Unfinished business and broken promises can only result in one thing—haunted churches, like the one haunted by the lovely Anna Ravenel. She quickly fell ill and died after being torn away from her true love, Edgar A. Perry, who was deemed unfit for her. Now, Anna’s spirit lingers, a restless ghost in the church where their love once flourished. Visitors say they can still feel her presence, mourning the love she was denied.
