Most haunting legends and the tales that surround them as they’re passed down through the ages have questionable origins. (Think Lizardman… ) But the truth behind the legendary figure in this lone grave is without a doubt, very real – and heartbreaking. If you’ve heard and are fascinated by the story behind the haunted gravestone of Alice Flagg, then just wait ’til you hear about Agnes of Glasgow.

Agnes of Glasgow came here during the American Revolution in search of her lover, a British soldier. In her search for him, she got as far as Camden before falling ill and dying.
