Love is a
powerful thing. In weddings, the bride and
groom pledge that they will love each other "until death" but can love
continue beyond death? We may never know the answer, but there are
numerous tales and reports of ghost lovers who still haunt our earth,
pining after a love lost. After hearing these stories, ask yourself, "Do
I believe in love after life?"
1.) The original owner of the famous Loews Don CeSar Hotel, Thomas
Rowe, as a young man was studying abroad and fell in love with a girl
named Lucinda. Her parents disapproved of Rowe's courting so he had to
return to America. Many years later he received a letter containing the
words Lucinda wrote on her deathbed, "Time is infinite. I wait for you
by our fountain ... to share our timeless love, our destiny is time.”
Guests of the hotel say they see the lovers holding hands by this
fountain Rowe had built in the hotel, which is said to be a replica of
the one that witnessed their first meeting.
2.) This is the Jeffries-Routt cemetery in Hazel Green Alabama and
it hosts the seven husbands of the late Elizabeth Routt. Mysteriously,
each one died within a year of marrying Elizabeth. The legend goes that
Elizabeth would quickly grow bored of each husband, kill them, bury
them, then hang their hat on a nail on the backdoor. Her ghost is known
more commonly as "the black widow" and there have numerous accounts of
seeing her form, including one 17 year old boy who claims to have seen
her green eyes in the surrounding forest of the graveyard.
3.) Students at Henderson State University in Arkansas may be
aware of the "black lady" who every year at homecoming haunts the halls
looking for her love. The story goes that a boy going to Henderson,
which was under Methodist control at the time, fell in love with a girl
at a nearby baptist school and asked her to homecoming. His friends, for
religious reasons, disapproved of his choice and set him up with a
Methodist girl instead. The baptist girl was heartbroken and committed
suicide in his dorm. There, they say, she remains to this day.
4.) From "the black lady" to "the lady in white". This legend
began to surround Chatham Manor in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The lady's
father was an English noble who took her to Chatham to remove her from
the arms of her peasant lover. The boy somehow followed her to America
and when her father found out he was arrested and died in jail. The
young women died a few years later and was first seen along the
Rappahannock River near Chatham on the day of her death. She returns
every seven years to complete her vow to find the boy she loved.
5.) The Casablanca Inn in St. Augustine, Florida has been around
for almost 96 years. One of its original innkeepers, a widow, fell in
love with a rum-smuggler during prohibition. They concocted a scheme
that involves her lighting a lamp while on the porch of the sea to
signal when it was safe from officers to come to port. One day, her
lover's ship was abducted by the feds and ever since then, the widow has
been known to stand on the porch and wave her lantern back in forth,
signaling a lover who may will never see it.
6.) When a sailor left the 17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant in
Savannah, Georgia, he left a girl named Anna, whom he told he had loved.
During his departure down the Savannah River, she killed her self by
jumping into a brick courtyard. The place is famous for sightings of
Anna, in mirrors or in rocking chairs. Rumor has it, she is threatened
by female guests.
