A similar event happened on the night of March 21, 1981, to Arthur Hulbert and his wife Jean. They had been out along the lake walking their dog, Snoopy. They often walked her past the lake. Like Dick, the Hulberts first noticed the sound of running water on an otherwise very cold evening. The sky had been clear and there was no mist over the lake.

Both of them noticed the elderly gentleman on the southern bank of the lake, but had not commented on him. Jean was to recall later that the man had "just seemed to disappear," although they had not watched him vanish.

When they had rounded the lake they both noticed that the man no longer stood on the shore. At that point Art mentioned something about the man who had been there. As they approached the spot where the man had been standing, Snoopy began to tug at her leash and try to pull them away from the area. Snoopy was a well-trained dog who was used to being on a leash.

They pulled at her line and finally Snoopy allowed herself to be moved toward the southern bank; however, as they reached the area where they had seen the man, Snoopy began to run wildly in a tight circle. She barked, snarled and snapped at the air.

This behavior was so unusual for Snoopy that Art and Jean began to discuss it. This led to the subject of the old man who had stood at the spot. Neither of them had seen him move away from the lake, and yet he was nowhere to be found. Art remembers feeling a cold draft of "stale" air pass by them then, although neither one had yet begun to talk of anything like a haunting.

They had to practically drag snoopy away from the lake.

There are many other stories of this quiet and peaceful park in the southwest corner of the city. None of the people who have witnessed even a minor incident at the lake feel that the spirit is a "bad" spirit. In fact, many people claim to obtain a sudden feeling of peacefulness and relaxation when they visit the park. No one, however, walks away from Lake Street Lake without feeling something.

In the last few years several incidents have been reported of a "blue shimmering shape" running along the creek that feeds Lake Street Lake. The most common place this figure has been seen is at the tail end of Irvingdale Park, just off 17th Street and Harrison Avenue. During the summer of 1987, three individual cases were reported of this wispy figure moving along the creek bed during the dark moonless hours past sunset on hot, summery evenings.
