All Saints Episcopal Church has stood here since 1739, and its cemetery, haunted by a ghost named Alice, dates from 1822. Alice is buried beneath an oak tree under a flat gravestone bearing the name ALICE. Local legend says that those who walk around her grave 13 times backwards and call her name twice will call her floral-perfumed spirit from over the brick wall at the back of the cemetery. Alice’s ghost, so her story goes, searches for her engagement ring that was lost long ago in a creek. Some visiting women have felt tugs on their wedding rings here.
