Kathryn Tucker Windham grew up in Thomasville, Alabama, the youngest child in a large family of storytellers. For many years a Selma resident, Windham was a freelance writer, collected folklore, and photographed the changing scenes of her native South. A nationally recognized storyteller and a regular fixture on Alabama Public Radio, her commentaries were also featured on National Public Radio’s All Things Considered. Her other books include Thirteen Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey, Jeffrey Introduces Thirteen More Southern Ghosts, Jeffrey’s Latest Thirteen, Thirteen Mississippi Ghosts and Jeffrey, and Thirteen Tennessee Ghosts and Jeffrey.
“Ghost stories have a very real place in the folklore and the
history of a state or a nation. After all, who should be better
able to tell of happenings long past than the ghosts of those who
had a part in them?"" - Miss Bessie Lewis, author of They Called
Their Town Darien: Being a Short History of Darien and McIntosh
County, Georgia
“Spine-tingling with a twang...” - National Public Radio’s All
Things Considered
“In Windham’s tales... myth and fact intertwine to present a
picture of the South that is as true as any textbook.” - Paris
