Ghostly Tales

THE WHITE LADY OF LOVER'S LANE

Two lovers embraced in a lover’s lane. They had come from a summer movie in White Lake Rock, Texas, a small town just outside of Dallas. Though the young man's attention was locked to the girl at his side, the driver could not help catching a glimmer of white moving down the narrow road toward them.

"Maybe it's the cops," he said in a low voice. The couple watched as the shimmering white light grew in size and intensity.

"Good Lord!" he said in a hoarse whisper. The shimmering white had become a figure - the figure of a woman. The girl at his side screamed as the ghostly woman walked directly toward their car. She appeared to be dripping wet.
The couple watched in horror as the figure approached the side of the car opposite the steering wheel and reached for the door handle.

The driver turned the ignition with shaking fingers and stepped on the gas, sending dirt and stones flying into the branches behind the car. When he glanced in the mirror, he could no longer see the white lady.

The "Lady of the Lake" wanders about frequently in the area of White Lake Rock, Texas. Bob Sloan, staff writer for a Dallas newspaper, has collected many reports of the spectral appearances.

Most of the stories of the apparition come from lover's lane couples or late night drivers, who see her appear along the side of the road. She seems to be jealous of lovers and frightens them out of their amorous activities. Drivers who have stopped to investigate, say she vanishes, leaving only a puddle of water where she had stood at the side of the road.
