Real Horror: The Dark and Deadly History of Lake Lanier

Thanks for watching guys! let me know what you thought

Seminole and Cherokee are off branches of what is known as Cree (Creek Indians) nation.

I swam Lake Lanier often, out to islands. Tough feat, for many. That lake is a life taker, and currently being used to take life, as the river dammed to make it served south Alabama and majority of Florida...Atlanta is restricting water rights.

Good ole Amerikkka 🖕🏾🖕🏾

It doesn't sound like the land was ever cursed. It sounds like white people arrived to terrorize the other people there lol.

There ain't no ghost, they are the ancestors of brown folks that have spirit's and souls, that can make themselves look like yall people, so truly the brown folks are not happy when alot of yall just go there and just hanging around, and I'll do the same thing if yall are disturbing and yall not indigenous to this life either🌌🔥👁👀👸🏿🤴🏾👸🏾🤴🏿👵🏿👴🏾👵🏾👴🏿🧜🏿‍♀️🧜🏾‍♂️🧜🏾‍♀️🧜🏿‍♂️🐲👿👹

You should look into Thailand old creepy, scary Folklore and the likes.

this was really interesting to me as i am currently working with a school and a museum to cover the history and superstitions of the lake.

Just a thought: I've always wondered if bull sharks would ever be found far inland eventually. They've been found in the canals of central Florida and they have the ability to live in fresh water. I think Lanier is connected to the sea by the Chattahoochee connecting to Flint river that empties into the Gulf of Mexico.

Nasty yt censorship ruined this video. I didnt finish watching, gave it👎👎

They drowned a city of black people to created this lake that’s why it’s so haunted

What's with audio glitch?

CrEepY!!!

Racism is dumb.

Bro your channel fuckin kicks ass I'm glad I found it

What r all those fuzzy sounding words? Oh, its rape! People arent stupid infants that they need the word "rape" blocked out. Save it for the "real infants", 1 years old and below.
Thanks.

His version is watered down, I don’t like it so no need to finish to video😕

Water. Wendigo.

Listen folks. IT'S THE GHOSTS OF OUR DESCEASED ANCESTORS WHO IS NOT AT REST AND THEY ARE ANGRY BECAUSE OF WHAT THOSE WHITE PEOPLE DID!!!!

Deliverance.........one of the all time greatest movies. Similar thing with Lanier. Flood an old town with water and bad things happen. "Do you ever look across a lake and wonder what's buried beneath it?" Lewis Medlock

No it's devine payback😢😮

More story less chatter plz and thanks nice video but little too much chatter in the beginning but good presentation overall bravo sir on your 1st research 📹 bravo keep it going I'm here for if I live history you have a nice voice cadence and all but to chatty in the beginibgbesides that A+++++++❤❤

Why all the interruptions to the audio?

I enjoyed this! I’m enjoying this real life content over the creepy pasta content - keep it up imo :)

I love both of your channels Roanoke. keep up the good work man.

I'm more boyant than some life jackets, and been a consistant swimmer since I was 3 days old. I still stay tf away from water I can't see the bottom, unless I am very familiar with the area, or a boat/flotation function is involved (e.g. water skiing with a lifejacket. Canoeing, or rafting in a life jacket.)

Being a good swimmer means being safe and aware. Otherwise, you're just an especially wet idiot.

Shortly before being wiped out for climate displacement, mass medias will spread the stories of negative things done to the areas indigenous people by the ancestors of the historical agents.
It's a pattern.

I know im 8 months late to this, but have they never brought out sonar devices of any type to get a picture of what's below the water in the murk?

Stupid sound every time you say rape - stupid

Catfish, it's always catfish.

Metro ATL sprawl produces such a huge number of people going to Lake Lanier that the number of ppl who die there seems high but it’s really not…statistically. I heard growing up that 11 people a year disappear into the lake. Drive another hour and 20 min. And go to Hartwell.

I’m a state champion fisherman that lives maybe 2 minutes from the lake and have spent countless hours on the lake without any severe issues, I chalk it up to inexperience and over confidence along with the lakes tourist attraction

Lake Lanier, Haunting History, Souls Not at Rest…

It is not the weight of the salt that makes a person more buoyant, it is the density of the water.

I like the history part and the creepy stuff.

I remember one time swimming a little bit off the assigned area for recreation and I’m a great swimmer I probably was around 14 I felt the current pulling me down so fast the only thing I could do was let it carry me down all the way and used my legs to push my self up again !! I felt a root scrape me it’s was scary but this is why people die they try to fight the current and quickly get tired i thank god I didn’t die but since that day I never swim there again

I stay out of Lanier always

Why on earth would anyone wanna swim in it knowing what’s in there? The toxins in that lake have to be disgusting! All those eroded structures and decomposed bodies! Yuck 🫤

I grew up at played at Lake Lanier constantly, my brother got violently ill once from accidentally swallowing some of the lake water. Its also where my family held my cousins funeral last year. I didn't grow up hearing scary stories or anything of the sort growing up about it, we were simply told not to swim out too far, don't eat anything you catch, and that theres a city down there.

I work and live there and several people die there every week

What’s with the white noise blocking some words?

You cannot perpetuate an evil act like thiswithout there being any consequences.

Had to go! I got tired of audio breaking up!!!

Thank you for this video.

So my home town is Cleveland, locals know not to swim in Lanier, not only is it haunted, but the water is incredibly polluted. Towards the bottom of the lake there is an odd layer of suspended silt which is another reason why you can't see anything in the lake. If you wanna have material for a true story talk about the blood mountain serial killer in the 90's it involves the Dawson forest nuclear testing facility. Oh and not to mention when i was a kid in the early 2000's crossing over clarks bridge before it was torn downnto make a new one, when the water was low you could see the tops of about 50 trees still standing.

I blew a load into this lake when I was 17 and I've never been the same

A ghost dragged my uncle under and he drowned. Having the best day of his life drinking 30 Buds and boom. 🧟‍♂️

Fresh water sharks is another danger!!!

Great video!
