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." This story has been written by Anne Clark who published a book called "The Ghost of White Rock Lake". According to a contemporary Dallas writer, Rose-Mary Rumbley, confirms the story about the ghostly figure that has been seen hitchhiking or walking on water around White Rock Lake.

The famous urban legend in Dallas, Texas is The Lady of White Rock Lake. When I first heard about this story it was aired on channel eight news. In the early 1920's there was a woman that drowned at white rock lake. There has been sightings of the lady in a white wet dress walking down a dark road that has alot of twists and turns putting her thumb out to hitchhike for a ride and screaming for help. There has also been sightings of the lady in white walking across the water. What really happened to the lady in the white dress! The legend states be careful who pick up at White Rock Lake and bring a towel because the lady in white might leave a wet spot in your car.
