Historical oddity in Alexandra, Virginia, US (1793–1816)
The Grave of the Female Stranger
The Grave of the Female Stranger is a famous historical oddity, local landmark and visitor's attraction in St. Paul's Cemetery of St Paul's Episcopal Church in Alexandria, Virginia.
The grave 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 also a tourist destination, and supposedly her ghostly visage can be seen standing at the window.
The story has sparked conjecture that has continued for more than two centuries. In addition to various articles and reports, there have also been novels including Narrative of John Trust (1883) by William Francis Carne, author of George Washington's Boyhood.
