Details
The lynching of Peb Falls was a reported lynching of a white American woman in 1897 in Rockingham County, Virginia. According to news reports, the body of Falls was discovered by a group of hunters on September 25, 1897, hanging from a Sycamore tree on Massanutten Mountain. News reports stated that while the perpetrators and their motive had not been proven, Falls had previously been tarred and feathered by a group of white men for associating with Black people. These accounts stated she had an unsavory reputation and was known to keep the company of "low negroes". Many newspaper accounts blamed the lynching of Falls on her Black companions, while some later accounts suggested she was lynched by the white men who had tarred and feathered her. She was one of two possible women lynched in the history of Virginia; the other being Charlotte Harris, a Black woman. While the Governor of Virginia at the time condemned the reported murder, several newspapers later claimed the lynching was a hoax or unconfirmed.
