THE FORBIDDEN LOVE OF ANNABEL LEE
For decades, visitors to Charleston, SC's Unitarian Church Cemetery have claimed to encounter the ghostly figure of a beautiful woman, who appears to wander the overgrown graveyard in mourning for a lost love. However, local legend weaves a unique narrative: this is not just an ordinary heartbroken soul; she is none other than the infamous Annabelle Lee, the very muse of Edgar Allan Poe's renowned poem, which was published just days after his passing. As the story goes, their fateful encounter took place during a lesser-known and mysterious chapter of the "The Fall of the House of Usher" author’s life, when he was a young man enlisted in the United States Army and stationed at Fort Moultrie, overlooking Charleston Harbor.
Join us on this week’s episode of Southern Gothic as we explore the haunted history behind this unique graveyard and the tragic love story that purportedly inspired one of America’s greatest literary figures.
