Lady in Black
Sources attach this name to the 2 places below. The name itself is part of the folklore record.
Park interpretation includes the Lady in Black legend. A historian challenges the alleged execution story attached to her. Old military ground in Boston, Massachusetts carries its dead the way it carries its walls — permanently. 'Georges Island and Fort Warren' carries the account. A named spirit outlasts an anonymous one; the file's name is Lady in Black.
AHS traces a Lady in Black story to an 1883 newspaper account of a governor’s daughter and forced marriage. Baranof Castle State Historic Site's file is thin on proof and long on persistence — the standard profile of American place-lore. The account appears in 'Haunted History'. The name travels further than the proof; the sightings keep renewing the lease.
