Once you notice the voluminous stories on this topic and begin to delve into the articles then you can begin to see how it is all a sham, that there is no way that what they tell you happens, indeed does.
Note how many drowning stories are like this..."man dives in and never comes back up". My friends, when one dives in, it is a natural instinct to hold your breath. And no one would dive into a lake for a trivial reason, if they were not a decent swimmer. I would guess that with over 90% (probably closer to 100) of real drownings, the victims are always seen or heard struggling. For a person to dive in and never to resurface they would most likely have had to been severely injured in the dive itself and caused them to be incapacitated. Normally when one casually dives into any water their first thought is "coming back up", and that is what they do, cause people can not stay under water very long at all.
Note the ages of most of these folks...young as in early twenties or teens...or infants and toddlers. All of the linked stories below either occur in Dan River watershed or the people are from the Dan River watershed.
