THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Stow Lake is famous for the legend of the White Lady, the ghost of a woman said to wander the area searching for her lost child. According to the century-old tale, visitors may encounter her apparition near the lake at night, sometimes asking whether anyone has seen her baby before mysteriously disappearing.
This story has been around for over a century. In Golden Gate park, a lady was walking her baby in a stroller. As she sat on a bench to rest, she didn’t notice that the stroller had rolled into the lake. She asked everyone she saw if they had seen her baby, and finally went to look in the lake and was never seen again. Urban legend has it that at night, a statue in her honor will come to life and ask you if you’ve seen her baby.
