Artist and lake enthusiast Geo Rutherford studies inland water systems. She's been hosting Spooky Lake Month at her TikTok channel all through the month of October, with plenty of tales of weird waterways. Rutherford did it last year as well, and this is the most popular video of the series.

Smithsonian took six very weird locations from Rutherford's Spooky Lake series and gives us the rundown in text. They include deadly Lake Natron in Tanzania, which is so salty and alkaline that its waters have been used for embalming, and the boiling water of Shanay-Timpishka River in Peru. Lake Kivu, on the border between Rwanda and the DRC, has a tendency to explode. Read the explanations for these and other lakes and rivers that are so weird, legends have grown up around them, at Smithsonian.
