The Drowned Town of Oscarville: The Dark Truth Beneath Lake Lanier


Listen Later

Beneath the surface of Lake Lanier lies more than water — it hides a town, a tragedy, and a history long buried.

This episode of Sleeping With History uncovers the real story of Oscarville, a once-thriving Black community in Georgia that was violently erased in 1912 — and later submerged under what became Lake Lanier.

From racial cleansing to unexplained drownings, we explore why this man-made lake has become one of the deadliest — and most haunted — places in America.
