The Church by Alice's Grave

The historic sign

The iron gate to the church and to the grave yard

They offer also healing services ,
and I thought only Benny Hinn is doing that :-)

The pretty little porch in front of the entrance to the small chapel

View trough the window into the chapel,
and a self portrait of the photographer too :-)

A nice decoration on a kid grave stone

And last but not least: where death is, there is also life!
An other photographer was doing in the same time some wedding pictures
in the grave yard, close by Alice's grave.

(About Alice's grave, see my post from yesterday!)

Spooky Friday and the Story of Alice's Ghost

On the same journey we've also visited Pawleys Island and the legendary grave yard



Pawleys Island, SC is located 70 miles north of Charleston and 25 miles south of Myrtle Beach and is known as one of the oldest summer resorts on the East Coast

I love old cemeteries and this one was very special in any kind

Here is also the writer J.Dickey buried who wrote the novel to the movie "Deliverance" filmed in 1972

The legendary grave stone of Alice Flagg who returns every night and people have seen her walking around her grave,

still looking for her lost wedding ring.



Notice please: there is no grass growing anymore around her grave!

Rest in peace Alice!

Welcome to the grave of Alice Flagg. It is said that Alice died of a fever in 1849 at the age of 15. She was the daughter of a wealthy area planter. She was also secretly engaged to a lumberman, a man whom her parents disapproved of. Alice wore the lumberman's ring around her neck on a ribbon until one day it was discovered by her brother. Alice's brother took the ring and threw it out of Alice's bedroom window. The ring disappeared into a salt marsh below.





It is said that Alice has been seen wandering the cemetery looking for her lost ring ever since her death. Local legend also says that if you walk backwards around her grave 13 times, you will feel a tug on your ring or ring finger.
