#86 A Killer In The Lake

In the late evening of August 21, 1986 a killer swept through the Cameroonian village of Nyos. This killer claimed the lives of every man, woman, child, and animal it came across. By the morning of the 22nd, nearly 2000 people were found dead. Many seemed to have dropped right in their tracks, whether in the middle of making dinner, or getting ready for bed, some even died while driving or walking home. The worst part was, this was not the first time this killer had struck. This is the story of the killer in the lake!

Nyla Tragedy

This reminds me of what happened at horseshoe Lake in Mammoth Area California. It’s very surreal to go there and see the dead trees knowing that many people lost their lives and animals as well. You guys did great on this episode. I’m hooked!
