Episode 118: Haunted Lake Okeechobee

**SKIP TO TO 15:53 GET TO THE STORY** What’s hiding in the shallows of Lake Okeechobee? If the legends of Undead Pirates, Ghost Towns, Cursed Lands, and mysterious tracks in the mud don’t spook you, the thousands of real human remains and deadly toxic algae will definitely make you think twice about entering the water. This week, Nat dredges up all the haunted dirt on this giant cursed puddle to take Aly adrift on what is known to be the site of the second deadliest hurricane in U.S. history! Buckle Up, it’s going to be unsafe in so many ways!!
