Three Mysteries: Donner Party, Oak Island, Bermuda Triangle | Sleepy Mysteries from History
This episode details three different historical mysteries. First, we will relive the voyage of the Donner Party, a group of migrants who traveled from Illinois to California in 1846, but did not manage to reach their destination before the winter and had to set camp in the Sierra Nevada, until they were rescued in 1847. Second, we will travel to Oak Island, a small island in Nova Scotia that has become famous as a place where a fabulous treasure or even historical artifacts would be hidden. Finally, I will tell you of the Bermuda Triangle, the concept from the 1950s and 60s that a large area of the Atlantic, East of Florida, saw too many disappearances of ships and aircraft.
