The Spiteful Mermaid of Pyramid Lake – Pyramid Lake, NV
Native American tribes were centered around Pyramid Lake in Nevada. A man from the Paiute tribe claimed that he fell in love with a mermaid in the lake. His tribe rejected his love and ordered him to stay away from her. In anger, the mermaid cursed the lake. Using her mystical powers, she lured the tribe over and began a war between them and the mermaids of the lake. Locals say the curse lives on as many people drown in the lake.
