If you delve deep down to the bottom of any lake or river, you are likely to find some
interesting things, but mostly junk and waste.
However, some folks have come across many unexplainable things, even making history
with their findings.
So today on Top 5 Scary Videos, I’m going to be counting down our list of the Top 5
Scary Things Found In Lakes.
Before we begin though, be sure to stick around until the end of the video where I’ll be
responding to some of your comments, and with that, let’s jump in.
5 Sea-Devil Back on February 1st, 2013, researchers using
scanning equipment in Lake Labynkyr announced that they had discovered what they claimed
were the skeletal remains of an ancient sea serpent, described locally as the devil.
A dozen divers braved legends of monsters and the coldest winter temperature to venture
into the Lake in order to get into the Guinness World Book of Records.
Using an underwater scanner, they discovered a jaw and skeletal remains that could in fact
belong to the infamous ‘Devil’ that was first reported by locals in the 19th century.
Now, the divers didn’t meet the creature itself - but managed to film the bottom of
the lake, and along the way discovering evidence of the jaws and skeleton using an underwater
scanner.
Geologist Viktor Tverdokhlebov wrote of the ‘Devil’ stating: “There have been all
sorts of hypotheses about what kind of creature it could be: a giant pike, a relic reptile
or an amphibian.
We didn’t manage to prove or to disprove these versions...we managed to find the jaws
and skeleton of some animal.”
However, there were sadly no pictures released of these findings, posing a lot of questions
as to whether they discovered anything at all.
So, whether the Sea Devil exists is up to you.
4 Mini-Stonehenge Back in 2007, a team of archaeologists discovered
a Stonehenge-like structure at the bottom of Lake Michigan, which is absolutely insane.
As most should know, Stonehenge in the UK is one of the most famous prehistoric monuments,
but now thanks to this discovery, it’s not the only one of its kind.
According to Mark Holley, a professor of underwater archeology discovered a series of stones arranged
in a circle 40 feet below the surface of Lake Michigan.
One of the stones discovered appears to have carvings that resemble a mastodon - an elephant-like
animal that went extinct about 10,000 years ago.
I quote: “When you see it in the water, you’re tempted to say this is absolutely
real.
But that’s what we need the expert to come in and verify.”
Now, if the formation is authenticated, it wouldn’t be totally bizarre considering
that other stone circles have been discovered in the area, as well as some Petroglyphs,
specifically the Sanilac Petroglyphs Historic State Park.
A park which contains the largest collection of Native American petroglyphs in Michigan.
The carvings were said to be created in the pre-Columbian era and represents aspects of
Native American spirituality.
3 A Ghost Town Back in 2011, there was a prolonged drought
in Texas, which resulted in the remnants of a small town called Bluffton quite literally
coming to the surface.
Now, the original town site was submerged by Lake Buchana.
When the Buchanan Dam was completed in the 30s, it flooded the original townsite.
Following the incident, the entire town was moved several miles to the west, forcing residents
to abandon ranches and successful pecan trees.
However, like I said, in 2011, a severe drought caused lake levels to drop, re-exposing the
old town along with its gravestones.
Johnny C. Parks died two days before his birthday almost a century ago, with his grave being
one of money to slip from sight and into the lake.
However, now the cracked marble tombstone has reemerged.
Across the state, the drought has revealed a prehistoric skull, ancient tools, fossils,
and a small cemetery that appears to contain the graves of freed slaves.
Local historians have of course been attracted to the site, I quote: “In an odd way, this
drought has provided an opportunity to view and document, where appropriate, some of these
finds and understand what they consist of.
Most people in Texas probably didn’t realize what was under these lakes.”
2 The Disappearances In September of 2013, two cars were discovered
at the bottom of Foss Lake, near Elk City, Oklahoma.
6 bodies were discovered in two rusted-out cars that were pulled from the lake.
This may actually have solved the dual mysteries of a set of teens who went missing in the
70s, as well as a trio of grown men who went missing in the late 50s or 60s.
The two cars were spotted by Highway Patrol while testing out new sonar equipment in Foss
Lake on the western edge of the state.
Divers were quickly called in and later returned with a crumbling 1969 Camaro and a 1950s Chevrolet
from the bottom of the muddy lake.
In both cars they discovered bones, as well as a human skull in the water.
The divers went on to uncover six bodies -- three skeletons in each car.
Debbie McManamman’s grandfather, Alvi Porter, drove a green Chevy like the one discovered.
She said, I quote: “I remember that green car, yes.
It’s sad.
I mean, I can still see his tall, lanky body walking up to the car.”
The Camaro on the other hand matches one driven by 16-year-old Jimmy Allen Williams.
The teen went for a drive with friends Thomas Michael Rios and Leah Gail Johnson on November
20th, 1970 before vanishing and disappearing forever.
The two cars would rest side by side for more than four decades until their discovery.
Kim Carmichael, a friend of William, stated: “I just remember how devastated everybody
was.
We lived in a little town...Nothing like that ever happened Sayra.”
Now, the discovery was a total accident, with troopers not being prepared for what they
were going to find.
I quote: “We thought it was just going to be stolen vehicles, and that’s not what
it turned out to be, obviously.”
1 Tom Sublett Back in December of 2012, investigators discovered
the remains of Tom Sublett, the commissioner of Glynn County, Georgia, at the bottom of
a lake.
His body was found floating between a dock and a boat at the St. Simons Boating and Fishing
Club at around 6am, which was almost 4 hours after his wife became alarmed that he had
not returned home.
Now, what is oddly suspicious about the incident is the simple fact that Police Chief Matt
Doering refused to say how he died and no one reported seeing Sublett alive in the seven
hours between leaving his fishing club friends and turning up in the lake.
In the hours before his body was discovered, there was an incoming tide moving upstream
from the dock toward the boating club.
So saying that, where he was discovered isn’t necessarily where an incident took place.
Now, an autopsy was done on the body, but no motive was put forward, but Doering did
confirm that some items were missing from Tom Sublett.
What the Police Chief refused to comment on was the fact that Sublett’s hands were bound
together and there was bullet cavity in his dead -- something they remained oddly hush-hush
about.
They also found an empty holster in his car and ammunition, but no weapon was ever discovered.
According to the medical examiner, Sublett took his own life.
But the question is, how do you shoot yourself when your hands are bound?
Something is fishy about this entire thing.
Well, there we have it!
Do you guys agree with our list?
Were there any scary lakes that we missed?
