Matilda Sorrel

Sources attach this name to the 1 place below. The name itself is part of the folklore record.

The Matilda/Molly legend describes two suicides—a wife’s leap and an enslaved woman’s hanging—whose spirits remain. The presence goes by Matilda Sorrel. The reports at Sorrel-Weed House are the site's second history — unofficial, unverified, and stubbornly retold. Sources including 'Sorrel-Weed House' keep the claim in circulation. A named spirit outlasts an anonymous one; the file's name is Matilda Sorrel.
