Response from the community has been largely positive, with commenters posting on John Kucko of News 8's Facebook live video in support of the legend.

"Isn't this the coolest thing?!!" wrote one poster.

"We used to go looking for her when we were teenagers. Glad to see she has been found," wrote another.

Others have even used the event to come forward with their own supernatural experiences at the park.

"Unfortunately I had an uneasy experience there even my phone started acting funny," commented someone who claimed to have had an unusual experience at the park.

It is likely that the 'White Lady' in this tree is simply a naturally occurring simulacrum--an image or representation of something that can occur in nature--but there is no denying that her appearance has breathed new life into an old legend.
