Subject: Little Bermuda Triangle in Elliott Co?

I grew up in Elliott Co, on route 7 almost at the Carter Co line. My parents' house is on a hill across the road from the very end (or beginning) of Grayson Lake, and it seems they're in their very own little Bermuda Triangle, marked by deaths and weirdness. Point 1: Standing in front of their house, going down route7 to the LEFT is a wicked curve, though not too bad for that area, in which at least 2 gas & propane trucks have wrecked. I'm thinking there was 1 before I was born, too, but I'll have to check with mom. Anyway, a gas truck wrecked there in the middle of the night, the crash waking my parents. "Balls of fire" were shooting up into the sky, and my parents grabbed all the kids and went to my aunts house and called police. Both men in the truck were burned up. A couple years later a propane truck wrecked, but didn't burn, and we again evacuated.
Point 2: In front of the house, in the lake, lots of people go swimming down there, and lots of them die. Quickly, one minute they're there, the next they're gone. The weirdest I know of was when I was about 10, this little boy comes running up to our house screaming about his daddy. We call authorities and then run down there. The wife said that he was swimming, and she saw him sitting on a rock under a little overhang. When she called to him he didn't answer. She looked away for a moment and then when she looked back he was gone. None of the people who drowned there were ever found.
Point 3: I'm cheating on this one...to the Right is my grandmothers house, and her backyard (which has a creek that runs under the road and empties right into the lake where people drown, oh, and there's a culvert running into the lake under the curve where people wreck...) anyway, her backyard is a place of oddness. My dad says they used to find arrowheads there, and there's a few sink-hole lookin places that get bigger and deeper as the years go by. A couple people have been shot in freak hunting accidents in the woods back there, and you just get an overall feeling of uneasiness when you're there. It seems almost always foggy, though there's no standing water, and kinda freakishly quiet.

Anyway, that's my little story. I'm sure the wrecks and deaths were reported somewhere. Wrecks were in the late 70's, last drowning i know of was 85 or so. I could find out more specifically if you have any interest at all.
