K17J2: Kirottu järvi

Georgian suurin tekojärvi Lake Lanier on miljoonien ihmisten lomanviettopaikka, mutta jotkut karttavat sitä kuin ruttoa. Järven paikalla sijaitsi aiemmin eloisa Oscarvillen kaupunki, jonka historia on verinen ja häpeällinen. Useiden hautausmaiden rikottu rauha on väitetysti johtanut siihen, että levottomat sielut vaanivat viattomia uimareita. Ne nappaavat jalasta kiinni ja vetävät syvyyksiin. Maantiesillalla puolestaan vastaan voi tulla sinipukuisen naisen haamu, merkkinä yhdestä uhrista, jonka järvi on nielaissut kitaansa. Onko Lanier-järvi kirottu?
