Feature interview: the world's scariest lakes

From Afternoons, 3:10 pm today

Lakes are spooky. Not the supernatural, poltergeist kind of spooky, but the kind nature provides with deep dark water and strange, sometimes unexplainable characteristics. Geo Rutherford is a writer, illustrator and hobby limnologist with more than 2 million TikTok and Instagram followers. October is Spooky Lake month, and Rutherford takes us on a tour of some of the creepiest lakes on earth where water is briny, it can mummify any living thing that touches it or the Crater Lake in Oregon where a phantom tree stump has been bobbing upright in the water for 400 years.
