Episode Description

In this week's episode, we are headed to North Carolina - Lake Norman, NC.

Lake Norman looks peaceful at first glance — miles of open water stretching across North Carolina’s Piedmont, dotted with quiet coves, sailboats, and lakeside homes. But beneath that calm surface lies a drowned valley. Entire communities once stood where boats now drift. Roads end abruptly underwater. Foundations, churches, and forgotten farmland remain frozen in time beneath the depths of the Catawba River.

For decades, witnesses have reported sightings of something moving through the water. Known locally as “Normie,” the Lake Norman Monster.

But Normie isn’t the only legend tied to the lake. Boaters have long whispered about the Lady of the Lake — a pale figure said to appear along the shoreline or drifting near submerged roads.

Blending local history, eyewitness accounts, folklore, and the unexplained, this episode explores whether Lake Norman’s mysteries are simply stories born from imagination… or echoes of something still waiting beneath the surface.
