The never ending circle of Zug…
It appears that the Windsor Hum story has revolved all the way back around to where it was two years ago. The study that was just done and completed (Jan 2014) was suppose to ‘pinpoint’ the hum. That was the whole reason for the last study.
I would question the government(s). Why even do the study if you can’t get access to the island? It’s obvious to me this is the biggest hold up in determining the true source. There will be more speculations, and theories I am sure.
Zug Island is shut down
I should say the island has been shut down ever since the accident in Ecorse, MI. The ‘shutdown’ could be considered a partial shutdown, and the furnaces may still be running. Although I hear that they are not producing steel …
In light of the shutdown, people are still hearing THE HUM in Windsor and the associated noises that go along with the hum. I keep going back to this…but 4 years ago no one heard any noises. Now they hear an array of noises coming over from the other side.
There is still no word on when the final scientific report will be released (this is the second study the government did to determine the source of the hum). It was done, and handed in to the government in January 2014. This delayed release makes me wonder why they won’t release it or even give a timeline as to when this will happen.
I have been trying to find the answer/the report release date since March 2014. I have e-mailed the media relations people in Foreign Affairs, and so far no one has got back to me…
The Windsor Hum Status April 2014
The Windsor Hum’s location has not yet been determined (by April 2014). The Canadian Federal Government has had the final scientific report since January 2014, but they are supposedly not releasing the report until July 2014. I don’t understand why it would take that long to release a finished report. I’ve tried to contact the government on this matter and there is still no reply…
A turn of events:
Many people suspect that US Steel is/was making the noise, but USS has been shutdown on Zug Island (or it was put in an idle state) since a roof collapse happened at their Ecorse, MI facility in March. Yet..people in Windsor and Lasalle are STILL hearing noises!! so what does that say? If it’s not Zug who is it?
A short chronology of USS problems within the last few months:
1) ECORSE, Mich. (WJBK) - December 2013
An explosion Sunday at a steel plant in Ecorse killed one worker and injured two others. The accident happened overnight at U.S. Steel Great Lakes Works.
2) ECORSE, Mich. (WJBK) - A giant pipe has collapsed the roof of a building in Ecorse. - March 2014

3) U.S. Steel idled half of its domestic capacity after a fatal accident at an Ecorse plant and unusually icy conditions on Lake Michigan delayed raw-material shipments to another facility - April 2014

Hums, and other noises are still being heard full force. Is it Zug? Is it a combination of Zug, and something else? Do all the frequencies collide creating a orchestra of noise? …is it something else altogether? Why is everything louder than it was before?
This documentary has been looking into all of these questions, and carefully examining and investigating the variables. The report may or may not clear up some of this confusion, but it’s important to see what it says.
In the early days ponds would ripple from the force of the hum. This particular location is located nearly 15 km from Zug Island. Can the Zug Island hum reach this far as an airborne excitation? Or is this another type of phenomenon unrelated to the hum? This is something we need to look into.
The resident that originally posted this video claimed that they noticed a direct relation between hearing the sound and then seeing the pond vibrate. They were able to catch it on camera while it was happening. What could this be?
Ojibway Shores is one of the last pieces of natural habitat that reaches the water on the Detroit River, and it is unofficially (?) part of the Black Oak Heritage Park. This forest is extremely rare, and has many endangered/vulnerable plants and animals within it.
For the past few years in the land surrounding this area (once known as Brighton Beach) was taken over by the Federal Government. They appropriated the land for bridge development. Shortly after, security was put in place to keep people off the land.
I asked a security guard what they were protecting and she said “…The plants, and animals…” At any given time there are about 5-10 security guards surrounding the area. It could be considered excessive security for the protection of only natural habitat. How can anyone believe that when the government wants to rip the forest down now?? How can that be called protection?
If you decided to sneak back into the Ojibway Shores area you would be arrested by the Windsor Police who drive around on ATV’s. They protrol the area, and give people tickets for entering this natural habitat. Does this make sense? Does it make sense that they would be using motorized vehicles on such a vulnerable patch of land? No. None of this makes sense.
The other interesting thing is that all along this blue line (see inserted picture) there is no access along the water for the public. Many industries reside in these spaces, and they don’t allow access to anyone…especially camera people. I have tried numerous times to get down there to get shots of Zug Island but it’s tough when no one wants you down there.
In the past I was given permission to film Zug Island from the Canadian side, but I had to go through the harbour master to really get permission. It’s a two tiered system of permission.
Only time will tell if people will be able to save this last vestige of green space - The ancient and vulnerable forest.
