The Canadian caper is the nickname for the rescue of six Americans who had been able to avoid capture during the Iran Hostage Crisis. The diplomats were not caught during the initial invasion of the United States Embassy in Tehran, and through a joint effort between the governments of the United States and Canada, were smuggled out of the country and to safety. A cover story was concocted by the CIA where the six diplomats were given fake Canadian passports and posed as filmmakers scouting locations for a fictitious science fiction movie named “Argo”.

The SS Baychimo is a famous ghost ship that was abandoned in 1931 but continued to be sighted along the Alaskan coastline through 1969. It was originally a ship that served on trade routes for the Germans in World War I but was given to the United Kingdom as war reparations. On a voyage in 1931, the ship became trapped in pack ice and the crew disembarked. A few days later, it was sighted 45 miles away. Eventually, the ship was abandoned entirely, and was seen 300 miles away a few months later. It was never able to be completely salvaged, and these sightings continued over the years until it’s last confirmed sighting in 1969.

Lazarus syndrome is a medical condition where a patient who has been declared dead by doctors experiences a spontaneous return of circulation. Medical literature has documented at least twenty-five instances of the syndrome since 1982. Examples include a person being declared dead and being taken to the morgue, only to be found alive and breathing shortly thereafter. Doctors can thus be faced with a dilemma for when to determine that medical death has occurred in a patient, and that post-mortem activities can begin to take place.
