All Saints Church Cemetery

A historic Episcopal church and cemetery where Alice Flagg, the legendary ghost of Murrells Inlet, is buried. The church dates to 1767 and contains graves from the area's plantation era.

All Saints Church Cemetery is the final resting place of Alice Flagg, whose tragic love story has made her one of the most famous ghosts in South Carolina. Alice died in 1849 after falling ill, heartbroken over being separated from her lumber merchant fiance whom her wealthy family disapproved of. Before she died, her brother ripped her engagement ring from around her neck, and Alice has been searching for it ever since. Her gravestone, simply marked "Alice," sits in the back corner of the cemetery. Visitors have reported seeing a young woman in a white dress standing near the grave, clutching her chest where the ring once hung. People who walk around her grave a certain number of times claim to feel tugs on their own rings, as if Alice is trying to reclaim what she lost. The cemetery is filled with other spirits from the plantation era, and cold spots, unexplained lights, and shadowy figures are frequently reported. Visitors leave rings and other tokens on Alice's grave as offerings, hoping to bring peace to her restless spirit. Ghost tours frequently visit the cemetery to share Alice's heartbreaking tale.
