Description
In this episode of Unexplained America, your host Lisa brings another spooky episode to you for the spooky episodes October.
On Historic Main Street in St. Charles, Missouri; there are whispers of many ghosts. One in particular is very chilling--it is the story of the Lady in White. Now this Lady in White is said to be a spirit that appears around sunset. You will see her wearing a white flowing dress that appears to be a wedding gown. She also appears to many to be smiling but with a very sad look in her eyes as she looks up Main Street. Some say she is praying while others say she appears to be drinking a glass of wine.
Now according to local research of a Michael Henry (book info below); there is a man living in St. Charles in 1822 named Hiram Berry. He writes a letter home to his family describing a woman aged 23 that dies after giving birth to a beautiful baby boy. She catches a fever and believes her new babies love will keep her but she turns delirious, calls a priest, and dies the next day. She is very poor and her only nice dress is her wedding gown which she is buried in--she is also buried in a Potter's field grave--so unmarked...no name is given to this lady or the beautiful baby.
What I will be discussing is the history of the Historic St. Charles--the fact that the first cemetery where this lady was buried was moved --twice! I will discuss bodies found, graves not moved and more.
Listen to the entire episode and share your thoughts.
