In his 2002 book Pioneers in Paradise: Legends and Stories from Bristol Tennessee/Virginia, author V. N. “Bud” Phillips writes that the sound of humming can be heard at the housing complex on Quarry Street in Bristol, Virginia.
Phillips writes that the humming belongs to the spirit of an infamous Bristol madam, Pocahontas Hale, who was once buried at the site. Phillips documents that the complex was built where Flat Hollow Cemetery once was. When the complex was built in the 1940s, the bodies were moved to Citizen’s Cemetery at the end of Piedmont Avenue, but it seems Pocahontas’ spirit has not moved on.
To this day, residents hear her lullaby as her ghost passes through the site where she was once buried.
