The Grim is stepping through the moss-draped gates of All Saints’ Church Cemetery on Pawleys Island, South Carolina, where history and legend intertwine beneath the Lowcountry oaks. In this episode of The Grim, we explore one of the South’s most hauntingly beautiful graveyards, an acre of romance and ruin where ghost stories refuse to rest.

Beneath weathered stones lie the names of Carolina’s planters, patriots, poets, and governors, their legacies etched in marble and memory. Yet it is the ghosts of Pawleys Island that draw travelers and storytellers alike. From the cloaked figure of the Gray Man, said to appear before hurricanes as both omen and protector, to the tragic tale of Alice Flagg, whose restless spirit still searches for her lost ring, the cemetery’s legends echo through salt air and shadow.

We trace the church’s origins from the 18th century to its fiery rebirth in 1917, uncovering stories of Southern history woven with grief, resilience, and Gothic beauty. As autumn deepens and the veil thins, the graveyard becomes more than sacred ground. It is a stage where mourning, faith, and folklore converge.

Whether you come seeking Lowcountry history, haunted cemeteries, or the timeless allure of Southern Gothic ghost stories, All Saints’ Cemetery is a place where the past lingers and the dead are never truly silent.
