Six Teenagers Vanish Without a Trace | The Lost Boys of Pickering

Episode 47 - On the night of March 17, 1995, something strange happened in the quiet lakeside city of Pickering, Ontario. Six teenage boys vanished mysteriously due to unknown circumstances that continue to haunt families, investigators, and true crime buffs. Despite extensive searches, multiple leads, and decades of speculation, no definitive evidence has ever explained where these teens went or what truly happened that night. Parents waited for sons who did not come home. Friends assumed someone else had heard from them. Police initially believed they were simply runaways. But as weeks turned into months and months into years, one chilling question refused to go away: How could six boys vanish — and no one know why?

Ship Goes Missing on Lake Superior | Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Episode 43 - On November 10th 1975, the largest ship on the Great Lakes sailed into one of the worst storms Lake Superior had ever seen. The ship attempted to make it to shore in Whitefish Bay but ended up vanishing without a trace, never reaching its destination. The SS Edmund Fitzgerald, considered the pride of American inland shipping, was lost along with twenty-nine crew members. At the time nobody knew what happened to the ship as it had simply disappeared. It was eventually found a few days later at the bottom of Lake Superior split in two parts. What happened to the boat and why did it sink the night of November 10th? To understand this event and the tragic loss of life we must first look at the life of the ship, its final voyage, and the fury of the storm that claimed her.   SHOW NOTES SS Edmund Fitzgerald - Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Edmund_Fitzgerald] The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald - Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wreck_of_the_Edmund_Fitzgerald] The Legend of the Edmund Fitzgerald | Northern Michigan History [https://northernmichiganhistory.com/the-legend-of-the-edmund-fitzgerald/] The Storm and Voyage — S.S.
