Today y'all get a story local-ish to me. To be local, though, the word is fairly widespread about the curse of Lake Lanier thanks to Tiktok. Many people are afraid to even get near the lake due to all the lives it claims.

Claims that some people have been pulled and held underwater is pretty terrifying.

TW: Drowning/accidental deaths, suicide, racially-motivated violence (hate crime).
