Hi Jimmy, Welcome to SpiritKeep. I don't know anything about the White Lady but I'd love to hear the story when you find out about it.

Hi Jim! Welcome to SpiritKeep!

Here's what I've found about it from different sites via Google:

Rochester Durand Eastman Park/Beach
"The Lady in White roams searching for her daughter who had supposedly been raped and murdered by unknown assailants. There are many different versions to the story, but this is indeed a documented fact in the Irondequoit libraries, and police department."

The ghostly White Lady haunts the shores of Lake Ontario. Durand Eastman Park is where you'll find the remains of her castle from long ago. Mother and daughter were very close and lived a beautiful life, until her daughters life was taken by her escort. They were out around Zoo Road, when he fatally attacked her. The white lady couldn't get over this and a broken heart took her life. She now roams the dark twisted roads of the shore. Waiting for young lovers to stop. Her goal is to murder the male lovers in the park, but many get away. This lady in her flowing white dress wails in grief to this day.
