Read a book 40 years ago by a professor at Michigan Tech speculating that Egyptians mined the copper. Something distinctive in UP copper was found in Egyptian bronze.
My husband and I heard about the Dinosaur Gardens back in 2016 while visiting Tawas and Oscoda. We took our daughter (then 6 yrs old) and our niece and nephew. We had a great time. They have added mini golf, a fossil dig and rock, and gem stone slucing. They have also added sound throughout the trail. We go every summer while vacationing up north.
😂😂😂 I've lived in the Tawas and oscoda area most of my life and I've never heard of the dinosaur garden!! 🤣🤣 I have to check this out now! Thanks for the tip!! Haha!
I remember when I was younger that they said on the news that the tremors were an after effect of Michigan's ice age. Because the weight of the glaciers compressed the land, it slowly decompresses over the course of hundreds of years, occasionally making a relatively quick jump accompanied by a vibration or tremor.
This is what I immediately thought! “Post-glacial rebound”, I think is the term if anyone wants to look up an even more in-depth explanation. It does sound a little wild but, I mean, so is the earth!
@@vickiehadd4324no. Post ice age rebound is a thing and we’re still experiencing it. The ice age was just 10k years ago. A blink of the eye geologically. There were Mike think glaciers. Do you think the earth just springs back in a day. after such weight is tenure.
I'm from Midland and it shook my bed and woke me up. I thought it was my dog jumping off my bed, but then I realized my dog was still sleeping next to me. I looked at the clock, it was around 12:30-ish (if memory serves). I thought to myself, that was spooky, I wonder if I just felt a tremor/quake. My mom told me later that sometime after noon an earthquake hit southern Michigan. I knew then that's exactly what I had felt.
@ Yeah I felt like they played in our faces lol… I’ve been a lion fan since I was a little girl .. I really thought this was our year … maybe next year
The copper mostly went to Europe - there was a huge trade with the vikings who made their way to north america. There have been multiple burial sites around northern europe that have traced the copper back to the Lake Superior area.
I've heard the viking thing. There's even been speculation lake superior copper was a huge contributor to the bronze age in Europe. However they've been mining copper in Wales since about the same time. My question is how they got that estimate of 1.2b lbs. While it's true all or 90% of lake superior copper is native with the other percentage being secondary minerals like malachite, with there being just a bunch of small surface pits, plus the inconsistency in native copper veins I'd like to know how that # was reached.
Another couple things I'd like to add. Even though you are skipping refining/and or smelting by pulling native copper out of the ground, it's very difficult to break smaller pieces off large copper chunks. It's so malleable it just absorbs most of the energy. There's stories from the quincy mine of miners using large amounts of explosives to break 1 ton or bigger only to find all they've done is slightly deformed the copper. It's why the calumet hecla mine was so successful for so long. I forget the name but the deposit was small bbs of copper spread out evenly in the rock. So you could mine it much like coal. Blast the ore, break it into smaller pieces, load in a cart and send to the surface. If you don't believe me take a small piece of copper tubing and try to cut it in half by using the wedge side of a sledge hammer. You can apply vastly more force than a piece of flint or granite tied to a stick like the natives had and it will still be difficult. Next problem is there were no beasts of burden except dogs before European settlers. Moose and elk were just to Ill tempered. Before the wheel all a dog could do was pull a skid/sled. Which would only work in winter. Which is a brutal season up there. When you think about the logistics there's just a lot of hurdles. Plus how did the vikings get there? You can't just sail down the st Lawrence all the way to superior. You've got Niagara falls, then the rapids small falls at sault st Marie. Back in the day it required taking apart the ship, portaging above falls or rapids, then rebuilding on the other side. So to reach keewenaw and go back that's 4 portages. That's why Europeans setup forts at these locations. So cargo could just be off loaded at one side, put on a ship on another side, then complete the voyage. Idk I kinda of rambled on here. All I'm saying as with most things that long ago when we have questions we more often than not find more questions long before we find answers.
Gosh, you’re exhausting. All I know is that my family has a cabin in Copper Harbor - my husband (passed in 2015) owned one near Gladstone/Escanaba and we’ve not leased mining rights to aliens.
As a former resident of Michigan (and soon to be again), I distinctly remember an Earth tremor in the 70s!!! We were all aghast and looked at each other like, "Wha???"
On the Keeweenaw Copper: It's long been known that there were extensive trade networks throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. In North America during historic times, Native Americans held trade fairs where tribes from various regions would gather for days of trading. There were a number of these fairs in different regions, so if you picked up a whole bunch of obsidian from what's now Washington State, you could take it to a different trade fair and exchange it for Michigan copper, which you would then trade at yet another trade fair. A lot of goods made it throughout the Americas this way. Europe isn't really that far from the Americas if you go by way of island hopping through the Aleutians. You might even say the Russians discovered America thousands of years ago, because they've had contact for that long.
I grew up in Edison’s hometown, and thanks to Ford, we have a museum near Detroit, bringing many historical sites. One side of the state is flat, while the other has mountains and the Upper Peninsula, which is actually a rainforest.
Owned a cabin outside of Perkins - never witnessed a “rainforest” from Perkins to Gladstone - so what are you talking about? I’ve been up the Escanaba River from Perkins to Marquette; how about you?
I’m from the Illinois side, I know Lake Michigan has its own strange happenings. This is so cool to find out. Always loved the state of Michigan and the paranormal so your site is amazing! Thanks for the comment and your hard work. 😃💚
I grew up in Alma during the 70's & 80's. I remember the tremors quite frequently. And, as another poster stated, we were told that they were after effects from the land springing back after the last ice age.
My brother and i a couple years ago around midnight going fishing on lake Huron in Oscoda seen some UAP's (orbs) defying gravity in the sky. We crapped our pants and couldn't believe what we saw. It was the most unreal thing we've ever seen. The hair on my back still rises and get goose bumbs when i think about it like I am now. These orbs chased each other like tag. Stopping in "gravity" and making insane turns chasing each other. Super wild! Glad i have a witness. When ever we tell the story, we have to call one another for confirmation. 🤣🤣 Yep.... I seen exactly what he saw!!
Alpena has a shipwreck museum. I've never met so many people who were so proud of all the shipwrecks just off their shore. So who were the first settlers of Alpena? Apparently all the best swimmers. 😂😂😂
It's because everyone who lives there knows or works on a freighter. It's a VERY close knit community. We watch our friends and family go out on those big ships and some won't be coming back and we know it. Heck, I watched a seasoned veteran get his arm ripped off by the conveyor belt one year.
Thunder Bay lives up to its name. It's shallow and when the waves come into the shallow bay they have nowhere to go but up. I've been on the bay10 miles out when a storm hit. The waves go from 2 foot to 10 foot within minutes. Not for the weak. I'll never forget that fishing trip. One main reason why there's so many wrecks in Alpena.
I've been to Gravity Hill- weird! I've seen the glowing lights in Lake Michigan. I'm a born and raised Michigander. I like the weird stuff. I felt a few of the 'quakes' as a kid in grade school in the 80s.
In 2014 or 2015, we felt a tremor at our apartment in South East Michigan near the Detroit river. Come to find out, Canada had an earth quake, and we felt it here in Michigan. It was crazy. My boyfriend and I just looked at each other weird.
Quakes in Michigan? How fascinating! Yes, I have been asking around to some universities and geologists about the mini tremors I have been feeling in NW Van Buren County. Being that there are many small inland lakes around AND I live on sandy soil. It concerns me as that "might" be signs of the soil shifting beneath & maybe sinkholes. After watching videos of parts of Florida dealing with sinkholes. Stange sounds - thunder with no thunderstorm in the area? Yep, I heard them too down here in SW Lower MI. Being from Western Upper Michigan, thunderous sounds came from old mine shafts caving in. My father was a miner for the White Pine Copper Mine for +15 years until the early 1980's, used to work from the SW mine shaft that was only some 2,000 feet below the surface. Cave-ins occur often at those depths. I remember seeing a shadow of a 2-man hand saw raking back & forth in the moonlight casting on my mother's stove in the kitchen. Was it a ghost of a lumberjack letting me know he lost his life to the trade many years ago? You didn't mention anything about the Paulding lights in Upper Michigan. My grandparent's home in Rockland MI had its share of strange things happening. From glowing copper pipes during a thunderstorm to a lightning ball bouncing through the attic. This mobile home I have been living in for nearly 20 years has been struck by lightning three times while I was here. Maybe more since it was put here in 1997. Owner tells me lightning blew out a security light that used to be on the electric meter pole as well, putting that number to 4 times.
The quakes are from isostatic rebound. During the last ice age the weight of the ice pushed the crust deeper into the mantle and it is basically floating back up slowly.
There was a quake here in Lansing in the mid 90s, too. I was on the phone with my girlfriend who was living in the dorms at MSU at the time. She was on the 4th floor of her dorm and didn't feel a thing.
The copper mines were covered in that show, "unearthing america." If memory serves they showed a european coin that shows eastern north america on it from a time before we supposedly even knew about the Americas. And the question was, were they here mining the copper? I think they were. The "cocaine mummy," is ramses (tuts great grandfather I think) and was found to have cocaine and nicotine in his tissues. Those only come from the Americas so how did ramses, from egypt, get that stuff in his system 4,000 years ago? Hmmmm
In 1983 I was doing my clinical training for my EMT certification at GVSU in Grand Rapids. While getting the instructions for going to a burn unit the window blinds started to rattle, pens and pencils rolled across the instructor's desk and door alarms went off. The 11 p.m.. news reported that it was a "mild" tremor.
There was a Samoan ship that had sunk and when it was recovered, it was full of copper from the UP. It was found near Greece somewhere. The copper was proven to match Michigan copper.
@@jimjimsauce Scott Walder used to do a show discovering America. Not sure if that was the name of it. He found more info in America on the Knights Templar so he focused on them. He went to Paradise Michigan and got samples of the copper and matched it to what was found on the old sunken ship. Sorry I don't remember every exact detail, but it's true even if some of you don't want to believe it. Have a great day!
@ yes, it was a long time ago, I didn’t experience the effect. It seems to me my father started at the top of the hill and put the car in neutral. My mom and her family grew up in Frankfort, not to far from gravity hill.
I was in St Joe/Benton Harbor one night in 2009 2010, under the watersof lake Michigan lights started lighting up under the water big as a city many lights freaked me tf out
Have you ever heard about the "boiling" of the bay (Grand Traverse Bay, I think west)? I remember hearing a story about it once on "The Haunting of Traverse City" which was done by a radio station up here every year. Story goes something like every year around the same time the bay would "boil" until one year in the middle of the night mysterious ships were seen near where the "boiling" happened. The ships were gone in the morning but it never happened afterward. More research is probably needed to make it a proper story but that's all I remember about it, it was years and years and years ago that I heard it.
These are amazing and you explain things so well! Michigan is awesome. With the Lake Michigan lights, all I can think about where the hundreds of people, including officials and police, witnessing all the UFOs that night in 1994.
Brief earthquake while i was in a 2nd story classroom at my high school in a Detroit suburb. This was 1985 or 1986. It was a steel beamed building and we could hear the structure groaning as our rows of desks shifted front to back. Lasted maybe 7 seconds tops. Thought it was someone pushing my desk from behind . Teacher in that room said it was all of our collective brain power, as we were all silently reading at the time. lol
It was 1987. I was on a school bus returning to Port Huron from Boblo Island. Everyone thought we hit a super bumpy patch on I-94 because we were bouncing off our seats. The bus driver did not confirm, which I thought was strange. Then when we got back to the school, family who were picking us up asked if we felt the earthquake.
I live near the Dinosaur Gardens in Ossineke and have been there a few times and driven by there hundreds of times, trust me, nothing special except maybe the history.
I have visited the Garden back in the early 80s but my favorite place in there is the restaurant called Connies the 45th parallel very nice country I live south of this area near Flint.
Old time tourist trap. We had The Underground Forest, Animal Land in Crawford County. Cool as hell when you were 6 in the 1950s. The Underground Forest is actually still around in Gaylord, called The Call of the Wild now. Sea Sjell City was another one thats still right off I-75 by Indian River. It only has any meaning if it was the thrill of the month for you when you were a kid. Actually kinda sad that kids aren't kids like they used to be, all tech crap and such.
Good stuff, grew up and live in west Michigan. The tremmors are interesting because I've experienced them when I was a kid, back then I lived outside working, hunting, fishing ect.., I recall mentioning it to a friend once and he experienced something's similar, but I never really heard anyone else talk about it. I'm 50 so I've been around for a minute..
58 from Kalamazoo and I recall tremors when I was young. Also had foundation damage and broken glass from the 2015 quake. That scared the crap out of me. I was home alone at the time. 😅
What you're saying about the copper in Michigan doesn't surprise me. I remember as a little girl growing up in Michigan during the '60s and '70s that there was a lot of copper jewelry to be found almost everywhere, and this was not copper mixed with other metals, this was pure copper jewelry which is considered 99.9% copper. Most of my jewelry back then was copper, and I loved it! Yes, there is an ancient fault line in Michigan, but that is not all there is. Most people won't believe this but there's actually five baby volcanoes in the state of Michigan. They're so far below the ground that even their tiny calderas can't be seen. I myself have also heard very loud unexplainable noises in Michigan. I wonder what they are.
I was at home in Wayland, 45 minutes north of Galesburg, when that quake hit. I was changing after work and thought I was finally cracking and losing my mind. The blinds were swinging back and forth, and I was absolutely dumbfounded as to why.
I have felt the ground shake and the weird pressure change because of the ground shifting while I was out in the woods walking looking for mushrooms it's actually happened to me a few times especially When I was a kid I remember one time being out there and almost felt like I was hit with a shockwave nothing violent but it was just like a whomping sound but you could feel it as well that's happened a couple times and don't even get me started with the things that are out in the woods the disappearing Church of Hoosier Valley here in Traverse City MI bowers Harbor Inn is haunted the haunted tunnels underneath Traverse City the haunted state hospital the weird shipwrecks in our bays and around Lake Michigan it's a beautiful and spooky place
@@Captainscentsable44 hi, I was -28 last week and -25, that was the coldest so far, today it was -1, below 0 temps are hard for me because i can't be outside as long as i would like.
back around 2003 (can't remember the specifics of so long ago) while living around port huron, i do remember it felt like the entire earth jumped under my feet. it wasn't drawn out or anything, just a sudden feeling of shifting and then it was over
You forgot about the earthquake just south of Windsor it was 3.6 I believe. I heard it and my wife asked me what it was and I told her it was an earthquake. She thought I was nuts until it came on the news.
I have felt two small earthquakes in Michigan . I have lived here all of my life . The last one I felt . I could also hear the rumble from it . I was inside my house ,my husband was outside . I asked him if he heard or felt anything and he said, no . The news later said that most people said the same thing about whether the felt it or not .
5:26 not news gravity hill is a place where the surrounding landscape creates an optical illusion that makes a slight downhill slope appear to be uphill. This illusion can make it seem like a car left in neutral will roll uphill.
The Dinosaur garden is a cool place to visit. I live just down the road and my friend's uncle built it. Awesome. As far as Thunder Bay, I can personally tell you that the shallow water makes waves triple in size when they hit the shallow bay. Another reason why so many wrecks happen here. Yes, you pronounced Ossineke the wrong way. Don't be offended. All the telemarketers do. Oss IN EKE
Thank you for the copper mine info. 40 yrs ago my teen sons were in the UP at the university there for a summer college experience. A prof there had written about the PHOENICIAN, or "water peoples" from ancient history, mining copper here in MI. There were photos of huge round balls of carved rock, dwarfing men, that were discovered at the sites of ancient copper mines. ( late 1800's) I've read many books since then, about activities in the UP from ancient peoples. SO much proof has been destroyed that the truth is difficult to differentiate from myth. BUT, time has proven that myth IS based on forgotten knowledge.🤔
I was in a packed vet clinic a couple miles from the epicenter. Just before it hit the out of control waiting room got deathly silent. Dog crawled under chairs and into doorways. Cats hid in carriers. The there was a massive roar, and the entire building shook. People started screaming - think a plane had gone down outside. But the shaking movement was up and down and in a wave motion. Having grown up in northern Wyoming not far from Yellowstone, I knew it was an earthquake. I shouted "earthquake! About a 5.2!" A first responder raced to his truck and got on his radio. He came back in and said, "Earthquake, 5.2!! I smiled, and said, " just a small one." Later it was downgrade to just below that. But I still stand by 5.2.
Has anybody ever heard the story about how Thunder Bay got it's name? Something about a large shift in the earth and a loud noise. I heard the story once, a long time ago. I have no idea where the story came from or if it's true.
Been there, did the baby powder. It's cool, but it's a little hill on a bigger hill. And yes the baby powder does leave hand prints on your bumper, but it's just the powder sticking to the places hands have touched it and left oil from their hands.
I've lived in Michigan my whole life in Macomb county near Detroit, in 1989 in 6th grade we had a tremor rattle the whole elementary school and surrounding area...it never was explained what caused it..
I was in the kitchen in Hamilton and I thought the farmer, who was plowing the field across from my house, pulled up in my driveway! I ran to the window and he was way across the field! Then I saw my dogs running in the yard! It rattled the dog gate latch open!
Lived here my whole life, man didn’t know any of these lol I was born in the mid 60’s so didn’t have the internet to grow up with and it’s cool learning these things! Appreciate the videos!!
I live in Ossineke,on the lake within a mile of Dinosaur gardens. Dinosaur Gardens isnt anything mysterious, the weird stuff on the lake, the sonic booms , those are weird.
My daughter worked at Dinosaur Gardens in 2023 with the new owners. They are making amazing improvements and it’s always packed. They even host parties in the summer.
*The weirdest thing is how Jocelyn Benson, the down ballot Secretary of State candidate, received more votes than both Gubernatorial candidates in 2022, getting about 70k more votes than Whitmer*
Hmm one strong candidates with little opposition gets more votes than 2 opposing candidates in another race. Sounds like the people really wanted jocylyn bensen. Nothing unusual.
@ronaldarchibald2506 *And 81 million of them really wanted Joe Biden in 2020 too.* *The only thing more ridiculous than believing that Biden got 12 million more votes in 2020, than Obama got in 2008; Is believing that Kamala got 6 million more than him in 2024!* *Also ironic that voter "turnout" in 2020 was up exactly 66.6% during a "pandemic" but that's neither here nor there*
Even stranger still is how Covid affected all MI residents EXCEPT Gov. Whitmer and her family, who were apparently so immune that they were all able to gather for a big family Easter dinner while the rest of the state was under tyrannical dystopian lockdown.
I've been in ossineke before and visited the dinosaurs with my children and as an avid fisherman of lake Michigan I have also seen the green lights and let me tell you it will touch you in your soul
In the Irish Hills of Michigan (located in the SE part of Jackson County, and the NW part of Lenawee County) at one time there was a place called Prehistoric Forst that had cement dinosaurs, I don't remember if you walked or drove through it. Just a little east of there was Mystery Hill where a ball would roll up a floor and water would run up the stream. There was Stagecoach Stop, the Twin Towers, Dwight D Eisenhower Presidential Railroad Car, and it seems to me there were others too. Some of these attractions were taken down and replaced with other attractions that have now gone defunct!
Lake Michigan changes the direction of its current every 6-7 years. That is why bodiy show up years later from Chicago in SW Mi and from Michigan in Chicago area beaches.
I was living in Mattawan when the 2015 quake happened. It was loud! I thought it was maybe some earth moving equipment coming down the street. Nope! Earthquake. I lived in Alaska and had small quakes there. It was surreal to experience one in Michigan of all places.
Back in the late 90s I worked in one of the big office towers in Troy,MI. One Friday afternoon, the place started shaking and rumbling... just enough to be noticable. At first I thought it was from all the people wandering around yakking about their weekend plans, or maybe a big load passing by on newrby I-75. I found out later it was an earthquake, acording to the TV news.. who spent the time interviweing folks whose Elvis collector plates had fallen off the wall. :-)
I live near Grayling where the military base is. Every summer we hear and feel booms from them doing bombing exercise or something like that. The shaking rattles dishes sometimes but you definitely wouldn't mistake it for an earthquake......at least if you live here you wouldn't.
How about Paulding light in Paulding? It's freaky to see it across the ridge. If you go towards the light, it vanishes while the people on the other ridge see it moving around you. Freaky.
I grew up in oss-in-eke, loved going to the Gardens. Domke also built Paul Bunyan Lookout. It was my first job. Got some other interesting tidbits for you.
michigan does have earthquakes. i moved to kalamazoo in 1992 and there have been 3 there since then. the last one was the strongest. i felt them very clearly.( it's ossineke-----last part sounds like neek.)
@@JamesFoster-z9s the copper that comes from the keweenaw peninsula in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is very unique compared to all other copper in the world it has a high degree of silver in it. This is one thing that still hasn’t been proven there has been copper found on ship wrecks dating back to that time period but the copper make up doesn’t match that of Michigan copper. Here is proof it was traded in the Americas at the North Dakota state capitol museum they have items that where traded at a site that was abandoned quickly. They found Michigan copper, knifes from the local area and materials from north and South America.
I've read scientific theories that the earthquakes and shaking in Michigan are caused by the rebounding of the crust after the Laurentide sheet retreated after the last ice age. The glacier weighed so much that it caused a massive depression in the Earth's crust.
Wow!! Your video is interesting. I've lived in Kalamazoo MI. all of my life . I've been all over the state and especially love the UP. The only thing that I can remember is waking up with my bed shaking. Scared the bejeebers out of me. Lol. I had no clue that Michigan had such odd things that happen. I truly believe in this vast universe there are so many things that we don't know about. I particular don't like Kalamazoo but the UP is gorgeous and that Michigan is a beautiful state! Thanks for sharing!
We have had a family lake cottage in Manistee since I was a kid and my grandparents and mother used to live there. I have never heard of gravity hill. If that is where it is located as you didn't say.
It's there. Just an optical illusion. I've been there with a level, and your car will definitely roll down a slope. It just looks like you're going up. It's fun, but not mysterious.
There are different spots around the country that have similar spots to "Gravity Hill" and all have been debunked as a trick of the landscape to the eyes. They all have similar stories too of some school bus that crashed near the spot and it's the ghosts of kids pushing you away from danger. The fingerprints in the powder are just yours and anyone else who opens and closes your trunk. If you specifically clean that area of the car, you'll notice you won't get fingerprints when you try the powder. You can even use laser levels to debunk the "slope."
3:23 The 2015 earthquake was crazy. I was in a restaurant in Kzoo when it happened, we were all confused thought it was a train too close, until someone announced from their phone it was an earthquake

This copper mining operation in the UP just shows how limited our written history is.
Phoenician Venitians…..Farnese. Tyre.
Exported Canada and Europe, I'm sure. Shipping has been around longer than what's told as history.
Older European scientists liked to think older indigenous civilizations were incapable of what they could do.
Yes, copper mining....7000 years ago.....🤨
Yep Michigan's UP copper was so good that it was a major source for the bronze age for a time.
I remember when I was younger that they said on the news that the tremors were an after effect of Michigan's ice age. Because the weight of the glaciers compressed the land, it slowly decompresses over the course of hundreds of years, occasionally making a relatively quick jump accompanied by a vibration or tremor.
They’re just throwing it out there because THEY don’t know either lol.
I’ve lived in Michigan my entire life and never felt ground shaking.
Born in 1967 in Calhoun County - never been an earthquake in my life time 🤞🏻

The 2015 earthquake near Kalamazoo was surprising. I live on the Lapeer County Genesee County border 140 miles away, and it rattled my walls.
My 1st thought was we were being bombed!😂 (Vicksburg)
I'm from Midland and it shook my bed and woke me up. I thought it was my dog jumping off my bed, but then I realized my dog was still sleeping next to me. I looked at the clock, it was around 12:30-ish (if memory serves). I thought to myself, that was spooky, I wonder if I just felt a tremor/quake. My mom told me later that sometime after noon an earthquake hit southern Michigan. I knew then that's exactly what I had felt.
Military has been destroying underground tunnels globally, used by traff1ck3rs.

The copper mostly went to Europe - there was a huge trade with the vikings who made their way to north america. There have been multiple burial sites around northern europe that have traced the copper back to the Lake Superior area.
The mining predates the vikings by a few thousand years.

However they've been mining copper in Wales since about the same time. My question is how they got that estimate of 1.2b lbs. While it's true all or 90% of lake superior copper is native with the other percentage being secondary minerals like malachite, with there being just a bunch of small surface pits, plus the inconsistency in native copper veins I'd like to know how that # was reached.
Another couple things I'd like to add. Even though you are skipping refining/and or smelting by pulling native copper out of the ground, it's very difficult to break smaller pieces off large copper chunks. It's so malleable it just absorbs most of the energy. There's stories from the quincy mine of miners using large amounts of explosives to break 1 ton or bigger only to find all they've done is slightly deformed the copper. It's why the calumet hecla mine was so successful for so long. I forget the name but the deposit was small bbs of copper spread out evenly in the rock. So you could mine it much like coal. Blast the ore, break it into smaller pieces, load in a cart and send to the surface. If you don't believe me take a small piece of copper tubing and try to cut it in half by using the wedge side of a sledge hammer. You can apply vastly more force than a piece of flint or granite tied to a stick like the natives had and it will still be difficult. Next problem is there were no beasts of burden except dogs before European settlers. Moose and elk were just to Ill tempered. Before the wheel all a dog could do was pull a skid/sled. Which would only work in winter. Which is a brutal season up there. When you think about the logistics there's just a lot of hurdles. Plus how did the vikings get there? You can't just sail down the st Lawrence all the way to superior. You've got Niagara falls, then the rapids small falls at sault st Marie. Back in the day it required taking apart the ship, portaging above falls or rapids, then rebuilding on the other side. So to reach keewenaw and go back that's 4 portages. That's why Europeans setup forts at these locations. So cargo could just be off loaded at one side, put on a ship on another side, then complete the voyage. Idk I kinda of rambled on here. All I'm saying as with most things that long ago when we have questions we more often than not find more questions long before we find answers.
Gosh, you’re exhausting. All I know is that my family has a cabin in Copper Harbor - my husband (passed in 2015) owned one near Gladstone/Escanaba and we’ve not leased mining rights to aliens.
@@dime_nailnot only that but viking activity in NA was sparse. only 3 or so attempted settlements that were only as far south as nova scotia
As a former resident of Michigan (and soon to be again), I distinctly remember an Earth tremor in the 70s!!! We were all aghast and looked at each other like, "Wha???"
As a life-long resident of Michigan, I can honestly say that I have only heard of one of these places, wow!!
On the Keeweenaw Copper:
It's long been known that there were extensive trade networks throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. In North America during historic times, Native Americans held trade fairs where tribes from various regions would gather for days of trading. There were a number of these fairs in different regions, so if you picked up a whole bunch of obsidian from what's now Washington State, you could take it to a different trade fair and exchange it for Michigan copper, which you would then trade at yet another trade fair. A lot of goods made it throughout the Americas this way. Europe isn't really that far from the Americas if you go by way of island hopping through the Aleutians. You might even say the Russians discovered America thousands of years ago, because they've had contact for that long.
I grew up in Edison’s hometown, and thanks to Ford, we have a museum near Detroit, bringing many historical sites. One side of the state is flat, while the other has mountains and the Upper Peninsula, which is actually a rainforest.
Owned a cabin outside of Perkins - never witnessed a “rainforest” from Perkins to Gladstone - so what are you talking about?
I’ve been up the Escanaba River from Perkins to Marquette; how about you?
@@Jewlietooso cocky holy hell your what’s wrong with humans ! Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion
I’m from the Illinois side, I know Lake Michigan has its own strange happenings. This is so cool to find out. Always loved the state of Michigan and the paranormal so your site is amazing! Thanks for the comment and your hard work. 😃💚
Thanks for watching!
I grew up in Alma during the 70's & 80's. I remember the tremors quite frequently. And, as another poster stated, we were told that they were after effects from the land springing back after the last ice age.
My brother and i a couple years ago around midnight going fishing on lake Huron in Oscoda seen some UAP's (orbs) defying gravity in the sky. We crapped our pants and couldn't believe what we saw. It was the most unreal thing we've ever seen. The hair on my back still rises and get goose bumbs when i think about it like I am now. These orbs chased each other like tag. Stopping in "gravity" and making insane turns chasing each other. Super wild! Glad i have a witness. When ever we tell the story, we have to call one another for confirmation. 🤣🤣 Yep.... I seen exactly what he saw!!
I'll tell you where the copper went. The signature of the copper matches with copper found with the Phoenicians.
I agree with you.
Alpena has a shipwreck museum.
I've never met so many people who were so proud of all the shipwrecks just off their shore.
So who were the first settlers of Alpena?
Apparently all the best swimmers.
😂😂😂
Now thats funny! 😝 (From what I've been told, my family was early farmers in Alpena. Also, my great-grandmas family settled Barryton).
It's because everyone who lives there knows or works on a freighter. It's a VERY close knit community. We watch our friends and family go out on those big ships and some won't be coming back and we know it. Heck, I watched a seasoned veteran get his arm ripped off by the conveyor belt one year.
Thunder Bay lives up to its name. It's shallow and when the waves come into the shallow bay they have nowhere to go but up. I've been on the bay10 miles out when a storm hit. The waves go from 2 foot to 10 foot within minutes. Not for the weak. I'll never forget that fishing trip. One main reason why there's so many wrecks in Alpena.
@@celowski6296 most are from the 1913 storm
I've been to Gravity Hill- weird! I've seen the glowing lights in Lake Michigan.
I'm a born and raised Michigander. I like the weird stuff. I felt a few of the 'quakes' as a kid in grade school in the 80s.
In 2014 or 2015, we felt a tremor at our apartment in South East Michigan near the Detroit river. Come to find out, Canada had an earth quake, and we felt it here in Michigan. It was crazy. My boyfriend and I just looked at each other weird.
That IS crazy! I didn't know earthquakes don't honor international borders.
Quakes in Michigan? How fascinating! Yes, I have been asking around to some universities and geologists about the mini tremors I have been feeling in NW Van Buren County. Being that there are many small inland lakes around AND I live on sandy soil. It concerns me as that "might" be signs of the soil shifting beneath & maybe sinkholes. After watching videos of parts of Florida dealing with sinkholes.
Stange sounds - thunder with no thunderstorm in the area? Yep, I heard them too down here in SW Lower MI. Being from Western Upper Michigan, thunderous sounds came from old mine shafts caving in. My father was a miner for the White Pine Copper Mine for +15 years until the early 1980's, used to work from the SW mine shaft that was only some 2,000 feet below the surface. Cave-ins occur often at those depths.
I remember seeing a shadow of a 2-man hand saw raking back & forth in the moonlight casting on my mother's stove in the kitchen. Was it a ghost of a lumberjack letting me know he lost his life to the trade many years ago?
You didn't mention anything about the Paulding lights in Upper Michigan.
My grandparent's home in Rockland MI had its share of strange things happening. From glowing copper pipes during a thunderstorm to a lightning ball bouncing through the attic.
This mobile home I have been living in for nearly 20 years has been struck by lightning three times while I was here. Maybe more since it was put here in 1997. Owner tells me lightning blew out a security light that used to be on the electric meter pole as well, putting that number to 4 times.
The quakes are from isostatic rebound. During the last ice age the weight of the ice pushed the crust deeper into the mantle and it is basically floating back up slowly.
There was a quake here in Lansing in the mid 90s, too. I was on the phone with my girlfriend who was living in the dorms at MSU at the time. She was on the 4th floor of her dorm and didn't feel a thing.
In CadillacMichigan we have a canal between lake Cadillac and lake Mitchell the canal freezes first than when the lakes freezes the canal thaws out
I grew up In Upper Michigan for awhile and there are some Very Weird things up there
Such as?
@@SC-gp7kt Bigfoot.
The copper mines were covered in that show, "unearthing america." If memory serves they showed a european coin that shows eastern north america on it from a time before we supposedly even knew about the Americas. And the question was, were they here mining the copper?
I think they were. The "cocaine mummy," is ramses (tuts great grandfather I think) and was found to have cocaine and nicotine in his tissues. Those only come from the Americas so how did ramses, from egypt, get that stuff in his system 4,000 years ago? Hmmmm
In 1983 I was doing my clinical training for my EMT certification at GVSU in Grand Rapids. While getting the instructions for going to a burn unit the window blinds started to rattle, pens and pencils rolled across the instructor's desk and door alarms went off. The 11 p.m.. news reported that it was a "mild" tremor.
There was a Samoan ship that had sunk and when it was recovered, it was full of copper from the UP. It was found near Greece somewhere. The copper was proven to match Michigan copper.
Not true
Do you mean Minoan? (Samoan)
source?
Fake
@@jimjimsauce Scott Walder used to do a show discovering America. Not sure if that was the name of it. He found more info in America on the Knights Templar so he focused on them. He went to Paradise Michigan and got samples of the copper and matched it to what was found on the old sunken ship. Sorry I don't remember every exact detail, but it's true even if some of you don't want to believe it. Have a great day!
We always called gravity hill the mystery spot, the name was on a game board of Michiganopoly.
Have you made a visit?
@ yes, it was a long time ago, I didn’t experience the effect. It seems to me my father started at the top of the hill and put the car in neutral.
My mom and her family grew up in Frankfort, not to far from gravity hill.
I was in St Joe/Benton Harbor one night in 2009 2010, under the watersof lake Michigan lights started lighting up under the water big as a city many lights freaked me tf out
That large must be other witnesses?
I live in that area I don't remember that but very cool!
We're you on a boat? How far out?
Benton harbor definitely has a certain vibe to it, I live like 45 mins away from it. Went there like last year and it just felt strange
Have you ever heard about the "boiling" of the bay (Grand Traverse Bay, I think west)? I remember hearing a story about it once on "The Haunting of Traverse City" which was done by a radio station up here every year. Story goes something like every year around the same time the bay would "boil" until one year in the middle of the night mysterious ships were seen near where the "boiling" happened. The ships were gone in the morning but it never happened afterward. More research is probably needed to make it a proper story but that's all I remember about it, it was years and years and years ago that I heard it.
These are amazing and you explain things so well! Michigan is awesome. With the Lake Michigan lights, all I can think about where the hundreds of people, including officials and police, witnessing all the UFOs that night in 1994.
Brief earthquake while i was in a 2nd story classroom at my high school in a Detroit suburb. This was 1985 or 1986. It was a steel beamed building and we could hear the structure groaning as our rows of desks shifted front to back. Lasted maybe 7 seconds tops. Thought it was someone pushing my desk from behind . Teacher in that room said it was all of our collective brain power, as we were all silently reading at the time. lol
It was 1987. I was on a school bus returning to Port Huron from Boblo Island. Everyone thought we hit a super bumpy patch on I-94 because we were bouncing off our seats. The bus driver did not confirm, which I thought was strange. Then when we got back to the school, family who were picking us up asked if we felt the earthquake.
Yup. Happened to me around then in Sterling Heights. Table trembling and knock knack wiggled off.
I live near the Dinosaur Gardens in Ossineke and have been there a few times and driven by there hundreds of times, trust me, nothing special except maybe the history.
I have visited the Garden back in the early 80s but my favorite place in there is the restaurant called Connies the 45th parallel very nice country I live south of this area near Flint.
Old time tourist trap. We had The Underground Forest, Animal Land in Crawford County. Cool as hell when you were 6 in the 1950s.
The Underground Forest is actually still around in Gaylord, called The Call of the Wild now.
Sea Sjell City was another one thats still right off I-75 by Indian River.
It only has any meaning if it was the thrill of the month for you when you were a kid. Actually kinda sad that kids aren't kids like they used to be, all tech crap and such.
How do you pronounce the town name? My family from around Alpena always say Os-sin-neek.
Good stuff, grew up and live in west Michigan. The tremmors are interesting because I've experienced them when I was a kid, back then I lived outside working, hunting, fishing ect.., I recall mentioning it to a friend once and he experienced something's similar, but I never really heard anyone else talk about it. I'm 50 so I've been around for a minute..
Thanks for watching! It’s definitely not something that’s mentioned often that’s for sure.
Same here. 50 and from west MI, many tremmors where I grew up.
Southwest Michigan here Benton Harbor/St Joseph
58 from Kalamazoo and I recall tremors when I was young.
Also had foundation damage and broken glass from the 2015 quake. That scared the crap out of me. I was home alone at the time. 😅
What you're saying about the copper in Michigan doesn't surprise me. I remember as a little girl growing up in Michigan during the '60s and '70s that there was a lot of copper jewelry to be found almost everywhere, and this was not copper mixed with other metals, this was pure copper jewelry which is considered 99.9% copper. Most of my jewelry back then was copper, and I loved it!
Yes, there is an ancient fault line in Michigan, but that is not all there is. Most people won't believe this but there's actually five baby volcanoes in the state of Michigan. They're so far below the ground that even their tiny calderas can't be seen.
I myself have also heard very loud unexplainable noises in Michigan. I wonder what they are.
The gravity hill thing is your car actually rolling down the hill. It just looks like you’re rolling uphill.
I was at home in Wayland, 45 minutes north of Galesburg, when that quake hit. I was changing after work and thought I was finally cracking and losing my mind. The blinds were swinging back and forth, and I was absolutely dumbfounded as to why.
I heard the copper went to the Egyptians and that area. Also there were Nephilim in those days we had something to do with it. 1:22
Lake Michigan has a submarine, it docks in Chicago. It's worth a google
Muskegon lake also has a sub
Silversides in Muskegon
Chicago sub is from Nazi Germany.
Yea buts it’s not currently in service. Has been out of service for years
@@MohrRacing2 yea buts live in the woods,also in Michigan
There is another "Gravity Hill" on the outskirts of Rose City MI as well!!
@@SamanthaKowalski-h8x that is correct, been there myself. Pretty amazing place.
Where, exactly? I go through Ride City often and would like to go there.
I have felt the ground shake and the weird pressure change because of the ground shifting while I was out in the woods walking looking for mushrooms it's actually happened to me a few times especially When I was a kid I remember one time being out there and almost felt like I was hit with a shockwave nothing violent but it was just like a whomping sound but you could feel it as well that's happened a couple times and don't even get me started with the things that are out in the woods the disappearing Church of Hoosier Valley here in Traverse City MI bowers Harbor Inn is haunted the haunted tunnels underneath Traverse City the haunted state hospital the weird shipwrecks in our bays and around Lake Michigan it's a beautiful and spooky place
I'm a Yooper and I didn't know most of these things. Thanks!
I live in the UP, thanks for talking about the copper mines and copper mystery!
Have you seen any Sasquatch? That’s where it all started for me.
How cold has it been up there ? It was below 0 here. I'm near downtown
@@Captainscentsable44 hi, I was -28 last week and -25, that was the coldest so far, today it was -1, below 0 temps are hard for me because i can't be outside as long as i would like.
I followed the USGS website in the early "teens". The earth quake in 2014 in Galesburg, was a 4.3 and the largest on record on the planet that day.
back around 2003 (can't remember the specifics of so long ago) while living around port huron, i do remember it felt like the entire earth jumped under my feet. it wasn't drawn out or anything, just a sudden feeling of shifting and then it was over
You forgot about the earthquake just south of Windsor it was 3.6 I believe. I heard it and my wife asked me what it was and I told her it was an earthquake. She thought I was nuts until it came on the news.
I remember that . I was sitting at our dining room table and wow what a feeling.
I have felt two small earthquakes in Michigan . I have lived here all of my life . The last one I felt . I could also hear the rumble from it .
I was inside my house ,my husband was outside . I asked him if he heard or felt anything and he said, no .
The news later said that most people said the same thing about whether the felt it or not .
5:26 not news gravity hill is a place where the surrounding landscape creates an optical illusion that makes a slight downhill slope appear to be uphill. This illusion can make it seem like a car left in neutral will roll uphill.
The Dinosaur garden is a cool place to visit. I live just down the road and my friend's uncle built it. Awesome. As far as Thunder Bay, I can personally tell you that the shallow water makes waves triple in size when they hit the shallow bay. Another reason why so many wrecks happen here. Yes, you pronounced Ossineke the wrong way. Don't be offended. All the telemarketers do. Oss IN EKE
Thank you for the copper mine info. 40 yrs ago my teen sons were in the UP at the university there for a summer college experience. A prof there had written about the PHOENICIAN, or "water peoples" from ancient history, mining copper here in MI. There were photos of huge round balls of carved rock, dwarfing men, that were discovered at the sites of ancient copper mines. ( late 1800's) I've read many books since then, about activities in the UP from ancient peoples. SO much proof has been destroyed that the truth is difficult to differentiate from myth. BUT, time has proven that myth IS based on forgotten knowledge.🤔
Nobody ever takes a level to any of the gravity hill locations.
Been there with a level. It's an optical illusion. It's fun, but not mysterious.
@blauer2551 That's for flat landers A!
Let's do it
35 years ago a big foot was reportedly seen in the Fort Custer area west of Battle Creek 😂
A friend and I saw one in the woods between Ypsilanti and Milan back in 1982.
I was in a packed vet clinic a couple miles from the epicenter. Just before it hit the out of control waiting room got deathly silent. Dog crawled under chairs and into doorways. Cats hid in carriers. The there was a massive roar, and the entire building shook. People started screaming - think a plane had gone down outside. But the shaking movement was up and down and in a wave motion. Having grown up in northern Wyoming not far from Yellowstone, I knew it was an earthquake. I shouted "earthquake! About a 5.2!" A first responder raced to his truck and got on his radio. He came back in and said, "Earthquake, 5.2!! I smiled, and said, " just a small one." Later it was downgrade to just below that. But I still stand by 5.2.
Lived in Michigan my entire life, Michigan has TOO much energy and Erie quietness. There’s definitely some huge hidden things in my home
Has anybody ever heard the story about how Thunder Bay got it's name? Something about a large shift in the earth and a loud noise. I heard the story once, a long time ago. I have no idea where the story came from or if it's true.
A meteor hit in Ontario, and blasted dirt, rocks, and debris across Michigan. Pre-history. May be what your talking about.
Been there, did the baby powder. It's cool, but it's a little hill on a bigger hill. And yes the baby powder does leave hand prints on your bumper, but it's just the powder sticking to the places hands have touched it and left oil from their hands.
I lived in Michigan my whole life and didn't know none of this stuff. Dang.
The more you know!
@@abellewis3062 me neither
I've lived in Michigan my whole life in Macomb county near Detroit, in 1989 in 6th grade we had a tremor rattle the whole elementary school and surrounding area...it never was explained what caused it..
Remember In the 90s we felt something brief that I don’t remember ever hearing what it actually was. Pictures on the walls shaking.
I'm in Monroe and remember the quakes. That was a weird day.
2007/8 in Kalamazoo we experienced an Earthquake too. I remember waking up to it and my roommate running into my room freaked out.
I was in the kitchen in Hamilton and I thought the farmer, who was plowing the field across from my house, pulled up in my driveway! I ran to the window and he was way across the field! Then I saw my dogs running in the yard! It rattled the dog gate latch open!
The new madrid fault line runs along the lake Michigan coast of Michigan
Lived here my whole life, man didn’t know any of these lol I was born in the mid 60’s so didn’t have the internet to grow up with and it’s cool learning these things! Appreciate the videos!!
A couple times this past summer my house shook. I watched water bounce back and forth inside a wrapped case. Freaky. 30 miles north of Detroit.
I live in Ossineke,on the lake within a mile of Dinosaur gardens. Dinosaur Gardens isnt anything mysterious, the weird stuff on the lake, the sonic booms , those are weird.
My question is…
Is he pronouncing your towns name correctly? I though it was pronounced
Oss in eek. What do you say?
I lived in ossineke as a kid. I have a memory of the dinosaurs. It's great to hear It's been restored ❤
My daughter worked at Dinosaur Gardens in 2023 with the new owners. They are making amazing improvements and it’s always packed. They even host parties in the summer.
Just made my little niece and nephew an itinerary for a weekend trip there!
*The weirdest thing is how Jocelyn Benson, the down ballot Secretary of State candidate, received more votes than both Gubernatorial candidates in 2022, getting about 70k more votes than Whitmer*
As Stalin indicated, power lies with who counts the votes.😢
Hmm one strong candidates with little opposition gets more votes than 2 opposing candidates in another race. Sounds like the people really wanted jocylyn bensen. Nothing unusual.
@ronaldarchibald2506 *And 81 million of them really wanted Joe Biden in 2020 too.*
*The only thing more ridiculous than believing that Biden got 12 million more votes in 2020, than Obama got in 2008; Is believing that Kamala got 6 million more than him in 2024!*
*Also ironic that voter "turnout" in 2020 was up exactly 66.6% during a "pandemic" but that's neither here nor there*
Even stranger still is how Covid affected all MI residents EXCEPT Gov. Whitmer and her family, who were apparently so immune that they were all able to gather for a big family Easter dinner while the rest of the state was under tyrannical dystopian lockdown.
I've been in ossineke before and visited the dinosaurs with my children and as an avid fisherman of lake Michigan I have also seen the green lights and let me tell you it will touch you in your soul
In the Irish Hills of Michigan (located in the SE part of Jackson County, and the NW part of Lenawee County) at one time there was a place called Prehistoric Forst that had cement dinosaurs, I don't remember if you walked or drove through it. Just a little east of there was Mystery Hill where a ball would roll up a floor and water would run up the stream. There was Stagecoach Stop, the Twin Towers, Dwight D Eisenhower Presidential Railroad Car, and it seems to me there were others too. Some of these attractions were taken down and replaced with other attractions that have now gone defunct!
What is it with the crazy redundant background "music" ?
I'm surprised you didn't mention the alligator sanctuary.
Lake Michigan changes the direction of its current every 6-7 years. That is why bodiy show up years later from Chicago in SW Mi and from Michigan in Chicago area beaches.
Have you Covered the Wexford County Dog Man?
i've seen him myself and pretty sure i have a pic of him on my one trail camera
Yes I have! It’s apart of my haunted/legends series
I was living in Mattawan when the 2015 quake happened. It was loud! I thought it was maybe some earth moving equipment coming down the street. Nope! Earthquake. I lived in Alaska and had small quakes there. It was surreal to experience one in Michigan of all places.
Mattawan here too, we thought it was a semi going by or a jet that went over. Went outside to check and saw nothing.
Back in the late 90s I worked in one of the big office towers in Troy,MI. One Friday afternoon, the place started shaking and rumbling... just enough to be noticable. At first I thought it was from all the people wandering around yakking about their weekend plans, or maybe a big load passing by on newrby I-75. I found out later it was an earthquake, acording to the TV news.. who spent the time interviweing folks whose Elvis collector plates had fallen off the wall. :-)
I live near Grayling where the military base is. Every summer we hear and feel booms from them doing bombing exercise or something like that. The shaking rattles dishes sometimes but you definitely wouldn't mistake it for an earthquake......at least if you live here you wouldn't.
How about Paulding light in Paulding? It's freaky to see it across the ridge. If you go towards the light, it vanishes while the people on the other ridge see it moving around you. Freaky.
I grew up in oss-in-eke, loved going to the Gardens. Domke also built Paul Bunyan Lookout. It was my first job. Got some other interesting tidbits for you.
Does it still have Paul Bunyan and blue?
michigan does have earthquakes. i moved to kalamazoo in 1992 and there have been 3 there since then. the last one was the strongest. i felt them very clearly.( it's ossineke-----last part sounds like neek.)
100% I never thought the small earth quakes I’d experienced were such a mystery, always thought they were possible to occur anywhere 🤷🏻♀️
The copper was traded for items they needed copper from upper Michigan has been found all over north and Central America
@carlfitzpatrick5864 the copper has been traced to the bronze age weapons!! Look it up
@@JamesFoster-z9s the copper that comes from the keweenaw peninsula in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula is very unique compared to all other copper in the world it has a high degree of silver in it. This is one thing that still hasn’t been proven there has been copper found on ship wrecks dating back to that time period but the copper make up doesn’t match that of Michigan copper. Here is proof it was traded in the Americas at the North Dakota state capitol museum they have items that where traded at a site that was abandoned quickly. They found Michigan copper, knifes from the local area and materials from north and South America.
I've read scientific theories that the earthquakes and shaking in Michigan are caused by the rebounding of the crust after the Laurentide sheet retreated after the last ice age. The glacier weighed so much that it caused a massive depression in the Earth's crust.
I live in michigan,and love to here thing's that are going on in michigan,people😊
Born in Royal Oak, grew up until 12 in Howell. Live in Florida today.
Wow!! Your video is interesting. I've lived in Kalamazoo MI. all of my life . I've been all over the state and especially love the UP. The only thing that I can remember is waking up with my bed shaking. Scared the bejeebers out of me. Lol. I had no clue that Michigan had such odd things that happen. I truly believe in this vast universe there are so many things that we don't know about. I particular don't like Kalamazoo but the UP is gorgeous and that Michigan is a beautiful state! Thanks for sharing!
You have the best MI vids 🎉
Thank you!
We have had a family lake cottage in Manistee since I was a kid and my grandparents and mother used to live there. I have never heard of gravity hill. If that is where it is located as you didn't say.
Right on Putney Road!
Someone go take a level and check it out
It's there. Just an optical illusion. I've been there with a level, and your car will definitely roll down a slope. It just looks like you're going up. It's fun, but not mysterious.
Yes but the baby powder!!
@@wirelessone2986If someone touches the glass before they put the baby powder on it, the oil from your fingers affect the powder..

I like Michigan
Add the Paulding Light to the list.
In another video of mine!
Went with a high powered spotting scope. It's distant car headlights on the highway.
Michigan has the weirdest lake in the country. It drains completely about every twenty five years: Rainy lake😮😮
Okay, since the most recent events of these drones coming out of the oceans, what are the chances of it here in our Great Lakes?
Irish Hills....been there when I was a kid back in the early 70s...Stage coach Stop...etc.
I love learning odd stuff about my state.
Thanks for watching!
There are different spots around the country that have similar spots to "Gravity Hill" and all have been debunked as a trick of the landscape to the eyes. They all have similar stories too of some school bus that crashed near the spot and it's the ghosts of kids pushing you away from danger. The fingerprints in the powder are just yours and anyone else who opens and closes your trunk. If you specifically clean that area of the car, you'll notice you won't get fingerprints when you try the powder. You can even use laser levels to debunk the "slope."
There are Salt Mines all Under Southern Michigan as well
Any entrance?
3:23 The 2015 earthquake was crazy. I was in a restaurant in Kzoo when it happened, we were all confused thought it was a train too close, until someone announced from their phone it was an earthquake
