I still work by the lake. It’s not haunted, but I hope everyone is reading these drowning stories and learning from them.
I’m sitting here looking at the constantly updated lake level, in the area I’m in. It’s currently 1,063 ft, and this isn’t the deepest point of what used to be a large valley.
Do NOT go swimming in rivers and lakes without floatation devices, also don’t swim/boat/jet ski drunk. This is the reason for virtually all of lake laniers deaths (outside of parking accidents and some suicides).
Also make sure you aren’t alone to the point of no one being able to hear you being in trouble.
Be extremely careful about where you swim. There’s still a city and a forest under the lake. It’s full of old debris that can easily hurt you or drag you under. It’s even worse during drought conditions.
