At a remote cove on Lake Berryessa on 27 September 1969 the Zodiac, wearing a hooded costume, stabbed Bryan Hartnell (survived) and Cecelia Shepard (died 29 September) (official/police record). The lake is an active public recreation area. No haunting tradition or verified paranormal evidence is associated with the site.

The Lake Berryessa shore where the hooded attacker struck in 1969 is treated in regional unsolved-mystery and 'most haunting murder mystery' writing as one of the case's most chilling and atmospheric sites, owing to the costumed assailant and the open, isolated setting. Coverage such as Relak LA's piece frames the location's eerie reputation as part of the Zodiac's enduring 'haunting' legend rather than reporting specific apparition sightings.
