Summary

Something strange stirs in the cold, dark waters of Lake Superior. Author and explorer Chad Lewis joins us to share tales from his new book Supernatural Lake Superior. From ghost ships that vanish into the mist to monstrous serpents seen from the shore, the world’s largest freshwater lake hides more mysteries than you might imagine. We also explore haunted lighthouses, eerie campgrounds, and legends that predate modern history. Chad takes us along the rugged shorelines and deep waters that have inspired centuries of folklore, blending history and the supernatural into a fascinating look at one of North America’s most haunted regions. You’ll think twice the next time you gaze across that endless water… wondering what might be looking back. You can find Chad's book at Amazon: https://www.chadlewisresearch.com/ Thanks Chad!

0:00.0	Welcome to the paranormal podcast. I am Jim Harold and so glad to be with you once again. And you know, over the years when you've been doing this for a while,
0:21.9	you get some of your favorite guests. And we have just such a guest today to talk about

1:01.9	this book on Supernatural Lake Superior.
1:06.1	Growing up in Wisconsin, I've always loved Lake Superior and especially the supernatural side to it and
1:15.1	collected all sorts of books on the lake. And most of them involved ghost ships and haunted

1:48.8	happen on the water and the surrounding areas.
1:51.3	Is that correct?
1:53.4	Yes, mostly the shoreline.
1:55.5	Lake Superior has over 2,000 miles of shoreline.
2:00.0	So there's plenty to pick from, from haunted hotels to
