The unknown is alive in the depths of the great lakes. And it calls to us like the relentless waves lapping the shores.
The great lakes are the largest group of freshwater lakes in the world by total area and contain roughly 20 percent of the world's fresh water ? but they also hold six thousand lost ships and tens of thousands of drowned and missing souls.
In this sweeping collection Mark Leslie maps the supernatural history of North America's inland seas. Charting a clockwise journey through all five lakes, as well as their connecting waterways and bodies of water, including Lake St. Clair, Leslie draws on historical records, newspaper archives, Indigenous oral traditions and first-hand witness accounts to create a fascinating mix of maritime history, regional folklore and paranormal nonfiction.
Whether you live near the lakes or simply love them, Ghost Stories of the Great Lakes will delight you with the hidden histories, Indigenous traditions and unsolved mysteries embedded in every shoreline.
