Durand Eastman Park's haunting legend centers on the "White Lady," a spirit said to be a grieving mother searching for her daughter, who disappeared near the lake. She is often seen near the remnants of the Twin Lakes Pavilion, known as "The White Lady's Castle," a romanticized name for the early 20th-century dining hall structure. Her spirit wanders the park's roads and shores, sometimes accompanied by ghostly hounds with glowing red eyes, a figure of mournful folklore in Rochester. The "White Lady": The ghost is believed to be a mother so distraught by her daughter's disappearance that she committed suicide by drowning in Lake Ontario. The legend states the daughter went missing while walking along the lakefront, and the White Lady now relentlessly searches for her, embodying a mother's eternal sorrow and quest. The ruined "castle" is actually the foundation of a former dining hall, the Twin Lakes Pavilion. The structure's gothic, crumbling appearance inspired the local legend and its name. The White Lady is sometimes described as appearing in the night mist, wearing white and accompanied by wolf-like, glowing-eyed dogs.
