Folklore has been around longer than the discovery of America. Folklore consist of a tale told by word of mouth rather than in writing and has been passed down from generation to generation. Just like the tale from Dallas Texas, the lady who has been haunting White Rock Lake since the early 1900’s.

the book Idylls of the King, specifically, "The Passing of Arthur," we discover that there is a surprising amount of Trinitarian symbolism found in Tennyson's works. Three times Arthur has to ask Sir Bedivere to throw the sword Excalibur into the lake. This is in fact a testing of faith, one that encompasses body, mind and spirit, meaning he is tested physically, mentally and then spiritually.

People go through this all the time and this is part of growing up. In "Greasy Lake:" by T.C.
