The Grave of the Female Stranger
The Grave of the Female Stranger is a famous historical oddity as well as a local landmark in St. Paul's Cemetery of St Paul's Episcopal Church in Alexandria, Virginia. The grave, with its poetic tombstone, is the resting place of an unnamed individual who died in 1816 and was elevated to national intrigue by the mysterious headstone and romanticized tale. Accounts of the stranger increase in oddity over time and help to incite further speculation as to the identity of the person buried in the grave. The reported location of the woman's death, Room 8 at Gadsby's Tavern, is closed to the public, and supposedly her ghostly visage can be seen standing at the window. The story has sparked conjecture that has continued for more than a century.
