I would like to welcome you to spooky lake month

Um yes hello! I’m on almost no social media, but I make an exception for TikTok, because its algorithm reads my mind. By doing this it has introduced me to Spooky Lake Month, which happens every year in October and consists of one lady doing 30 days of mini documentaries on spooky bodies of water. Folks, I am obsessed. Every year during spooky month it’s um yes hello!

If you, like me, enjoy the cross section of hydrology and goosebumps I’m gonna link the account and then you can browse at your leisure. I’m sure she has covered your favorite spooky water thing at one point (for me it was the glory hole dam stuff like lake berryessa where they decided to make the dam look like a bathtub in the absolute worst way possible)

If you wanna know where to start anything Lake Baikal is great, Neutrino tank is super eerie looking, Radium springs is horrifying, and as mentioned the lake berryessa spillway makes me feel things I don’t wanna feel.

I dunno just wanted to share a neat thing that people might not know about!

Aghh well shit, I thought I had something new here :joy:

I usually ignore the sounds coming out of my wife’s phone whenever she’s on tiktok, but the moment i hear a “um yes hello” i stop whatever it is that i’m doing

Since everyone already knows about it this is now the SPOOKY LAKE MONTH (and adjacent media) APPRECIATION THREAD :smiling_face_with_tear:

Some adjacent media, long form: VG takes you through the dramatic diving death in the Plura cave and the following rescue operation. A retelling of the Plura cave diving accident(s) it’s harrowing claustrophobic and just a big nope. I’m a scuba diver but I’m NEVER entering a cave. Nothing for me in there.

I was checking off a bucket list item a couple of months ago, swimming in a mexican cenote! I’m so torn on maybe wanting to scuba dive one at some point because the fish were super interesting and I could watch them for ages but the one I swam in had a cave part and just looking in there gave me the heebie jeebies…it’s probably the only cave I’d ever try scuba diving in and even then I’d try to stay close to the exit…
