Urban Legends - The White Lady

Visualized in Ai by me:

 

The legend of Lammendam is a haunting tale rooted in Dutch folklore. It revolves around a ghostly figure known as "La Dame Blanche" or "The White Lady," who is said to haunt the remains of a castle in the Schinveldse Bossen, a forest in the Netherlands near the German border.

The story begins in the 17th century with a young woman who lived in the castle. She became entangled in a tragic love triangle involving two men. When the men discovered each other's existence, violent confrontations ensued. One fateful night, under mysterious circumstances, the castle burned down, leading to the woman's untimely death. Shortly after, her two lovers also met their demise.

According to the legend, her ghost appears in the forest on nights of the full moon, dressed in a long white gown. The name "Lammendam" is derived from the French term "La Dame Blanche," which translates to "The White Lady." This name was given to the ghost by French farmers who had fled to the Netherlands during the French Revolution.
