Scariest thing at Tahoe I’ve seen is the sheer amount of trash people leave on the beaches
Yeah kings beach in the north side of Tahoe is the worst
Absolutely, people are scarier monsters than anything else
👍🏼😡💯
Thats why whenever we go anywhere in the we take garbage bags. Pack it in, pack it out.
stupid people 😡😡
I live up here and the scariest thing about Tahoe is the traffic and crowds now. So yeah don’t visit I would like to find parking at the beach!
Yeah, I agree. I have a house at Incline Village but haven't visited in 3 years. I'm hoping to make it there in the fall this year. But I agree there's way too many visitors now; going from Incline Village to Tahoe City in the middle of summer or during a three day holiday can take as long as an hour. It's usually a 20 minute drive. And if you want to go to Sand Harbor you need to get there before anybody else wakes up; trying to get from Incline Village to South Lake Tahoe between 8 and 9 am is like going through I-5 in LA.
Yeah, all the traffic isn’t fun, we can luckily bike ride to the beach tho
Nkw because of that comment I will let all my friends know to gogo lake tahoe
@@anastasiasanchez7852 yeah, although the tourists do make it hard do anything there
@@anastasiasanchez7852 my relatives that live there tell us that Saturday and Sunday is the worst day to go so we always go on Monday
I have lived in Reno since I was a kid. I’ve been to Tahoe many times even swam in the lake every year. Make no mistake about it most people that drown are because of alcohol or just bad luck. And ya the water is cold and can cause shock if you are not used to it. There is no reason for a responsible adult to be afraid of this lake. Now Pyramid lake is a different story all together.
What is it about Pyramid lake G.I. Joe. ??
Yes please , what's up with Pyramid Lake?
Tell us your experience with pyramid lake!
@@kristab321 water babies are real100%... Think of an evil mermaid basically . I have hear way too many eyewitness accounts for me to personally call it a myth.
@@goldenratio5117 wtf is a waterbaby. been living in reno for a while now and everyone mentions them.
Scariest thing about Tahoe is how expensive real estate has gotten.
A 1-night 2-room hotel booking cost me $800 bucks last week, and that hotel was pretty shitty and old (although located in a decent area).
Everywhere unfortunately.
@@thanakornkunta8034 that better not have been rustic cottages
Yeah and natives like myself have been pushed out of our own town.
I have lived in the Tahoe area for 60 years. I have done over 400 SCUBA dives in Lake Tahoe. I have dove down to 400 feet in Tahoe. I have studied a lot of the history of the Tahoe and Comstock area. The lake is cold and at high altitude. Most people that drown are affected by the cold and not use to the lower PPO2 so they get tired quickly. Add alcohol to the mix and you increase the chances of drowning. Since the water is cold, the bodies sink and do not decompose the same way like in warm water lakes. They do not produce the gases that let the bodies float up. If a body sank in the lake, it would sink to the bottom and get covered up with silt. It would also be a food source. The diver that was lost at Rubicon Point that was recovered years later, was stuck on the Rubicon wall and did not go to the bottom. We offered to go and get the diver, but the Sherriffs office would not approve the dive. Our group was trained in Tech diving.
Most of the stuff in this video is false stories that have been "floating" around for years. At least he got a lot of views!
I'm Washoe we have word of mouth stories older than your nation. the ong was real
All the respect for you. Lived in tahoe my entire life. This guy has no idea.
How do you dive at high altitudes? Do you use Nitrox, and have to compress before you go in, or do you have to take extra O2 down with you for the same time period you would if you were diving at lower elevation?
Seeing as Taho is on the same line as Superior, you'd think that the temperature would dictate a cold temperature heated suit. Combine that with the high elevation, you are not getting the same quality and time period for your dives in your O2 tanks that you are in lower elevations. I'm not understanding how these issues are being ignored by people. Are they not told, don't know, or is it just ignored?
Thank you. I thought as much.
@@joemc6617 cool story! Next, Can you tell everybody the story of how the Paiute kicked your tribe into the dirt and even forbid your ancestors from riding horses ever again? Such a proud and great people. Bragging rights indeed.
I have jumped into the middle and opened my eyes. CLEAR BLUE ALL AROUND. IT'S SURREAL.
I read it’s water is 99% purified! 😮
Dude I’ve done that too! It’s so beautiful and thrilling!
Ive taken gulps before and been fine lmaoo
It’s almost as clean as Dasani bottled water which is 99.998% clean and the lake is 99.994%
Balls of steel
I lived in Tahoe from 2010-2019 and grew up visiting every summer since I was 9 years old. I moved back last December and was there for 6 months. It is a beautiful lake, and a beautiful area! Definitely a place worth visiting. But definitely be water safe out there. Just because you may know how to swim, doesn’t mean things can’t happen out of your control. Be safe and be smart. And for god sakes, if you do any cliff diving, know what you’re doing. Far too many lives are lost for the thrill of jumping off cliffs. I almost drowned once paddle boarding on the lake on a very windy day! That’s all it takes is a bit of wind!
I grew up in Tahoe and my parents still live there. It’s definitely changed since I was younger.
More crowds, more traffic. Nothing to be scared of except running into a bear😂
Meh, even the bears aren’t that bad as long as you keep your distance and take precautions to keep them from trying to break in for food. Just make some loud noise and 95% of the time they will just wander off
Not true, the fungus that people are bringing to the lake will kill it.
There's full grown Sasquatches out there.
Don't you mean "Hank the Tank"?
momma bear always watching 👁
Tahoe needs a submarine tour!
(4:35) I don't know if there are "secret underground caverns" that connect Lake Tahoe to Pyramid Lake, but I do know that the two lakes are connected by the very unsecret Truckee River.
Lmfao. I was thinking the same thing
They have same prehistoric fish in them ,were tagged an tracked to pyramid lake is also haunted .
@@mickeymarchwick4752 they’re connected by the Truckee River. Of course you’ll have fish moving between the two. It’s kind of what fish do.
Tunnel , same prestoric fish in both ,lake is haunted also .I lived in lovelock 14 years .I wouldn't get on that lake
@@mickeymarchwick4752 - Just to the east of Pyramid Lake are the oldest petroglyphs in North America at Winnemucca Lake, a dry lake bed at the foot of the mountain chain separating Pyramid lake from the dry lake bed. I had a paranormal encounter with a ghostly entity at 3 in the morning at the site with the appearance of a American Indian only 3 feet from me. I have been a paranormal investigator for twenty years and it remains one of my top-3 encounters. That entire area is indeed VERY haunted.
Nothing unusual about mountain lakes never getting warm. We have a lake right out of town where I live and there's still two bodies that have never been found since the mid 80s. One guy floated to the surface after 21 years. They were able to identify him.
After 21 years how the shit did he "float" to the surface? There isnt buoyancy in bones
@@krotchlickmeugh627 temp fluctuations let the body finally decompose just enough to bloat. Same as every biological being. Cold lakes just slow the decomp rate down to a halt.
@@f-150yeti2 thank you for explaining that. I was on vacation and missed the comment. If they want to look it up it's Lake De Smet by Buffalo Wyoming.
@@wyomingadventures it’s a weird thing for sure. I lost an employee in a boating accident a few years back. It took us months before we found him. It was hell on the family to loose him and know he was out there somewhere. To know where he is, but not be able to find him was a special kind of hell.
@@krotchlickmeugh627 👈 😂
Growing up around lake Tahoe I must say the lake is so dirty now. The clarity of the water no longer exists used to be a time when we could see the bottom 100 feet down. .now just 8ft Was just kayaking South shore yesterday everywhere you look garbage all over the bottom of the lake. So sad
Yeah, it really sucks
So the keep Tahoe blue 💙 stickers are not working.
It’s still very clear.
Damn humans! 👽
@@infinitejest441 Ehhh shadap, we were here first, stupid fallen angels.
Correction, Donald Windecker's body was retrieved near Rubicon point in Lake Tahoe not Pyramid Lake. FYI, I've moved up here in 2012 and have visited often since 1967. The strangest things I've witnessed have been the 1980 Harvey's bombing, twice "UFOs", the return of bears and coyotes, and more recently the string of earthquakes over the past couple of months located directly in the center of the Lake. Unfortunately, never a "tessie" tho.
Where the bears and coyotes gone for a period of time?
That is really interesting and you are very handsome. 😉
Rain ... what do you mean by earthquakes in the center of the lake ... ?
Is even in the snapshot in the videos, so this unzips the whole mystery feel of the video
@@gardensofthegods rain has no clue what they are talking about. I've lived in Lake Tahoe since 2014. Most of the quakes around here take place very nearby, but in Nevada. only 20-30 miles away quite regularly
The bodies at the bottom of the lake are frozen but not dead. (Hibernating).Sometimes they warm up and come ashore and grab people and bring them to the bottom of the lake.
I love this
🤣❤️💯
It’s just shitty people drowning cause their cardio sucks
Stop it
@@invisibleman3640 i didnt mean it like that. i meant people are just naive of the altitude
Yeah, I remember Jacques Cousteau coming to Lake Tahoe back when I used to go skinny dipping there. If he thought what he saw then was an unspeakable horror then he should see me now!
bruh lmao
I’ve lived in north shore of Lake Taboe and the only dangerous part of Lake Tahoe is the cold water and the tourists lol. Lake Tahoe is one of the most beautiful places I’ve been. The water can be extremely cold for swimmers who aren’t used to it, and pairing that with alcohol can be deadly. I actually have suffered from hypothermia from that lake one time. Once your body gets adjusted, it’s amazing to explore.
I hope you guys enjoyed this video, I’ve been learning a ton about animation! Only getting better from here 👻🖤
yo quick question who is your oldest subscriber?
I live about an hour from Crater Lake
Yeah I thought that was really cool what you did with the picture of the man who rediscovered, in a sense, Lake Tahoe. I hope you will do more of that in the future. Because as far as I can tell, there aren't too many other creators that know how to do that. And adding that to your work will Definitely makes your videos stand out from the crowd.
Dear@@beautyforashes2022~ Oh, Absolutely!!!
I love how it gives me a point of reference so I can appreciate the scale. It’s hard to conceptualize it in my own mind so it helps a lot!
Seventy-five years at Lake Tahoe. Every way, everywhere. This video is 95% pure BS. But, cute and entertaining.
Yup, it's a bunch of crap
It’s real. VERY REAL. Be afraid people.
if you've truly, truly, been everywhere in every way here, you'd know this is not BS. Think about it, you REALLY think they would confirm the existence of multiple preserved bodies in a town this rich in tourism? The less people know, the more money we make.
@@MyFriendOfMisery13 Riiiiiiiiiiiight.
there is a lake near my house I've never drowned there but since I scuba dive there and given the size of some of its inhabitants, common carp weighing 120 kg it's impressive but it's a sort of big placid aquatic cow, on the other hand the 450kg of the most biggest European catfish that I have seen in my life 4 meters long, not sure that they are not dangerous for a child at least.
So without without me xD .
i went skinny dipping in Lake Tahoe years ago, swimming on my back. 'That's' how that Tahoe Tessie legend started....
6:41 That's actually a picture of Champ, from Lake Champlain. If there's any doubt, look at the foliage surrounding the Lake. I lived in Tahoe. That's not Tahoe.
I thought that picture looked familiar…
It's lake champlain.. sandra mansey photo
finally a channel that puts in soundeffects. And I remember that I subscribed to this channel when it has 600 subs. And the Owner asked me to subscribe on a different video in a different channel. This was around 2 to 4 years ago. I'm glad that this channel is a success
Thanks for being subscribed for so long and noticing the sound effects, these videos take me so long to make and it makes me happy when someone sees that! 🖤 a lot of stuff going on right now personally but I want to make videos again!
Such a beautiful Lake. Even if it is a little creepy. Do not swim out alone. The water is COLD. Look up the calaveras skull/ lava tubes
Fun Fact: The lake is still part of the Ponderosa Ranch and is owned by Benjamin Cartwright to this day.
yes... and Don Ho.
Im from the Bay Area and have been visiting Lake Tahoe a few times in the summer and a couple times in the winter for the past 7ish years. Absolutley beautiful place. But you do have to be careful swimming the lake. Its cold, very deep, and assholes drunk driving boats not paying attention.
Stay home
@@rondean2733 No
I live on the South Shore of Lake Tahoe and something I've always heard were that the Washoe natives that used to inhabit the shores of Lake Tahoe, were forced to a reservation in Carson City, Nevada. Because of this, they had cursed the shores of Lake Tahoe. One of the curses I had heard of, is that if you stay longer than 2 years, you will be bound to the land, and always return. There is also a rampant drug problem, (specifically heroin) amongst the younger generation of locals....
I feel this way about Virginia city Nevada. If I go to often I feel like something wants me to go back every time. Like I have to go. So I distant myself and visit every once in a while.
I lived in the area in Nevada for three years but had to move to the eastern side of the states a year ago. Ever since I left I've felt like a huge piece of me is still there, and on top of that I've not been able to get my feet under me out here at all. I want to go back more than anything.
I’ve gone backpacking several years and want to go back. Does that count?
The drug problems are no joke man I remember when it became an issue up here (especially south lake) now there's homeless junkie camps all over the damn place along the bike trails. It's turning into a big city slowly but surely and makes me sad. I miss tahoe before all the tourists and homeless set up camp
@@kras230 Maybe there's so much homelessness in the area because it costs $1500 for a shitty studio apartment and there's no resources to keep people homed even if they have jobs. I had a very well paying job out there and still almost ended up being homeless myself because i got hurt at work and then unable to go in to work my hours because of some paperwork hiccups that almost screwed me over hardcore. I got lucky and was able to get out before I ended up on the streets but not everyone is lucky. Drugs are one thing but I can't stand someone getting upset at homeless camps when safe housing FOR the homeless gets destroyed. Better you band people together and get help for those people rather than kicking them off because they are, le gasp, unsightly.
very good video - I love Lake Tahoe but always knew many mysteries were there that I have heard . The area is beautiful but definitely has dark secrets , thanks for shedding light on some of them .Bless up !
Agreed love tahoe, but this video is fascinating
@@cpetemma So fascinating ! Blessings to ya !
I live in Sacramento and I've been going up to Tahoe my whole life for recreation and fun, fun, fun. Skiing, hiking, camping, fishing, gambling, eating out. It's beautiful and yes, can be dangerous if you don't respect it. Despite being able to see the shore, buildings, etc. it is still wilderness. And yeah, if you're going there to party and leave trash or disrespect the area in any way..... Stay home! It's beautiful and we want it to stay that way.
It’s one the most beautiful lakes and areas I’ve ever visited. Can’t wait to go back someday.
Camped at Sugar Pine Point alot growing up and swam in Lake Tahoe. When I was old enough I would swim out to the buoys where it was very deep until one day I felt something brush past my leg and it was not a small fish. I swam like crazy back to shore and from then on would just float on a mattress close to shore. The water in the lake is so cold that your body just goes numb if you stay in for too long and then when you get out it takes a while to warm up again, and that's in the summer. One summer my family and I were relaxing on the beach at Sugar Pine Point when a gentleman fell out of inflatable boat and died. It was very sad, he was there with his family. My friend was camping with her family at same campground and they were there at the beach when it happened. Her father was a SF Fireman and he rendered aid but it was too late. He speculated that the man's heart could not handle the shock he experienced upon falling into the very cold water.
I live in a small town about 30 minutes away from Lake Tahoe in fact, I went there yesterday! It is the most gorgeous place I’ve ever been to, and it is so fun to look at its history and mystery’s
Gardnerville??
Lol was that your first time going? You made it sound like that but yes very beautiful
I used to go to Sand Harbor every single weekend. It's the most beautiful lake I've ever seen. I love it there!
Going there on the 4th of July, to watch the fireworks, is pure heaven!
I seen your posts were 7 months ago. I hope everything is going good for you! I’m a new subscriber and hoping 2022 brings you a million subscribers. I love your videos and edits and your voice. Gives me asmr meets creepy vibes.
I just went camping to lake Tahoe 3 days ago. I was there a week the water so clear and clean. And it is bear season
The only time you dont see bears at Tahoe is when theres fresh snow on the ground
What are you supposed to do in case you come across one? What would you carry with you as far as as equipment/weapons in case you ran into a bear? I'm getting ready to go camping for the first time in spring and bear encounters are one of the things I fear the most. That and randomly coming across someone in the middle of nowhere.

As many Tourists who visit and take photos you would think there would be Photos of Tessie. I grew up in Tahoe and Graduated in 1979 from south Tahoe HS. I never heard of the hundreds of bodies dumped in the Lake. The Worst thing about the Lake are the Tourists or as we called them Turkeys it was bad in the summer but during the winter they were down right Dangerous
I was a Bay Area kid that moved to Oroville in '75. My dad moved to Tahoe in '78 so I spent summer and winter time at Tahoe. I totally forgot they called tourists turkeys until you mentioned it!
Now locals call tourists gapers or flatlanders. Gapers have a their mouths open and don't zip up their jackets. Their jackets get caught on stuff.
When Tahoe people talk they barely move their lips. They are used to the cold. Nearby Truckee has the coldest average temperature in the the country. I noticed the locals talk really fast and are kind of hard to understand.
I was there too from 77 to 81. I remember partying at the rock. Also, the tourists on mopeds were not cool. I still think of how snobby we were about that to this day when I see mopeds. Lol
When I was younger we visited Tahoe and took a tour boat ride around the lake. I was looking off the back of the boat and I kid you not about 100 ft. behind the boat a tail that looked almost like a whale/dolphin tail came out of the water and quickly went back down. It freaked me out because I grew up at the beach in So Cal and have seen this in the ocean, but never thought I'd see that in a lake. I asked if anyone else saw it and the tour guide said "You might have just seen Tessie!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, the Native Americans mentioned Tessie.
lake tahoe was formed after the last ice age... no chance of any monster in it...
@@mjohnson1741 yup.. and tessie is a english word
One of my Fondest Memories is being at Lake Tahoe we used to go there in the summertime to vacation for a couple weeks and it was so beautiful and smells so good nobody knows but it's a lot different now there's way too many people
Ok, here’s a good story that took place at Lake Tahoe in 1922. My father, at the age of four, fell off a dock and sank to the bottom, which can’t have been too deep. He remembered sitting calmly on the bottom looking up at the light, and seeing his father and another man diving in and swimming down to get him. They were astonished to find that my father was perfectly fine and not traumatized by the experience. For the short time he’d sat on the bottom, he’d been slowly drinking the water, rather than panicking. He found the experience more interesting than anything else. My dad was a career officer in the USAF, and served on the Joint Chiefs of Staff. 🙂
Woah!!! So glad he made it out safely, that’s incredible. Thanks for sharing and for his service.
That sounds like the hypothetical of an immortal being sinking to the lake bottom and waiting for his shackles and concrete shoes to rust away
Aww I could’ve been more interesting if he saw two pairs of eyes looking at him from away
When I was 4, and alone with my youngest uncle pushed me in a swimming pool at the deep end about 10' deep.
and I remember sinking to the bottom but wasn't scared at all and remember looking at the shallow end and was starting to go there. My father happened to come home and pulled me out before beating the crap out of my uncle. For many years I thought it was a dream but when I was in my late 30's, he brought up the incident, which I had never told anyone about, and I realized it wasn't a dream. I mentioned it to my other uncles, and they claimed it never happened which came across as chicken shit response but they wanted to defend their little brother because he had died in his late 20's and they felt it was appropriate to lie about how rotten he was.
I still think I could have made it out on my own.
@@kk-wh3hb - You should get yourself a baseball bat and go find your uncle and you know...play some baseball with him. 😜
I live about an hour and a half from Tahoe and a legend says that the circus went across the lake on a boat furring the storm, and an elephant jump in and to this day the elephant is frozen
Thanks for sharing , often wondered about the preserved bodies. Read article in 2007 about it and Jacque Cousteau's experience 😮
I read a book about North shore Tahoe, fishermen catch fish and while reeling in the fish , the fight stops and they only reel in the head part of the fish.
Ive lived in Reno for my whole life and never knew some of this info, it's kinda crazy to think about it tbh. The waters cold asf and now knowing how deep it is lowkey freaks me out 😭

i visited lake tahoe several times in the early 70's for the casinos ,camping and hiking in the area and some skiing at squaw valley. it's a beautiful area and i hope to make it back someday.

Thanks Angela! New video coming soon, just finished recording 💀
I got to go on a Tahoe Turnaround to the South shore when I lived in Fairfield, CA. It was so much fun! We went in April after there had been a record snowfall. The day was sunny, bright blue sky about 50 degrees. People were skiing down the mountains and others were on the lake in their sailboats. It was like a dream world!

Scariest thing about Tahoe are the gas prices.
Back in the early 90s (91' or 92') I worked with a guy who was swimming out by Emerald Bay in Lake Tahoe and swears that he saw a creature with a long giraffe-like neck and a head similar to a horse but with larger eyes surface about 15 feet away from him. He said it looked at him, blew water vapor out of its nose and dove back under water. He said the creature was not trying to attack him and just looked at him for a moment with a look of curiosity before swimming away. He said he would never go swimming in Tahoe again.
Pleasiasour ok...yes they exist
In 1989, due to an extreme drought,Lake Tahoe was at one of it’s lowest levels in it’s documented history. I spent the entire summer there that year, working as a Day-camp counselor for a local youth group. The water was so much warmer than I had ever experienced. We literally walked 1/2 a mile straight into the lake and the water depth never went above our chest.
During the first part of the summer, the body of a well preserved woman, dressed in Victorian style clothing, was discovered on a popular beach. (She had floated up when the water had warmed to a record temperature.)
She ended up being a young woman who fell from a large steamboat/paddle wheel gambling ship, in 1860’s! It took a few weeks to identify her but it was such a great mystery, that even without the existence of the internet, locals searched the archives of newspapers in print and for that era and found the story, as well as an actual photo of the missing woman!
Crazy that there are so many more bodies down in the deepest depths of the lake. It’s really a beautiful place to visit. I visit there very often and the surrounding areas have lots of great outdoor activities as well.
That's some X Files shxx! Wow!
lived in Reno all my life, also worked for the sheriff's office (with substation in Incline Village) never heard ANY of this nonsense.
I lived in the Lake Tahoe area for quite a few years, and I am quite well versed on Lake Tahoe history, so hearing about a "a large steamboat/paddle wheel gambling ship, in 1860’s!" is news to me. Do you have a name to go with that ship? I just happen to know that the only true industry in the Lake Tahoe area was lumber, in fact by the 1860's over 80% of the Lake Tahoe region had been logged out with the trees sent to Virginia City. Tahoe really didn't become a true tourist spot until the rail road was built in 1869, and even then, tourism didn't really start taking off until the 1880's. But even with that I have not been able to find any mention of a large steamboat/paddle wheel gambling ship that used to sail the blue waters of Tahoe. Now over the history of Lake Tahoe there has been a large number of steam ships that have traveled the lake, so maybe you are talking about the famous S.S. Tahoe, she was one of the largest steamships to ever travel the lake. But with a length of 169 feet and a width of only 17 feet, she was not exactly super large, nor was she a paddle wheel gambling ship. And, she wasn't launched until 1896, again not anywhere close to your 1860's time period.
For all the years that I had lived in the Tahoe area, I heard all the stories as well, fully preserved cowboys washing up from the deep dark depths of Tahoe. The Lake Tahoe version of the Lock Ness monster, named Tahoe Tessie. Mass graves of mobsters, from the 1950's and on, sent to sleep with the fishes. Mysterious tunnels that connect Lake Tahoe to other lakes around the country, and so on.... All bullshit. Do yourself a favor, try to look up those stories in official publications, I bet that you will find that none of it is true.
There's a guy who put a camera down 1500ft and filmed what could only be described as a catfish/shark
@@chawnadams9648 Let's see the picture!
I grew up in Sacramento, Ca.
I’ve been to Lake Tahoe more times than I know. The water is always...ALWAYS, COLD 🥶, even in July or August. I’ve never felt anything eerie about the lake. It has a peaceful feel to being there.
Never ever heard about Tahoe Tessie.
I as there circa 1997-2001 era. I was 12-16 years old at that time.
I lived in Lake Tahoe, many people think that even in the middle of summer you can swim in it, no, that water never changes temp. As a very young child a fully dressed Indian chief popped up out of nowhere. Totally mummified. And yes the mafia was there
Great video, as always… ❤ And welcome back, we missed your content!!
Went to Lake Tahoe once some years ago; gorgeous lake with sapphire blue water!! Took a boat tour and then the Heavenly Mountain Gondola for absolutely beautiful views!
This video made me wanna learn more about Lake Tahoe keep it up!!
"incidents are up 85% compared to this time last year" you mean during covid when there was much less people traveling?
Lol, right?!
👏
HA! In fact, South Lake Tahoe saw record numbers of people during COVID. People thought they were being sly by "sneaking off" to Tahoe during lockdown because it's remote but in reality EVERYONE had the same idea. I work at one of the casino hotels here and they all sold out every night.
Awesome content! 🙏. We need more videos.
Weird to say lake tahoe was "discovered" by whoever colonizer that was when it was actually "discovered", inhabited, and used by generations of Washo people before him. That's like me coming to your house, kicking you out, and then saying I discovered it.
Crazy thing about this lake is from it being cold you can feel warm water at times
Those are the bodies
Usually after having too many beers...
Love Mark Twain’s “Roughing It” and the chapter of camping on Tahoe shore. His campfire torched a hillside…no one else there … they reported to the Sheriff who exercised the opportunity to fine them … but, yes, Twain was prone to embellish.
Used to scuba dive Lake Tahoe with friends all the time. We were after Tahoe Crayfish (Crawdads)... big, pink, delicious motherhumpers more the size of lobster than Crawdads. Because of the lakes altitude, had to use totally different dive-tables than the standard sea level tables. Hiked all through Desolation Wilderness Area & camped at Lake Pyramid several times.
And because of this definitely visiting lake tahoe...
🎉added to my bucket list summer here i come😊
I was in the coast guard stationed at tahoe city in 91 & 92. One day our radio watchman received a call from a park ranger at sugar pine point park. He said about 20 cars were parked along the road and about 30 people were standing on the dock looking and pointing at the lake. When he went to investigate what was going on ... ALL the people said the just saw and were looking at "tahoe tessie". We didn't know what to tell home but the whole incident was recorded in our log-book. That many people with the same story... and the fact most of them stoped on the road to go look closer... it is real
To add to my comment.. Tahoe is one of the most beautiful places I have ever spent time. 2 yrs on the water and all around it. I know tahoe intimately.. it was our job to know everything about it and all the named places around it. Every picture I took looks like a postcard. The lake water is so pure u can see the bottom in 100 ft of water. When we were underway in our boat I would put my face in the water and drink. You can ski down a mountain and go swimming in the same day. Girls skiing in bikinis. I cherish the memories I have of that place
The lake been here since dinosaur age im sure there's a couple of species of underwater dinosaur 🦕 living beneath
Lived in Tahoe 40 years and much of this was new to me...
Yes, lived there 46 years and knew many of the old timers, stories and heard first hand accounts of information written up in the books "Saga of Lake Tahoe" Vols 1&2, including the Bliss Family. Not mentioned is the Capt's Ghost of Fanette Island in Emerald Bay. Heard the stories about "bodies dressed in 1late 1800-early 1900 clothing all talked about" and all debunked.
You want "Haunted"? Take the Forest Service road up to Fountain Place, a cattle ranch south of Pioneer Trail Rd. THAT place will make you hair stand on end if you are sensitive to paranormal stuff.
You want history? Visit the Tallac Historic Site formerly summer homes of the very wealthy just north of Camp Richardson.
Why was train video of obviously an EUROPEAN train used instead of the Tahoe Valley Railway owned by DL Bliss for logging the Tahoe Basin? The last serving locomotive from the at RR is in Carson City, I knew a man whose DAD was fireman then engineer on that Locomotive. When Bliss pulled out he bought 1600 acres of land in Tahoe Valley and started the Tahoe Valley Dairy.
My neighbors were casino owners so am well aware of hearing Mafia stories.
It's only just over an hour west of us here in Nevada. Heard it's pretty Squatchy! Awesome!!!
Lake Tahoe has some hella cold water even when it’s hot out, and some good fishing 💯
Windecker’s body was pulled from Lake Tahoe near Rubicon Point in 2011, not in Pyramid Lake. Also extensive mapping of the lake has been done and no such tunnels or graveyards were found. But interesting video nonetheless!
I live in Reno. Let me just say, I will never ever swim anywhere in that lake to where I cannot touch or see the ground.
Did you have an experience or have you heard too many stories?
Ima new sub to your chann because I find the content fascinating and thanks for the vids
LOVE LAKE TAHOE always look forward to visiting from Tulare, CA will continue to go there and sketch, and paint and enjoy the beauty of the area
Was just there . Very beautiful but the waves do get crazy sometimes early as 2pm
The story about lava tubes connecting lake Tahoe to Pyramid lake is an urban legend and the diver who drown in lake Tahoe was found in lake Tahoe, not Pyramid lake.
Dude excellent video. Yeah, I’d like to do some experiments we’ve and I mean our navy got those new AI subs. We could put in there and also have a ping different noises.
I Love Your Artistic Gifts To Us And I Love Your Narration!!
Scariest thing I've seen in Tahoe is when the squirrel population get plague and all have to be eradicated. Happens on a some what regular basis. And I find Donner Lake to be creepier if I'm honest. It feels more ominous when your there.
I agree with you on both points!
I'd lowkey agree, it was like December and I bet my buddy $200 that I would swim out to the booey. He agreed and so I swam out to it. Wasn't super creeped out but it was very cold. Made the money
I live in Reno Nevada and Tahoe is a great place in the summer because it gets very cold so if you are planning to go in summer
Nothing like a super hot day, diving into deep, frigid water. Feels amazing. Haven’t been to Tahoe, but have swam at some deep cold lakes. Flathead in Montana, and Carter Lake in CO.
Flathead Lake ❤️💯
my first qualification dive was in Tahoe before going to Monterey to finalize my PADI license. It was freezing even with a wet suit.
SAW a UFO overlooking Tahoe back in 2001 with 10 other people ! Was something I will never forget - Also that area is known as the Nevada triangle by some which is the rough area of within three cities Fresno , Las Vegas , and Reno which also includes area 51 . Just some of my info on the area . thanks again !
you were probably drunk or high or both!! there are no UFO's
I also saw a ufo fly over tahoe, I was with big foot at the time, we were fishing for loch nes..
As this ufo approached a few of those terracotta warriors came up to see what the commotion was about..
So you saw a military aircraft then
@@michaelvoorhees5978 maybe .. I cant know for sure . Was crazy experience , bless up be safe !
Funny how it's always a triangle... especially when you come to Christ, learn about the occult and all their shennanigans... evil seems to brew in certain areas of the world. They say the Pyramids, not just Egypy, but all of them in the World from Egypt to China and Russia are on "leylines" or lines that have a lot of natural energy from the Earth.
Idk if any of that is true, but i know the Pyramid and the all seeing eye crap is 100% satanic, and the Bible says Satan is the "prince of the power of the AIR" despite the world pop culture thought of a pitchfork wielding, horned devil with a tail in the center of the Earth.
Scripture paints a very different and much more accurate picture. It mentions how the sons of God came down to mate with the daughters of man, and giants were born from this unholy joining. Then God had to flood it. Then i see Egypt and their stone and copper tools, their botched attempt to recreate the pyramids, and i have to say... it sure looks like we had an ancient, very intelligent society that spanned the entire planet, but was then flooded away and mostly lost to time. . .
Makes a man really start to piece this thing called "LIFE" together.
I have a crazy ass story about being followed by some creature in the woods 50 miles south of truckee, but it's too real to leave a UA-cam comment
I live close to Pyramid Lake in Spanish Springs near Sparks, NV.
I am extremely fascinated with the possibility of an underwater tunnel system that connects Lake Tahoe with Pyramid Lake.
Very mysterious lakes, indeed....you forgot to mention the 'Water Babies.'
This reminded me of unsolved mysteries from when I was a kid. The show is not the same anymore.
The picture of sea monster at 6:42 is NOT Tessie but of "Champ" an alleged sea monster found in Lake Champlain. This picture was taken in 1977 by Cheryl Mansi. You should edit your video and remove the photo to ensure your credibility.
You deserve WAAAYYYY more subscribers bro.
Thank you bro! 🔥 that means a lot, I just need to be more consistent
Just found you. Underrated channel for sure.
Tourists get reckless on vacation. I’m from a tiny but massively popular beach town. There was a heatwave last month - I called my mom and asked about the crowds. She said “it’s crazy, the ambulance sirens haven’t stopped all weekend.”
Rented a cabin in south lake Tahoe with friends and family it was huge 3 floors the downstairs room was a game room the first night I was there in the game room alone everyone was asleep upstairs the room has theater seats I felt someone sitting behind me I rand out the room so fast the next day I took plenty of pictures of the family all through the property it was beautiful we enjoyed our time there but after looking through the pictures as I got home ......
@@HighlandHawkeye there was numerous orbs floating in every picture, I don't know what the history on the property but I sure know that several people was killed in the past Mafia ties I guess or maybe further back during the native American days
From my understanding there is a network of underwater tunnels & caverns (some potentially traversable but exceptionally deep & dangerously long with current) that reportedly connect to other local (and not so local) lakes,these underwater tunnels honeycomb & branch out underneath the surounding lakes surface area and from the believable word of a diving associate that has observed several unusual aquatic animals in Lake Tahoe that he was not able to identify,in particular encountering a small group of fish that were long (10-15') thin (3"-4") and fast-moving that were definitely 'NOT' Eels that swam past him in a hurry.
He says they were similar to a 'Ribbon fish'.
He did not mention any large serpent like creatures,but said "anything is possible".
I been to this lake a few times, I live 2hrs away and am planning to visit this awesome lake in June 2022 can't wait
Know what’s sad? All the locals saying “don’t come here” I’ve visited Lake Tahoe since the 1970’s. Skiing at Sierra and Heavenly. Snowboarding at Squaw. Camping and riding horses as a kid at Camp Richardson. Ogling the cocktail waitresses in their togas at Caesar’s in the early 1980’s at age 12. Eating ribs at Carlos Murphy’s. Heck my 5 year old kid brother barfed pina colada in the elevator at Harvey’s months before that crazy dude blew the Top of the Wheel off the top of the building in 1980. Without tourism there would be no Lake Tahoe (the town) And 90% of those commenting knew what it is before moving/ buying property there. It’s been a tourist spot FOREVER. As a native Californian (who’s lived elsewhere since 2016) it doesn’t take long to figure out why the rest of the country feels like too many Californians need a tuneup in the manners department. Sad. My home state was beautiful. And full of nice people. What happened???😞
I've been to Lake Tahoe dozens of times. I've swam in the lake and played on the beach. Heck, I even lived there for a year.
That there are bodies in the lake wouldn't surprise me. That there's a monster of some kind would. I've never heard those stories.
"Swum" 😅 Lol, love it
@@she_sings_delightful_things Thanks.
May or may not have known a “lady of the night” who worked the hotels in the area and ironically she was also called Tahoe Tessie….or maybe it was “That Ho Tessie”, I’m not sure. Either way she was neither elusive or lacking in photographic evidence. Many cell phone videos exist of Her.
I had an offer to move there bout 25 yrs ago. My gut told me no way, glad I listened to myself this time 😆
Was it in the lumber industry?
@@HiddenFiles no, I was in the restaurant industry. We had jobs set up & all. Just didn't feel right.
You probably should have taken it. Property values have gone up like crazy, and almost everything in this video is bullshit. Tahoe is gorgeous. This video is intentionally disingenuous, he says things in the voiceover that don't even match what he displays on screen... the article from the RGJ, he only shows the beginning of where it restates the rumor, and not the bottom of the article that debunks it. Dude tried really hard to make a normal lake "creepy"
I live in lake Tahoe, it's beautiful and mysterious In all spectrums. I have had sublime/strange experiences my 4 years of being here.
I would love to know!
On the lake or on land near the lake? There are some scary comments in here
In the lake and on land.
One day I got stuck under a boat for about a minute (thought I was gonna die) I felt what I can explain a slimy tail wrap around my leg. Mind I am in the middle of the lake and it's deep.. there was no rocks or any sort of fungi near me.... just me and what ever grabbed my leg in the deep open space of the lake.
On land, I was hiking and I saw this milky white humanoid figure with only legs and no upper body coming up the mountain at me and it made a sound I have never heard before in my entire life... no words to describe it. The texture of it was something I never seen. It's bein felt beyond me. Not ghostly or crypted like.... just incredibly disturbing mixed with complexity. What freaks me out more is it is recorded there is a preserved dead elephant at the bottom of the lake.
This is so interesting I want to know more!!!
The Truckee River flows out of Lake Tahoe to Pyramid Lake. It is no mystery that things in Lake Tahoe end up in Pyramid lake.
Imagine how many bodies there are in Lake Michigan in Chicago .
I was 5 years old boating back to Zephyr Cove in 1965 in a wind storm. Could have easily capsized in a small boat. I could be there right now. They don’t publicize finding old bodies there.
I am almost to Lake Tahoe today! Going to be fun!!!
Have fun! Be careful
you should add some low end and compression to the narration , everything else is dope
What was found at the bottom of Lake Tahoe that scared An experienced diver to never go back or even speak about what he saw?
Piles of bodies, creatures picking at dead bodies
An experienced diver found nothing. His fear was that if conspiracy theorists found out, they would suddenly have no meaning in life, and commit mass suicide. He said, "The world is not ready to hear that there are no Chinese Railroad workers down there. Think of all the books that won't be published, all the UA-cam Channels that won't exist, and all the grifting that will never happen! I say NO! The Boring Truth dies with me!"
Hundreds of perfectly preserved bodies. Imagine seeing a preserved body in 1920's attire!!
I live 15 minutes from lake tahoe and have already took a few swims this season. Water is COLD this time of year not like it isn't any other time.
i love how you say it's on one of your places to visit and the yet the video title contradicts that
