00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,000
On this episode of Expedition X, the team travels to Georgia to investigate reports of ghostly encounters in and around the world's most haunted lake.

2
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,000
The accidents continue to pile up.

3
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Locals believe this body of water is covering bodies below.

4
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,000
They essentially said that they dug up all the bodies, but they definitely did not.

5
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:37,000
And now, eyewitnesses are reporting sightings of the so-called Lady of the Lake,

6
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,000
and terrifying attacks from beyond the grave.

7
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000
It was pulling me underwater.

8
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
They're starting to push me closer, back to the edge.

9
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Tender stand by to recover divers.

10
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,000
My name is Josh Gates.

11
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:02,000
In my travels, I've experienced strange things that defy logic and made me question everything.

12
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Oh my God.

13
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Now, I've put together a team to investigate the stranger side of the unknown.

14
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Let's go!

15
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Phil Torres is a scientist who hunts for rational explanations.

16
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,000
This is a criminal who actually found cash notes.

17
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Jessica Chobot's paranormal research has made her a true believer.

18
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
There is a monster living in this forest.

19
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Phil, Phil, Phil.

20
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,000
I just saw something run across.

21
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Together, we're searching for answers to the world's most extraordinary mysteries.

22
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
This is Expedition X.

23
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,000
For today's investigation, guys, we're headed out to the lake.

24
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Sounds like fun, right?

25
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Yes.

26
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,000
It's not going to be fun.

27
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
That's because this is the lake.

28
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,000
It's a place called Lake Lanier, and it's actually a man-made body of water.

29
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
It was created in the 50s just north of Atlanta.

30
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Now, this lake has a rather ominous reputation.

31
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,000
It has some of the highest rates of boating accidents,

32
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
drownings, and disappearances anywhere in the country.

33
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,000
It is also a place that locals believe is notoriously haunted.

34
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Why is that?

35
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000
Well, it has everything to do with these red X's that you see on the map,

36
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,000
because it turns out that Lake Lanier was built on top of 20 cemeteries.

37
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
You do not mess with dead bodies.

38
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,000
We've all seen the movie.

39
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,000
We all know how it ends.

40
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,000
It does not end well.

41
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Wait, are there still bodies buried in these cemeteries,

42
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000
or did they move them before they flooded the lake?

43
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:44,000
The government claims that they tried to relocate all the bodies before creating the lake.

44
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,000
They tried.

45
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,000
They tried, but there are questions.

46
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
A lot of questions.

47
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Check it out.

48
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,000
It is 1947.

49
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,000
The Army Corps of Engineers announces a plan to divert the Chattahoochee River

50
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:05,000
to a rural region in northern Georgia and create a nearly 60-square-mile man-made lake.

51
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:10,000
It will ease flooding concerns, provide hydroelectric power and drinking water,

52
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,000
and a recreation area for the community.

53
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
But to accomplish this,

54
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000
the government will need to relocate several remote towns,

55
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:29,000
along with their houses, businesses, family farms, churches, and yes, 20 cemeteries.

56
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,000
It's this last item and the nearly 1,000 bodies contained in graves throughout the area

57
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,000
that proves the most problematic and controversial.

58
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
When the waters of the Chattahoochee flood the foothills and valleys,

59
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:49,000
locals question how or even if the bodies were properly exhumed and reinterred.

60
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Some say the lake is now cursed and strange accidents begin to plague the region.

61
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:02,000
One of these incidents is said to be the origin of Lake Lanier's most famous ghost.

62
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Delia Young and her friend Susie Roberts are driving home after a night out

63
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000
and approach a newly built bridge over the lake.

64
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000
According to legend, an invisible force grabs onto their car,

65
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:21,000
which loses control and plummets into the deep waters of Lake Lanier.

66
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Soon after, locals begin to report sightings of a ghostly young woman in a blue dress.

67
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Exactly what Delia was wearing the night she died.

68
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Since then, sightings of the so-called Lady of the Lake

69
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,000
have corresponded with accidents and disappearances in and around Lanier.

70
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000
A female phantom manifesting the power of the countless spirits

71
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,000
disturbed by the creation of the lake.

72
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,000
There you have it. This is considered the most haunted lake in the world.

73
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,000
There's so many sightings. There's actual apparitions.

74
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Incidents happen on this lake all the time.

75
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,000
How do you really feel, Jess?

76
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,000
It's haunted.

77
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,000
It's haunted. No question.

78
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Phil, I assume you agree wholeheartedly.

79
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Absolutely not. I'm sorry.

80
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000
But this is a man-made lake.

81
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000
The natural lakes have erosion.

82
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
The bottom of the lake is easier to navigate when you're boating around.

83
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Man-made lakes have really uncertain topography down there.

84
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
They just flooded this area so there could still be debris.

85
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,000
There could be strange currents.

86
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
There could be dead bodies.

87
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Phil, haven't you seen Poltergeist?

88
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,000
I have not.

89
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Oh, what?

90
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Phil, I don't want to ruin it for you, but they moved the headstones to their bodies.

91
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
I'll do some research before we go.

92
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Can we just pause for a minute while we make Phil watch this movie?

93
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,000
That was good, right?

94
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Amazing.

95
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,000
You're welcome.

96
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,000
And now you were saying?

97
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,000
I think the topography of what's underneath the lake could be a huge factor here.

98
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,000
It could create strange currents.

99
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,000
It could be very uneven so boats could run into it.

100
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000
I mean, this is very uncertain ground down there.

101
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
According to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources,

102
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,000
there are triple the amount of fatalities and accidents on this lake

103
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000
as the next most active lake in Georgia.

104
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,000
That's a huge difference.

105
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Do you think topography could account for all that?

106
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000
I think something can, and I think it's going to be a real world explanation.

107
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,000
I'm inclined to agree with you, but there are some stories here you're going to have to square off.

108
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000
It's not just in the lake.

109
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,000
People report paranormal encounters in the woods around the lake.

110
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,000
People have claimed to see the spirit of this woman in the blue dress,

111
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
in the cemeteries where the bodies were moved to, and in the lake itself.

112
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Swimmers report being attacked by some sort of unknown force.

113
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,000
So here's the mission.

114
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Get to Lake Lanier.

115
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Get on Lake Lanier.

116
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Heck, get in Lake Lanier.

117
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000
And see if you can figure out what's going on here.

118
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Talk to the locals.

119
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000
See if you can collect evidence firsthand.

120
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000
And find out.

121
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,000
Did the U.S. government creating this body of water desecrate these graves

122
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
and unleash some sort of paranormal terror?

123
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Or is it all just legends and superstition?

124
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,000
I'm telling you, this is the most haunted lake in the world.

125
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
All right. Prove it.

126
00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:00,000
The team travels 850 miles from New York City to Lake Lanier in northern Georgia.

127
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Just 50 miles north of Atlanta, this pristine body of water

128
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:11,000
known as Georgia's inland ocean, provides the tap water for nearly 6 million people.

129
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,000
Its water may be the elixir of life, but it's the depths in and around the lake

130
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000
that have drawn attention to it.

131
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Here we are. Lake Lanier.

132
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
It is crazy to think what's under there right now.

133
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Yeah, bodies.

134
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,000
People are getting hurt and dying on that lake.

135
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,000
The team is starting its investigation with eyewitness Rachel Sanders.

136
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,000
A few weeks ago, she was swimming in Lake Lanier

137
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,000
when she had an experience that she could only describe as paranormal.

138
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Can you walk us through it?

139
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
I was here training for a triathlon.

140
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,000
I've trained on this lake my whole life, and that day was something different.

141
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:58,000
I was swimming and kept hearing this shrill shriek.

142
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,000
And I felt this force.

143
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Something pulling me deeper into the water, and everything went black.

144
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
I woke up on the shore.

145
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,000
On this island, I had no idea how I got there.

146
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Then I saw a woman in the water, wearing a blue dress, and I was terrified.

147
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,000
I didn't want to go back in the water, so I went up to the high point of the island

148
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000
and tried to flag down some boats.

149
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,000
That to me sounds like it could be something like a crazy current.

150
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,000
No. No.

151
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,000
I've swam in this lake my entire life.

152
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,000
I've trained in it in worse conditions than it was that day,

153
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,000
and I've never felt so bad about it.

154
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,000
And you're sure it wasn't blue floating debris out in the water?

155
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,000
No. No. It's a day I won't forget.

156
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
And I remember a woman in a blue dress.

157
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,000
I can't fully explain Rachel's encounter, so Jess and I decide to secure a boat

158
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,000
and hit the water.

159
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:20,000
We make our way to the island where Rachel says she saw an apparition of a woman in a blue dress.

160
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Locals believe this lady of the lake is the manifestation of Delia Young,

161
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,000
one of the first victims of the lake after it was created.

162
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Hi, well this is it. This is the beach where Rachel woke up.

163
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Yeah. I think so.

164
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000
This is the beach where Rachel woke up.

165
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Yeah. I definitely think something happened to her here,

166
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,000
but I think we should take a look around this island and just see what we can come up with.

167
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Let's go.

168
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Let's see.

169
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Okay. Thank you.

170
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,000
All right.

171
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:06,000
We investigate the island, looking for anything that could explain Rachel's sighting of the apparition in a blue dress.

172
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Bill, I'm going to do an EMF sweep.

173
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000
An EMF detector measures electromagnetic fields,

174
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,000
and high readings are often associated with paranormal energy.

175
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,000
But EMF readings are well within normal ranges.

176
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Finally, we make our way back to the shoreline.

177
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,000
Oh, this water's cold.

178
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Yeah.

179
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Thinking of Rachel's story.

180
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,000
You're out here. It's November. It was cold out.

181
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,000
The sun was probably going down.

182
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,000
So I wonder if she just got so intensely cold that she actually hallucinated something.

183
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Training for a triathlon can be stressful on the body,

184
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,000
especially in November, when the water temperature can be as low as 45 degrees.

185
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Cold water lowers body temperature 25 times faster than cold air.

186
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,000
And hypothermia can begin after just five minutes in icy waters.

187
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,000
The veins in our extremities constrict.

188
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,000
The body's attempt to keep blood flow closer to the heart.

189
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:15,000
This reduced flow means a loss of coordination, extreme confusion, even hallucinations.

190
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,000
I mean, I suppose that's possible.

191
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:24,000
I hear you, but she's a trained athlete, and she lives on the lake, and she trains in the water.

192
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
She knows what she's getting into.

193
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Yeah.

194
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Rachel's strange experience on the lake is similar to countless others.

195
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,000
For decades, many have blamed the paranormal activity here

196
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:41,000
on the traumatic flooding of gravesites that the government was supposed to have relocated.

197
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Tomorrow morning, we plan to find out the truth once and for all.

198
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Hey, nice to meet you, Jessica.

199
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Nice to meet you.

200
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Bob.

201
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Nice to meet you.

202
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Yeah, great to finally meet you.

203
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Bob Kender has been a search and rescue diver in the area for more than four decades.

204
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:03,000
I've asked him and his team to help Phil make an extremely technical and dangerous dive.

205
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:08,000
The locations of the sunken graveyards in the bottom of Lake Lanier are extremely dangerous.

206
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
The location of the sunken graveyards in the bottom of Lake Lanier

207
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
is the most dangerous in the world.

208
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:18,000
The location of the sunken graveyards in the bottom of Lake Lanier are now heavily silted over.

209
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000
But at nearby Lake Jocasi, which was also artificially flooded,

210
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,000
Bob believes we may be able to reach the location of one of the cemeteries.

211
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:32,000
I mean, it seems like this one is the easiest access from shore and through diving.

212
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,000
If you're looking for a cemetery at this location,

213
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:41,000
our umbilicals, the surface supply gas will give us the best opportunity to get you to death.

214
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,000
So we're not going to put you in fins today. We're going to have you walking.

215
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,000
So what's going to happen is we're going to have you on an umbilical.

216
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,000
The umbilical is going to have video, lighting, it's going to have your air supply,

217
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,000
it's going to have communication.

218
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,000
No, I'll be able to talk to Phil at all.

219
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,000
You'll be able to talk to Phil, you'll see what Phil's seeing.

220
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,000
You can guide him. He's actually going to be like a human ROV.

221
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,000
You understand where we're at is right at 160 feet.

222
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,000
So to get down to this potential grave site, this isn't your typical dive.

223
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,000
No, it's not your typical dive. It's outside the normal sport diving limits.

224
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,000
You know, the depths here are going to be pushing the 160 plus mark.

225
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,000
Really?

226
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Yes.

227
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,000
There's many risks to the diver.

228
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:34,000
The team is in Georgia investigating what is known as the most haunted lake in the world, Lake Lanier.

229
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,000
This massive body of water is home to strange accidents,

230
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:43,000
disappearances, and even ghostly apparitions of the so-called Lady of the Lake.

231
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Many believe the source of the paranormal activity are the many cemeteries in this area that were submerged.

232
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,000
For decades there had been rumors that some of the burials were not relocated.

233
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:59,000
To get to the bottom of this mystery, Phil is preparing to get to the bottom of the lake bed.

234
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,000
The depths here are going to be pushing the 160 plus mark.

235
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Really?

236
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,000
Yes.

237
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,000
There's many risks to the diver.

238
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,000
We're going to have you in surface supply equipment, and we're going to protect you.

239
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,000
We need to worry about, because of the depth, nitrogen and arcosis.

240
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,000
What's that?

241
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:22,000
It's rapture of the deep. It's almost like you're being drunk off the air that we breathe here on the surface.

242
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,000
As someone who's spent a lot of time underwater in challenging conditions,

243
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,000
it isn't an environment where you can afford to be off your A-game.

244
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
I'm losing my grip.

245
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Current is terrible in here, just ripping us along the wall.

246
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Nitrogen and arcosis anesthetizes the brain, making victims feel and act disoriented.

247
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:49,000
It has been known to cause even experienced divers to make fatal mistakes.

248
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,000
So it looks like you'll be able to see everything I'm seeing.

249
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,000
We can record everything I'm hearing.

250
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000
We can stay in communication.

251
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,000
You know where we're trying to go, so I feel like we've got a pretty good plan here.

252
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,000
I think we're set up at the exact spot you need to be.

253
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Okay, let's do it.

254
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Sounds good.

255
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Okay Phil, now you're going to be with Ben, but you've got to stay with him.

256
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,000
We're going to be putting in commercial dive gear.

257
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,000
You're making a deep dive approximately 150 feet, and you're right on the edge.

258
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,000
If you go over the edge, instead of 150 feet, the next stop is 300 feet.

259
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,000
So this is dangerous to dive for?

260
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,000
It can be very dangerous.

261
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Because I'll be so heavily weighted, I'll actually be walking along a steep underwater slope

262
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,000
near the edge of a perilous drop-off.

263
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,000
That's why I'll be down there with the safety diver, Ben Stanfield.

264
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Come down, shake your head in Ben.

265
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,000
I've been diving all over the world for nearly a decade,

266
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,000
but this is one of the more technical dives I've attempted.

267
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,000
I'm definitely feeling the nerves as I enter the water.

268
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Jess will be manning the camera and audio recorder from above.

269
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,000
Hey, how are you doing in there?

270
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,000
I'm doing good.

271
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,000
You sound good.

272
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,000
So cool, I am literally looking underwater through your eyes.

273
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Hey, you're almost at 50 feet right now.

274
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,000
It's starting to pour up here.

275
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:30,000
Winds are picking up too, so that might actually affect the push and pull underwater.

276
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Alright, you guys are at 130.

277
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,000
See this?

278
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Look at this.

279
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,000
What is it?

280
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,000
It's a brook.

281
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,000
Oh yeah, I see it.

282
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,000
Wow.

283
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Kind of looks like maybe it hit something on the front end and then just shot.

284
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,000
You guys are really close from where the cemetery is supposed to be,

285
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,000
so let's start looking around for other stuff too, but that is an awesome find.

286
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Yeah, it's gotta be anywhere around here.

287
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Hang on, we got something down here.

288
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Look at all these rocks.

289
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,000
See them, Jess?

290
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,000
I need you to get a little closer.

291
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Hey, we got a tombstone.

292
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Right here.

293
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Oh, I see him, I see him, I see him.

294
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Oh my gosh.

295
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,000
You can see that this area was definitely part of this grave.

296
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,000
I mean Jess, this is incredible.

297
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,000
It doesn't look like they've dug up.

298
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Bodies are still buried underneath the flooded lake.

299
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,000
There's our proof that they did not get the bodies out of that area before they flooded it.

300
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,000
Exactly.

301
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:19,000
I'm sure the dead were pretty low on the list and this is evidence.

302
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:25,000
The tombstones suggest that people buried here weren't properly moved,

303
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,000
which many believe is the cause of the paranormal activity.

304
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:34,000
I want to conduct a unique call and response to see if we can capture any EVPs

305
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,000
or electronic voice phenomena from the spirits.

306
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Or I should say, I want Phil to do it for me.

307
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:46,000
So I need you to turn on your external mic so that we can capture sounds underwater.

308
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,000
The mic is on.

309
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Are there spirits down here that have been disrupted?

310
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,000
Are there any spirits down here that have been disrupted?

311
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,000
I'm killing them inside to do this.

312
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,000
Is there anything you would like to express regarding your burial site?

313
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,000
Is there anything you would like to express regarding your burial site?

314
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Ask, are you upset with the creation of the lake?

315
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Are you upset with the creation of the lake?

316
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:43,000
There's just a lot of silk that has come up. It might be that current.

317
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Visibility starting to get worse? Do you need a little bit more light?

318
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000
I'm getting really close to the edge.

319
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,000
You're starting to push me closer. Back to the edge.

320
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Okay, you're at 165.

321
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,000
You're at 165. If you're starting to feel weird, you've got to let us know right away

322
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,000
because we're getting a little concerned you're getting too deep.

323
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Hey, Phil, are you seeing any other tombstones?

324
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:13,000
We were sent there for the last minute. It's a little risky to be exploring down that way.

325
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,000
See if you can go the other way. I want to see if you can find anything else in the other direction.

326
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Coming up on 170.

327
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Coming up on 170.

328
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,000
I can't go the other way.

329
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,000
The current is moving towards the ground floor. It's too strong.

330
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:34,000
It's looking like it's getting real silty and cloudy down there.

331
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Phil, do you copy?

332
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Are you feeling any narcosis, little funky stuff right now?

333
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,000
He's not responding. I don't like this. Let's get him back up right now.

334
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:56,000
Okay. Hey, Phil, this dive supervisor is looking deeper than I think you should be.

335
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Tender standby to recover divers.

336
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:10,000
The team is conducting an underwater investigation near Lake Lanier in Georgia,

337
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,000
and they've just discovered an underwater gravesite.

338
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:21,000
But Phil is now at a depth of more than 165 feet and not responding to calls from above.

339
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:27,000
Phil's not responding. I don't like this. I want to pull him up.

340
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Okay. Hey, Phil, this dive supervisor is looking deeper than I think you should be.

341
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,000
Tender standby to recover divers.

342
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,000
Phil, Phil, be careful.

343
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,000
One round step and you're still all the way down.

344
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Alright, I got you, Phil.

345
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Okay.

346
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Yes, come here. Yes, come here.

347
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Okay, let's walk in.

348
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,000
Everybody, bad. Bad.

349
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Hold him down. Sit.

350
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Okay.

351
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,000
Who's got Phil? Who's got Phil?

352
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,000
I want him to down one full water real quick the amount of time he was down.

353
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Watch out for the duck.

354
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Hey. How you feeling?

355
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:34,000
I am dizzy right now. My head is, uh, I'm out of it.

356
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,000
I'm out of stress.

357
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,000
It is really eerie down there. I just...

358
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:45,000
All I could really tell was that there was just this wall of darker water.

359
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,000
And that current kicked in. I'll never forget that.

360
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,000
I mean, I was sliding down. It was...

361
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:55,000
It took all my effort just to keep my footing, just to keep from continuing to go over that edge.

362
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,000
And I know we were right at the limit of our depth.

363
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000
I'm very happy you're safe.

364
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:05,000
But on the flip side, can you believe we found a graveyard?

365
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,000
And it looked so, like, undisturbed.

366
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,000
And that's just one. I mean, look how big this lake is.

367
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:16,000
I am positive that there are multiple undisturbed grave plots out there.

368
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,000
Yeah.

369
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:26,000
Jess believes the discovery of these underwater graves could explain much of the paranormal phenomena being reported around Lake Lanier.

370
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:33,000
That activity is most often manifested in the presence of the so-called Lady of the Lake.

371
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:41,000
A woman named Delia Young, who, along with her friend Suzy Roberts, fatally crashed her car into the lake in 1958.

372
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:48,000
The team previously met a local woman who claimed to see the ghost of Delia in her blue dress in the water.

373
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,000
But the vast majority of the sightings are reported, where else?

374
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,000
At the cemetery.

375
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:59,000
A cemetery headed up by a guy whose name probably ensured he'd end up in this line of work.

376
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Alright, so we're going to Alta Vista Cemetery.

377
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:09,000
I want to check out the Ladies of the Lake's Graves, and we're going to talk to Tommy Casper.

378
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Sorry. Casper? This is him?

379
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Yeah.

380
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,000
And he works at a graveyard?

381
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Yes.

382
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Is he friendly?

383
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,000
He's definitely friendly.

384
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,000
Hi.

385
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,000
Hi, Jessica. Nice to meet you.

386
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,000
Come this way, and I'll show you Suzy Roberts Grave.

387
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,000
This here is Suzy Roberts Grave.

388
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,000
She is one of the two Ladies of the Lake, Lake Lanier.

389
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:47,000
As you can see here, one monument says that she went missing, and then they placed the other monument when she was found.

390
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Wow.

391
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,000
Died April, 1958, found November, 1990.

392
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,000
Right.

393
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Suzy Roberts was in a car with Delia Young when they crashed into the lake in 1958.

394
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:05,000
But in the weeks after the mysterious accident, searchers were unable to find their bodies or the car.

395
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Fast forward to a little more than a year after the crash.

396
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,000
That's when a local fisherman makes a gruesome discovery.

397
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,000
A human body floating in the lake.

398
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,000
The remains are severely decomposed and can't be identified.

399
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,000
The body is eventually laid to rest in an unmarked grave.

400
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:31,000
Whether it belonged to Suzy or Delia is a question that wouldn't be answered until one fateful day in 1990.

401
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,000
How were they able to identify her in 1990?

402
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:45,000
While they were constructing a span across Lake Lanier around 1990, one of the pieces of heavy equipment struck the sedan that they went off the road in.

403
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:52,000
When they pulled the car up, they found the remains through jewelry that Suzy had on.

404
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,000
They were able to identify her.

405
00:25:54,000 --> 00:26:00,000
And then once they found Suzy, they just kind of tied things together, and that's when they realized this was Delia.

406
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,000
So the body they found floating in the lake in 1959 was Delia.

407
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Wow.

408
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Well, son, then what did they do when it came time to flood Lanier?

409
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:13,000
What did they do with the grave sites that were in the graveyards down there?

410
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,000
I do not know that.

411
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,000
Spotty records.

412
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Do you know of any here?

413
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:25,000
I have heard that we had some burials from where the lake was going to be flooded, brought here.

414
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:30,000
They essentially said that they dug up all the bodies, but they definitely did not.

415
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:36,000
So it seems like some have been moved, some have been moved and identified, some have been just left under the water.

416
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,000
It's pretty much like the lake, a little murky.

417
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:48,000
Although paranormal sightings occur all around the lake, it's here, at the cemetery, where they are reported most often.

418
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:55,000
I was able to track down a man who just 12 days ago had an experience here that left him shaken and confused.

419
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,000
Hi.

420
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,000
Hi.

421
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,000
Yeah, thanks for meeting with us.

422
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,000
He agrees to share his story if we agree to conceal his identity.

423
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:08,000
I don't really believe in any of the lake stories, or I didn't tell just a couple weeks ago.

424
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,000
So what kind of activity have you had or experienced here?

425
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,000
That's when I was crossing through the cemetery to get home.

426
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:23,000
It was late, and right when I got to the edge of the woods, I heard what I thought was howling, sort of like parodies.

427
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,000
But then I realized it was screaming.

428
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:34,000
It was really weird, and definitely not something that was just nature.

429
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:42,000
And then I saw a woman wearing a blue grass, and then the blink of an eye she was gone.

430
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,000
I've never been someone to believe in ghosts, but something was there.

431
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,000
Well, we should actually check things out right here.

432
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,000
The ladies of the lake are buried here. This is where we need to be.

433
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:10,000
The witness's story is consistent with other reports I've heard about Delia's ghost.

434
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,000
But we need to capture evidence.

435
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:19,000
Using a highly sensitive audio recorder, I'll be calling out to Delia and any of the other spirits of Lake Linear.

436
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,000
Alright.

437
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,000
If anything happens, walk in me.

438
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,000
Sounds good.

439
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:37,000
I'm using the thermal camera along the perimeter of the cemetery, looking for wildlife or any other possible explanations for sightings in the area.

440
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Starting call and response, this is Jessica. Will you talk with me?

441
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:52,000
Okay.

442
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:02,000
If there's anyone here whose graves were disturbed by Lake Linear, now's your time to have your say.

443
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000
Delia, are you there?

444
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Can you reach out to me?

445
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Can you give me a sign?

446
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:32,000
Jessica and Phil are conducting an overnight investigation in a cemetery that contains the remains of the so-called Lady of the Lake, Delia Young.

447
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:39,000
It's also where a number of eyewitnesses have reported seeing her spirit wandering in her blue dress.

448
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,000
Delia, if you're here, can you reach out to me?

449
00:29:52,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Phil, I just started asking questions to Delia and right when I said, Delia, are you there? Reach out to me?

450
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,000
I think I got a response.

451
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,000
Should I come find you?

452
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,000
Yeah, come find me.

453
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,000
Look for my flashlight. I'm going to head towards the woods.

454
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,000
Delia, if you're there, can you reach out to me?

455
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Can you reach out to me?

456
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,000
Okay, that's weird. This must have been the sound I heard.

457
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,000
These chimes are going crazy and they're still moving and there is no wind.

458
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,000
What's going on?

459
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,000
So what I was doing was calling a response to Delia and the wind chimes went off.

460
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Do you see anything on the thermal?

461
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Maybe it was an animal or a bird or something.

462
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,000
We just scan a bit.

463
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,000
Just scan a little bit.

464
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,000
This is dense in here.

465
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,000
Delia, was that you making the chimes swing?

466
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Nothing right now.

467
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Is that a cross?

468
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Oh yeah, yes it is.

469
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,000
Wait, there's two crosses. One over here.

470
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,000
Oh, I didn't even see this.

471
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:30,000
One here, one here. Wow.

472
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,000
Do you think it was one of the bodies that was moved?

473
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:44,000
I have no idea, but just think about it. That cemetery back there was so official.

474
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,000
Tombstones and everything, everything looked completely well documented.

475
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Over here, we have like two old pieces of wood.

476
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,000
Well, why don't we do a call and response down here?

477
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,000
And I'd also like to set up the IR wireless system.

478
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,000
I'm setting up three infrared cameras to conduct an experiment.

479
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:08,000
Earlier, when I called out to Delia, I heard the distinct sound of wind chimes.

480
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:14,000
With zero wind tonight, the question is whether an animal could have set them off.

481
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:20,000
Since our thermal camera found no sign of any animals, my money is on Delia.

482
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:30,000
Alright, I got the camera system initialized. Everything's about to go online here in just a second.

483
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,000
Okay, Phil, how's that?

484
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,000
Alright, cameras are online.

485
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:46,000
If it was Delia who responded to me, then maybe she's ready to come out in the open and show herself with the help of a trigger object.

486
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,000
A blue dress similar to the one she was wearing the night she died.

487
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Delia, are you here?

488
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Were you trying to signal me earlier?

489
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,000
Was that you making the chimes swing?

490
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:14,000
I brought you a dress in your favorite color. I put it on the ground over there. Do you want to try it on?

491
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,000
My name is Jessica. Delia, are you here? Will you talk with me?

492
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:38,000
Now Jess, I'm getting some movement.

493
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Unless I'm crazy, the arm of the dress just moved a little bit.

494
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,000
That makes no sense. There's no breeze.

495
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,000
It was the right arm of the dress.

496
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,000
Alright.

497
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,000
This one?

498
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,000
Yep, that's the arm. That one right there.

499
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:08,000
I don't know, maybe something was moving on the ground under the dress.

500
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,000
How did it move?

501
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,000
There's a slow movement, but...

502
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Maybe it entered you off the ground.

503
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,000
You scared the sh** out of me. Sorry.

504
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,000
What happened?

505
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,000
My flashlight just got knocked over by itself.

506
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,000
I'm kind of freaked out over here.

507
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,000
I mean, I'm over here right now and there's no breeze whatsoever.

508
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,000
I don't know. I think they only have...

509
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:44,000
Holy s**t!

510
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,000
Did you hear that?

511
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,000
It sounded like a scream. I'm gonna go after it.

512
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,000
Right behind me, right back there somewhere.

513
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Hey, look over here.

514
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Did you see something on your throat?

515
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,000
Did you hear that?

516
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,000
Is that coyotes?

517
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,000
I don't think that was coyotes.

518
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,000
Oh, wait.

519
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,000
The lake that Phil and Jessica are investigating just north of Atlanta

520
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:36,000
was built around the same time as another man-made lake on the other side of the world.

521
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,000
One that was also associated with strange phenomena.

522
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,000
Lake Kuriba straddles the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe,

523
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,000
and when it was filled in the late 1950s,

524
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,000
it became the world's largest man-made lake by volume.

525
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:56,000
Almost immediately, locals claimed there was something strange about this unnatural lake.

526
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,000
They even blamed it for a series of powerful earthquakes that swept through the region.

527
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:06,000
So, was this a case of angry spirits making their displeasure known?

528
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,000
In this case, no.

529
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,000
Because it turns out the locals were correct.

530
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,000
The lake was likely to blame for the earthquakes.

531
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,000
Geologists theorized that the lake's more than 200 billion tons of water

532
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,000
created seismic disturbances felt up to 100 miles away.

533
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,000
It just goes to show that redirecting that much water is gonna have an impact

534
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,000
with or without paranormal activity.

535
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,000
Did you see something on your throat?

536
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,000
What?

537
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,000
Did you hear that?

538
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,000
Is that coyotes?

539
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,000
I don't think that was coyotes again.

540
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,000
Jess and Phil are in a Georgia cemetery investigating the paranormal reports

541
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,000
of a spirit known as the Lady of the Lake.

542
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,000
After witnessing a series of strange events,

543
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:57,000
they hear what sounds like a female scream in the woods.

544
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,000
It is colder over here.

545
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,000
Yeah, it is colder over here.

546
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Listen.

547
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,000
Do you hear it anymore?

548
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,000
Wow, we're at the lake.

549
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,000
There we go.

550
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,000
We are right at the water.

551
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,000
Look at that.

552
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000
That's Delia.

553
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,000
The whole time she's been having us come down here.

554
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Where Rachel and others have said they've seen Delia's spirit.

555
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:41,000
I mean, we had the chimes go off by the edge of the forest

556
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,000
when I was doing the call and response with Delia.

557
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:48,000
Delia, if you're here, can you reach out to me?

558
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,000
You told me the dress moved.

559
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,000
Yeah, and it could have been the wind.

560
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,000
What was that sound?

561
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,000
Do you hear that?

562
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,000
Leading us to what?

563
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,000
To the lake.

564
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,000
I get it. It's a weird coincidence.

565
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,000
I feel like there's something out here.

566
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,000
Delia, are you here?

567
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,000
While Jess now conducts a call and response next to the lake where Delia died,

568
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,000
I scanned the shoreline with the thermal camera.

569
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,000
We searched for another two hours,

570
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:28,000
to pick up any unexpected temperature fluctuations or additional mysterious sounds.

571
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:33,000
We head back into the woods to retrieve our infrared cameras for analysis.

572
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:43,000
With the sun coming up, the team is eager to review their evidence.

573
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,000
Alright. Okay.

574
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,000
Wow.

575
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:55,000
The underwater discovery of graves seems to confirm that not everything was relocated

576
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,000
before this region was flooded.

577
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,000
Hey, we got cobstones!

578
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:04,000
That to me says a lot of the rumors from the past are true here.

579
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,000
People talk about there being unexcavated graves.

580
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,000
There you go. I mean, clearly this wasn't excavated.

581
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,000
So somebody had a job to do, but they didn't do it.

582
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:17,000
Jessica has enhanced the audio from their underwater call and response

583
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,000
and turned up an intriguing result.

584
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,000
There's something I want you to listen to.

585
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:31,000
Are you upset with the creation of the lake?

586
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,000
Isn't that weird?

587
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,000
It is a little weird.

588
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:44,000
I mean, it's hard to tell for sure, but to me it sounds like voices.

589
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,000
Have you ever heard anything like that before?

590
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:51,000
You know, I will say in a big lake the sound of a distant motor could be weird,

591
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,000
but I can't place it.

592
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:58,000
So for last night's investigation, this is the footage that I downloaded off the IR cam.

593
00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,000
Okay.

594
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000
And this is camera three.

595
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,000
See that?

596
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:07,000
You are not kidding. There it is!

597
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,000
Oh my God.

598
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,000
That is super weird.

599
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,000
When you were telling me about this, I expected something pretty subtle.

600
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,000
I mean, her arm's moving.

601
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,000
And then my flashlight fell over.

602
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,000
That's weird, right?

603
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:27,000
There's just too many strange things that have happened on Lake Linear

604
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,000
to write this off as anything less than paranormal phenomenon.

605
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:35,000
And I believe this is all occurring because of the total mishandling

606
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,000
of gravesites in bodies back in the 1950s.

607
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,000
What I saw at the bottom of the lake with those graveyards,

608
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,000
that will stick with me the rest of my life.

609
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,000
So I will give you this, Jess.

610
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:50,000
If there is any lake that could be haunted, it's probably Lake Linear.

611
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:54,000
I'll take it, but I absolutely think it's haunted.

612
00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:02,000
Whether the many accidents and strange occurrences around Lake Linear

613
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:10,000
are paranormal or just unlucky coincidences depends on what you believe.

614
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:14,000
We now know this region is home to submerged burials

615
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:18,000
and a long history of eye-witness encounters.

616
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:22,000
So if you happen to be swimming here or walking late at night,

617
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,000
be sure to stay alert.

618
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,000
You might just be the next person to meet the Lady of the Lake.
