______________
In this chapter, we investigate the urban legend of the 'Platte River Death Ship'. On foggy days along the Platte, it is said that a frost-covered phantom sailing ship is known to appear, its crew gathered around a body that’s revealed to be someone the witness knows, later revealing itself to be an omen of death.
Join us as we trace where the tale appears, what details stay consistent, what changes as it spreads, and where the legend first made its appearance in our collective stories.
