So there's something that happens at the bottom of these cold freshwater lakes.
It's called saponification.
where the cold freshwater minerals in the water interact with human skin.
And there's a chemical reaction called sponification, which creates a substance called adipocere, which is like a waxy substance.
And so a human body in a cold freshwater lake essentially becomes just a giant bar of soap.
And that crust of soap on your body just keeps you preserved and you just stay kind of intact, which is really spooky.
Lake Tahoe is like one of those lakes that'll hold on to you forever.
And divers have disappeared there.
There's been shipwrecks there, which we still have not discovered.
We don't know where they are.
And Lake Tahoe can have a really crazy shift of weather where there can be like a huge storm on Lake Tahoe, which can take down ships and take down people.
And so, yeah, Lake Tahoe is definitely qualifies as a spooky lake.
Unfortunately, it is a little too beautiful when you're there in person.
You're like, wow.
And I went swimming there.
It's just so beautiful.
Ooh, I also visited the Salton Sea.
That was actually the one I was most excited about because I knew, I knew it would be spooky and it lived up.
It was very spooky.
And like, it was so hot the day that we went there in August.
