ASMR Bedtime Stories: Donner Party, Oak Island, Bermuda Triangle (2.5 hours)

This soft spoken ASMR video is about 3 different stories: The Donner Party, a group of migrants who traveled from Illinois to California in 1846 but did not manage to reach their destination before the winter and had to set camp in the Sierra Nevada until they were rescued in 1847. Oak Island, a small island in Nova Scotia that has become famous as a place where a fabulous treasure or even historical artifacts would be hidden. Since the first rumours appeared more than 200 years ago, the legend has acquired a life of its own. The Bermuda Triangle, the concept from the 1950's and 60's that a large area of the Atlantic, East of Florida, saw too many disappearances of ships and aircrafts.
