Lake Superior is considered to be one of the most haunted lakes of all time due to the insanely high number of unrecovered shipwrecks and bodies that litter the lake floor. In fact, Lake Superior has earned two foreboding nicknames: “The Lake That Never Gives Up Her Dead” and “The Graveyard of the Great Lakes”. Lake Superior has also earned the title of being one of the “Top 10 Most Haunted Lakes in the World”. Today we learn about the most famous of all of the bodies still entombed on the lakebed floor: “Old Whitey”. Whitey’s corpse is found floating inside the engine room of the SS Kamloops, which sank on the Canadian side of Lake Superior in the 1920s and has never been removed. Divers report seeing Old Whitey’s corpse AND his ghost floating around the ship, following them throughout the wreckage. And if that weren’t scary enough, we also delve into the the fear known as “submechanophobia”, which Aly definitely has.
