S6 E12: Michigan Monsters & Mysteries (Summer Rewind)
About this episode
In this special ad free Summer Rewind episode of That Would Be Rad, we're revisiting one of our favorite road-trip rabbit holes: the strange creatures, bizarre legends, unexplained lights, haunted waters, and forgotten mysteries of Michigan.
What started as a family vacation to Northern Michigan quickly turned into an obsession. Between the endless forests, crystal-clear lakes, tiny logging towns, and miles of rugged shoreline, it didn't take long before we found ourselves asking the same question:
What else is out there?
Join Woody and Tyler as they explore some of Michigan's strangest legends, including Bigfoot sightings deep in the woods, mysterious lake monsters lurking beneath the Great Lakes, eerie lights floating through the darkness, Native American legends of supernatural beasts, haunted cemeteries, underwater mysteries, and one of the most fascinating "Bermuda Triangle" style locations in North America.
Along the way, Woody shares some personal experiences from his time exploring the lakes and forests of Northern Michigan and explains why this beautiful part of the country feels like the perfect setting for high strangeness.
If you love Bigfoot, lake monsters, UFOs, Native American folklore, haunted locations, unexplained disappearances, or just discovering strange local legends you've never heard before, this episode is packed with bizarre stories from one of the most beautiful and mysterious regions in the United States.
This isn't just an episode about monsters.
It's about the places that seem to create monsters.
The deep woods.
The dark water.
The forgotten roads.
The places where imagination and mystery overlap.
So grab your kayak, keep an eye on the shoreline, and maybe don't wander too far into the woods after dark...
Be Rad.
