Lake Lanier ,Georgia

Lake Lanier, a 37,066-acre reservoir north of Atlanta, is known for being one of the deadliest lakes in the United States.

More than 200 people have died on the lake since the 1990s, and more than 700 have died there since the lake’s creation in 1956.

This haunted lake in Georgia is located between Sugar Hill and White Sulfur Springs, on top of a town that was formerly known as Oscarville.

Oscarville was a prosperous, predominately black community that experienced a horrific amount of lynching, riots, and other racially motivated violence in the early 20th century.

Oscarville was eventually flooded to create Lake Sydney Lanier, which still covers the remains of the town.

Locals claim that souls from the town’s cemeteries still haunt the lake, causing some of the mysterious drownings and boating accidents that happen there today.

There have also been numerous alleged supernatural sightings near Browns Bridge.
