More About “The Lake”:
On a man-made lake, known for its unusually high fatalities, Michael takes his girlfriend, Jamie, out on a canoe to propose. When something hits the boat and Michael drops the ring, he jumps in to retrieve it. While he’s under the surface, Jamie is horrified to see a dark figure watching her from the water. When Michael reemerges, Jamie is gone. As he calls for her, he realizes that a ghostly man is in the water with him. Frightened, he scrambles into the canoe and paddles toward the only remaining oar. Just as the oar nears his reach, Jamie rises from the water with a ghostly appearance, and pulls him under. His flashlight flutters to the lake floor illuminating a gravestone from a flooded cemetery.
