Statue Of Jesus, Lake Michigan

Lake Michigan holds a lot of eerie things. Sitting on the bottom of this lake is an 11-foot white marble cross with a life-sized statue of Jesus at the moment he was crucified. The story behind this statue’s creation is very sad. A family lost their 15-year-old son in very tragic circumstances and requested the statue be crafted by an Italian artist in 1956. Unfortunately, the statue was damaged on it’s way from Italy to the US, and the family who ordered it refused to accept it in its condition. The statue was then sold to a diving team, who placed it in the lake as a memorial to lost divers.

Submerged Plane, Lake Norman

Back in 2013, sonar equipment detected a submerged plane sitting at the bottom of Lake Norman in North Carolina. The situation raised some red flags as there was no report of a crash in that area and, once divers went to check out the wreck, no bodies were discovered. It was later determined that a woman by the name of Barbara Anderson owned the plane. She claimed flight instructors forgot to put up the landing gear on the plane, causing it to sink. The woman had apparently been looking for the plane for quite a while and was unable to locate it.
