“This might hurt a little,” the lady in blue tells the four-year-old clinging to the roaring jet ski. Trees blur. The throttle won’t let go. What follows is a tragedy turned miracle, a fate that shouldn’t have been possible.

Today's episode is actually a loaner from Spirits Uncorked, a podcast all about the very haunted Lake Lanier. Their guest, Alyse, takes us back to her childhood at War Hill Park on Lake Lanier, just north of the Highway 53 bridge long linked to the Lady in Blue. You've heard Homespun Haints talk about Lake Lanier and what lies beneath it, but this first-hand ghost story is what really convinced us the legend must be true.

For more Lake Lanier ghost stories and history, subscribe to Spirits Uncorked at LanierGhostTours.com (or take a boat tour with them, if you dare).

Wanna hear Becky tell Diana about the source of her Lake Lanier phobia in a wickedly ribald tone? Well, Hainted Loves, you know you have to go to Patreon.com/HomespunHaints to hear the filthy stuff. This feed swap episode is also available in (partial) video format over on our Patreon.

Thank you to our friends at Southern Gothic Media for introducing us to Elizabeth and Erica of Spirits Uncorked!

What would Becky and Diana be like if we were brothers? Perhaps we'd be a bit like skeptical Kamen and believer Phreak, hosts of Two Brothers Two Agendas, a paranormal podcast exploring everything from cryptids to conspiracy theories. Go check out their show whenever you need a break from the estrogen, and let us know, mmkay? https://theeverydayheroes.com/two-brothers-two-agendas/
