The Terrible Triangle

Lake Michigan has its very own Bermuda Triangle, where strange activity has occurred for over 120 years. From shipwrecks to plane crashes, and even UFO sightings, this triangle leaves no trace of evidence when it comes to these disappearances.

The first of the Lake Michigan Triangle’s victims was Thomas Hume in 1891. His vessel was lost at sea after a successful lumber haul, but no driftwood washed up on shore after the disappearance.

The triangle stretches from Ludington to Benton Harbor, Michigan and to Manitowoc, Wisconsin. So you may want to avoid that area, that is, if you’re superstitious.
