19. The Woman In White At White Rock Lake

The ghost of White Rock Lake is said to take on many forms ranging from the merely unnerving to the outright terrifying.

This episode was written by Matthew Armstrong with music by Matthew Armstrong and production assistance from Kaylia Metcalfe. The graphic for this post was an original photo from dmagazine.com that was manipulated by the magic of Canva.
