About the show

In 1931 On a night cold enough to freeze your bones, a larger than life prospector, in search of a legendary lost gold mine in the wilderness of British Columbia, disappears without a trace. Known for his solid gold teeth and team of black stallions, he was a force of nature. So was he murdered? Did he fake his own death? Or was he the latest victim of a curse? 40 years earlier Slumach was accused of murder and from the gallows it is said that set a curse on anyone who searched for his hidden gold mine just before he was hanged. Since then many have sought his fortune and have met their demise. Deadman’s Curse: Volcanic Gold is a historical mystery podcast hosted by Kru Williams from History Television's hit original series Deadman's Curse: The Legend of the Lost Gold.
