The Old Nazareth Cemetery in Pinopolis, South Carolina, is rumored to be haunted. For our readers, who may not be familiar with this unincorporated community, it is in Berkeley County, in the lower part of the state, approximately 21.5 miles from Summerville.
According to Sherman Carmichael in his Mysterious South Carolina book, the cemetery may be home to a headless woman named Annie, who lost her life at the hands of her drunken husband.
Legend says Annie was the victim of an abusive man, who showed up at the home one night in a state of uncontrolled alcohol-fueled anger. The man reportedly cut her head off after he accused the woman of being unfaithful, and hid her head.
Annie was laid to rest in this cemetery. At night, Headless Annie roams the grounds searching for her missing head.
