Terrell Shelton, 21, whose sister called him a 'good swimmer,' mysteriously drowned in a Georgia lake that some believe is haunted.

A 21-year-old man vanished while swimming in Lake Lanier, a lake known for “haunted” folklore, and was found dead that night. Here's what we know.

Since 1994, over 200 people have died in the lake’s waters, with locals long suggesting the lake is haunted. Terrell Shelton’s death was the seventh reported in Lake Lanier this year.
