What did you think of todays' episode?

Another day, another spooky Texas legend explored with Courtney and Erika!

But have you heard about the Goatman's Bridge? Its out in Argyle, Texas, near Denton, and is also called the Old Alton Bridge. Supposedly, the bridge is haunted by a demonic spirit called the Goatman. On this episode, Erika and I talk about the multiple origin stories, especially how you are more likely to be impacted by the demon if you are related to slave holders, or members of the KKK. Maybe find out your ancestry before you go testing the Goatman?

Was the Neiman Marcus story about the Lady in White a marketing ploy, or was it real? There are many variations of the Lady in White/Lady of the Lake--a woman drenched appears by a lake and asks for a ride home with a couple. Once the couple starts to drive they notice she's gone and all that is left is a puddle in the backseat.  In 1953 a  detailed account of the Lady of the Lake legend was included in Dallas author Frank X. Tolbert’s book, Neiman-Marcus, Texas: The Story of the Proud Dallas Store. In this account, a beautiful blonde girl appears on the road near White Rock Lake.  Mr. and Mrs. Guy Malloy, directors of display for Neiman-Marcus, spot her standing as if she had just walked up from the beach. Upon seeing the girl standing in the beams of their headlights Mrs. Malloy said:
“Stop, Guy. That girl seems in trouble. She must have fallen in the lake. Her dress is wet. Yet you can tell that it is a very fine dress. She certainly got it at the Store.”
