True Story Of Alice Flagg: The Ghost Of Murrells Inlet — South Carolina Alice Flagg was a real woman who died of an illness in 1849 in South Carolina, and her legend has been passed down for decades.
According to Haunted Places , Alice died brokenhearted after she couldn’t be with the man she loved, a man who was deemed unacceptable because of his job and his class in life.
Legend states that Alice Flagg arrived at the Hermitage estate in South Carolina to live with her older brother, Dr. Flagg, a prominent man in the city who was one of the area’s wealthiest residents.

Alice Flagg was a gorgeous dark-haired beauty who attracted the attention of many men in the town. But only one man had her heart. He is identified as a turpentine salesman or a lumberman, but whatever his occupation, it wasn’t acceptable to Dr. Flagg. When he tried to see Alice at the Hermitage home, he was kicked off the property, and Alice was forbidden to see him.
The last thing the lumberman gave Alice was an engagement ring after he asked for her hand in marriage. She accepted the ring but hid it on a ribbon under her shirt. To Alice, her lover’s place in society didn’t matter. She just wanted to be with her one and only true love. Dr. Flagg eventually sent Alice away to a boarding school in Charleston, where she continued her relationship with the lumberman.
When Dr. Flagg discovered that Alice was still seeing the man against his wishes – after finding the ring once she had returned home due to sickness – he snatched the ring off of her and tossed it into a nearby creek. While bedridden, she begged everyone to help her find her ring. She even looked for the ring herself after she regained her strength.
Alice ultimately died and was buried near Pawleys Island at the All Saints Episcopal Church Cemetery, according to Find A Grave . Since her death, the legend of Alice Flagg is one of the most popular ghost stories around South Carolina. There have been many ghost sightings inside the Heritage home and on the property’s grounds.
