My grandfather was the Douglas county coroner in the 1950's and 60's in the Tahoe area. He told me stories about being called to two stories of bodies being recovered that were perfectly preserved. One was a man dressed in 1930's clothes and he thought it was a mob victim. The second was a little more strange. A fisherman brought up a body of a native American woman who had a dress that he thought was from probably the 1800's. It was the strangest thing he ever saw as a coroner.
Years ago, I stayed at " Harvey's " at Lake Tahoe. I was advise, this lake is so large, you could pour it's waters on the entire state of Texas and it would be 3 inches deep..
You could cover the entire state of California in 14" which would, Right now, be a great idea to get rid of the wokies and peedoughs that occupy SF and LA
The legend is that the native Americans starting 1000’s of years ago would use it as a graveyard they would take the bodies of the dead from their community and would prob weigh them down and would sink to the bottom and apparently it’s such a low temperature and deep lake 1400ft+ and being a high altitude lake the bodies would suspend and never float up but stay down so there would be just bodies suspended all over in certain areas. “Supposedly”
1:45 They can't be frozen solid. Water is it's densest at 39 degrees Fahrenheit. As water gets colder, it becomes less dense and rises to the surface. When ice forms on the surface of the lake, it insulates the lake keeping the lake from losing heat.
@@golddiggerboss people usually say tunnel for something dug on purpose, and cave for natural formations caused by erosion, so I’m gonna lean my guess towards man made as her intended meaning
I find this extremely interesting,due to depth of lake, the mafia connection, and especially that quote from Jaques Custeau. I heard he's quoted as saying after he returned from his dive in the lake.. "The world is not ready for what I've seen down there"..I'm paraphrasing here, he could be speaking of several factors here...intriguing as hell !!
Would have been nice if he specified what he was referring to. Many people think he was referencing a "lake monster", but in light of all the bodies the mafia threw into Tahoe, I believe Cousteau definitely meant all the bodies.
There is actually tunnels in the CalNeva in North Lake Tahoe, and there wasn’t a hermit on the island at Emerald Bay since it was owned by Ms. Knight back in the 19teens to the Great Depression since my grandmother knew Ms. Knight that owned Vikingsholm and the Island with the little building on top since my grandmother has her family cabin right above Emerald Bay here in South Lake Tahoe, CA
There is about 15 cubic miles of water in BOTH lake mead and Lake Powell. 36 cubic miles of water in Tahoe. I've often wondered how bad it would have to get before they tapped into that lake.
At hundreds of feet down ( over 300 or so) the gasses do not form in a body due to the lower temperature. It does not have to be freezing. A body would not form gasses and float up. Not many fish at 0ver 300 feet either to consume anything.
Its so deep the bodies are basically frozen. A body of a drown victim can be found 10 or more years and the body will be in the sane condition as it it only went in the water hours before.
My girlfriend’s father owned the cal nevia in the 90’s and there’s a lot of lore about the place. Perhaps the most fascinating thing was an item in the Indian room collection that was an ancient sword that was said to come from the east and gifted to the natives prior to Western European contact. It was never displayed it the Indian room but rather sat in Mr Bluth’s closet at home. It along with the other items displayed in the Indian room we said to have been acquired from a Native who played and won a lot of poker in Virginia City. It was said that he had taken many people for a lot of money and was killed by men who were trying to find his cash. May have been the Saddleridge cash but hard to say. At any rate the sword had been passed on for many generations but it couldn’t be verified when it had actually come to the continent. Apparently there are records with the Shaolin that say two of their swords went out and long ago and were not returned. The cal nevia remains closed and I’m not sure who owns it now or what’s become of this strange anomaly.
So there’s two types of dead bodies in Lake Tahoe. The first are from the 1800s when Chinese slaves built the railroads in the areas around Lake Tahoe. One guy would get weak or get injured on the slave drivers were just take them out and throw them into Lake Tahoe And get another slave. The second type of dead bodies are as depicted here enemies, or people that got into a bad way with the mobsters in the 40s 50s 60s and 70s.
Tahoe is 41 degrees below the surface mixing layers. I believe the water below 60-100ft does not exchange with the water in the first 60ft from the surface, which has varing temperatures including below freezing and above 70 degrees. I think the "frozen bodies" is more relevant to the time of year the body is pulled from the surface.
Classic. Interestingly the deepest part of Lake Tahoe is relatively close to the Cal Neva in North Lake Tahoe. Local sheriff departments only recently, in the past two years now, have cadaver diving machines that can locate and find drowning victims at several hundred feet in the lake. Not certain they will be exploring the depths to discover its secrets. The old Indian Stories told of the lake are incredible. You should book a talk with the Tahoe Basin Management, they could tell you a tell or two from the Indian legends.
I only have visit Lake Tahoe once and very recently (less than week ago). It is a good sized and deep lake without question, but it has been ran over with so many cameras and no bodies of Chinese rail workers, mobsters victims or even Tessie have been found. I can never spell his name right but the famous French diver supposedly went diving there and quoted “the world isn’t ready to know what I have seen” (or something to that effect) but whither or not he actual dove or even visit there has been debated. I know one missing diver was found 17 years after he drowned so there is still small chance that stories of drowned workers/mob victims still there but unlikely. Regardless though, I enjoy the stories about that place though 👍
@@Foxtucky Oh I know who it was, I just didn’t make attempt to try to spell his name. I’ve never gone scuba diving and probably won’t be able to due to ear problem but certainly enjoy watching RU-vid videos
You have to take this from a different book but I'm quite sure some of these Hitman where serial killers so you might have a different process other than regular hit in that area but. Higher concentration of serial killer so this going to be interesting to figure out
my dad would throw dead deer heads into our pond during winter for the fish to eat. by the time he pulled them out during spring they were all skull no meet. no way in hell there people will preserve in water, even cold water. it would have to be frozen solid or the fish will nibble away
Look up the Campbell family of North Bay, Ontario, Canada. I'm from the city. They were missing since the 60s and they were found in early 2010. They were perfectly preserved. It's possible my dude.
@@michaelclark7456 it says skeletal remains were found near their boat. I'm sure it's possible if there is no fish in the water but if there is fish, It is impossible. I promise you.
Im exploring the bottom ill let you know when i find the bodies. I have some reports of a mob body about 300ft deep im going to check out this summer. if you want to check out what im doing now here is my latest video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8notVllc1a8.html
