The Stranger and Veiled Woman of Gadsby's Tavern (Virginia)

In 1816, a mysterious young woman arrived at Alexandria's finest hotel deathly ill, her face hidden behind a black veil. The man claiming to be her husband demanded absolute secrecy from everyone allowed into her room. Weeks later, the twenty-three-year-old woman was dead, buried beneath an enormous marble monument that revealed everything about her grief—and nothing about her identity. Then her husband disappeared, leaving behind $1,500 in counterfeit money and a mystery that has survived for more than two centuries.Today, she's remembered simply as the Female Stranger, and some believe she never really left Room 8. Tonight, we explore the mystery and haunting of Gadsby's Tavern.
