From tragic royals to wronged innocents, these tales are sure to captivate and maybe even send a shiver down your spine. Notable Quotes: "She knelt down, and in a particularly heartbreaking moment, she had trouble finding the block and was heard saying, "What shall I do? Where is it?" A sympathetic onlooker guided her to it and helped her lay her head. The executioner then asked for her forgiveness, and with a single stroke, her life was ended."

    In 1845 two ships named the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, carried 134 men towards the frozen waters of what is now Nunavut, Canada in order to finish mapping the then theoretical route, known as the Northwest Passage. Other than 5 men who fell ill early into the expedition and were discharged, the renowned Caption Franklin and his entire crew would be dead in just a few short years. It would be 169 years until the first of the two ships were found, thanks to an Inuit historian named Louie Kamookak who was from a place called Gjoa Haven. Mr. Kamookak dedicated his life to documenting Inuit oral history and all the legends about the Franklin expedition told to him by the community elders. When the fleet first went missing, the Inuit testimony was disregarded due to racism, but Louie knew in his heart that they were true, and he proved it - to all of us.
