The Sinister Story Behind This Popular Dallas Lake Will Give You Chills
White Rock Lake is located a mere five miles northeast of downtown Dallas. By day, the 1,015-acre city lake is one of the most frequented parks in the Dallas area. But at night, it becomes haunted… at least according to legend. What is it about this lake that casts such a sinister spell?
Its proximity to Dallas lets locals spend the day with nature, and then be back home with plenty of time for dinner.
Special walks, races, and special events are held there most weekends.
The ghost story has been whispered around since the 1930s.
A couple at the park at night was approached by a young woman dressed in all white. She told the couple she had been in a boating accident and needed to get home. She asked for a ride.
When the couple arrived at the address she provided, their mysterious guest was gone, and only a wet spot in the backseat remained.
A slightly different version of the creepy tale tells that she slipped off the pier and drowned.
In these stories, she is said to be looking for something, but no one knows for sure what it is she is seeking.
In this version, the woman is said to have committed suicide by throwing herself in the lake, but she still has unfinished business here in the world of the living.
