@@changes649 According to the news report, Kile was floating on an inner tube when a jet ski driven by a family friend crashed into him. Therefore, the impact of the crash probably knocked him unconscious and his body started sinking. However, I don’t think Kile’s excellent swimming skills could have saved him from drowning. On the other hand, I cannot say whether something unusual didn’t happened either because anything is possible, especially when there’s restless souls.

Facts. I live in Las Vegas but I was raised in Marietta & went to school out there back in the day. That whole city & county was a battlefield. Literally can see the tombstones out the window while I was in middle school 🤣😂 over 100,000 people died fighting out there. The U.S Army came & cleaned that racist mess up. But Oscarville & the rest of those deep country towns in the middle of nowhere like Rosewood too, those black people had to be careful because they were far out from major cities & most of the sheriffs & local officials of the town were still gang banging the confederacy so the Blacks had NO WIN. They even dropped bombs on Oscarville & they built the “Buford Dam”. The Atlanta Falcons practice facility is not too far from the actual Oscarville in Flowery Branch. All this stuff is sick, & your right about Stone Mountain I used to always ask my teachers how is it legal to have Jefferson Davis & his two gang buddy sidekicks carved into Stone Mountain, & it’s a state law that it cannot be removed or vandalized basically until The world ends 🤣. Makes no sense, that’s like a carving of Hitler in the middle of Germany 🇩🇪. Jefferson Davis was the president of the confederacy so why is it a statue of him on U.S soil anyway? If his headquarters was Virginia & The U.S headquarters was D.C then they need to take that BS up there. & every year at Stone Mountain they have “Confederate Memorial Day” to Celebrate all of the racist BS their “Leaders” did that’s carved into the mountain

If your black ESPECIALLY born in America & in the South & don’t know who Jefferson Davis is then your part of the statistic on why black people as a whole are set back. He was the president of the Confederacy. He ran 11 states that had the most lucrative & brutal slave system & they had their own distribution to Africa to get their own shit. While Abraham Lincoln was the president of the United States. The Kkk falls under the confederacy, the confederacy is the umbrella & the kkk is just a petty street gang under it that isn’t talking about shit, they only scare they “Holy” church going black people. The KKK headquarters is Pulaski, Tennessee & ALL of the surrounding towns around Nashville. The Confederate or Civil war was big, not no small war. Alot of great people lost their lives, you had free slaves that were running around loose killing hundreds of Slave owners and their families, you had black people joining the US Army to escape slavery. Shit was real. The confederacy is so real that most black people 98•5% that’s in America still TO THIS day hold onto their masters last name. Like Williams, Davis, Hood, Lee, Jackson, etc.. I can keep going. That’s why they respect the Indians/Natives and gave them land, percentage on casinos, parks, because they weren’t that far broke off from their roots. They know their original language, know their original names & last names, & they know laws. Something alot of black people don’t, so alot of it starts at home with people only “watching” their kids & not “teaching” them. If your raised in America learn about American history & where your from & start there. Picking up a book & going out brushing a few feathers isn’t expensive at all. The only reason the war popped off & black people are FREE in America today is because they “tried” to conquer the whole USA & began carrying attacks on the Union (Army). Situations like Pensacola, Florida, Atlanta, Ga, etc.. The Army even put posters up letting local slaves know that the law has passed that they are free & can join the Union & to reach your local Army base. The enemies wore grey uniforms & the USA wore Blue. White people were going around ripping the signs down, some didn’t even let their slaves know that it was over til the Army came shut em down.

Burials or cremations are very important. And unfortunately, this has happened to the resting places of ALOT of African American slaves and freed men and women. I recently visited the Freedmen’s Cemetery here in Alexandria, VA. Even in T&T where I was born: There were certain areas or streets where car accidents would happen all the time when I was a little girl. They said that it was “Blight”..meaning cursed. For some reason, those accidents stopped happening after years of deaths and I think it was because the angry souls got their numbers. So yes, I believe it will stop at 1100. Some spirits will come and get the closest person to the water..meaning: If they realize that people are avoiding the lake, they are powerful enough to make weird freak accidents happen to you like that car that crash in there. I hope your cousin and everyone else listens and stays away, because the thing with spirits is they don’t discriminate. They wont just take white folks, because they are PISSED.

My family and I used to visit when I was little. I survived a near drowning thanks to my sister being nearby. I definitely recall the “weighed down/pulled down” feeling - I slipped off the concrete support on a pillar at the edge of the swimming area and just went down, into the murky depths, without any sense of buoyancy that initially occurs when sinking into water. I remember being really calm and quickly seeing the sun disappear, then my sister pulling me up.

I went to Lake Lanier one time and haven’t been back. Some coworkers and I were sponsors of a tri-sprint for women and some of us were also going to do the tri. The tri included a swim in LL, run and bike. Well early that morning, a horrible storm came through and literally wreck havoc. I mean is was a terrible storm. The event was cancelled of course. I felt like it was the ancestors saying not to get my Black @$$ in that water. Once the storm cleared, we went to pick up our bikes and trees were down and a lot of debris was blown into the lake.

[@HighPriestessK]

You’re right but it’s actually those people’s ancestors spiritual leaders doing the work in conjunction with African spirit deities. Not just Yemaya but Mami Wata too.That is exactly how that works. Nice to see a younger person in touch with the understandings of African Ancestral spiritual workings❤. It warms my heart. Nothing but love from my end.

You indigenous people of the Land including Natives who where there before, ain't nothing African about none of our ancestors, at that time there where very few people straight from the continent of Africa, the ones that did survive the ordeal by Ocean went to the Caribbean island chain, then later years to Europe then here,not million's, some folk are indigenous to this Land my Great grandmother was Blackfoot she looked exactly like those so called Indian pictures the1800's dark reddish brown complexion she past at 105, then Native tribes got here but that's a whole nother story.

I live in Hall county & have visited the lake on numerous occasions, even boated there several times. This was until i learned of the history of Lake Lanier. I was boating on the lake the same day Tamekia Fosters son had his accident in which he later passed from (God bless his beautiful soul). I haven't experienced any haunting activities but i meet a lady who lives on the lake & shes constantly tormented by 2 spirits around her home. She even feels like one is possessing her daughter. Her stories are very scary & the look on her face & feeling her energy, i feels shes being truthful.

[@gillianforeman6272]

OMG! TRUE STORY! I was on a house boat ride at Lake Lainer this past August. I took videos and pictures. Days after the boat ride I would look at the pictures and the videos but I would have this eerie feeling. For some strange reason when I'm looking at the videos where people were dancing on the boat there would never be any sound but I would be so scared when looking at the videos because it's as though I can hear something say, keep looking closely and you would see it. As time went by I erased the videos because they were very scary to look at. Without knowing of this place to be haunted I just felt scared being there. I told my friend who was there on the boat that there is an evil force present there. Everything is making sense to me now. That place is sinister and I felt it. I had to erase all pictures and videos of that boat ride.
