I don't think people GET that there's like a whole city underwater under there, complete with ghost buildings and 30ft tree's, once a body goes under there's so many places it could go
it's scary af

[Opposites Attract.]

They should drain the lake tbh and reconstruct it.

"You reach out into the dark and you feel an arm or a leg and it doesn't move. That's creepy," says Buchannon.

Creepy. That's the reputation this man-made lake has carried since the government flooded a few towns to build the body of water in the 1950's. In the process, several grave sites were dug up.

David Coughlin is a Lake Lanier historian. He believes most of the folklore surrounding the lake being haunted is linked to digging up the dead.

"On Lake Lanier, there's probably thousands of them and for a lot of the graves, they were so old," said Coughlin. "A lot of them didn't have names on them and were unknown and they still had to move them."

The unclaimed bodies. The restless spirits. Many believe they're still moving beneath the surface. Since Lake Lanier was built in 1956, experts say 675 people have died in these waters. Not all of the bodies have been found.

During the 5 years it took for the lake to completely fill to its intended water level, the government would buy up over 50,000 acres of prime farmland and pristine wilderness, moving more than 250 families, 15 businesses, and even relocating 20 cemeteries along with their corpses in the process. As the nooks and crannies of the mountain foothills filled with surging water, the inexorable spread of the lake devoured entire towns along with their buildings and houses, farmland, fields, bridges, toll gates, historical landmarks, river ferry businesses, a racetrack called Looper Speedway, country roads, forests, and other lakes. Many of the structures that would be inundated were simply left as is, so that if one were to walk along the lake?s bottom one would find submerged towns complete with roads, walls, and houses all eerily intact; abandoned underwater ghost towns inhabited only by fish and perhaps ghosts of the past. Even the ferries that were put out of business by the lake?s creation were simply abandoned to become rusting hulks littering the bottom and the shore.

There's a whole underwater TOWNS
