Deep in the backwoods of Alabama lies Skull Lake, a body of water that the locals treat with a hushed reverence and a healthy dose of fear. It isn't just the name that keeps people away—it's the thing that lives in the depths. Join us as we uncover the bone-chilling legend of Skull Lake. We explore the story of a terrifying secret and the ancient creature that will do anything to keep it hidden.
