I love ghost stories, especially Southern ghost stories. My elementary school librarian told my mother I used to check out
Thirteen Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey by Kathryn Tucker Windham at least once a month. To this day, when I go to Montgomery, I drive by Huntingdon College and remember the tale of the
Red Lady, and you bet your sweet bippy every time I have court in Pickens County, I swing by the old courthouse to take a peek at the "
face in the courthouse window."
What is your favorite ghost story? Share it with me. One commenter will win a copy of
SUMMER GOTHIC, a collection of summertime ghost stories from Alabama authors (I was fortunate enough to help with the editorial process - it is a great anthology if I say so myself). The book includes stories from Suzanne Johnson, Margaret Fenton and loads of other great Alabama authors. I will announce the winner in the comment section on April 11.
