Ghostly Secrets of Lake Chatuge

Lake Chatuge in Haiwassee Georgia, was constructed in 1941. Like other lakes, construction for the project interrupted the living and the dead at the time. The lake is located in Towns County, and has developed a reputation through the years for tragic accidents and eerie tales. Some believe the spirits never truly left.

After dusk, people have reported seeing ghostly figures walking along the shoreline. Often, the figures are described as lost, drifting aimlessly, and unaware of the living world around them. But as night falls, the ambiance changes, as eeriness blankets the land, like a heavy fog.

Was that chill from the cool mountain air, or was it a spirit that touched your shoulder with a cold touch to remind you that they’re still there? Or even a glimpse from the corner of your eye is a shadowy figure that still walks the land, what you thought it was.

Not a lot is written about this Georgia Oasis, but the ones that have will leave you petrified.
