Show notes

In 1972, Eastern Airlines Flight 401 crashed in the Florida Everglades, killing more than 100 people, including the pilot and crew. That story on its own would be incredibly tragic. But in the months that followed, several Eastern Airlines employees and passengers began reporting that they had begun seeing the ghosts of Flight 401 on other planes.
