Some Legends are enduring. The ghostly "Lady" of White Rock Lake is one of |

A 60 year old woman named Mrs. Willie L. Wood, of Elsworth Street, was
murdered in the lake in 1953 by someone tying a 10-pound rock around her
neck.
"The first night in our new house the door bell rang. I went to the door.
There was no one there. I was very tired and closed the door. The door
bell rang again. 'bing-bong'. I quickly opened the door and again there
was no one there. I waited near the door for a few minutes and nothing
happened. I went back to my moving-in chores, and again the bell rang.
This time my daughter went to the door and stepped out onto the porch."
In another of Mr. Tolbert's columns, dated April 4, 1964, he recounts that
Mrs. Lily V. Leonard of 8903 Groveland, Dallas, wrote in to say that her
son and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Leonard picked the ghost up also. She
said, "They'll swear on a stack of Bibles that this happened."
There was also an old building down close to the water. There was a lot
of graffiti on the building and the bridge. As my father was turning
around I glanced toward the water and I saw a woman apparently standing
atop the water with outstretched arms. She appeared to be in a
beautiful long gown, almost wedding like. I told my parents, 'Look, look,
there is a woman standing in the water, she needs help!' but they
apparently did not see what I saw. They looked but could not see her. . .
