The ghost of a woman in a white evening gown, dripping lake water, has terrorized residents around White Rock Lake in Dallas for many years.

Alternately called Woman in White, Lady in White or Lady of White Rock Lake, her spirit manifests in different ways:

• A pretty girl in an evening dress, drenched to the skin, hitchhikes along Garland road by the lake. Drivers stop, she gets into the backseat of the car, gives her address, then disappears, leaving a wet seat.
• A young woman appears on the front porch of homes facing the lake, supposedly asking to use the telephone. When owners come to the door, she shrieks and disappears, leaving behind only a puddle of water.
• The ghost has also been reported seeking help from young couples parked in cars along deserted roads surrounding the lake.

Legend is that during the 1920s, a Dallas man and his female companion attended a formal event involving drinking on a boat on White Rock Lake. The couple argued. When the boat docked, the woman jumped off the boat, onto the dock, into their automobile and drove off. As she approached the intersection of Lawther Drive and Garland Road, she lost control of the car. The car plunged into the lake, killing the woman.

Backwoods to Border (Texas Folklore Society, 1943), contains the first written account of the Ghost of White Rock Lake:

One hot July night a young city couple, having driven out and parked on the shore of White Rock Lake, switched on the headlights of the car and saw a white figure approaching. As the figure came straight to the driver’s window, they saw it was a young girl dressed in a sheer white dress that was dripping wet.

She spoke in a somewhat faltering voice.

I’m sorry to intrude, and I would not under any other circumstances, but I must find a way home immediately. I was in a boat that overturned. The others are safe. But I must get home.

She climbed into the rumble seat, saying that she did not wish to get the young lady wet, and gave them an address in Oak Cliff, on the opposite side of Dallas.

The young couple felt an uneasiness concerning their strange passenger, and as they neared the destination the girl, to avoid hunting the address, turned to the rumble seat to ask directions. The rumble seat was empty, but still wet.

After a brief, futile search for the girl in white, the couple went to the address she had given and were met at the door by a man whose face showed lines of worry. When he had heard the couple’s story, the man replied in a troubled voice.

This is a very strange thing. You are the third couple who has come to me with this story. Three weeks ago, while sailing on White Rock Lake, my daughter was drowned.

Investigators have documented paranormal activity, such as cold spots, orbs, sounds, mists and ghostly shapes. Folklorists say that this is just a urban legend and is present in one form or another in many areas in the US. No one knows for sure . . .

If you are traveling around White Rock Lake in Dallas and you see a woman in white hitchhiking, stop and pick her up. If she gives you an address on Gaston Avenue, keep your eye on the rearview mirror, for she will disappear, leaving only a wet spot on your backseat.
