It was pretty much the same in the 1940s when neighborhood youngsters and teenagers would gather in the cemetery after hours to see what they could make appear. “We made her up,” said one member of the Triadelphia High School Class of 1957, regarding a group of Pleasant Valley and Oakmont friends.

He said that talking about her and creating stories about her were among their numerous activities, which included hunting and sports. There have been no published, modern sightings of the Pink Lady, and a Greenwood Cemetery official said he has not had any experience with her, and does not put much credence in the tale.īut some have chosen over the years to believe she’s real. Her mention in The Wheeling News-Register on Sunday, May 8, 1966, validates her existence, if not only in the minds of some young people. On that date, the newspaper reported the following: On Friday, May 6, 1966, Wheeling police officers had hidden in the mausoleum there in order to interrupt a ghostly gathering that teenagers had planned. The invitation had gotten out of hand, police heard about it and were concerned that there would be too many people there, up to 400, according to one report. The teens’ plan was “that the mysterious ‘pink lady’ - dressed in a pink nightgown and white hat - was to conduct a musical performance from the mausoleum,” states the article titled “Police Spoil Pink Lady’s Mausoleum Performance.” They chose that theme because, the teens later told police, the Pink Lady “has mysteriously performed on several other occasions … the mystery woman has played her guitar to smaller audiences and on one occasion even asked for a sandwich.

She got it.”īut that night, teens were met with police instead of a party.
