The Ghost Stories of Lake Lanier 

Tell about the black towns underneath

I like how he says, Something happened in 1902. I don’t remember exactly what” If you’re going to talk about it, do your research. Don’t make light of something so horrible. Research Oscarville. The year was 1912. This was a very successful black community of over 1,000 people during the reconstruction period after the civil war. The town was burned to the ground and people were lynched and many drowned because they were told to swim or die while being forced out of their homes due to an alleged rape of an 18 year old white girl from a nearby town. As you see your story your way, I see the story as another instance of hate and jealousy that has always plagued this country whether against different races or within a race. It’s a wonder the whole continent isn’t haunted with all the violence and hatred this country was founded upon. Sad.

Watered down story tell about the flooding of the black towns

Wrong . Tell the truth of the black city that’s underneath

Do these people know the TRUE history of Lake Lanier? If so then you should not be surprised at the eeriness or unsettledness of the lake.

5:36-5:47 so he’s confirming he’s also full of shit. You don’t believe the person telling you the truth about lake Lanier yet you don’t want to test this theory yourself. Typical.

There’s an all black town underneath lake Lanier, the night rider came & they were forced out, hung, & most drowned… RIP to the people of Oscarville

I have fished at Lake Lanier pretty consistently. However, you will NEVER see me stepping foot in that water. Some of the people who have drowned have been young, active individuals who just go under in wide open, unimpeded water. There's no physical obstructions weighing them down. The water just feels thick and they can't make it back to the surface. Even experienced swimmers and divers have refused to go in this lake, and I believe for good reason.

Let’s go I love ghost stories!!!!

It’s the black people of Oscarville!

They built this lake on top of an entire town where bad shit happened, and also on top of like a dozen cemeteries. Native Americans who lived in the area where the lake was made were forced out and sent onto the Trail of Tears as well. It's super fucking haunted!

All those burials are the original black indians

I lived on Lanier for over 30 yrs .night boating , slept on some park beaches ,night fishing etc. Never had any strange encounter. The last few yrs we got some leaches on us so there's that

Oscarville an African American then is submerged in water as well as native American burial grounds there are many things underneath the surface.

3 towns were flooded by Forsyth county to create a dam for electro power grid look it up the to towns were terrorized the all the land owners were disinfranchised from their homes, businesses and arcres and acres of land look it up its all over RU-vid and there is a movie coming out

Do a update on the new deaths

I got turned on to lake Lanier when I saw an episode of disappeared and there was the young man in his early 20’s who lived on lake Lanier with his father and he stated that his son suddenly felt drawn to the lake and would zone out while staring at it acting weird, (if I remember this correctly, I could be wrong about the details but the end result is the same and he was drawn to it more so than ever before nonetheless,) he also told a lot of the folklore and I’m just hooked

“Before the lake was created “😉

Tell the truth about the massacre of the towns people in Oscarville

Sooo I saw another video on Lanier. Apparently a year after the car crash with the two ladies, a body came up. But it was in the 50s, they couldn’t figure out who it was. 30 years later they find the car, and Susie was in it… so they assume the body that was found in the 50s was Parker. 🤷🏻‍♀️ both bodies were found, just 30 years apart.

Where did he get this story from ? 😂😂😂😂 Smh

Somebody was electrocuted to death there the other day at lake lanier

I've been there at midnight in 1998 . fishing with my friend Brandon and seen some crazy stuff . I've not seen any thing since .I did not no at the time the history of the lake . out of respect I'll go fish at another lake thanks for the show guys.

Lake Lanier is built over several black towns and 20 cemetaries in total. Oscarville is not the only one. They recently found many of the graves had never been dug up. Thats a lot of dead bodies to be swimming in. It has killed an estimated 700 people since it's creation. If that doesn't creep you out, then knowing a lot of those people didn't die by drowning will. Boats randomly exploding, electricution, crashing off the bridge into the water below, people straight up going missing - that resivior has always been messed up.
