S10 E6 - F-Bomb - The Ice Bound Giants of the U.P.

In the frozen wilderness of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, stories have endured for generations—whispers of Ice Bound Giants, massive figures said to roam the snow-choked forests during the dead of winter.

In this episode of F-Bomb Friday, we explore one of the U.P.’s most chilling pieces of folklore. Lumber camps spoke of towering shapes moving through blizzards. Hunters reported impossible footprints frozen deep into the ice. Entire communities passed down warnings meant to keep people indoors after dark.

Are the Ice Bound Giants a cautionary legend born from isolation and winter madness—or something far older, rooted in Indigenous storytelling and the brutal reality of Great Lakes winters?

Welcome to F-Bomb Friday—where Michigan folklore, fables, and frights come alive.
