Legend has it that three Irish shale workers crossed the lake while rowing, never to return, and the bodies were never found. After a full day on the lake, you can hide from the ghosts of boaters on this lake and find a safe place.

The three men are said to have tried to get to the other side but forgot. The inhabitants of this lake have seen unknown, rudderless rowing boats silently crossing the lake, some as far as a mile away.
