Agnes of Glasgow (1760–1780) was a Scottish woman who became a figure of American folklore. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Agnes followed her lover, Lt. Angus McPherson, who was a British Army officer, to America during the American Revolution. She stowed away on a ship bound from England to America, arriving in Charleston, South Carolina. Believing his unit was assigned near Camden, in Kershaw County, South Carolina, and having heard that he may have been wounded, she wandered through towns and the wilderness hoping to make contact with him or someone who knew him. However, she became ill and died before she could find him. She was buried under cover of darkness by Wateree American Indian King Hagler, who had befriended her.

| - Agnes of Glasgow (1760–1780) was a Scottish woman who became a figure of American folklore. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Agnes followed her lover, Lt. Angus McPherson, who was a British Army officer, to America during the American Revolution. She stowed away on a ship bound from England to America, arriving in Charleston, South Carolina. Believing his unit was assigned near Camden, in Kershaw County, South Carolina, and having heard that he may have been wounded, she wandered through towns and the wilderness hoping to make contact with him or someone who knew him. However, she became ill and died before she could find him. She was buried under cover of darkness by Wateree American Indian King Hagler, who had befriended her. Local legend maintains that she searches for her lover still, and that her ghost haunts the Bethesda Presbyterian Church where she was buried, and the surrounding wooded area to present day. The legend is such that it has received media attention in South Carolina, as well as ghost hunters from around the country. Local historians confirm that the British Army did arrive in Camden during that year, but since her tombstone reads she died on 12 February, they would not have been in Camden at the time of her death. Also, Hagler died in 1763, at which time Agnes was still a child in Scotland. (en)
- Agnes de Glasgow (1760–1780) es una mujer ficticia del folclore estadounidense, protagonista de su propia leyenda. Nacida en Glasgow, Escocia, Agnes siguió a su amante, Angus McPherson, oficial de la Armada británica, a Norteamérica durante la Revolución americana, para ello, viajó como polizón en un barco desde Inglaterra a Charleston, en Carolina del Sur. Creyendo que la unidad del ejército y por tanto su amante se encontraría cerca de Camden y habiendo oído que podría estar herido, fue recorriendo localidades y campo a través, preguntando hasta morir antes de dar con él. Fue enterrada una noche por Wateree, un rey indígena que había trabajo amistad con ella. La leyenda cuenta que Agnes aún sigue la búsqueda de su amante y su fantasma vaga por los bosques cerca del viejo cementerio cuáquero, donde fue enterrada. La historia cobró tal importancia que ha recibido atención por parte de los medios de comunicación de Carolina del Sur, así como entre los buscadores de fantasmas de todo Estados Unidos. Los historiadores confirman que la Armada británica llegó a Camden aquel año, pero, al no saber en que mes llegó Agnes a América, no es posible saber si se encontraba en Camden en el momento de su muerte.
