Walkin' on the Wild Side

The Local Legends of South Carolina - Pt. 3 - The Legend of the Gray Man

Marvin and Gabrielle Bouknight

Hey everyone and welcome back to Walkin' on the Wild Side!  We finish up our three part series on the local legends of South Carolina with one of Gabrielle's favorite legends of the Lowcountry, the Gray Man.  This legend is a prognosticator of hurricanes and landfall, often protecting the person and property he reveals himself to.  The legend started in the 1800's in Pawley's Island, SC and has persisted to this day.  There are different versions, but all have a similar outcome.  A person sees a gray man in an overcoat and hat, he warns them to flee the impending storm, and their homes are spared, even when everything around them is devastated.  Join Gabrielle and I in Pawley's Island, close to where the legend was born, and then join us for dinner as we talk to a local young man, Chandler, who happened to be our waiter at the amazing Rustic Table restaurant.  We hope you enjoy this episode and here's a few websites to learn more about this legend of the Lowcountry:
