Yet among generations of fishermen and mariners, the lighthouse has long been known for something far stranger than its beacon. According to local legend, the apparition of a young girl named Annie still appears on the water before deadly storms, offering one final warning to anyone fortunate enough to see her. For generations, the legend of Annie has been whispered along South Carolina's coast, blurring the line between maritime history and ghost story. Join Southern Gothic as we trace the origins of one of the Lowcountry's most enduring legends and uncover the tragedy said to have transformed an isolated lighthouse into one of the region's most haunted landmarks.
