Hoax Hunters: Can a lake turn animals to stone?

Description

Have you ever heard of Lake Natron? It’s located in Tanzania, Africa, and, if you believe the internet, it can instantly petrify anything that touches it. Lucky for us, we have a direct line to the Hoax Hunters (aka Sanden and Marc) - they love myths, and they hate getting tricked. Along the way to saying yea or nay to this stoney phenomenon, the Hoax Hunters speak with Neovitus Sianga. Not only does he have firsthand knowledge of the lake, but he works for African People and Wildlife, where he helps protect the environment around Lake Natron. We also have a brand new Mystery Sound… and Marc and Sanden start a cleaning service?!? Guest: Neovitus Sianga Want more Hoax Hunters?
