The Great Lakes Triangle has claimed roughly six thousand ships and hundreds of planes, and Nathan Radke explains why the losses feel supernatural even when they are not. His book Uncover Up spent a decade tracing how ordinary people get talked into extraordinary beliefs.

This episode follows his own trip into the vortex, out to isolated Main Duck Island, home to an old lighthouse and oversized, cannibalistic snakes. It also revisits the 1889 disappearance of the schooner Bavaria's crew, found missing from an undamaged ship with fresh bread still in the oven and a canary singing alone.

It traces the region's vanishing planes and ghost ships back to atmospheric optics, an ancient meteor's magnetic pull, and weather violent enough to sink freighters and bury cars in snow, building a case for natural forces over portals, monsters, or ghosts.

Topics: Great Lakes Triangle, Main Duck Island, Bermuda Triangle, ghost ships, shipwrecks
