Are there any legends or ghost stories associated with Patoka Lake in Indiana?

My family is planning a reunion at Patoka Lake and we were wondering if it is haunted or if there are any legends associated with it to scare our kids with?

    I'm not sure if this will help,but Indiana has a huge list, so I'm sure you don't find anything about the lake itself, you could find something about the surrounding areas.
