Most Haunted Places In St. Simon's Island, Georgia To Visit
Following are the most haunted places in St. Simon's Island, Georgia, where the echoes of tragic deaths and forgotten souls linger in the darkness. These haunted spots have witnessed centuries of sorrow, and some say the spirits of the departed are not yet ready to rest.
Christ Church
: "before it was enclosed by a wall visitors would make midnight trips to see the flickering light of a candle above one of the tombstones, the car had to be driven slowly on the left side of the road with the lights dimmed, the story is that a woman who lived on the island was so afraid of the dark that she always slept with a lit candle by her bed, when she died her husband was distressed at the thought of his wife in the dark, so every night of his life he put a candle on the top of her tombstone."
Ebo landing
: "Supposedly a group of chained slaves were being held on the beach (having just arrived on the slave smuggling ship the Wanderer), the slaves made a suicide pack. Rather than live their lives in irons they ran, chained side by side to one another, into the water and drowned. It is said the sight is haunted by their spirits, you can hear the heavy irons clatter as they sprint from the beach for the water."
Jekyll Islands
: "Beachview Drive - Mary the Wanderer is a ghost that haunts Jekyll Island''s main beachfront area * Not St Simons Island.* The Wanderer hotel operated for many years on Jekyll''s Beachview Drive- the island''s main drive- where she is seen wandering the coast waiting for her lost love who never returned from the sea."
St. Simon's Island Lighthouse
: "is haunted by a former light keeper. His steps can be heard climbing to the top of the light."
