There is a water tower in West Virginia, near the Virginia border, where a young man went swimming one night, drunk and alone. He drowned and nobody knew his body was there in the water until the residents near the water tower started seeing cloudy water coming from their taps with an odd smell.
The water treatment plant operators sent someone to the water tower, high on a mountain, and there was the man's truck and clothes. They discovered his decomposing body in the tower. People there were upset when others joked "There must be something in the water," for every little ailment they were plagued with for years after the fact.
