Lore
Some interesting myths surround Tippecanoe Lake. The most famous include: The "bottom" of the lake is a false bottom made up of silt, under which lies a spring that extends 200 feet (61 m)-300 feet (91 m) feet below the surface of the lake, somewhere in the lake lies a crashed airplane, and that SCUBA divers reportedly dove the deepest depths of the lake only to surface when the fish became larger than the divers. Rumors and legends maintain that the plane that crashed into the lake was a B-17 Flying Fortress that ran out of fuel, or a smaller private airplane. This rumor cannot be positively confirmed.

Famous quotes containing the word lore:
“The lore of our fathers is a fabric of sentences.... It is a pale gray lore, black with fact and white with convention. But I have found no substantial reasons for concluding that there are any quite black threads in it, or any white ones.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“The lore of our fathers is a fabric of sentences. In our hands it develops and changes, through more or less arbitrary and deliberate revisions and additions of our own, more or less directly occasioned by the continuing stimulation of our sense organs. It is a pale gray lore, black with fact and white with convention. But I have found no substantial reasons for concluding that there are any quite black threads in it, or any white ones.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
