I wasn’t much of a believer in the paranormal until I saw the Grey Man for myself in Pawley’s Island when I was about 11 or 12. I didn’t know the story beforehand but we were staying at a campground and went to walk on the beach at night. I swear I saw a man in a straw hat waving at me from the edge of the water. I turned to my parents to see if they saw him to, but when I looked back he was gone. There was a bad wind and thunderstorm that night and most of the camp sites had things thrown about and broken, but ours was just fine the next morning and clothes still on the line. When I told my aunt what happened later that year she told me the Story of the grey man. I still get chills thinking about it.

So you were a firm skeptic when you were...9 or 10?

I remember the gray man was very heard of during the 1989 deadly Hurricane Hugo that struck the Carolinas. One particular case was of an elderly couple that were walking on the beach in Pawley’s Island a day before hurricane Hugo in 1989, and they sweared they encountered the gray man during their walk on the beach. When the hurricane passed, their house was mysteriously left intact while all the other surrounding houses were torned and damaged. The elderly couple’s house being saved was attributed to their encounter with the gray man. So if you ever do see the gray man, consider it a blessing and listen to him. If you want to know more about the case, look up the old show of unsolved mysteries of the grayman.

Before KZread and iPads and electricity, we had ghost stories, haunted tales and urban legends to tell each other after sundown. Classic scary stories to tell in the dark vibes. Love it. Cheers.

The steam is a common occurrence in South Carolina. As the ground heats up in the sun, the wet ground forms a mist as the water evaporates. It's particularly noticeable after a summer rain on asphalt, it's almost fog like in density.

Thanks for the great video, very interesting! When you were talking about the Grey Man in front of the Pelican Inn, a guy walks onto the porch behind you it gave me a spook lol

Love the history and the painted rock garden. Thank you for not running around the grave, LOL. I liked the Holy Ghost sign too. No other ghosts for me.

Since that congregation has the new, larger church, it looks like they just either painted over the old sign or if it had been on a piece of something, the sign was removed. I bet if you look at the new church they might have a new sign that says the same thing.

I’ve been to visit “Alice” a couple of times and have toured the Hermitage as well. However Alice Flagg died in 1849 and the Hermitage was still under construction then, so she most likely didn’t die there. There are records of an Alice Flagg dying in Charleston in 1849 with a Dr. Flagg listed as her physician. There were 3 Alice Flaggs, one being a child who died in the Flagg Flood in the 1870s. 😢 It is said that Alice of the ghost story is actually listed in church records as being buried at Belin Memorial Methodist in an unmarked grave. I love the story though and the cemetery and church are gorgeous. The Flaggs of SC are also related to the Vanderbilts. Great video, Mr. Woo!

I believe this is one of my favorite videos you have done Adam. Along with the trip you did with your dad. Such a blessing to see the great relationship you have with your family. Thank you again. From Orange County California

Thanks for sharing your adventures. Looks like a nice place to vacation. Two Thumbz 👍👍

I live in Downtown Wilmington, can attest there are tons of ghost stories. I live next to a haunted cemetery and right across from the Bellamy mansion, which also has some ghostly tales surrounding it. In the downtown area you can throw a rock and hit several supposed haunted spots, and the historic homes, mossy trees, and cobblestone roads just add to the vibe. Couldn't reccomend visiting enough.

I love the Live Oaks here in SC. They are so noble...or dare I say...majestic! Pawley's Island is one of my favorite places to visit here. I am always looking for the Grey Man.

I love live oaks too, especially when they have been shaped by the prevailing wind.

SC is beautiful, this is a cool piece of history

I lived in North Myrtle Beach and moved from the area in 2003. Enjoying your videos of the entire area but not liking how commercialized and crowded it has become but glad to see off season places are still closed. So many changes and not for the good. I loved living there but now in Vero Beach, Florida and more private where I live on the ocean. Pawleys Island is very interesting and used to swim at the south end of the actual island.

Great video!!! Love a combo of history with urban legend. Pawley's Island is a special gem on the SC coast.

Hey Adam! I've been watching your content for many years and I think it's awesome you are in Myrtle Beach and seeing the Amusement Park video made me happy because I live right around the corner. I used to go to the old amusment park with my friends or by myself as a chill spot before it was demolish. Long story short I just think it's cool seeing you in these spots where I've been and could go to right now. Especially since you and one other youtuber are the only two I've consistently watched over the years. Keep up the great content!

Thanks for all of these vids Adam. Just moved to SC in November and watching these gives me and my family so much to look forward to exploring ourselves. Keep them comin' !

We love the new format. It really is a stroke of genius doing what you are doing. Exploring the overlooked and unpromoted as well as just the common every day communities is amazing. NO ONE is doing this and actually no one could even if they tried. No on would have your dry wit and sense of humor as well as your sense of adventure. Keep up the great work! and thank you for doing this the way that only you could do it.

The Haunted Trail dark ride that Adam took us on. Awesome, compleat with ground fog and ghostly rain. Used the fast past. No waiting.

The entire coastal sections of South Carolina and Georgia have all kinds of stories like that of The Gray Man and Alice. It's such a special and different place, that such stories seem as though they could be true. Pawley's Island Hammocks are really great. They are pricey but well worth the money. I actually have several of them. They will last for years if you protect them from continually getting wet. You should not leave them out for overnight very often. They are available online. This is such a beautiful part of the country. That word "Contiguous" basically means a several sections of adjoining, neighboring lands make up one larger section. It's a legal and real estate term.

And "contiguous" is better known, perhaps, as a description of the "lower 48" states, i.e., the contiguous states.

Another great one Adam, thank you sir! Boy did the beach look great! Great tales of history and legend too. And that take a rock/leave a rock thing was so random and cool.

Definitely spooky and the steam coming out of the ground… Say what?? And the trees dripping water like from a faucet as you drove out of that area I was spooked!👀👍🏻

Really love this series...love the back roads of the south. Thanks Adam

Many interesting items in this video! The constant "raining" of melting ice was phenomenal! Remarkable that the large branch fell between "Alice" and her brother. Glad you left the branch. It's a natural statement best left 😉 Really enjoyed this "tour" of Pauley's Island. Super footage & narrative! 👌

Adam, thank you for covering the Pawleys Island hammocks and the legends of the Grey Man and Alice Flagg. I know every city/town has its own ghost stories, but the coastal cities/towns can have creepier stories at times. Love your vlogs.

Good stuff! My parents live in Pawleys Island. My step father takes some pretty epic fowl photos in the marsh.

Adam thank you for representing our state in such a positive manner. We are so proud of our state and there is a lot to see.

Glad it was a nicer weather day for you! As always, love your content!

I absolutely love this Channel ! I enjoy every single episode !

I do most of my night fishing in Pawleys on the bridges and along the canals. There’s definitely an eerie feeling late at night when it’s completely dark and you can’t see anything beyond your battery powered lanterns. Nonetheless I love it, it’s relaxing, the sunrises and sunsets are priceless. My biggest fears are the Noseeuns and tourists speeding by doing 50mph+ in a 25mph.

The rope hammock may have been invented on Pawleys Island in 1938 but the Royal Navy first ordered the use of sling hammocks in 1597. The first recorded use of them by the Royal Navy was in 1590. Great video by the way, with just a hint of spookiness!

Man I love your vids! Every time I watch one I feel like a kid on a field trip😂

I just found your channel since the first of the year.. just have to say how much I've been enjoying them. Keep up the good work out there on them backroads, and stay safe brother!

I forgot about Pawley’s Island. It’s been a while since I heard about that place. It was shown on the original Unsolved Mysteries years ago. I am fascinated by ghost stories and the paranormal.

Thank you for this video Adam! I loved your video visiting Laurie Strodes house, too! Hope your having fun in your adventures and great job from a loyal fan!

Great video, really enjoyed the urban legends content.

That Hammock knowledge is amazing I'm going to use it!! hey fun fact! rope hammocks were invented at Pawleys island!! i love good trivia!! thanks!

Great job once again! Your vlogs always keep me interested until the end. And very informative.

Been there a few times. Very nice area. Great golf!

Wonderfully atmospheric video! Thanks for sharing it with us, Adam.

Enjoyed the video and the stories. I think it was a wise decision to leave the branch alone, why risk having a hurt back on your return trip. Looking forward to seeing more.

Love the Plethora of information on this vlog Adam! Great job..as usual!

I recently wrote and published a short novella about the Gray Man of Pawleys Island called "Gray Man: A Story." I love that legend. :)

Free coffee compliments of the Gray Man. Pawleys island shabby chic. Enjoying your visit to my home state. Many people have mentioned Brookgreen. I'd definitely go if you can or have not.

hello again adam , love urban legends stuff , some are so interesting , the beach looked so nice , alice flaggs story was so sad if its true that is , well done again and thank you adam , 😊

I so love your travel videos, my hubby and I love to do stuff like this when we travel, Love it.

Great vlog as always. Watch every day.

another nice vlog Adam, I have watched your videos off and on for many years, lately I have been adding the Daily Woo to "MY" morning cup of coffee. Pawley's Island is an interesting place, I have not personally been on the island proper but I do have a friend who lives there. In light of the recent cold and snow that we got, your video shows just how quick the weather in SC changes...thus the old saying..."if you do not like the weather we are having just hang around for a few hours" your video with the melting ice falling from the majestic oaks and palmetto trees with the clear blue skies is beautiful ! Thanks. Suggestion: check out McClellanville, it is not to distant and is a quaint and interesting little town.

Hi Adam, I really enjoy your videos so please keep up the good work, all the best from Australia.

There was someone on the porch while you were filming the Pelican Inn. The person duck down while you were filming. Did you notice it when you reviewed the video?

The Grey Man stories have been well documented, in fact there is video proof of him, it’s been shown on paranormal shows. And a couple of people have seen in, the one story was then being at that beach where a couple walked passed him, but thought he was a living person, then a storm did hit hard.

Thanks Adam, really good sights and stories!

What fun!! Love a good ghost story
