🚨 FILE NO. 2: THE HAUNTED LAKE WITH THAT LIVED MANY LIVES 👻

Dallas built White Rock Lake because the city was running out of water. Then it became a park. Then it housed about 300 German POWs. Then it got a ghost in a wet white dress who disappears from the back seat. 💧

Honestly, this lake has had more career changes than most of us.
Welcome back to The Park Files, 150 years of Dallas parks, one investigation at a time. 🕵️
