"BHOG" unresolved mystery of Talab

Many people died in the Gol Talab. These deaths could be explained in the following two ways:

Scientific: An unskilled swimmer may go in deep water and drown. Or a good swimmer could drown due to muscle cramp while swimming.

Mythological: It is belief of many that the completion of any big construction (e.g. bridge, power dam) requires sacrificial blood of an animal. This blood pleases "Devi" and gets her blessing.
While ignoring this sacrificial ritual brings her wrath. Then she starts taking life every year.

May be, when this Talab was dug first time, everyone forgot the sacrificial part. Now this Devi’s/goddess wrath comes in the form of BHOG. Eyewitness say that they have seen floating hair. However when the water of the goal Talab was pumped out during the late 70's, people awaited for surprise. Dashing the hope of many nothing was found.

Conclusion:
While swimming in the middle of the Talab, weeds kiss your feet and the water temperature changes. Have you ever felt chills run down your spine?
Do you believe in BHOG?
