6| Lady of the Lake: Crescent Lake- Olympic National Park
From Tragedy with a View · 38:35
Show by Kayla Kowalski
Nestled within the bounds of Olympic National Park lies a lake with water so pristine and blue, that you think the photos are fake. Rumor has it that many years ago while tribes were at war, a nearby mountain grew angry at the noise, and threw a stone from his top, burying all of those fighting, creating a Lake and laying to rest their dispute. Crescent Lake holds many secrets, and has never once gave up a body that slipped into her deaths. That is, of course, until one night in 1937, when a murdered woman was weighed down and carelessly tossed in. Nature works in mysterious ways, sometimes for humans wanting to hide their secrets, and other times, preserving the evidence for years, until it is exactly the right time to reveal what has been covered. For 3 years, the murderer thought they had escaped. But From the dearth’s of her, lake crescent rose the body to the surface, displaying her weird and horrific talents to the world. Not only did she preserve the body, but she turned her body to soap. Sources: Amundson, Mavis. The Lady of the Lake.
