The Weeping Woman of Roanoke, Virginia's City Cemetery

Roanoke, Virginia’s City Cemetery, off Tazewell Road in the Belmont Neighborhood, was established in 1876. It is a small cemetery, but contains a few notable interments, including Patrick Henry’s granddaughter, Maria Antoinette Hambrick. It is also home to one sorrowful ghost. It’s said on certain nights passersby can see the apparition of a sobbing woman sitting on the low wall surrounding her family plot. She is said to have died in a flu epidemic in the early 1900s and is sad to have left her family at such a young age. #virginia #haunted #paranormal #ghoststories #hauntedplaces #supernatural #spooky #creepy
