The Weeping Woman of Riverview Cemetery

Parkersburg, WV

A melancholy female statue in Riverview Cemetery has collected local legends claiming she weeps, changes position or grants wishes to visitors who approach her correctly. The monument is in an operating cemetery open during daytime hours, so this is a folklore stop that needs respectful cemetery behavior rather than nighttime ghost hunting.
