Since its construction in the 1950s, manmade Lake Lanier has had countless tragedies. Over 700 people have lost their lives here, making it one of the most dangerous lakes in the world. The land is also rooted in a dark and senseless history of racism, violence, murder, and greed. Is the Georgian lake haunted? Is there a Lady of the Lake? Is it cursed? Is it just plain dangerous? Let’s get into it.

Kaydra has her best friend, Jazmine on the pod! From 1991 to 1993, 4 men and 4 women made history when they spent 2 years in a geodesic dome to learn about the Earth’s biosphere, climate change, and about sustaining life in outer space. But how they would go down in history is up for debate. Apologies for the audio quality-- we had some unforeseen technical difficulties in this episode.

Kaydra (finally) does an episode entirely dedicated to the lil green guys up above. The U.S. government’s Project Blue Book set out in 1952 to determine if UFOs were a potential threat for the nation's security, and to gain a better scientific understanding of UFOs. But what they found would be so baffling, so impossible to explain… the truth simply couldn’t stay hidden for long.
