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.
