Jacksonville's Old City Cemtery & The Lady in White

On this episode of Southern Ghost Stories we venture into the heart of Jacksonville, Florida, to explore the Old City Cemetery, a mid-nineteenth-century resting place where history and local folklore bleed together. From the mass graves of the catastrophic 1888 yellow fever epidemic to the resting place of Pee-wee’s Big Adventure star Alice Nunn, this cemetery holds generations of the city's collective grief and memory. But its most enduring legend surrounds Marie Louise Gato, a 19-year-old high-society Cuban woman shot down in 1897. Though she named her wealthy, volatile partner as her killer from her deathbed, a captivated public and a controversial acquittal left her family without justice—and sparked a century of ghost stories about a woman in white still wandering beneath the moss-covered oaks.
