my first instinct was to call but I felt a check raise..

Just a lot of confusion on the river.

I almost understand this so bear with me..

how does a check raise induce a bluff?

Then why are you check-raising? A busted draw can't just call a check-raise. Neither can a worse hand. This is a completely missguided move unless it was in hopes of inducing a maniac to come over the top.
