One being the Gray man who is said to walk the island before storms to warn people they need to evacuate the island. In return if you listen to him your house will not be harmed by the storm. The second ghost of Pawleys is Alice Flagg a young girl who had fallen in love with a lumberman and her family did not approve of his social stature. He gave her a gold ring but her family did not want her to wear it so she place it on a ribbon around her neck and tucked it under her dress. When Alice became sick and was transported back to her home town of Murrells Inlet where she died her family found her ring, cut the ribbon and tossed it into the marsh. Alice was buried at All Saints Church in Pawleys Island where she is known to be seen walking around holding her chest looking for her lost ring.
