Shout out to the biggest, and most mysterious of the Great Lakes! Lake Superior is the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area and the third-largest by volume!

I keep having oceanic themed romance-horror dreams and last night it felt so real and people were raving about this movie on here in it so I was mega convinced it was real

Like what do you MEAN Depths, where a guy goes to an abandoned/shipwreck (looked normal but empty but was apparently underwater— I dunno) and finds a guy in there who can’t leave and can’t see the doors because to him they’re just more walls, mirrors, and windows and the first guy gets stranded here for a bit but is determined to save him and tries to coax him out but gets trapped in a folie a deux type of thing and thinks he’s trapped too, but eventually realizes this dude went through some extreme trauma keeping him here under his own perceived damnation and eventually they somehow become romantically involved, but the first guy eventually has to leave once rescued but the second still can’t as if there’s a supernatural barrier keeping him there? And when the first guy returns the ship is utterly decayed and filled with water as shipwrecks tend to be and there are strange fish swimming there isn’t a real movie

Haunted States of America: Michigan

Haunts of the Upper Great Lakes (1997) by Dixie Franklin

A bit of superstition haunts most of us -- a remnant perhaps of the memories of chillingly scary ghost stories told to us in our childhood. Northern Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula have more than their share of ghosts and haunted spaces: from Lotta, the mysterious 'shady lady of the night' in Hurley, Wisconsin; to the ghost of Mary Green, who apparently thinks she is still the captain of the Delta Queen, an elegant paddlewheel boat that sails the Mississippi River today; to the mystery light that appears along a lonely road near Paulding, Michigan; to the various shades and ghostly occupants of homes and inns on Mackinac Island and across the Upper Peninsula and northern Wisconsin. There are haunted lighthouses, haunted mansions and inns, and haunted woods -- all waiting for you in Haunts of the Upper Great Lakes!
