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.
From Traverse City, (now GR) YES. I’m not so sure about the spring and fall either. I don’t let my kids swim without a life vest when the lake is anything but calm. Riptides are scary AF.
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.
Great song, great lyrics and a great singer (Gordon lightfoot). Pity its such a sad story. God rest the 29 sailors that were lost with the Edmund Fitzgerald
@@tyoungtara3639 Indeed indeed. I've been singing that song, start to finish at least 5 times a year since '82. My Grand-dad served in the Australian Navy in WW2, and from him I've had an unabiding respect for sailors ever since. May the 29 always have peace and joy wherever they are now.
@@HungryForTastyFoodAndComicArt I've only been aware of the song for about 5 years or so but I love it. God bless your grandad for fighting for our freedom. I think all those that go to sea for there living are brave but especially so during times of war
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.
Here in Alpena, Thunder Bay lives up to it's name. 12 miles out you have 4-6 foot waves. But as the waves move into the shallow bay they build to 12 foot easy. Amazing the history of these lakes. Lots of great books out there if a person loves history.
I'm in the Twin Cities and have been to both Lake Ontario and Duluth off Lake Superior. There is a patience to the Lakes that the busy ever changing Oceans never seem to equal near the surface. 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?
The Great Lakes are were formed after the last ice age, after the kilometre thick glaciers that covered North America melted. The oldest evidence of humans in North America is approximately ~~14 000~~ 23,000 years old, millennia before the Great Lakes formed. The various stone structures under the lakes are believed to have been built by cultures around the filling lakes as they grew to their current size.
Really wished you guys had talked about the disappearance of Steven Kubacki, a man who was hiking in the snow on some ice in Lake Michigan and his footprints simply vanished, two years later he woke up in a field in Pennsylvania, wearing clothes that weren’t his and only about 45 minutes from his parent’s house

I've lived along the Great Lakes my entire life and know how creepy they can be. Many times I've been on a boat salmon fishing on Lake Michigan and experienced cold October winds and rain and rough waters; but it's actually August and looking at the shore just five miles away, there's sunshine and hot humid weather with not even a breeze. It's enough to make you stay ashore. But then there's the dogmen.....

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.
@@elliebro3370 Milwaukee Lakefront, was about 6:30 am, sun was rising, sky was dark still but reddish in the horizon. About 15 miles in Lake Michigan, probably 10,000 feet in the sky, was about 6 lights/orbs, hovering and flying around, and would move at fast speeds, imagine if you had a laser pointer and aiming it at a wall, the speeds were like that. They were UFO's, I'm 100% positive.
@@abcdaw22 Thank you, so much for sharing sharing that with me.. The internet is a beautiful thing, when individuals can share personal accounts of the supernatural and Ufo etc
The lakes are almost all large and deep enough to have rogue waves. That likely explains quite a few of these, but then again, I always prefer the more spooky ideas.
@@filmandfirearms Any decent storm over the Lakes does. The winds are absolutely savage. I've lived on the Lakes all my life, and you don't mess with them. They're big, cold, deep, and mean, and that's enough for me.
I'm speechless, the only thing I have ever suggested as a video topic was the mysteries of some Great Lakes shipwrecks. I don't know if that played any role, but actually seeing a video about the subject thrills me to no end anyway.
@@abz_414 Lake Michegan is pretty big, but I think Lake Atlantic & Lake Pacific are technically bigger (I could be wrong, so don't quote me on that). I live next to Lake Atlantic, and ships go missing all the time.
I was raised in Alpena on Lake Huron, the ice and wind on the lake in winter are no joke. My childhood friends made their careers on the "boats". Even in summer it can be a very dangerous lake.
I'm from Milwaukee, and it is true that the lakes are enigmatic and dangerous. However, it is not anything supernatural, but rather the very natural, yet unique geophraphy and weather of the region. Still, I enjoyed this video very much! It is nice to see the Great Lakes get recognition for the serious maritime region it truly is!
I live in Milwaukee close to it. My dad said in the 90s he remembers seeing numerous lights faking towards the lake and waiting for the impact he heard nothing. Apparently afterwards he chested the news because he thought they would of mentioned it says it was right next to downtown but nothing.
How do you explain Captain Donner? I personally think his crew did something to him, and lied about his door being locked from the inside. He's the only one that rogue weather can't account for.
I go diving in the Great lakes every summer. No shortage of wrecks, and no shortage of eeriness. Vey cold, dark, and colorless compared to ocean diving. Yet it just has an appeal that I can't quite put words to...
@@carmensmithaguirre3049 A little late response lol, but... I have not found any ruins (I think referring to shipwrecks) myself. I go on dives where we know that there is a specific sunken ship and go to check them out. If you do mean ruins like once lived in areas, unfortunately I have not dove anything like that--but would be cool! I did off the coast of Mexico a few years ago, saw some ancient statues/foundations a few hundred meters off shore.
My son's psychiatrist died while SCUBA diving off Sheboygan in L. Michigan. Tragic, he had attended Harvard and had just moved to Wisc. He was a great guy.
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.
The GREAT Lakes are very dangerous, at any time of year. A storm could happen at any time, and when this happens watch out. But the GREAT Lakes are also beautiful to. LOVE the stories KEEP them coming. 👍👍👍 I'll KEEP listening to them ok. M / M / M Mt. Man Mike
I’ve lived in Green Bay my whole life and have been out on those waters before, they are no joke, no matter the weather conditions. I’ve never heard of the Great Lakes triangle but I have heard of the many wrecks out there and those still missing.
Bedtime stories have done it again yet another spooky aswell as atmospheric story. As always a big well done fellas. Oh and just out of interest, have you ever thought of doing the legand of spring heeled jack???
Another outstanding episode professionally researched and narrated. This was truly fascinating to me. Bedtime Stories continues to consistently produce the best videos on all of TH-cam in my own very humble opinion.
Canadian here…from the Lake Ontario area. We Canuks know those waters are deadly, Superior especially. There are tons of stories on each lake but all of them the same message…respect the lakes and their power! And when a local says it’s not good to go out…don’t! Those of us that grow up on them, know their unpredictability. I’ve seen Lake Ontario go from calm as glass to huge breakers in less than 5 minutes.

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.
Bedtime stories always makes my day a little darker. I live in Ohio, those lakes might as well be oceans. They take what they can get, only to keep it forever. Jetskiing and boating many times up in Geneva on the Lake, there have been many unexplained lights I've seen just sitting there, hovering. 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. This world and universe in all actuality, has some things it likes to keep from us still
The illustrations in the episode are particularly gorgeous. I could watch a looped clip of the water moving beneath the moon for meditation. Lovely work.
Unreal this channel is tops The stories and presentation are outstanding. It is not long winded talking heads who like to hear them selves talk Have say it again you guys are great.
I theorize that the Tunnel monster lives/lived in some underground tunnel near St. James Town or near Castle Frank Stn. It whouldn't have lived long if it lived in a sewer main near Regent Park, it whould have been shot.
wow, I'm from the southern hemisphere, here we have Drakes Passage and Cape of Good Hope! You put me on an extreme Great Lakes investigation. Super scary as well, most people drown in Michigan but most ships wreck in superior. White Fish Point. As a man from South Africa and used to rough seas, have to say, there is something very off about lake Superior, she scares the shit out of me!!
I've lost count of the number of invites I've declined to go out on someone's boat on Lake Erie. Even though it's not as bad as the others, I still won't go out there. No way.
@@SonofTheMorningStar666 because geometry is used for charting maps: paths often look like polygons because the shortest distance between two points is a straight line
Sadly, Clive Cussler is no longer with us 😥 I liked his novels very much! I collected at least 20 of them when I was a teenager... I couldn't stop reading them. Missing ships, missing planes, mysteries... I loved it.
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.
I grew up in Pickering (30km East) from Toronto, I live in Toronto now. From the 1990s - 2000's there were reports from the guards stationed at the Pickering Nuclear Plant, which is located right on Lake Ontario of UFO's flying in/out of the lake then hovering over the plant.

I love stories about the great lakes, especially lake superior. Thats not even a lake. It's an inland ocean. But still, those stories really interest me.
Freshwater cannot be an ocean (Nor can you have an inland Ocean, you can have inland sea but not Ocean) , it may behave sea like but it is still a lake.

at the begining when you were questioning what caused it, all I could think bout ws the edmund fitzgerald song "she might have split up or she might of capsized she might have broke deep and took water, and all that remains are the fce nd the names and the sons and the wives and the daughters" truly a hunting song, I never forgot that song
I love how your team researches the Great Lakes and surrounding areas. Born and raised in Metro Detroit, Michigan is a truly fantastic state but it’s not for the faint of heart. Keep up the great work guys! I love your channel and the information and how you present it, truly top notch.
Ill be honest, im always like AWWWW fuck...soon as they say any city near me" im in Detroit and I travel to country sides all the time for work, im always alone too for miles and its terrifying 😹 but I love it, like damn..maybe ill become a story! Haha
11:34 I'm not a pilot myself, but i know a wee bit about aviation, and from what I understand, a plane should never ever try to fly under bad weather, you always try to fly around, or failing that you try to fly over. There may be more to the case, but it's definitely strange that they would try to drop altitude because of bad weather conditions.
Chicago born. Go to north ave beach every once in a while to smoke at night. Although the setting is great, anytime I acknowledge the black horizon on the lake it’s absolutely fear inducing
You can eat Great Lakes fish - just not a lot. Or very often. So yeah, probably a good idea to just avoid them. Besides, lots of fish from Lake Michigan have lamprey eels attached, or sore from past Lamprey bites. Guh-ross!
This one really hit home. I live in thunder bay and worked in the docks for a few summers. It's very rare for a ship to capsize up here (the waves aren't usually that large and the winds aren't usually that powerful), so one does it always raises an eyebrow
The Great Lakes are no joke. There have been so many times where Iv been swimming in calm water and get dragged under by a super strong under tow that is so out of place Because there is literarily 0 waves near me. Other times you will see boats from over 500 yards away just to get closer for it to vanish slowly in front of you before you can reach it. Lived on Lake Michigan my whole life and have defiantly experienced weird things. Almost like the lake is alive.
You're able to listen to an audio book while editing a video? That's amazing! I've done it for years and still actually have to pay attention to both video and audio when I do it.
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.
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.
I first read about the great lakes incidents over 40 yrs ago and it's intrigued me ever since thanks for the bio,much appreciated Auckland New Zealand 2021
I don't think the narration mentioned that the first story, of the minesweepers, occurred in 1918. I'm sure many of the people who commented below know this, and more, already. 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. Keep these coming. Thank you so much.
As someone from southern Ontario, the lakes here are especially cruel, back in high school 2 seniors passed away on Lake ON ever since then I realized just how common fetal accidents are on those waters, and Lake Huron is just as dangerous with an equally killer reputation.
Agreed. I live in the GTA and know how dangerous Lake Ontario is. Lake Huron is beautiful and the beaches up there can be shallow for dozens of feet off shore but I heard that more out in the open sea, the waters get mighty treacherous.
How bout that, I didn’t even know my hometown was a point marking a cryptic triangle! How exciting! I’ve always wanted weird and unexplainable things to happen near and/or around me!

Great song.
It is said.
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.
It's super rare for alligators to be found in the great lakes. It's way to cold for them up there. And I don't think crocodiles are found there.
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.
I agree, however there is much more too it. I seen stranges lights and ufo activity over Lake Michigan.
@@abcdaw22Can you please share with us, what it is you witnessed?
@@elliebro3370 Milwaukee Lakefront, was about 6:30 am, sun was rising, sky was dark still but reddish in the horizon. About 15 miles in Lake Michigan, probably 10,000 feet in the sky, was about 6 lights/orbs, hovering and flying around, and would move at fast speeds, imagine if you had a laser pointer and aiming it at a wall, the speeds were like that. They were UFO's, I'm 100% positive.
@@abcdaw22 Thank you, so much for sharing sharing that with me.. The internet is a beautiful thing, when individuals can share personal accounts of the supernatural and Ufo etc
The creepy part is that the Great Lakes aren’t even that large, you can literally see the opposite shore from many places...
How this channel doesn’t have 1M subs or more is the real mystery
You said it!
At least a Mil, this channel just feels so ahead of all others
I literally just said this as I was watching this channel today… it’s the best on TH-cam and 1 year since this comment, it still doesn’t have 1 mil!
The lakes are almost all large and deep enough to have rogue waves. That likely explains quite a few of these, but then again, I always prefer the more spooky ideas.
Right? We don’t want no logical explanation ... we want supernatural!
@@Jaker2123 ...LMFAO!!!!!!!
Doesn't really explain the aircraft, though
@@filmandfirearms Any decent storm over the Lakes does. The winds are absolutely savage. I've lived on the Lakes all my life, and you don't mess with them. They're big, cold, deep, and mean, and that's enough for me.
Yea but sailors who spoke of rouge waves till not long ago were ( supposedly drunk) just saying lol
I'm speechless, the only thing I have ever suggested as a video topic was the mysteries of some Great Lakes shipwrecks. I don't know if that played any role, but actually seeing a video about the subject thrills me to no end anyway.

@@crazysilly2914 it also depends on the lake.
Crazy Silly That never happened.
Not lake michigan..can't see a hint of land just vast endless water..fyi
@@abz_414 Lake Michegan is pretty big, but I think Lake Atlantic & Lake Pacific are technically bigger (I could be wrong, so don't quote me on that). I live next to Lake Atlantic, and ships go missing all the time.
As a person living in Wisconsin, I can definitely say that the Lakes should always be treated with respect. Weather here can change so quickly.
More stories from the Great Lakes Triangle please!
I was raised in Alpena on Lake Huron, the ice and wind on the lake in winter are no joke. My childhood friends made their careers on the "boats". Even in summer it can be a very dangerous lake.
I been to Alpina once ,, its very beautiful in the northeast,,,
I Always hit the like button first because I know the story is all ways gonna be good
I do the same thing. Just hit like because I know I'm going to like it.
I do this too! Same with Mr Ballen's stories.
I'm from Milwaukee, and it is true that the lakes are enigmatic and dangerous. However, it is not anything supernatural, but rather the very natural, yet unique geophraphy and weather of the region. Still, I enjoyed this video very much! It is nice to see the Great Lakes get recognition for the serious maritime region it truly is!
_"....it is not anything supernatural..."_
mhmm Unless its aliens!
I live in Milwaukee close to it. My dad said in the 90s he remembers seeing numerous lights faking towards the lake and waiting for the impact he heard nothing. Apparently afterwards he chested the news because he thought they would of mentioned it says it was right next to downtown but nothing.
How do you explain Captain Donner? I personally think his crew did something to him, and lied about his door being locked from the inside. He's the only one that rogue weather can't account for.
Going through tonsillectomy recovery at 38. Your videos are well appreciated!
I go diving in the Great lakes every summer. No shortage of wrecks, and no shortage of eeriness. Vey cold, dark, and colorless compared to ocean diving. Yet it just has an appeal that I can't quite put words to...
Have you found ruins?
@@carmensmithaguirre3049 A little late response lol, but... I have not found any ruins (I think referring to shipwrecks) myself. I go on dives where we know that there is a specific sunken ship and go to check them out. If you do mean ruins like once lived in areas, unfortunately I have not dove anything like that--but would be cool! I did off the coast of Mexico a few years ago, saw some ancient statues/foundations a few hundred meters off shore.
My son's psychiatrist died while SCUBA diving off Sheboygan in L. Michigan. Tragic, he had attended Harvard and had just moved to Wisc. He was a great guy.
Stay safe.
@@trentg2033 That is amazing.
"And his pipe lay on a table nearby" just as the pipe shows up on screen! You guys are awesome, truly. Thanks for another great video.
The captain is gonna be pissed in his new dimension when he can't find his pipe.
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.
If the ship broke up while sinking it won't leave an intact wreck. So the debris they found is all that was left to find.
The GREAT Lakes are very dangerous, at any time of year.
A storm could happen at any time, and when this happens watch out.
But the GREAT Lakes are also beautiful to.
LOVE the stories KEEP them coming.
👍👍👍
I'll KEEP listening to them ok.

have to admit I've been fascinated since Ask A Mortician did a really good video about the tragedies of Lake Superior
I love Caitlin Doughty, answering all the questions we've wondered, and some we've never even considered, in her unique sassy way. 💛
Yes, she did an awesome epsiode on this
I've got my sister hookes on these videos now too. It's awesome because i get to rewatch allthese videos with my sister.
I’ve lived in Green Bay my whole life and have been out on those waters before, they are no joke, no matter the weather conditions. I’ve never heard of the Great Lakes triangle but I have heard of the many wrecks out there and those still missing.
The creepy part is that the Great Lakes aren’t even that large, you can literally see the opposite shore from many places...
Bedtime stories have done it again yet another spooky aswell as atmospheric story. As always a big well done fellas. Oh and just out of interest, have you ever thought of doing the legand of spring heeled jack???
Another outstanding episode professionally researched and narrated. This was truly fascinating to me. Bedtime Stories continues to consistently produce the best videos on all of TH-cam in my own very humble opinion.
Canadian here…from the Lake Ontario area. We Canuks know those waters are deadly, Superior especially. There are tons of stories on each lake but all of them the same message…respect the lakes and their power!
And when a local says it’s not good to go out…don’t! Those of us that grow up on them, know their unpredictability.
I’ve seen Lake Ontario go from calm as glass to huge breakers in less than 5 minutes.
I live in Michigan and have been fascinated by the Great Lakes for a good portion of my life. Thanks for making this video!
As a Michigander born and raised... I approve this message... Lol... 😆
Same
Same and agreed.
Same West Michigan
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.
Erie knows your pain. lol
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.
And one of them had decided their name is now Spock?

@@lpsoldin3162 No, Spook.
Now that's interesting. Are you a writer, perchance? If not, you should be. Bravo.
😂😂I came here to comment something similar. Love it!
Bedtime stories always makes my day a little darker. I live in Ohio, those lakes might as well be oceans. They take what they can get, only to keep it forever. Jetskiing and boating many times up in Geneva on the Lake, there have been many unexplained lights I've seen just sitting there, hovering. 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. This world and universe in all actuality, has some things it likes to keep from us still

The illustrations in the episode are particularly gorgeous. I could watch a looped clip of the water moving beneath the moon for meditation. Lovely work.
Unreal this channel is tops
The stories and presentation are outstanding.
It is not long winded talking heads who like to hear them selves talk
Have say it again you guys are great.
About ready to sleep......DAMN YOU BEDTIME STORIES, must watch.......
I gotta say, everytime every episode is a "Whammi" outstanding story telling.
For future videos, can I request the Order of Nine Angles, Dulce Base/underground lizard people, Sawney Bean and the Toronto Tunnel Monster?
What if we all suddenly go into Toronto tunnel and cause a rush hour ?
I theorize that the Tunnel monster lives/lived in some underground tunnel near St. James Town or near Castle Frank Stn. It whouldn't have lived long if it lived in a sewer main near Regent Park, it whould have been shot.
Ah, it’s great when I watching the new episode on every Sunday afternoon. :) ;)
wow, I'm from the southern hemisphere, here we have Drakes Passage and Cape of Good Hope! You put me on an extreme Great Lakes investigation. Super scary as well, most people drown in Michigan but most ships wreck in superior. White Fish Point. As a man from South Africa and used to rough seas, have to say, there is something very off about lake Superior, she scares the shit out of me!!
She is beautiful
I've lost count of the number of invites I've declined to go out on someone's boat on Lake Erie. Even though it's not as bad as the others, I still won't go out there. No way.
I read "Vanishings" and "Triangle" and thought this was a Bermuda thing, then I saw the rest
Why do they always involve geometry? That's stupid.
It's close enough for government work.
You should see the Romblon Triangle.
@@SonofTheMorningStar666 because geometry is used for charting maps: paths often look like polygons because the shortest distance between two points is a straight line
I never realized I lived in a triangle before now.
Sadly, Clive Cussler is no longer with us 😥 I liked his novels very much! I collected at least 20 of them when I was a teenager... I couldn't stop reading them. Missing ships, missing planes, mysteries... I loved it.
The Great Lakes are nothing to trifled with....
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.
it's the same with Lake Tahoe where I live. Bodies sink, never to be seen again, it's a great place to hide them.
The lakes are a BRUTAL Coast Guard assignments.
One of the best channels on TH-cam.
Much thanks for all ur hard work!!
Wow, today’s episode is interesting and spooky.
Easily one of the best channels on YT, thanks for the great videos!
I live about 20mins west of toronto on lake ontario. And i myself have seen reddish orange lights fly into lake ontario. Crazy.
I grew up in Pickering (30km East) from Toronto, I live in Toronto now. From the 1990s - 2000's there were reports from the guards stationed at the Pickering Nuclear Plant, which is located right on Lake Ontario of UFO's flying in/out of the lake then hovering over the plant.
@@sirxavior1583 wow. Amazing. I knew we what we saw was real. It just seems so surreal. And espically unreal telling others that think ur crazy. Or high. Or something along these lines
this channel is 10/10. 5 Star.
I would love to have every hand drawn clip framed in my home. All except for that barking dog guy from the Nevada Desert.
I love stories about the great lakes, especially lake superior. Thats not even a lake. It's an inland ocean. But still, those stories really interest me.
Freshwater cannot be an ocean (Nor can you have an inland Ocean, you can have inland sea but not Ocean) , it may behave sea like but it is still a lake.
Lake Superior is a lake one of four

@@nickfrost9771 hate to break it to you but there are no alligators in the Great Lakes .
@@jimstaboodleooferson8983 there are no alligators. But there are definitely sea creatures in the great lakes.
at the begining when you were questioning what caused it, all I could think bout ws the edmund fitzgerald song "she might have split up or she might of capsized she might have broke deep and took water, and all that remains are the fce nd the names and the sons and the wives and the daughters" truly a hunting song, I never forgot that song
Thanks for yet another great episode, guys!
Yet another fantastic video guys well done keep up the good work
I’m from outside Detroit, and I’ve always wondered about all these shipwrecks all around the Great Lakes...🤔
I love how your team researches the Great Lakes and surrounding areas. Born and raised in Metro Detroit, Michigan is a truly fantastic state but it’s not for the faint of heart.
Keep up the great work guys! I love your channel and the information and how you present it, truly top notch.
I feel worse about living just by the great lakes.
Also, love from Canada, keep bringing the good content, man.
Ill be honest, im always like AWWWW fuck...soon as they say any city near me" im in Detroit and I travel to country sides all the time for work, im always alone too for miles and its terrifying 😹 but I love it, like damn..maybe ill become a story! Haha
11:34 I'm not a pilot myself, but i know a wee bit about aviation, and from what I understand, a plane should never ever try to fly under bad weather, you always try to fly around, or failing that you try to fly over. There may be more to the case, but it's definitely strange that they would try to drop altitude because of bad weather conditions.
Yay, stories about the Great Lakes. Love from Michigan!
I needed this before bedtime. Goodnight everybody
Night
great. im not gonna sleep this sunday night and ill go to work monday completely wasted.
worth it.
Your Sunday afternoon release is my favorite. Something about a Bedtimes story before the long week just feels right.
Clive Custer was an awesome guy and a great author
May he rest in peace
Chicago born. Go to north ave beach every once in a while to smoke at night. Although the setting is great, anytime I acknowledge the black horizon on the lake it’s absolutely fear inducing
As a life time Rust Belt-er, don't eat the fish outta Lake Ontario. Stick with the Finger Lakes. Except for Onondaga Lake. She's placid with death.
We were always told this and never swim in it either ...
You can eat Great Lakes fish - just not a lot. Or very often. So yeah, probably a good idea to just avoid them. Besides, lots of fish from Lake Michigan have lamprey eels attached, or sore from past Lamprey bites. Guh-ross!
Thanks for the new video. Was just watching another one of your videos when this one popped up.
I'm not sure if I'm convinced it's aliens, but I'm 100% certain Giorgio Tsoukalos is convinced it's aliens.
im not saying its aliens... but its aliens
It's aliens but they ain't ETs they're STs (sub terrestrial) FROM HERE
In any case his hair was styled by aliens 😂
I loved the graffics on the planes engines watching the propellers!!! Steller job, down right brilliant work!!!
I live in Wisconsin My dad almost died in Lake Michigan luckily he held on long enough for the Coast Guard to find him he was one of the lucky ones 🙏
This one really hit home. I live in thunder bay and worked in the docks for a few summers. It's very rare for a ship to capsize up here (the waves aren't usually that large and the winds aren't usually that powerful), so one does it always raises an eyebrow
The Great Lakes are no joke. There have been so many times where Iv been swimming in calm water and get dragged under by a super strong under tow that is so out of place Because there is literarily 0 waves near me. Other times you will see boats from over 500 yards away just to get closer for it to vanish slowly in front of you before you can reach it. Lived on Lake Michigan my whole life and have defiantly experienced weird things. Almost like the lake is alive.
Mikey's illustrations are phenomenal. 👍
This is it, this is the one I've been waiting for🔺️🌊
Another solid video, it's great seeing your channel go from strength to strength.
If you try real hard, everything has a triangle
And fit the Fibonacci Sequence!

You're able to listen to an audio book while editing a video? That's amazing! I've done it for years and still actually have to pay attention to both video and audio when I do it.
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.
@@SUBARCTICPSYCHO Talk about a small world...
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.
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.
Nothing like this great channel!
I first read about the great lakes incidents over 40 yrs ago and it's intrigued me ever since thanks for the bio,much appreciated Auckland New Zealand 2021
The mote I learn about these lakes the more I can't believe the callous and ignorant nature I used to splash in them as a child.
Innocence is bliss?
I don't think the narration mentioned that the first story, of the minesweepers, occurred in 1918. I'm sure many of the people who commented below know this, and more, already. 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.
Keep these coming. Thank you so much.

As someone from southern Ontario, the lakes here are especially cruel, back in high school 2 seniors passed away on Lake ON ever since then I realized just how common fetal accidents are on those waters, and Lake Huron is just as dangerous with an equally killer reputation.
Agreed. I live in the GTA and know how dangerous Lake Ontario is. Lake Huron is beautiful and the beaches up there can be shallow for dozens of feet off shore but I heard that more out in the open sea, the waters get mighty treacherous.
I do love these tales and the pictures
How bout that, I didn’t even know my hometown was a point marking a cryptic triangle! How exciting! I’ve always wanted weird and unexplainable things to happen near and/or around me!
If your nearest and dearest suddenly 'disappear into thin air' one day, never to be seen again, I guess you wouldn't see it as "exciting" any more....
