Urban Legends

Once there was a teenage girl whose parents were going out for the evening. Concerned, they asked her is she would be okay to which she replied that she would be fine. She planned on letting her dog inside early for company (and protection!) and as she was tired, would just be going to bed early. Her parents left shortly after and she was all alone in the big house with her pet dog. She got ready to go to bed a while later and settled into bed and turned out the light with her dog laying next to her bed on the floor. She gave him a goodnight pat and he licked her hand, the way he always did. She then heard a strange noise in the house. Getting a little scared, she put her hand out to her dog to reassure herself. Lick, lick. It's okay he's still here, she told herself. If there was anything to worry about, he would have started barking straight away. After a couple more noises and more reassuring licks, she decided she was crazy, but boy did she need to go to the toilet! She got up and went to the toilet in the dark as she always did. She went to the bathroom to wash her hands but her fear from before overwhelmed her and she turned the bathroom light on. She screamed the most horrible blood curling scream. Hanging from the shower curtain rod was her beloved dog, his necked slashed and blood everywhere. As she turned to run out of there, she caught sight of the mirror. It had writing on it, in blood and it said "Lick, Lick"

Theres a well known urban legand in this college town.
There were two college girls that shared an apartment. One of the girls came home late and didn't want to wake the other girl. She quietly changed her clothes and went to bed without turning the lights on. The next morning when the girl woke she found her friend dead on her bed and writen on the wall with her blood was " arn't you glad you didn't turn on the light".

There's a ghost story from near the old nieghborhood where I grew up in Dallas, Texas. Dozens of people have reported picking up a wet young lady in a white dress on White Rock Lake Drive. All have given similar reports.

The first known report of what's now refered to as the "lady of the lake" was made in the early 60's. A young couple taking a moonlight around the lake from Garland road back toward the old boathouse. They reported seeing a young white girl in a white dress alone, in the dark, walking beside the road. She was dripping wet although it was not raining out that night.

The young couple stopped to see if she needed help. She asked if they would give her a ride home. She said she lived in the big white house by the boathouses and kids offered to take her home. The young lady chatted with the wet passenger in the back seat as they road along White Rock Lake Drive. The young man glanced back in the rear view mirror at the beautiful, wet, young lady in the back seat several times as they drove along.

The couple pulled up the drive way of the that big old stucco house on the the hill behind the old boat houses. They stopped at the front step turned to say goodbye and the girl was gone. All they saw was a puddle of water on the back seat. The young girl was gone! They walked up to the house and rang concerned about the girl.

The servant that answered told the young couple that there were no young girls that lived in the house. But the couple were insistent. They described the wet young lady whom they had given a ride to. The astounded servant was visibly distraught. He admonishing the kids for playing such a cruel prank. There had been a young woman who lived there but she drowned in a boating accident on the lake several years earlier, and her family had never gotten over the loss.

There have been similar reports from cab drivers, cops, even a minister in one of the highland park churches. The story has been written up in the Dallas Morning News several times, usually around halloween. If you search back issues you can check it out.
