The St. Simons Lighthouse is considered haunted, most notably by a former keeper named Frederick, who is said to still be at the site. While the lighthouse itself isn't the primary location for hauntings, the nearby Christ Church Cemetery is rumored to be home to a woman who was terrified of the dark and is now forever bound to her grave with a lit candle from her grieving husband. One of the most commonly cited ghosts is Frederick, a former lighthouse keeper. While the specific story of his haunting is not widely detailed, he is a known spectral resident of the area. At the nearby Christ Church Cemetery, a legend tells of a young woman with a deep fear of the dark. After she was buried, her husband would visit her grave each night with a lit candle. It's said her spirit now resides in the cemetery, forever holding her own lantern, possibly in search of her lost love. Another tale from Golden Isles speaks of a woman named Mary whose husband drowned in a storm. She took her own life, and her spirit is said to wander the beaches and forests of St. Simons Island, carrying a lantern in search of him. Her flickering light is sometimes seen long after her husband's death.
