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?
