It's a solo Captain Michelle episode today and to quote the great Geo Rutherford, um, yes hello, it's spooky lake month! Welcome to October and with it comes all of the spookies, the ponderings, the alleged-ness of the Lakes (not that we don't do that normally), but we're spreading it on extra thick this month and today we're bringing you the Lake Michigan Sea Serpent. Friend or foe? Relation to South Bay Bessie? Was/is this something you should be concerned about or is the Lake Ness monster just a passing fad chalked up to an escape seal... or sea lion... or.... octopus? Who's making these guesses??

104 - The Sixth Great Lake
This week's episode is a bit rough as Andrew and Michelle cover potentially the worst wreck in Georgian Bay and perhaps Lake Huron itself - the SS Asia. The kicker? Sources then and sources today still can't agree on all of the facts about this wreck that has eluded shipwreck hunters for 144 years. And hey, if you don't like dark stories, we get it and we'll catch you next time! <3

103 - Seagull Eggs + Horse Sense
Remember the island that was divided up between Ohio and Michigan? Yeah, Michelle and Andrew are talking about it, the lore behind it's name, and of course, it's lighthouse - the Turtle Island Light. Tune in for a crazy time in history full of wars, treaties, broken promises, shrinking lands, and just missing good old fashioned horse sense!
