Norwegian Lake Was The Home Of Nazi Nuclear Artifacts
[ranking: 10]
Allied forces managed to sink a ferry as it sailed along Lake Tinn in 1944, en route to a secret Nazi base where scientists were attempting to build a nuclear bomb. It was believed the ferry carried barrels of "heavy water," an integral ingredient produced by a nearby hydroelectric plant.
Whether or not the ferry contained dangerous materials remained a mystery until 2005, when it was confirmed that the heavy water was indeed on board.
Well-Preserved Skeletons At The Bottom Of A Himalayan Lake
[ranking: 6]
A number of well-preserved skeletons were discovered in Roopkund, a remote lake high in the Himalayan Mountains, in 1942. Investigators were baffled at the skeletons' presence there, as there had been no known settlements in the area.
It wasn't until 2004 that scientists were able to date the remains back to some time around 850 AD.
A Massive Crucifix
[ranking: 13]
There's an 11-foot statue of Jesus on the cross submerged at the bottom of Lake Michigan. The Italian marble sculpture was first commissioned in 1956 by the family of a boy who died in a farming accident.
The crucifix was damaged on its way from Italy to the US, and the family refused to accept it. Later, the statue was purchased by a diving team and lowered into the lake as a memorial for deceased divers.
An Undetonated Bomb
[ranking: 9]
In June 1988, a live 100-pound World War II-era bomb was discovered at the bottom of Lake Washington in Seattle. We don't yet know how it got there, but the going theory is that a warplane flying in or out of an airfield that once stood in the area may have dumped the bomb in the lake.
Why a pilot would do such a thing remains a mystery.
The Baltic Sea Anomaly Is Probably the Millenium Falcon
[ranking: 2]
There's much speculation about the history of an object discovered deep at the bottom of the Baltic Sea between Sweden and Finland in 2012. It is roughly 200 feet in length and circular, but this is about the extent of researchers' knowledge. Whether it was man-made or a naturally-occurring phenomenon, no one can definitively say.
Some, of course, speculate the object is an alien spacecraft. This does seem to be the most probable answer, since it is clearly the Millennium Falcon.
The Face Of Satan's Offspring's Plaything
[ranking: 16]
Redditor /u/ssullivan16 said their brother found this at the bottom of a lake while diving for clams. It could simply be a part of some discarded toy that has seen better days... Or, it could be a desiccated doll misplaced by some terrifying hellspawn. You choose!
