American Explorer’s Unsolved Death
On May 14, 1804 Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set out on what would become a two year expedition across the western half of the United States.
Yet for all the successes of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, there lies a shadow over the legacy of the famed Meriwether Lewis-- for as this daring explorer was able to survive the treacherous journey into the vast wilderness of North America, his life came to an end not long after his return-- a tragedy with mysterious circumstances that over two centuries later remains unsolved.
In the city of Cleveland,Tennessee is a legendary mausoleum haunted by the spirit of young girl killed in a tragic accident at a railroad crossing. Legend says if you circle the tomb seven times and then approach it's entrance, the metal door will swing open and invite you in. Yet this legend isn’t what made the ornate marble mausoleum the basis of one of the most infamous ghost stories in East Tennessee— it’s that the marble tomb seems to bleed.
