Legend of the Female Stranger

In 1816 a mysterious couple arrived in Alexandria, Virginia and isolated themselves in a room at Gadsby’s Tavern. Unfortunately, the young woman was deathly ill and in spite of receiving assistance from a local doctor, she passed away. After burying his supposed wife, the man then disappeared. Speculation on their identities continues to this day, fueled by the eerie incsription in her tombstone: “To the memory of the Female Stranger…” Guest voiceovers for this episode include: Mary Payne Gilbert, host of Payne in the Pod (be sure to check out her episode with Brandon) … Dwayne Farver, creator of the audio drama Manifestations: An Ostium Network Podcast … Brady Hendricks, voiceover artist on the dystopian audio drama The City Within the Walls Additional Reading and Resources: “Ghosts of Alexandria” by Michael Lee Pope “Haunted Virginia: Ghosts & Strange Phenomena of the Old Dominion” by L.B.
