Lake Nokoué

Lake Nokoué is a natural inland coastal lagoon in southern Benin, approximately 20 km wide and 11 km long, covering about 4,900 hectares. It is fed in part by the Ouémé and Sô rivers, which deposit sediments into the lake. Contemporary sources treat the site in terms of geography and ecology: scientific studies have examined fish populations and condition factors in Lake Nokoué. The supplied research materials make no mention of supernatural entities, apparitions, hauntings, or folkloric phenomena associated with the lake or nearby settlements such as Ganvié. While Ganvié and the surrounding region are culturally significant in other contexts, the provided sources contain no ethnographic or folkloric documentation of paranormal claims for Lake Nokoué.
