With years of experience investigating some of Michigan's most haunted sites, Dan brings a wealth of knowledge, compelling stories, and chilling evidence gathered from the field. Whether you're a seasoned investigator or simply curious about what goes bump in the night, this episode is packed with firsthand accounts, eerie encounters, and the behind-the-scenes truth about what it's like to explore the spirit world. Southern Michigan Paranormals is one of the most respected investigative teams in the Midwest, known for their methodical approach, dedication to evidence-based research, and willingness to explore locations that many others wouldn't dare enter. Dan shares his journey into the paranormal — what sparked his interest, how his team came together, and some of the strangest cases they've tackled. From abandoned asylums to private homes plagued by unexplainable activity, the team has faced it all. Dan explains how they use a mix of traditional ghost-hunting tools like EMF meters, digital recorders, and thermal cameras, along with intuitive investigation techniques and historical research to uncover the truth behind reported hauntings. In this episode, Dan recounts a recent investigation where his team captured Class A EVPs (Electronic Voice Phenomena) and full-body apparitions at a location with a dark past tied to tragedy and unrest. We discuss how fear and energy can linger in spaces, why certain buildings seem to attract supernatural activity, and how different spirits communicate. Dan also opens up about the personal toll and emotional experiences that come with this line of work. Not every spirit is friendly, and not every case ends with answers. Sometimes, just walking into a location can trigger intense feelings, headaches, or emotional shifts — something Dan and his team have experienced repeatedly. We also explore the differences between residual and intelligent hauntings, why some spirits may be trying to deliver a message, and how investigators determine if a haunting is genuine or caused by environmental or psychological factors. Dan offers insight into what homeowners should do if they believe their home is haunted, and he shares some advice for those looking to get into the field of paranormal research. One of the most compelling parts of this conversation is hearing about the camaraderie within the Southern Michigan Paranormals team. Dan talks about how trust and respect are crucial when exploring dangerous, decaying buildings or dealing with potentially malevolent forces. The paranormal isn't just about ghost stories — it's about teamwork, dedication, and maintaining a healthy level of skepticism while remaining open to possibilities.   This week's episode is not only packed with spooky tales but also offers a grounded and respectful look at the field of paranormal investigation. Whether you're tuning in for the thrills or to learn more about the methodology behind ghost hunting, Dan's stories and insights will leave you questioning what really happens after we leave this world.

We talk to the author of the new book “Birdscaping for Wisconsin and the Great Lakes.” Then Brian Hudelson is back to talk about this year's most prevalent plant diseases.

After a scoreboard update from Corbin Lingenfelter, Marc Dykton starts the final hour talking with the voice of the Indianapolis Colts, Matt Taylor, as they talk about the QB Battle, training camp coming up, and all things Horseshoe. We then get a word from Will Carroll of UnderTheKnife, as he talks the injuries of all the Indianapolis stars, Tyrese Haliburton, Caitlin Clark, and Anthony Richardson. Before we hear about Anthony Richardson though, we first hear from Mike Maahs, the voice of the Fort Wayne TinCaps as they fall 8-0 to Great Lakes. We move over to the other minor league side in action today as the South Bend Cubs voice, Brendan King, calls in to talk their double header today in Cedar Rapids. We close out the night with the conclusion of the conversation with Will Carroll as they talk Anthony Richardson’s shoulder. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is the VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran, during Veterans Month in America. SUBMITTED BY: Sandra D _____________________________________________________________ Vic and KenDad would be against me telling people what he did, because he didn't have to go to combat. But he was prepared to be on a landing craft heading toward the shore of Japan. He always said he wasn't afraid, which might be why they tested him to be a frogman. There was something in his makeup that did not register fear. I saw that over and over. I think he got that job because he was a little knowledgeable about motors and equipment, having been on a farm. So if the motor of the landing craft went down, Pop could have worked on it. So think about this: Pop knew he might have to work on an engine on a landing craft off the shore of Japan while he was being shot at. He was okay with that. Because he knew he had to be. Here is my submission:Pop was drafted in the fall of 1944[, which was remarkable in itself. It meant that the US was so hungry for soldiers and sailors that even young farmers were being drafted and that women, old men, and kids were left to feed the country. But ]the US was ramping up to invade Japan. Pop was assigned to the Navy. [After training at Great Lakes near Chicago, he was tested to become a frogman at Fort Pierce, Florida. Frogmen were the precursors to the Navy Seals. It bothered him to the day he died that he did not pass one test to go on to the next level. My guess is, as a frogman, he would have been used to swim to the shores of Japan and blow up obstacles to landing craft. Instead, ]In 1945, he trained to crew a landing craft to invade Japan. They were told that one half of them would die. They were also told that they would know their chances of survival based upon what "wave" they were in. He was 20 years old when he was told to contemplate dying. We know how it ended, the atomic bomb meant that Pop never shipped out from Norfolk to the Pacific. Instead, in the spring of 1946, he was assigned to the engine room of the USS Missouri and sent all the way to Istanbul, Turkey. This was a way for President Truman to tell the Soviet Union to "back off." My father loved that ship so much, that I think if they had told him he could have stayed on it, he would not have come back and married my mother whom he had known for her entire life. (And loved. I have the Valentine he gave her in the 1930s to prove it.) My father never wanted to be recognized for his service because he did not go into combat. He knew people who did. He was incredibly loyal to family members who suffered alcoholism because of being in combat in the War and in Korea. But he was prepared to drive a landing craft with troops onto the shores of Japan. And, if he lived through doing it once, I have no doubt he would have backed that craft up and done it again. His entire life, he did whatever it took. Thank you for recognizing Pop.

In 1682, Robert de La Salle embarked on an expedition to navigate the Mississippi River from its northern source near the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. During this expedition, La Salle and his party constructed a small fort along the Big Muddy called Fort Prud'homme in West Tennessee. Thereafter, he ultimately reached the mouth of the Mississippi, where he formally claimed the vast River Valley territory for France, naming it La Louisiane or Louisiana, in honor of Saint Louis and King Louis the Fourteenth. La Salle also encountered various Native American tribes along his journey, including the Natchez, whose contentious relationship with the French over the ensuing decades led to a dramatic climax in 1729; highlighting the complex interactions between European adventurers and Native American populations during this period of exploration and colonization.

A bill would free overtime pay from taxes. However, truckers – who don't get overtime – are not included. Another bill would change that. Also, a man survived one of the worst shipwrecks on the Great Lakes – and a trucker told his tale. We'll tell you about the S.S. Daniel J. Morrell. And late in 2024, two Iowa DOT workers stepped up to help a trucker in a bad situation.

It delivers services through an extensive network of SBA field offices and partnerships with public and private organizations. 

The Mississippi River was explored by French adventurer and fur trader René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle. He explored the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada, and the Mississippi River. He is best known for an early 1682 expedition in which he canoed the lower Mississippi River from the mouth of the Illinois River to the Gulf of Mexico; there, he claimed the Mississippi River basin for France after giving it the name La Louisiane (Louisiana), in honor of Saint Louis and Louis XIV.

Episode 260 of the Great Lakes Fishing Podcast is an interview from my recent trip to Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. I spent a day on the water with Reel Impression Sportfishing Charters and Captain John Pollock. We discuss fishing the famous Bank Reef on Lake Michigan, which is just east of Sturgeon Bay, John's experiences using the Fish Hawk Lithium Series, and fishing with his son and father. It was a great day on the water, and I really appreciate the opportunity to get out with John and his crew. For more Great Lakes fishing information, visit https://fishhawkelectronics.com/blog/

Politically-driven chaos is disrupting U.S. scientific institutions and creating challenges for science in Canada. Science is a global endeavour and collaborations with the U.S. are routine. In this special episode of Quirks & Quarks, we explore what Canadian scientists are doing to preserve their work to assert scientific sovereignty in the face of this unprecedented destabilization. Canadian climate scientists brace for cuts to climate science infrastructure and data U.S. President Donald Trump's attacks on climate science are putting our Earth observing systems, in the oceans and in orbit, at risk. Canadian scientists who rely on U.S. led climate data infrastructure worry about losing long-term data that would affect our ability to understand our changing climate. With: Kate Moran, the president and CEO of Ocean Networks Canada and Emeritus Professor of Oceanography at the University of Victoria Debra Wunch, Physicist at the University of TorontoChris Fletcher, Department of Geography and Environmental Management at the University of WaterlooU.S. cuts to Great Lakes science and monitoring threaten our shared freshwater resourceU.S. budget and staffing cuts are jeopardizing the long-standing collaboration with our southern neighbour to maintain the health of the Great Lakes, our shared resource and the largest freshwater system in the world. With: Jérôme Marty, executive director of the International Association for Great Lakes Research and part-time professor at the University of OttawaGreg McClinchey, policy and legislative director with the Great Lakes Fishery CommissionMichael Wilkie, Biologist at Wilfred Laurier UniversityBrittney Borowiec, research associate in the Wilkie Lab at Wilfred Laurier UniversityAaron Fisk, Ecologist and Canada Research Chair at the University of WindsorUnexpected ways U.S. culture war policies are affecting Canadian scientists One of the first things President Trump did after taking office was to sign an executive order eliminating all DEI policies in the federal government. This is having far-reaching consequences for Canadian scientists as they navigate the new reality of our frequent research partner's hostility against so-called “woke science.”With:Dr. Sofia Ahmed, Clinician scientist, and academic lead for the Women and Children's Health Research Institute at the University of Alberta Angela Kaida, professor of health sciences and Canada Research Chair at Simon Fraser University in VancouverDawn Bowdish, professor of immunology, the executive director of the Firestone Institute for Respiratory Health and Canada Research Chair at McMaster UniversityKevin Zhao, MD/PhD student in immunology in the Bowdish Lab at McMaster UniversityJérôme Marty, executive director of the International Association for Great Lakes ResearchCanada has a ‘responsibility' to step up and assert scientific sovereigntyA 2023 report on how to strengthen our federal research support system could be our roadmap to more robust scientific sovereignty. The Advisory Panel on the Federal Research Support System made recommendations to the federal government for how we could reform our funding landscape. The intent was to allow us to quickly respond to national research priorities and to make Canada a more enticing research partner in world science.

In 1682, the Mississippi River was explored by French adventurer and fur trader René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle. He explored the Great Lakes region of the United States and Canada, and the Mississippi River. He is best known for an early 1682 expedition in which he canoed the lower Mississippi River from the mouth of the Illinois River to the Gulf of Mexico; there, on April 9, 1682, he claimed the Mississippi River basin for France after giving it the name La Louisiane, in honor of Saint Louis and Louis XIV.

After years of circling this ride (pun intended) it's time to do a lap of the lake that I've lived near for a big chunk of my early life. Would it have been easier to pick a smaller lake? Sure. But Lake Ontario truly is a Great Lake in the sense it is surrounded by diverse and interesting places we'll discover together.

Key Takeaways: U.S. Maritime Modernization: Policy Driven Changes in Ocean Shipping In “U.S. Maritime Modernization: Policy Driven Changes in Ocean Shipping”, Joe Lynch and Lauren M. Beagen, the Founder of Squall Strategies and The Maritime Professor, discuss the following:  OSRA 2022: Better Rules for Shippers: The Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022 gave the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) more power to stop unfair charges from ocean carriers, especially for detention and demurrage. It's all about protecting shippers and making things fairer. "Decoupling" from China? It's Complicated: The idea of moving away from China for manufacturing isn't a simple "breakup." It's more about smart diversification, spreading out where we get things to lower risks, rather than cutting ties completely. Bringing Production Closer to Home: There's a big push to move manufacturing back to the US or to friendly countries nearby. This means building new factories, finding workers, and using government help to create stronger, more local supply chains. Maritime Law: The Unsung Hero: Don't underestimate maritime law! The rules for shipping by sea are super important for how goods move around the world. They keep things fair and stable in global trade. FMC's Growing Role in Today's Market: The FMC isn't just about old rules anymore. It's actively watching and reacting to supply chain problems, making sure US interests are protected and competition stays fair in ocean shipping. Diversify, Don't Just Ditch: Instead of pulling out of existing supply chains entirely, companies are focusing on diversifying. This means finding multiple places to source from, making supply networks more resilient against unexpected issues. Politics Meets Business: What It Means for You: Big political goals, like bringing jobs back or reducing reliance on certain countries, directly impact how businesses operate in transportation, logistics, and supply chain. Understanding this connection is key to staying ahead.

WellsNotesA boat, ship whatever, ran into the Brooklyn Bridge, and here's a video of a woman who is a mariner explaining what might have happened. The Chicago River is an engineering marvel. In 1887, they reversed the river and sent it out to the Mississippi rather than having it flow into Lake Michigan. They were moving rivers around in Rhode Island because of Mayor SOMEBODY and his desire to turn Providence into the Venice of the United States. Waterfire is a Providence thing, but it isn't the same as the water fire[s] in Cleveland. The greatest of the Great Lakes is Lake Superior, to be honest, and it's not afraid to tell everyone about it. Station Eleven is a great book set in and around the Great Lakes.
