Ghosts of the Morris Island Lighthouse

People over the years have also called the police on Folly Beach and the Coast Guard often because they see a woman looking out the door of the lighthouse. She is dressed in a white dress and white apron. Some people claim she is the ghost of a lighthouse keeper,s wife. Who really knows but she has been reported for over 100 years.


The ghosts of many Civil War soldiers are reported often on Folly Island. It was on Morris Island where Fort Wagner once stood and where the entire 54th Massachusetts were killed. Fort Wagner is now gone as is Morris Island except at low tide. The only thing seen of Morris Island at high tide is the Morris Island Lighthouse. Over the years people have seen a confederate officer at or near the lighthouse. He is also seen on the end of Folly Island on the beach walking looking out towards the lighthouse.

Ghost Stories of South Carolina- Grey Man on the Beach

Grey Man on the Beach comes out when a hurricane is approaching. The story says that the families of two young lovers decided to break off their relationship by sending the young man to France to study. On the trip to Europe his boat sank due to a hurricane, and all passengers were thought to be dead. Then one day, while the young lady was grieving for her lost love, a young man washed up on the shores of Pawley’s Island. The woman quickly came to his rescue quickly realizing that it was her lost love. The reunion was short lived however, because the man died a few days later of a fever contracted in the terrible storm. Since then he is said to roam the island appearing just before hurricanes to warn people of the coming danger. He has been seen many times over the years. He was last seen by many people before Hurricane Hugo almost destroyed the island in 1989.
