Trying something a bit different here, Lake Lanier has resulted in the loss of over 500 people since it was first created back in the 1950s. Yet other lakes around it that receive a similar amount of people just do not seem to have the same issues. Some have said they have seen a lady of the lake dragging people in but could it actually be something located just below the surface thats the real issue? Lets find out! Thank you for watching Roanoke Tales and I hope you enjoy The Dark and Deadly History of Lake Lanie

Invisible arms dragging you down, a sunken city, and the lady of the lake are just a few of the tales that lurk beneath the surface of Georgia’s Lake Lanier.

This man made reservoir has been suspect since the beginning of its conception. 

Hanna, a Georgia native, has heard all the stories and even swam herself in the green waters. Dive into the sorted history and chicken eating catfish with us.

About an hour outside of Atlanta, Georgia, Lake Lanier beckons millions of tourists every year. People come from all over the country and the world to boat, swim, and play in the lake's expansive waters. But a shockingly high number of these tourists will never leave the lake. Today, we explore the lake's mysterious deaths and long and sinister history. Is it the legendary lady of the lake, grabbing swimmers and pulling them to their deaths? Is it the trauma of the horrific history, marking the doomed spot for eternity? Is it the deadly combo of a few too many Natty Lights and motorized vessels? Tune in and let us know what you think about the tragedies of Lake Lanier. Before the episode is over, Elise helps us transition from Halloween season to general fall spookiness with a delicious pumpkin loaf. 

Happy Haunting! 

Georgia's Lake Lanier is one of the deadliest in the U.S., and while some claim the high death rate is due to the large number of visitors each year, Mark and Lisa ponder if Lanier's shady history could be the cause of so many deaths.
