0:00.0 | It might seem unlikely, but the world's many lakes are some of the most unusual, unexplained, and deadly natural phenomena on the planet. |
0:09.2 | From unheard-of natural events to countless human disappearances and even bodies of water which suddenly vanish and reappear again, let's dive in to some of the most mysterious lakes out there. |
0:23.6 | You're listening. You're listening. You're listening to be amazed. |
0:33.6 | We start first with Dead Lake. The name of this one alone should be enough to tell you that this |
0:39.4 | lake in Kazakhstan is far from your ordinary body of water. Otherwise known as Lake Candy, |
0:45.6 | this 1,300 foot long lake near the southern city of Almaty is steeped in a long history of |
0:51.5 | mystery including human deaths, most of which were unlucky tourist drownings. |

2:20.4 | Tessie might not be the only reason people lost their lives here, though, |
