Lake of Ghosts

Summary

The Lake of Ghosts is a small lake situated in the richly-forested Iranian province of Mazandaran, and located 48 kilometres (30 mi) from the city of Nowshahr. The settlement nearest the lake is the village of Vanush. The local name for this lake is Mamraz, but it is better known by the names "Ghost Lake" or "Lake of Ghosts" - given it in reference to its eerie swampland landscape featuring countless half-drowned trees, often shrouded in mist, giving them the appearance of phantoms.
