- When a new dam flooded the Jocassee Valley in 1973, the new lake became one of the deepest in the American Southeast and washed away the memories of a family who had built a life there.
What mysteries survive below the deep dark waters of South Carolina's Lake Jocassee? It will take a team of specially trained divers to discover what, if anything, could still be standing at the bottom of the "holy grail" of man-made lakes.

SC native here! Jocasse is my favorite place! My nanny went to the girls camp.
Omg Lake JoCassee..
Been there on that Lake so many times who knew......
@1:31 We miss and love you Debbie ❤️
I have been on the lake countless times and we always knew what was submerged beneath it. Cemeteries, churches, barns and houses still intact, and of course the old lodge which was famous. The Jocassee waters are nearly crystal clear and the water is noticeably colder than other lakes of the region with many beautiful waterfalls falling directly into the lake giving it an almost Nordic atmosphere. It is gorgeous.
I am new to SC..and I am looking for a lake that is clean and safe to swim in. Would you recommend Lake Jocasse? I would be going alone. I am a lead singer in a band here in Myrtle Beach and need to get away!
@2:27 “Uncle Bud” Took that picture from his airplane in 1965 and that’s Attakulla in the center of the photo.
Great story!!❤️
Some of my ancestors, the Chapmans, had a house there. They lived there since at least 1778. There house was still there, I think in the 70s or 80s.
Looks as if these towns was flooded fast some strange stuff
My husband rode the valley with his grandfather on his mail route
It was sad 😢
This short documentary has some interesting history, but seems a but melodramatic and one-sided. The creation of this lake has innumerable upsides as well. The positive economic impact to the area, the ability to use the lake for hydroelectric power generation, use of the lake for cooling at Oconee power station, use as a reservoir for water supply to Greenville, and many more. It's easy to focus on the negative aspects of the lake's creation, but it was not created out of spite or malice and should not be framed that way.
Dude that's at all hydroplants with a lake, the point is it use to be successful black own areas down there and the wiped it out like oscarville and lake Norman and fonta farna
Well said sir!! Well said. I live in the upstate of South Carolina and not one word of the land that was taken from black people in this state at least they were well paid.
@@letelieracker1444 How the fu"ck do do know that? Nothing is well said your kind of people are nothing but a bunch of greedy blood sucking leeches you always have to come take something from someone that does not have the power to fight back just like you did to the Native Indians. You make me sick.
And the destruction of the upstate continues
