Can I call attention to this part of the article:

Every year the lake sacrifices someone. Specifically, the "Legend of the Lady of the Lake" contends that "the lady" calls young men out to the middle of the lake and drowns them. In all versions, the lady is an Indian princess who herself drowned in the lake, for reasons that vary depending on the story. Undoubtedly there are people who drown in the lake on occasion. Whether that's because of a curse, you decide ...; 3

The last sentence strikes me as trying to mystify the reader and convincing them to believe in the legend. Isn't that somewhat non-NPOV or at least unfit for the style of Wikipedia? Seems to me like its out of place.

In actuality, since 1963, thirty two men drowned in the lake, no women. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhkRpyRn6xM

MAYBE A PICTURE OF THE LAKE WOULD BE NICE!!!
