Deep beneath the surface of the water, at the bottom of this manmade lake, sits the ruins of a once prosperous town. It’s frozen in time, bridges, roads, and even some buildings still in the same place they were 70 years ago when the river valley was flooded. Lake Lanier, today, is a vacation destination to millions who live in the Southern US, but that land beneath the water holds a history of violence, racism, death, and destruction that the water simply masks. This land is said to be the source of a curse so dark, and so deadly, that even the best swimmers find themselves being pulled down to the depths, as if the spirits of those who suffered so greatly so many years ago are still there to enact their revenge. So today we will be talking about the history of Lake Lanier and the hauntings that make it such a hot spot for paranormal enthusiasts. This episode is history heavy with very dark themes, so keep that in mind as we make our way through.
