Summary

People like to come to Lake George to go fishing, boating, and take up other water activities... like screaming! If you stand in the right spot, you can hear yourself as if the sound wave passed through a giant megaphone. Scientists still can't explain this acoustic phenomenon or figure out the reason for this behavior of the sound waves. It could be because of a small curved wall surrounding the platform. There's also an old legend according to which a magical creature appeared at this spot and shouted towards the water, and its wisdom has echoed throughout the lake ever since.
