Legends say just prior to afternoon along the Platte River in Wyoming there's a chance a strange mist will appear without warning and if you stay long enough, from beyond the mist, a sailing ship will become visible.
The ship itself carries an undead crew and if you're unlucky they'll show you the ghostly body of a loved one destined to die. A premonition or a curse?
On today's episode of Myths, Mysteries, & Monsters we find out the truth behind the legend, if there's any truth to it at all.
