Introducing Missed Fortune

In 2010, retired art dealer Forrest Fenn hid a bronze chest worth roughly $1 million somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. The only way to find it? Deciphering clues in a poem he published in his autobiography. Hundreds of thousands of searchers went looking. But few risked more on their hunt than a former cop from Seattle named Darrell Seyler.

TRUE CRIME
Will Sharpe (The White Lotus) hosts a mind-bending real-life story of reincarnation and a spooky tale of family secrets. In 1950s England, milkman John Pollock makes a sensational prophecy: His dead daughters will be reborn. At first, even his own wife says he’s a crank. But then she gives birth to twin girls who have uncanny similarities to their sisters who died. Suddenly, the world sits up and takes notice. Pollock’s prophecy attracts the attention of a serious American scientist who crosses the Atlantic countless times to study the twins. And his conclusion is astonishing. So, what if death is only the beginning? Extrasensory goes in search of the two people who know the truth—the twins themselves. Extrasensory is an Apple Original podcast produced by Blanchard House.

Almost skipped this story because I was already familiar with it. Chose to try it & loved it. The host did an excellent job. Production was excellent. Glad I found this podcast after all episodes were released, so was able to binge it.
Story is hidden behind the Journalists Opinions

The podcast host thinks that this treasure hunt is hurting people, and spends the whole series saying that this hunt, this dream is bad for people. If you feel a certain way, save that for the final episode and make it just one episode. Don’t spend the whole series interjecting your opinion on a story worth telling. Hard to listen with constant condescending opinions being thrown in every few minutes.
Thank you
