The Main Secret of the Lake Michigan Triangle

It’s not so hard to imagine something mysterious like ships and planes vanishing in the infamous Bermuda Triangle. The ocean is big and full of wonders, after all. But what about, say, a lake? It’s not so absurd when we’re talking about one as huge as Lake Michigan. Yes, The Michigan Triangle is a thing, and it’s just as eerily inexplicable…

The triangle is situated in the lower half of the lake. It’s 16 times smaller than the Bermuda Triangle, but strange events happen here no less frequently, especially if you keep in mind the difference in size. Some witnesses report seeing a strange glow under the surface, others swear they saw a UFO in the skies over the lake, and so many just feel uneasy being there. So, you ready to dive in?

SUMMARY:
- The North American Great Lakes are all massive, and Lake Michigan itself is the 4th largest freshwater lake in the world.
- The triangle is situated in the lower half of the lake, with a corner at Manitowoc, Wisconsin and the other two at Ludington and Benton Harbor, Michigan.
- The first case goes way back to the 17th century, when the Great Lakes started to become a means of moving goods for trading.
- In August of 1679, a French ship called Le Griffon was sailing across the unchartered waters of the Great Lakes. But when she made it to Lake Michigan, Le Griffon… just vanished.
- The cause of Le Griffon’s disappearance never was fully established. Some evidence points at a sudden storm, while others believe it was rival traders that attacked and destroyed the vessel.
- The weirdest thing is that Le Griffon’s wreckage never was found.
- The next noticeable vanishing happened in 1891 to the Thomas Hume schooner.
- The schooner never did make it back to its home port. The search for the ship was initiated almost immediately, but with no results for almost 120 years.
- There would also be the Rosa Belle. Also a lumber schooner, she set off on her final voyage from High Island to Benton Harbor in 1921.
- She was found later drifting aimlessly on the waters of Lake Michigan after being capsized by some great force.
- To add to the mystery, the ship’s crew was nowhere to be found and never heard from again…
- Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 2501 had taken off from New York and was headed for Seattle on June 23.
- It would appear that Flight 2501 had encountered a storm cloud, the plane malfunctioned, and then fell into Lake Michigan. But even with all efforts to try and find the wreckage, there was no success.
- Reportedly, two police officers saw a strange red light hovering above the lake on exactly the same day the plane disappeared.
- The anomaly of The Lake Michigan Triangle, if it exists and whatever it really is, remains a giant flaming question mark on the map of the United States.

I live in Michigan and didn’t even know about the “Michigan Triangle”

[coconutads]

I have 25 years blue water sailing, The worst storm I have ever been in was on lake Michigan, 25 to 30 ft waves. As soon as we went up a wave and down the other side we were going back up. I think because the shore is close unlike the ocean the waves stack up. It was during the Mackinac race, 2 sailboats sunk and I believe one person died.

I grew up in Michigan. I love the Great Lakes and all the history & mysteries surrounding them.

I swam in that part of the lake 2 weeks ago. I was an clear water and could see the bottom but I felt incredibly unsafe. Like suffocating unsafe. I swam to the piers ladder and held onto it and I still felt unface. Something in that water. Below. I could see the bottom but it was weird.

Was there any diver that vanished in that area while searching!!??

[pisibol]

I really like how your voice mix trough the video 😍😍

I live in a high rise building at the southern most point of Lake Michigan. If you jog along the shore on certain bright sunny days when there is no wave action the water is very transparent you can observe outlines of objects in the water like small airplanes or boats. Same people say these are wrecks of WWII training incidents gone wrong.

I live in Michigan & this is my first time hearing of this especially since I’ve been so interested in the Bermuda Triangle...

[jeanzyc.]

I have lived in Michigan my whole life and no one has ever talked about this. I wonder why?

[finerose]

I know there are some people they only view a video justs to comment first and not to see what the video holds lool!!!

The lake is not like the ocean regarding storm waves. In the ocean, you have all that space for high waves to move, giving ships time to ready for the next wave. In a lake where there's smaller space for the waves to move, storm waves are relentless. So there's no recovery for the ships.

The Bermuda Triangle is very mysterious! Didn’t know there were similar issues on the Great Lakes. Thanks!

[michelepashia]

Michigan born and still a resident 😊 been to all the Great Lakes to many time's to count, all the light houses that you can get to (some aren't) and to the straights of Michigan and Mackinac Island and Fort Mackinac! Michigan has so really cool and very unique history

[MSWaker]

I live in Benton Harbor, the lower corner of this triangle. The whole lake is mysterious! So many wreckages, however the triangle may have higher % of wrecks than the rest of it...but who knows. I respect this water like I would an ocean, even without sharks, whales, squid and the like. The waves are more erratic and in some respects worse than the oceans!

[emoskimo]

As someone who lives in Holland Mi, at the center of the triangle, I’ve never heard about it. But it makes sense with all the missing boats and people we hear about every year

I heard when they were doing a search and recovery for a ship they found 2 Ancient Egyptian ships intact resting on underwater cliffs in one of the lakes i think it was lake Ontario
