Erie Ghosts, Cryptids, and UFOs: Presque Isle’s Paranormal Legends, Lake Monsters & Alien Encounters

Episode 31: In this chilling episode of Slice of the Paranormal, we journey to the haunted shores of Presque Isle State Park, a strange sandbar stretching off the coast of Erie, Pennsylvania, in Lake Erie. Steeped in Native American folklore and shadowed by the ominous names of Misery Bay and Graveyard Pond, this mysterious location sets the stage for tales that blur the line between history and the supernatural. We dive deep into legends of the Lake Erie Storm Hag—a deadly spirit said to lure ships to their doom—and South Bay Bessie, the elusive Lake Erie sea monster. But the real twist? A firsthand retelling of a UFO landing on Beach 6, where five eyewitnesses reported seeing a craft descend and a mysterious creature leave footprints in the sand. No government investigation followed. No police report filed. Just silence… and a trail of articles in the local Erie Times-News. Along the way, we nearly lose our car to the sands of Beach 6—because of course we do. With ghost sightings, cryptid creatures, and UFO activity, Presque Isle might just be one of the most paranormally active places in Pennsylvania. Don’t miss this deep-dive into Erie’s haunted history, cryptid chaos, and unexplained alien contact. Hit play—before the Storm Hag calls your name.
