White Rock Lake

The Story

Dallas’s preservation office recounts a soaked woman in white asking passing motorists for a ride home. Before they arrive she disappears, leaving a wet seat. The tale has circulated in several versions; the city notes that no known drowning fits all its details. One identifiable lake-level folklore site. Do not map a supposed family home or present a private address as a destination.
