Description
The Michigan Triangle (U.S.A.)
The Michigan Triangle is an area of Lake Michigan where unexplained phenomena have reportedly occurred.
According to author Linda S. Godfrey in her book Weird Michigan (2006), the Michigan Triangle is located over central Lake Michigan. One side stretches from the town of Ludington to Benton Harbor in Michigan; another links from Benton Harbor to Manitowoc, Wisconsin; the final side connects Manitowoc back to Ludington.
There are numerous stories of the supposed appearance of strange creatures; unexplained vanishings; time standing still, slowing to a crawl, or speeding up; and other unusual happenings.
One well-known and oft-repeated case is that of Captain George R. Donner, who commanded the Great Lakes freighter O.S. McFarland. While on a journey back from Erie, Pennsylvania after picking up 9,800 tons of coal, the ship made course westward through the lakes. It was slow going due to late-spring ice floes, but the ship was making steady progress toward its destination, Port Washington, Wisconsin, when Donner disappeared.
On the night of April 28, 1937, the captain took to his cabin, with instructions to be awakened as the ship drew near to port. About three hours later, with Port Washington growing close, the second mate appeared at the captain's cabin, prepared to awaken him, but found no one. He and the crew searched the ship, but the captain was nowhere to be seen. The mate reported that the cabin door was locked from the inside, adding to the mystery of the Triangle. Reportedly, the McFarland was 30 mi (48 km) northwest of Ludington, Michigan at the time of Donner's disappearance; Ludington is reputed to be the nexus of the Lake Michigan Triangle.
The story was allegedly first reported in the 29 April 1937 edition of the Cleveland Press and is also mentioned in Dwight Boyer's Strange Adventures of the Great Lakes (1974).

Le Triangle du Lac Michigan
Le Triangle du Lac Michigan est une zone du lac Michigan,
où les phénomènes inexpliqués auraient eu lieu .
Selon l'auteur Linda S. Godfrey dans son livre étrange Michigan (2006 ), le Triangle du Lac Michigan est situé sur le centre du lac Michigan. Un côté s'étend la ville de Ludington à Benton Harbor dans le Michigan; autres liens de Benton Harbor à Manitowoc, dans le Wisconsin, le côté définitif relie Manitowoc retour à Ludington.
Il existe de nombreuses histoires de l'apparition supposée de créatures étranges; Vanishings inexpliquées temps suspendu, ce qui ralentit à une exploration, ou accélérer, et d'autres événements inhabituels .
Un cas bien connu et souvent répétée est celle du capitaine George R. Donner, qui commandait le cargo OS Grands Lacs McFarland. Lors d'un voyage de retour de Erie, Pennsylvanie après avoir ramassé 9800 tonnes de charbon, le navire fait bien sûr vers l'ouest par les lacs. Il a été lente en raison de la fin va à ressorts banquises, mais le navire a été fait des progrès constants vers sa destination, Port Washington, Wisconsin, quand Donner disparu.
Dans la nuit du 28 Avril 1937, le capitaine a pris dans sa cabine, avec des instructions pour être réveillé que le navire approchait de port. Environ trois heures plus tard, Port Washington de plus en plus proche, le second lieutenant était à la cabine du capitaine, préparé pour le réveiller, mais ne trouva personne.
Lui et l'équipage a fouillé le navire, mais le capitaine était nulle part pour être vu. Le second a signalé que la porte de la cabine était fermée de l'intérieur, ajoutant au mystère du Triangle. Selon les témoignages, le McFarland était de 30 mi ( 48 km) au nord-ouest de Ludington au moment de la disparition de Donner, Ludington est réputé pour être le lien du lac Michigan Triangle.
L'histoire a été rapportée aurait d'abord dans l'édition 29 Avril 1937 le Cleveland Press et est également mentionné dans de Dwight Boyer Strange Adventures des Grands Lacs (1974).
