This episode journeys to the world’s most unsettling lakes, blending science, history and folklore to reveal how water can preserve, kill, or hide mysteries. From Tanzania’s stone-like carcasses and the Himalayan Skeleton Lake to Cameroon’s deadly limnic eruption and Siberia’s abyssal encounters, the hosts unpack eerie phenomena and local legends. They also explore submerged towns, ancient bog burials, toxic contamination and undersea brine pools, asking what remains beneath still water—and why those depths continue to haunt us.
