Thank u I was about to Say , if he researched properly like it appears to me he did so , he shouldn’t leave that part of bad history out .

[@justjoyi7696]

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.

[@tarharqataseti9261]

They may just be dumb or they know and are playing dumb.

[@Rlittle1954]

ive lived here all my life , owned home s on lanier , if you cant swim do not get in the lake lol the largest slave owner in the area was Cherokee indian named Vann as in Vans Tavern on the river at the forsyth county line

[@Tedakin]

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!

[@sportslife5129]

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.

[@Rlittle1954]

not haunted people need ot learn to swim not drunk

[@EFunkRock]

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.

[@moondvstvalley]

right?

[@Rlittle1954]

i was raised here , this is all BS

[@KyZiegler-km7gx]

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

[@Rlittle1954]

this is a lie

[@Rlittle1954]

oscarville and several way more white communities under water

[@tatiilabeau3339]

​@@Rlittle1954 no it's not.

[@SuperJbaby1991]

It’s not a lie that there is a black town underneath. But most did not drown. They were forced out of the town before it was flooded.

[@Rlittle1954]

@@SuperJbaby1991 There were white areas as well and no blacks were killed during the building of the Buford damn, it took over 2 years to fill the lake up, if they drowned and had two years to move, don't know what to tell you . White Indians and Asian all had to move to higher ground, every damn in Maeiorca had this happen

[@AshlyMonet]

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

[@Huriel27]

Sup beautiful 🩵

[@Rlittle1954]

not a city a small community that the water took two years to back up to , they moved like all the Whites Cherokee and asias lol ,. no reparations here

[@kameshialee5088]

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.

[@Rlittle1954]

get over it white and indians had to move as well , we all needed the water sourece and thet didnt start filling the lake until 1957 .

[@fredrickmiller2786]

Let’s go I love ghost stories!!!!

[@Rlittle1954]

[@Rlittle1954]

everything was flooded and a planned back up of the lake , Whites and all others in the area were effected , are blacks so stupid they feel they were the noly ones lmbo

[@caveman7530]

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

[@cerealrakist7360]

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

[@tamarawhitlow6223]

It’s the black people of Oscarville!

[@tarharqataseti9261]

All those burials are the original black indians

[@Rlittle1954]

Black Indians ? lol Chief Vann at the chestatee river was the largest slave owner in North Georgia a cherokee indian

[@lorenzowhite4589]

“Before the lake was created “😉

[@ms.ravenwood]

[@mrwealthysoon]

[@Rlittle1954]

[@judithlafleur4965]

@@tatiilabeau3339 i do not keep up with black history , not my thing didnt have slave in our family , every one of us were slaves the white republican Lincoln freed the black slaves is all i know and you guys with democrat keep yall in chains to get you vote ,

[@autumngalix4616]

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.

[@Rlittle1954]

lie , lie lie , oscarville , keep it real , whites , Indians and Asians all had to move not just blacks this is a BS story i live here and myfamily were afecte as well why all this bs

[@Rlittle1954]

[@Protectra]

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.

[@Rlittle1954]

this story is a lie , the lake wasnt even full until the late 50's those ladies had been at a bar in dawsonville ran into the lake on the road back to Gainesville , when the new dawsonville bridge was build they were drilling for beams to support the bridge and found the car the tag number and found one ladies dress in the car the wrecked drunk , nothing haunted here , if we are calling Lake lanier haunted over drunks then every place in america is haunted

[@EdwardHill-oh3vr]

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

[@Rlittle1954]

dumbass should have mixed electricity and water wtf did he expect

[@Mike-hy3rp]

I lived o the lake believe in the story

[@Rlittle1954]

my family owned a funeral home when the damn was created, the lake backed up to fast , they did not have time to move all the graves my dad and a lot of his friends and the community work their butts off trying to move the graves they did not have enough time ,, you are BS

[@tatiilabeau3339]

You're a liar. They did have time. After the lynching of those young boys and the running black people out of the town. Right before the stole their land and sold it back to the government. Made a profit off of the hard work of those black citizens...they could've moved their graves. Kinda like how they moved the natives.
