Generations have told and retold the story of the Lady of the Lake, the beautiful young woman who, grief-stricken after being jilted by her lover, drowned herself at White Rock. Dressed in a tattered white gown (probably from Neiman-Marcus), the gorgeous apparition would wander the lake at night, sometimes on shore, sometimes walking on water. Hailing a passing motorist (people stopped for hitchhikers in those days), she’d ask to be taken to a certain house on Gaston Avenue. Then she would vanish, leaving only a damp spot on the back seat. For decades the tale has sent shivers down the spines of teen-age smoochers parking on the shores of the lake.
5. A woman claiming to be the “real” Lady of the Lake surfaced briefly in a late ‘70s Dallas Morning News column by John Anders. She wrote in to describe how, back in the ‘30s, she and a beau were parked by the lake to watch a full moon. While they watched, the man’s car somehow rolled into the lake. Dripping wet, she hitched a ride to her parents’ house on Gaston. The legend started soon after that

The lady of the lake comes from the legend of King Arthur where his dead Queen, Guenevere guards his sword, Excalibur.
