In this episode, your host Lisa will discuss the history and rumors of Underwater Ghost Towns of Greers Ferry Lake.
In 1938, Congress established the Flood Control Act which enlisted the U.S. Corp of Engineers to go in and create dams in areas where there were flooding problems around rivers which included the Little Red River in Arkansas. This set the path for 6 communities/towns to be either displaced or covered in water.
Learn about the rumors and the true stories about the beautiful but eerie Greers Ferry Lake!!!Disclaimer---Unexplained America the Podcast began in December of 2023 as Unexplained Arkansas.
