It would have been more than land had they been allowed to thrive. Corporations and financial institutions ike CVS and Wells Fargo were established during these times. So a lot more than land was lost that’s why it’s buried under water the land is not what they were concerned about destroying.
You have too much gear on. I know yall are tech divers but when you come to this lake with all that gear, it will always increase your chances of getting tangled. I dive this lake every day. (Give you a tip). when you dive in low vis. put your light at its lowest setting.
16:12 "buddy stuck under tree" 16:39 "cameraman stuck on fishing rope"... guys its not fishing rope.... youre next to a hanging... think about it.... theres a tree and large rope.... thats not for fishing.....
are there any lakes like this but where you can still see buildings and such? I know some of the backstory to Lake Lanier but I’m not sure if the buildings were destroyed or bombed maybe. Extremely sad but also very interesting to learn about in modern day. I want to see more
The ONLY thing that remained and was submerged was the race Trac and bleachers. I believe also the concrete steps around where the bleachers sat as well.....EVERYTHING else was relocated including graves. The Sgt over the dive team in Hall County said there were remnants of the farming houses like the concrete foundation and remnants of a very small concrete building that use to be a gas station store but that's it.
During the summer if the water gets low enough you can see the trees that are at the bottom of it, a race track including the stands where people use to sit, and some buildings. As far as I know they didn’t bomb anything, they literally just relocated what they could of the town and flooded it. And I’m not sure if there’s any other lakes quite like lake Lanier honestly
It was a Black community/ Town , they killed whoever that didn't flee & submerged it with water, Buford Dacula Auburn winder Lawrenceville etc are haunted areas/ luxury homes built over dead people
The toen of Johnsonville, TN is underwater. Most of the citizens were relocated to New Johnsonville, TN. When taking a ferry ride across the river, you van still see the old mill sticking out of the water.

I did not recover the first fin. Spent about a min looking for it in the silt but as it became more and more stirred up and visibility degraded more and more I made the call to leave it.

@coreytrevorscuba4133 I just tried on a dry suit for the first time and this particular suit had tight boots. An instructor made a comment that it was better than loosing a fin. Are dry suit boots supposed to fit like shoes where you leave a little space for toes, or do toes need to touch the ends of the boot? How come you lost your fins? They look like jet fins
@@OffroadTrucker740 I'll preface this by saying I am not a Drysuit Instructor but do have a good amount of experience in one. IMO boots need to just fit comfortably like shoes. I lost the fin because I forgot my boots and was just diving in the socks... Hard lesson to learn but the spring straps on the fins were not tight enough.
@@Wefi01 Probably just $25. (Enough to cover some air and gas) I do it more for fun. If you need it recovered quickly I would recommend reaching out to Richard P. I can shoot you his contact if you still need it. Just saw your comment.
I would like to know if any divers have discovered any tombstones. If cemeteries were covered wouldn't there be caskets floating to the top like in New Orleans after Katrina.
@ashton8106 that is 100% true. My dad used to be a recovery diver for the fire dept and he recovered many cadavers from this lake. He said in certain areas they would have to be extremely cautious because they would literally be diving down into underwater forests because the DNR would just top the trees off in high density pine forests as the water level rose during construction of the lake. He said sometimes they wouldn't be able to search certain areas of the lake because of this. Just imagine being 70 feet down and coming across an area of topped off pine trees with 30 feet of tree still standing below you.
You should dive and look for the racetrack in Gainesville. At laurel park if you drive all the way to the end the dive spot should be to the left. I've stood on the bleachers during droughts. Might be a viral vid.
@@brieuchiha5077 I meant the concrete stands which are still there to this day. I've heard people left cars there (there was an engine exposed during the drought btw.)
According to Sgt Chris Tempel, Commander of the dive team for Hall County Sheriff's Dept, those bleachers remain and can be seen by sonar and I have also seen those bleachers during the last horrible drought we had. So they still remain.....
I'm sorry but you lost me at 10 ft which tripled to 100 ft deep and there is a TREE 😩 😩 What not too many people know that OscarVille is among one of the Forsyth Counties that live beneath Lake Lanier. So indeed there are bodies that are beneath the lake floor which is supposed to estimated at 160 ft deep.
Oscarville I believe is on the west side just outside of what was flooded. The flooding was intentional, planned and the people were moved similar to any imminent domain project. Graves were exhumed and bodys moved as well.
@@GloomToon There was not neighborhoods full of people unsuspectingly drowned in their sleep. The graves were exhumed and moved. Some unmarked graves were missed. But those suggesting it was genocide on this channel are just trolls.
anyways to add on everyone in the comments kept talking about the people who drowned there said it felt like someone pulling you down . the amount of times they got caught on a fishing line , i would assume it was the fishing line . based on assumption . when people keep saying the same thing over & over weather a lie or not , you’ll start believing in it . fear would take over anyones mind .
almost all of the cities, houses, malls, restaurants , etc. are built over dead people we don’t even know about . so to act like it’s something big when they do this all the time is crazy to me .
Yes , all of the above . There’s a lady on TikTok who talks about how her and her brother survived lake Lanier while being pull down by currents and not being able to see.. very interesting .
People who can't swim come to this lake and drown and drunks on boats causing accidents and drunk people walking off cliffs who cant swim it's not hunted I have lived by this lake all my life and I've been swimming and fishing never had a issue
Hey last wednesday my friend ajay was drowned in cultus lake but cops are failed to find him but they gave us permission to hire private divers so can you help us i will do payment to you
Almost drowned in that lake but a Sprite saved me, iam part Indian and I think that's why. I peacefully sank to the bottom and was brought back to the top. And I didn't know the history about at the time
Out of all the time a mf wanna play around with them ouija boards and draw pentagons and light up candles.. welp perfect spot for it.. see how that works out for ya😊
@@kay-collins a good percentage of those have been chalked up to being poor or tired swimmers. It's easy to misjudge distances and the water can get extremely choppy due to the high speeds and size of the boats. You have a lot of families coming up from Atlanta that are not familiar with swimming in a lake this size. People that are used to local or personal swimming pools who don't know the risks associated with Lake Lanier. There are drop-offs, cold currents, debris entangled with decades of fishing line. I'm not, nor am I claiming to be an expert on the hazards of swimming in the lake. I am speaking from 40 years of experience living nearby, however. The history is tragic and unfortunate, but no one can go back and change that. The likelihood that supernatural forces are drowning people or causing accidents... if this is what you want to believe, then believe it. I'm just pointing out that there are more people believing that that have never visited or live nearby than those that do.

About to dispel a lot of rumors about lake Lanier rq. Sorry to bust your bubble but it isn’t haunted. Yes, a town was flooded when the lake was built. This is not some uncommon thing. When nearly any reservoir is built, the land the it will occupy is flooded. Look at lake allatoona, the Hoover dam, or nearly any other man made reservoir in the world. Residents are made well aware of the flooding. It’s not like people just randomly drown from their town being flooded one day. Bodies in cemeteries are removed before hand and relocated. You can literally look at Maps of lakes and see old road beds, houses, submerged bridges and lots of other things clearly visible on them. The mass public knows nothing about reservoirs and it shows. And one last thing: NEARLY ALL of the deaths on the lake come from alcohol fueled endeavors. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk
The town they flooded used to be a sundown town and the klan was very active in the area and tbh the flooded town isn’t the spookiest thing that’s in the lake
The town they flooded was a successful black owned town that was flooded by the Klan. Souls weren’t put to rest properly out there, shit is definitely haunted
@@RubbabandRed1 there’s been over six hundred related deaths, do you really think they’ve found all those bodies? And if you’re the superstitious type then there’s the lady of the lake and the ghosts of the people who’ve died that like to pull people under. There’s a lot of lore.
My best friend died in this lake, I hate lake Lanier. There are deaths every single year in this lake. We call it Cursed lake for a reason here in Georgia
Uhhhhhh over 600 people have died in it, theres litteraly an entire black town with cemetaries and everything down there. The history is violent and racist and brutal, someone went fishing a pulled up a HUMAN HAND yknow just that super fuckin cursed shit no big deal. Its an absolute stain on the land and history and people...
This was a good video. Doesn’t seem like a whole lot under there. I’ve only dived in the ocean both day and night dives.I’ve been around sharks and stone fish but for some reason lake diving just seems more sketchy lol. I like the people arguing that it’s haunted. Please keep making more haunted stories. I feel like it’s kept all the riff raft ghetto peoples from ruining the nice lake 😁.
YOUR people are the riff raft, as you STOLE this land after running the Black families away who owned it, and without compensating them. This was previously a thriving African American town. Just outright theft of their property. This was done to other Black towns as well, and in some cases, your people began pouring water into Black owned towns before the residents had even left.
There are no fish in sight… This is clearly dead water!
It was said when they constructed the lake they added water in there it’s not a natural lake with fish
@@yungog2o3 Is hard being so fucking stupid?
The history behind this “lake” is sick.
Sure is. White people ran all the black people out of the town and then submerged the city in water.
Yes. Lynchings. A whole Black town was flooded for this lake.

West bank, headed toward the dam
I need a boat part retrieved from under the East Bank boat ramp dock around 20ft of water. How do much you charge?
@@Wefi01 Probably just $25. (Enough to cover some air and gas) I do it more for fun. If you need it recovered quickly I would recommend reaching out to Richard P. I can shoot you his contact if you still need it. Just saw your comment.
@@Wefi01 20ft of water? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 are you serious
That was a snoozer
I would like to know if any divers have discovered any tombstones. If cemeteries were covered wouldn't there be caskets floating to the top like in New Orleans after Katrina.
There are graveyards there. They are emtpy because the bodies were exhumed and relocated prior to the lake being flooded.
@@coreytrevorscuba4133I hear there are trees down there since there were forests. Is that true?
@@ashton8106 100% True
@ashton8106 that is 100% true. My dad used to be a recovery diver for the fire dept and he recovered many cadavers from this lake. He said in certain areas they would have to be extremely cautious because they would literally be diving down into underwater forests because the DNR would just top the trees off in high density pine forests as the water level rose during construction of the lake. He said sometimes they wouldn't be able to search certain areas of the lake because of this. Just imagine being 70 feet down and coming across an area of topped off pine trees with 30 feet of tree still standing below you.
Excuse me, Corp of Engineers not DNR*
where are the fish!!! nahhhhh I'm good
That “flashlight” does absolutely nothing under water lol
You should see what it looks like with the light off
You should dive and look for the racetrack in Gainesville. At laurel park if you drive all the way to the end the dive spot should be to the left. I've stood on the bleachers during droughts. Might be a viral vid.
The bleachers were removed beforehand so they didn’t float to the surface and cause a hazard for boats.
@@brieuchiha5077 I meant the concrete stands which are still there to this day. I've heard people left cars there (there was an engine exposed during the drought btw.)
@@brieuchiha5077 bleachers are concrete they are still there
@@devinrosa3544 they’re not google it
According to Sgt Chris Tempel, Commander of the dive team for Hall County Sheriff's Dept, those bleachers remain and can be seen by sonar and I have also seen those bleachers during the last horrible drought we had. So they still remain.....
No Covid down there
I'm sorry but you lost me at 10 ft which tripled to 100 ft deep and there is a TREE 😩 😩 What not too many people know that OscarVille is among one of the Forsyth Counties that live beneath Lake Lanier. So indeed there are bodies that are beneath the lake floor which is supposed to estimated at 160 ft deep.
Oscarville I believe is on the west side just outside of what was flooded. The flooding was intentional, planned and the people were moved similar to any imminent domain project. Graves were exhumed and bodys moved as well.
@@coreytrevorscuba4133 not all the people were moved and the same can be said about the graves…
@@GloomToon There was not neighborhoods full of people unsuspectingly drowned in their sleep. The graves were exhumed and moved. Some unmarked graves were missed. But those suggesting it was genocide on this channel are just trolls.
@@coreytrevorscuba4133 sure ,
To call them ALL trolls are you ignorant? Or are you just a bot yourself?
Omg I would be afraid to dive in there
@ 38ft 5 mins into the video what is that sound ??
A boat
👍
where’s this city & cemetery y’all talking about ?
i came here from a fb video talking about ushers son dying in the lake .
anyways to add on everyone in the comments kept talking about the people who drowned there said it felt like someone pulling you down . the amount of times they got caught on a fishing line , i would assume it was the fishing line . based on assumption . when people keep saying the same thing over & over weather a lie or not , you’ll start believing in it . fear would take over anyones mind .
on another note why y’all wanting to swim in a man made lake ?
almost all of the cities, houses, malls, restaurants , etc. are built over dead people we don’t even know about . so to act like it’s something big when they do this all the time is crazy to me .
The city and cemetery are under the lake itself if you've been listening. Black families were run off their property and never compensated for it.
I live close to this lake and would NEVER get in!!! It's nasty and dangerous!
Where da fish?
Keep it weeeeeeeIIIIrrrdddddddd
I just want to know when people are swimming what happens for them to just drown like that? Do they hit the trees or are there currents? What is it
Yes , all of the above . There’s a lady on TikTok who talks about how her and her brother survived lake Lanier while being pull down by currents and not being able to see.. very interesting .
@@allenyac599 she said it wasn't the current...
Almost all of it includes alcohol, or a boating accident. Sorry to ruin everyone's spooky fantasies but no crazy currents or ghost.
People who can't swim come to this lake and drown and drunks on boats causing accidents and drunk people walking off cliffs who cant swim it's not hunted I have lived by this lake all my life and I've been swimming and fishing never had a issue
@@starrsansone1038 oh ok
Hey last wednesday my friend ajay was drowned in cultus lake but cops are failed to find him but they gave us permission to hire private divers so can you help us i will do payment to you
AdventuresWithPurpose are people who do that type of stuff for a living!
Let me know how many tools you find down there. I've personally lost about 1000$ in random hand tools and power tools lmao
Almost drowned in that lake but a Sprite saved me, iam part Indian and I think that's why. I peacefully sank to the bottom and was brought back to the top. And I didn't know the history about at the time
Where’s the city buildings & things everywhere like people claim???
Out of all the time a mf wanna play around with them ouija boards and draw pentagons and light up candles.. welp perfect spot for it.. see how that works out for ya😊
What is so bad about this lake?
@kaedence aleyce how did quote people sink a lake
@kaedence aleyce okay what’s your point
@kaedence aleyce if they opened up a dam to flood it,it would flood alot more that that community
@kaedence aleyce eh I’m fine
@@christiancolarusso5835 you must be pretty... Dense huh?
Where’s the fish
I am the fish
I would have to say after living in the vicinity for nearly 40 years, a good half of the adult deaths are alcohol related.
YUP.
And so you say that to say don't believe the hype of what people are saying about this lake?🤔
Half isn’t a lot.... what about the other half..
@@kay-collins a good percentage of those have been chalked up to being poor or tired swimmers. It's easy to misjudge distances and the water can get extremely choppy due to the high speeds and size of the boats. You have a lot of families coming up from Atlanta that are not familiar with swimming in a lake this size. People that are used to local or personal swimming pools who don't know the risks associated with Lake Lanier. There are drop-offs, cold currents, debris entangled with decades of fishing line. I'm not, nor am I claiming to be an expert on the hazards of swimming in the lake. I am speaking from 40 years of experience living nearby, however. The history is tragic and unfortunate, but no one can go back and change that. The likelihood that supernatural forces are drowning people or causing accidents... if this is what you want to believe, then believe it. I'm just pointing out that there are more people believing that that have never visited or live nearby than those that do.
@@jennifergeo4030 very well stated! I agree 1000% with everything you commented…and I’m a 44 year old black man from Decatur, Georgia…I just spent Father’s Day weekend there with my family…we had a blast!
I love Lanier. Its ironically cleaner and a lot nicer than a lot of other lakes in Georgia. I would rather swim here than somewhere like lake acworth
So no town 😒
Lets just pretend we undersstand a tsunami.. if the pressure of a damn breaking can take a town out , what makes you think these 1912 homes would still be standing babe.
Hey this shit creepy lol 😂
What disgusting water
Anyone else bothered by his swimming technique with flippers
.... lol 😂
The oppressor knows exactly what is at the bottom of that LAKE!!! DEAD ANCESTORS SOULS!!! THEY WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO ENJOY SOMETHING THAT WAS CREATED BY THE EVIL ONES.🙄
13:59 a sign you should abort mission lol
Notice ain't nan one of us said we want to explore them waters tho.. folks have no fear of God and truly are without a soul to feel that comfortable to swim among the dead and think that the ancestors can't snatch they like @#$ if they wanted to.. how TF you turn our pain into a dam tourists attraction 🤬
Is it true that the lake is haunted???
Yeah it's haunted i went today and something grabbed my leg
@@coldplay_0024 lies like this are what kills the area. Stop it man. It doesn't make you seem like you know something others don't. It makes you seem like a liar.
It is haunted, the idiot saying it isn't obviously isn't from there. It's fucking very haunted, there's a graveyard under that lake
No it is not. The buildings were removed or burnt, and the few churches were relocated. I've been going in and on the lake all my life.
@@PatriotPartyVivaLibertad kill the area?? the area was never meant to be recreational in the first place??
About to dispel a lot of rumors about lake Lanier rq. Sorry to bust your bubble but it isn’t haunted. Yes, a town was flooded when the lake was built. This is not some uncommon thing. When nearly any reservoir is built, the land the it will occupy is flooded. Look at lake allatoona, the Hoover dam, or nearly any other man made reservoir in the world. Residents are made well aware of the flooding. It’s not like people just randomly drown from their town being flooded one day. Bodies in cemeteries are removed before hand and relocated. You can literally look at Maps of lakes and see old road beds, houses, submerged bridges and lots of other things clearly visible on them. The mass public knows nothing about reservoirs and it shows. And one last thing: NEARLY ALL of the deaths on the lake come from alcohol fueled endeavors. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk
The town they flooded used to be a sundown town and the klan was very active in the area and tbh the flooded town isn’t the spookiest thing that’s in the lake
The town they flooded was a successful black owned town that was flooded by the Klan. Souls weren’t put to rest properly out there, shit is definitely haunted
@@iamnotpasta4408 wats the spookiest thing?
@@RubbabandRed1 there’s been over six hundred related deaths, do you really think they’ve found all those bodies? And if you’re the superstitious type then there’s the lady of the lake and the ghosts of the people who’ve died that like to pull people under. There’s a lot of lore.
What would you know? Your like 12
No se ve nada😎
Our ANCESTORS have NOT forgotten about what happened to them by the wyte folks n that's why they claiming the LIVES of their children
Who else is on Lake Lanier every weekend 🙋♂️
Till this day this lake is the most dangerous on planet, haunted by ghost and draining energy’s
#Hauntedstorytime
My best friend died in this lake, I hate lake Lanier. There are deaths every single year in this lake. We call it Cursed lake for a reason here in Georgia
Still dk why people are so scared
Lots of stories of drownings
@@nawfsideplay people drown in pools everyday but they aren’t scared of them.
@@Hector9030 because they don’t know how to swim, lakes have strong currents that can drown you
Uhhhhhh over 600 people have died in it, theres litteraly an entire black town with cemetaries and everything down there. The history is violent and racist and brutal, someone went fishing a pulled up a HUMAN HAND yknow just that super fuckin cursed shit no big deal. Its an absolute stain on the land and history and people...
@@krisekman9316 that’s in the past lmao because dinosaurs used to roam doesn’t mean it’s scary to go outside and walk💀
If you think its haunted just stay out of it lmao.
Southern lakes are disgusting.
This was a good video. Doesn’t seem like a whole lot under there. I’ve only dived in the ocean both day and night dives.I’ve been around sharks and stone fish but for some reason lake diving just seems more sketchy lol. I like the people arguing that it’s haunted. Please keep making more haunted stories. I feel like it’s kept all the riff raft ghetto peoples from ruining the nice lake 😁.
U love being a racist
Lake Lanier is the site of a black town that was massacred by local racists you idiot. Show more respect.
Ghetto people?
@@SS-vk3yo yea that was a horrible thing to say
YOUR people are the riff raft, as you STOLE this land after running the Black families away who owned it, and without compensating them. This was previously a thriving African American town. Just outright theft of their property. This was done to other Black towns as well, and in some cases, your people began pouring water into Black owned towns before the residents had even left.
