In 1996, James Cameron and more than 80 film workers ended up doing the conga line in a Canadian hospital after eating broth laced with drugs. The culprits were never found, but now the publication of the police reports from that time may solve one of the mysteries of cinema.

James Cameron said the soup was mussel soup, but Bill Paxton, for his part, claimed it was made from clams. Whatever it was, on the night of August 8, 1996, the crew was in Halifax (Nova Scotia, Canada) on their last day of filming in the city. That day they were going to conclude the scenes set in the present ("84 years have passed...", etc.) and, immediately, they would move to Baja California, in Mexico, where a monumental replica of the cursed ship awaited them in a huge studio outside. They filmed at dusk, and around midnight, the film crew took a break for some dinner. "That soup was delicious. People came back for more," artist Marilyn McAvoy, in charge of recreating the renowned works of art that appear in the film, revealed. The case was closed due to lack of evidence in 1999, but now it could be close to resolution, according to a new ruling by the information and privacy commissioner.
