19. The Lake Michigan Triangle

Badger Bizarre

Scott and Mickey discuss the legend of the Lake Michigan Triangle, a section in the Great Lake that has been the site of many mysterious disappearances of ships, planes, and people for centuries.

Generally defined as an area between Ludington, MI, Benton Harbor, MI, and Manitowoc WI, since the middle of the 19th century, countless strange events have occurred in this region of Lake Michigan, leading to the growth of the legend, and leaving researchers searching for answers. Disappearing ships, downed planes, UFOs, and people who have seemingly vanished off the face of the earth have only added to the intrique of one of the most treacherous portions of open water in the world.

In the opening banter, we touch on the murder conviction of former Wisconsin Badger Marcus Randle El, and a sad end to the 38-year-old Portage County cold case of former UW-SP student, Janet Raasch.
