13 Alabama Ghosts and JeffreyOct 20, 2005
As a child in Alabama I read all of Kathryn Windham's books. Thirteen Alabama Ghosts is a wonderful book told by a great storyteller and historian. The locations of the stories in the books are easy to find and may be visited by anyone wishing to visit. Kathryn Windham came to the college I attended in 1984 and spoke to each individual English Literature classes. She told her stories with such insight. Even though most of us already knew them, we were spellbound by her delivery. She is truly a master in the art of literature. She is a bit eccentric but very approachable, friendly, appreciative and outgoing. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.

Kudos to Kathryn Tucker WyndhamJul 04, 2002
These books were a delightful part of my childhood, I grew up in southeast Alabama and visited many of the haunted sights (the hole that wouldn't stay filled, the grave of the dancing ghost, Huntington College, et al). I recall attending a "storytelling" by Mrs. Wyndham in the 1970's, never was it more fun to be so scared!!!

Long Lasting ImpressionSep 15, 2000
I first read 13 Alabama Ghosts as a elementary school student in Alabama. In the twenty years since then, I have re-read it numerous times. The stories stay with you and provide an interesting and alternative look at Alabama's history. Since the stories involve local ghosts or haunted places, it is possible to visit these locations yourself, which makes the book all the more interesting. I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in ghosts and Alabama history.
