      Outside of the obvious missing. The lakes are riddled with bacteria, amoebas, human waste, spores, etc... They are disgusting so any who dare enter them are welcoming death. Oh yeah, and MANY fresh water killers such as alligators, crocodiles, snakes, sea creatures are found in them as well. In the winters, they find their ways into the sewer systems.

    I was raised in Marquette, a shipping town on Lake Superior on the Michigan side. That lake is something else. I have never come across a body of water with such a sinister presence to her. Even when it is calm, you are still on edge because 5-10 ft. Swells will whip up out of nowhere and sweep you off the pier or capsize your boat. When you are on the Great Lakes you treat them with the utmost of respect

      I grew up on The Detroit River closer to Lake Erie than Lake St. Clair. I remember how terrifying it was if you accidently left the channels and went out into the open Lake on your boat. I think most people that do not live on or near The Great Lakes really underestimate them until they experience how large and temperamental the lakes are just because they have the word Lake in their name. Now I live off Lake Ontario and in a section that rarely gets any strong storms, but watching our shores and swells when there is a storm going on 50km North of us is just as scary as when there is a local storm over us making waves, and seeing the condition of the water and how murky and stirred up it gets for days after before it calms back down lets you know the waters are no joke no matter how small or swallow they seem.

Not even in deep sea footage tbh. It's a colder less welcoming place even foreign sailors mention it. People might cross the Oceans solo but has anyone tried on the Lakes?

    My grandfather was the cook on one of the ships that sailed on the Great Lakes to transport taconite to the steel mills. He was really superstitious and wary of the lakes, particularly Lake Superior (we are from Duluth). I remember him telling us some crazy stories when I was young. He retired in the mid 70's and has now passed, but he instilled in all of us a very definite wariness and respect for the Great Lakes.

    Having spent my life on the Great Lakes I have to say that one thing people don't realize is that these are essentially vast inland seas. Hurricane-force winds and 20 ft waves are the norm during storms and such severe weather could account for most of the missing ships. Also, prior to the invention of radar/sonar there were many uncharted reefs and shoals which took out the bottoms of ships.

    A great episode as always. I particularly enjoy a good mystery shipwreck.
    And as you mentioned, there's plenty more tales worth the telling. For instance, the disappearance of the SS Marquette & Bessemer No. 2.
    She was a train ferry tasked with carrying coal hoppers across Lake Erie, normally a safe and routine trip. On December 7, 1909 however, she ran into a severe storm that dropped visibility down to almost nothing and made it too dangerous to enter her usual destination of Port Stanley, Ontario. Concerned about his cargo of 30 heavily loaded railway cars potentially shifting and destabilizing the ship, the captain tried to find an alternative place to wait out the storm. Throughout the night and into the next morning residents on shore and the crews of nearby steamers reported hearing the ship's distress whistle and occasionally seeing the silhouetted bulk of the massive ferry, but by daybreak on the 8th she was gone. On the 10th a ship reported sailing through a debris field including bits of green painted wood, the same color as the M&B's superstructure, and on the 12th one of her lifeboats was found with no one aboard. To this day the wreck has never been found.

    Captain Donner, who passed into an alternate dimension without realizing it, woke up in his cabin and was initially annoyed that he couldn't find his pipe. His annoyance soon turned to dread and then outright fear, however, when he discovered that every single man among of his crew was now sporting a goatee, which had inexplicably appeared on their previously clean-shaven faces during the time the captain slept. Even more disturbing, although he couldn't say exactly why, Captain Donner somehow felt his newly hirsute crew was in some way...evil.

I've been around water most my life so, well versed in the different technologies we have created, I tend to think I know differences between explainable phenomenon, and the unexplainable.

    Native Michigander here. We have a saying that 'the Lake keeps her secrets', and indeed she does, as her waters are so cold that it halts decomposition and doesn't allow the bodies to bloat. That, alongside the terrible weather we get on the waters, most wrecks never have any survivors due to the frigid water, or bodies to recover because they've all hit the bottom.
    As for the ships, we're talking about massive lakes, with shifting waters that can spit out entire trees made into driftwood, finding anything is like a needle in a haystack. My mum and I came across an old wrecked ship that washed ashore on the beach we lived next to, and it turned out to be from the 1800s and had been lost that whole time. If my memory serves, it was still in pretty decent condition; enough to be recognized as a wrecked ship.
    The planes are easier to explain. A massive carrier almost wrecked into the place we lived because of a freak snowstorm, and my grandfather died in a wreck because of the muddy landing strip and sudden fog. The weather here turns on a dime. We can experience all four seasons in one day.

But for people like myself, who are hearing about a part of the world very very far from anywhere they have ever been, dates, place names etc..are all new.
    It is really interesting hearing about such things. As I said, I've never been anywhere even near to this area. I've travelled a lot and lived around the world all my life, but never near the Great Lakes. It makes it an interesting way to learn geography and geology and even meteorology of this fascination area. I keep having to stop and look up all sorts of things. All the place names and rather exotic and beautiful sounding. Many of the photographs of the areas involved in the stories are also really beautiful.

    Hearing about that plane reminded me have that episode on expedition unknown with Josh gates and just how emotional it is for the families and the people trying to find the plane too is for them.

    Its not just sea disappearances. This area is significant in Missing 411 disappearances too. Nearby water is a common profile point with those.

      What really intrigued me was the cases of the two women who went missing in Juneau, AK just months apart from each other back in 2014. They had both grown up on opposite sides of one of the great lakes.

      Not to be rude but missing 411 is a crack pot conspiracy cooked up by a dirty cop with no experience in the out doors who has a major hate boner for the U.S. National Parks service. Every one of his so called "missing 411 cases" that I've looked into had no mysteriousness to them, just his failure to understand how things work outside of big cities.

      @@Princess_Celestia_ "not to be rude", then proceeds to be the worst kind of denigrating prick possible to David Paulides and to literally thousands of other researchers who have been investigating these cases for years and come to an entirely different set of conclusions than you. Many of whom are SAR, mountaineers, Park rangers, and sheriffs from all walks of life and sizes of jurisdictions. Extraordinary claims; such as yours, require extraordinary evidence. Go ahead, the burden of proof is on you. Otherwise, a simple, "I don't put nearly as much credence in the 411 cases as Paulides and others do" suits just fine.

      @@Your.Best.Friend David is a con man who was fired from the police after he was caught verifying forged autographs. After he lost his job he concocted this nonsense to swindle people out of their money while simultaneously insinuating that the National Parks are intentionally withholding information that puts people's lives in danger. I got friends that are park rangers at national parks who have been harassed by David's cohort of morons.
      It's not a not prick move to call out harmful bulls**t. And these so called "researchers" are no better then the a$$holes that damaged the sphinx in Egypt while looking for a hidden chamber.

    Paranormal triangles always tend to be in places where lots and lots of shipping and air travel goes through, and anything that goes wrong on either of them just ends up being contributed to them being paranormal "zones." I think a great many folks just don't recognize how treacherous open water can be, especially when they're a lake or inland sea.
