Sugar Hill Historic Cemetery
Established in 1886, Sugar Hill Historic Cemetery anchors the city's downtown with more than 1,500 marked burials, though ground-penetrating radar recently revealed 130 unmarked graves among them. Buried here is Alice Wood Roach, the only "Alice" in the cemetery, whose name has become entwined with the ghost said to wander the old distillery building next door, where city staff, contractors, and visiting ghost hunters report a girl named Alice who carries on conversations, slams doors, switches lights, and rearranges objects through the night.
Whether she is Alice Wood Roach, her teenage daughter who died young in 1920, or someone else, no one can say, but locals like to imagine the younger Alice drifting back to visit the elder. The headstones keep their silence; the legend keeps its mystery.
