- The '''Lady In White''' is one of Rochester's most famous hauntings. There are many variations of the story, but the ghost herself seems to have a consistent personality. She is known to be an angry ghost, haunting the ["Durand-Eastman Park"] beach and park areas. Most believe she is searching for her lost daughter, who in some stories is kidnapped and killed and in other variations she runs off with a young lover to escape her overbearing mother. Some variations of the story state that she has two spectral hounds, either German Shepherds or Dobermans, who accompany her. The Lady in White has been seen outside of the park and beach areas, including on the local golf course, in the Irondequoit Cemetery, and as far as Ridge Road. - - Contrary to many stories that have been circulating, the "White Lady's Castle" is nothing more than the last remnant of the old Refractory - a place that served food before the Great Depression. It was built in an old Spanish fort style, popular at the time. The wood structure that sat atop the stone wall became dilapidated after the Great Depression forced The Refractory to close. The structure was partially burned down by vandals, and any remainder was taken down by the city. - - Despite coming through area records, the local Irondequoit historian has been unable to verify this story. This is not to say the legend is completely false, as record keeping in the area in the 19th century wasn't perfect. - - In 2008, the story was voted "Best Local Urban Legend" in ["City Newspaper"]'s 'Best Of' Awards.[[Footnote(http://www.rochestercitynewspaper.com/entertainment/guides/2008/11/BEST-OF-ROCHESTER-2008-Readers-choice/)]] - - The Lady in White has been the subject of numerous books, a movie, and a local ["Lady in White Ghost Walk"].	+ #redirect Lady in White
