Saturday evening far off coast from Marquette, Michigan appeared this mysterious ship that had to be gigantic! Almost as if a ghost ship was showing itself to the world.. Even if it was a ship, what could be that tall in these choppy waves? 

Asselin's YouTube channel has more than 8 million views, with videos varying from snowmobile racing to random observations of life in Michigan.

Could this be the vision of a lost vessel? The Great Lakes is home to more than 6,000 shipwrecks, according to the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum.

Some have estimated more than 25,000 shipwrecks.
