Every iPad comes with a cursed lake

It is famous the world over as the picturesque setting of the default iPad screensaver.

But while the beautiful Pyramid Lake, in Nevada, may look tranquil, legend has it the spirits of sick children and a heartbroken mermaid lurk beneath its waters.

According to the myth, the lake is haunted by the ghosts of disabled and premature infants thrown into it.

The saying goes: 'If you hear them you will have bad luck, if you see them you are dead.'
