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.
