The triangle of Lake Michigan scares travelers more than Bermuda

There's a creepy place in the South Atlantic called the Bermuda Triangle. There are mystical disappearances of ships and planes. Probably everyone has heard about this. But there is a less well-known, but no less sinister place on the planet. People also disappear here and all sorts of inexplicable phenomena occur, from mysterious ice blocks falling from the sky to fireballs and strange floating lights. What is it, the machinations of aliens, a time portal or some kind of black hole?

Disasters on the lake

The Lake Michigan Triangle is a section that extends from Manitowoc, Wisconsin, to Ludington, Michigan, and further south to Benton Harbor.

The term "Great Lakes triangle" was first proposed by Charles Berlitz. He was a proponent of the theory of the anomaly of the Bermuda Triangle and calculated that there are many more disappearances per unit area of Lake Michigan than in the Bermuda Triangle.

According to various reports, very strange incidents occurred in the waters of Lake Michigan. Someone believes that it all started with the disappearance of the" Griffin "in 1679, someone connects it with the loss of the" Thomas Hume " in 1891. This ship was carrying lumber and disappeared in some mysterious way. Despite all attempts to find the vessel, it remained lost until a team of A&T divers found it in 2006.

Another mysterious incident that makes you believe in the existence of a Triangle is the incident with Rose Belle. In 1921, the ship was carrying supplies when it was found upside down in the water. By the nature of the damage, it looked like the ship had collided with another ship. But there were no other shipwrecks or even reports of an accident. Moreover, the entire crew, consisting of 11 people, disappeared.

In 1937, the captain of the freighter OM McFarland, George R. Donner, went to rest in his cabin after several hours of sailing his team through icy water. When the ship was approaching its destination in Port Washington, Wisconsin, one of the crew members went to wake him up. The captain was not in the cabin, which was locked from the inside. Since then, Donner has never been seen again.

The disappearance of Northwest Airlines Flight 2501

Theories related to UFOs and aliens wandering in the sky over the triangle of Lake Michigan arose after the mysterious disappearance of Northwest Airlines Flight 2501. On June 23, 1950, the plane was flying from New York to Seattle with a stop in Minneapolis. On the way over Lake Michigan, he seemed to simply disappear into thin air.

At 23: 37 that day, the pilot of this aircraft requested a descent from 3,500 to 2,500 feet due to an impending thunderstorm. The request was rejected, and just a few minutes later the board disappeared from the radar altogether. Despite massive search efforts, nothing was found except one blanket with the Northwest Airlines logo. Everyone thought that the plane had sunk in the waters of the lake.

As the days passed, some small details washed up on the shore. The board itself never rose to the surface. According to two police officers who were near the scene, two hours after the plane disappeared, there was a strange red glow over the water. This gave rise to rumors that the board with passengers was abducted by aliens. So far, this mysterious disappearance has not been explained.

The missing skier

Stephen Kubaki was a 23-year-old student at Hope College in Holland, Michigan. On February 20, 1978, he disappeared without a trace while skiing near Saugatuck, Michigan. The next day, snowmobiles found all his equipment abandoned. From the skier himself, only traces on the ice remained. They ended abruptly. This suggested that Kubaki had fallen through the ice and died either from hypothermia or from drowning.

This was not something so mysterious and inexplicable until May 5, 1979. On this day, Kubaki suddenly appeared in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. The student found himself lying on the grass, more than a thousand kilometers from Lake Michigan. Fifteen months after he seemed to have perished in its icy depths.

Kubaki told reporters that he does not remember anything at all for the past year and a half. When he woke up, he was wearing strange clothes, and there were some maps in his backpack. This made the student believe that he was traveling. He also had a T-shirt from the Wisconsin marathon. Kubaki stated: "I feel like I've been running a lot."

The place of the young man's disappearance led many to assume that he was the next victim of the Lake Michigan triangle. At the same time, there are also those who believe that he is lying about his alleged amnesia. Others prefer to believe that the reason for Kubaki's disappearance and memory loss are the result of his abduction by aliens.

Own Stonehenge at the bottom of Lake Michigan

Why is the Lake Michigan triangle such a powerful force? A popular theory about the mystical origin includes its own underwater Stonehenge. It was opened in 2007 by Mark Holley, a professor at Northwestern Michigan College.

According to Holly, he and his team, during the study of sunken ships, at a depth of twelve meters, discovered an unknown rock of strange shapes. It is incredibly similar to the famous structure found in England. The only exception is a boulder standing alone in the distance.

Many experts are skeptical about the discovery. Holly himself admits that additional research is needed to confirm his theory. The exact location of the mysterious underwater formation has not been disclosed due to ongoing scientific research and out of respect for the nearby Grand Traverse Bay Native American community.

Given the mythology and supposed paranormal aspects of the English Stonehenge, many assume that the one under Lake Michigan has similar properties. Could this be an explanation for the strange events inside the Triangle, or is there a rational scientific solution?...
