About this episode
Before Sloss Furnace or Dead Children’s Playground… Alabama had Jeffrey . Not a tragic spirit. Not a vengeful phantom. Just a mischievous ghost who moved furniture, stomped through hallways, and launched one of the most famous folklore books in the South. In this episode, we explore how journalist and storyteller Kathryn Tucker Windham turned a strange presence in her Selma home into a cultural icon—one that generations of kids grew up reading about, fearing, and secretly loving. We’ll look at: The first chilling encounters inside the Windham house The mysterious photograph that changed everything How Jeffrey became the face of Alabama ghost stories And why his legend still refuses to fade Was he a ghost? A muse? Or something even stranger?
