This post is my entry to the A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words Contest!


The small town of Willow Creek was famous for its tranquil lake, surrounded by lush green forests. The lake was a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from all over the world for its serene beauty and the legends associated with it.

One summer evening, a group of local teenagers decided to explore the lake and its surrounding areas. As they approached the lake, they noticed something strange floating in the water. It was the body of a woman, her long hair spread out in the water like a halo. The woman was wearing a beautiful white dress, and it was clear that she had been dead for some time.

The police were called to the scene, and they immediately launched an investigation concerning the death of the woman. It was determined that she had been murdered, and the case was handed over to the local sheriff. The townspeople were shocked and frightened, as the lake has never been associated with such violence before.

Days went by, and the case remained unsolved. The townspeople whispered rumors of supernatural forces at work, claiming that the woman's spirit was haunting the lake and seeking revenge for her untimely death. The local church, organized a vigil to honor the woman's memory, but strange things continued to happen.

People reported seeing a ghostly figure floating in the water, and others claimed to have heard the sound of the woman's laughter echoing across the lake. The mystery of the drowned lady only deepened, and the town was left to wonder if the woman's spirit would ever find peace.

To this day, the mystery of the drowned lady remains unsolved, and the lake continues to be a source of intrigue and fear for those who dare to venture near its shores. The woman's death
remains a chilling reminder that sometimes, the secrets of the past are best left buried.

Interesting story, a soul in pain wandering around town, it is common that cases like this although fictional happen in small towns, uff yes sometimes it is better not to delve into details but to do justice to a crime is the right thing to do.

You're right, @marito74. Trying to dig deep into these kind of stories can lead too more complications.

Once we believe in ghosts we start hearing and seeing things. I feel for the lady and hope her soul can rest once the people tell her who killed her. That shouldn't remain a mystery.
