Episode 98: Lake Lanier

Hello friends and welcome to Season 3!!! Can you guys believe it?!

This year we will be traveling to our first convention as vendors at Hauntlanta on Lake Lanier. Which makes this the perfect time to cover this lake, her sordid history, and the curse that is said to take the lives of more people every year than any other lake in the country.

Said to be the deadliest body of water in the US, the deadly history of this land goes all the way back to the forced removal of Cherokee people from the land. Add on to that the massacre and force removal of black people in Forsyth county, it no wonder people claim to feel hands grab them under water.
