The Grey Man of Pawleys Island and the Ghosts of the Flagg Family
This has been a devastating season for hurricanes and destruction. When I think about hurricanes, I think of the grey man who has appeared on Pawleys Island and warned people to get off of the island because a hurricane is approaching. His appearance has been documented many times. His face is obscured by a grey hat. This is one of the first documented cases I read about. When I was in tenth grade, we had to write a story for English Class, so I changed the location to Dewey Beach, near Rehoboth, Delaware where friends of my parents had a cottage. I was shown and told about the “spook” house, a cottage about a block away that had been vacant for years. In those days, there were many vacant houses that people abandoned and were just left as is. The people who owned the house suddenly left it one day and left what was left of dinner on the table and stove. They never returned and it was never known why they left. So, it became the “spook” house while I never heard about any hauntings or apparitions. My teacher wrote a question on my paper. Was this a true story?
