History
**FORGOTTEN NEWS PODCAST**

Welcome to the Forgotten News podcast. This is your window to hear true stories from long ago. Stories that once made headlines. Stories that people thought would be unforgettable, but soon were lost in the sands of time, or were buried deep in the dustbin of history. In this podcast, we brush off the sand and dust, and share those stories with you, today — as fresh as when they were first told.

In 1851, an unknown man suddenly appeared in a small town Germany, saying he was a survivor of a shipwreck, but claiming to be from a country (and continent) that no one had ever heard of. Yet, he was fully believed. The police chief wondered if he might have somehow traveled from another world.
