Speedboats cut across the surface, families picnic on the shores, and millions flow into the local economy. But beneath this postcard-perfect image lies a disturbing reality locals whisper about: a staggering death toll exceeding 500 lives since its creation, far surpassing comparable lakes. Why is Georgia's most popular reservoir also one of its deadliest?Dive beneath the waves into Lake Lanier's dark history. Discover the story of Oscarville, a thriving Black community violently destroyed in 1912, its remnants submerged decades later when the lake was filled – a "second burial" beneath 160 feet of water. Learn about the forced displacement of hundreds of families, the demolition of homes, and the controversial relocation of cemeteries, leaving behind a treacherous underwater landscape of hidden structures, debris, and potentially unmarked graves.Explore the chilling connection between these submerged hazards, the lake's alarming fatality rate, and persistent paranormal legends.

50 States of Folklore - Hawaii: The Eternal March

Distant drums and conch shells on the Hawaiian breeze... could it be the Huaka'i Pō, the Night Marchers? The chilling legend of spectral processions of ancient Hawaiian warriors said to march across the islands by moonlight is explored. These ghostly aliʻi (chiefs) and soldiers eternally guard sacred sites, enforce ancient kapu (laws), and tread paths once reserved for royalty.   Specific locations known for Night Marcher activity, like Oahu's Pali Highway, hold tales, alongside traditional warnings: avoid eye contact, lie face down, and never interrupt their path. The cultural significance of the Huaka'i Pō legend, its roots in pre-contact Hawaiian society, and how belief in these spectral guardians persists today are considered. Are they protectors of sacred ground, echoes of historical battles, or something more?

One of America's oldest and most haunting mysteries unfolds.

The Great Pyramids of Giza stand as timeless monuments, yet they harbor profound mysteries that challenge conventional history.

Dyatlov Pass

The desolate Ural Mountains of Soviet Russia hold one of the 20th century's most baffling unsolved cases: the Dyatlov Pass incident. In February 1959, nine experienced young hikers were found dead under bizarre and terrifying circumstances near their campsite on Kholat Syakhl, or "Dead Mountain." This episode reconstructs their final journey.Why did the hikers frantically cut their way out of their tent from the inside, fleeing into the sub-zero wilderness inadequately dressed? The perplexing evidence found by search teams is examined: the scattered bodies, the strange injuries inconsistent with hypothermia (including severe internal trauma, missing eyes, and a missing tongue ), and traces of radioactivity. The myriad theories attempting to explain their fate range from the official (and recently re-affirmed) slab avalanche theory  to katabatic winds, infrasound-induced panic, secret military weapons tests, and even encounters with unknown creatures.
