In \u003ci\u003eThirteen Mississippi Ghosts and Jeffrey\u003c\/i\u003e, best-selling folklorist Kathryn Tucker Windham, along with her trusty spectral companion Jeffrey, introduces thirteen of the state's most famous ghost stories. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Although stories about Mississippi's spirits seemingly outnumber the ghosts themselves, Windham observes that \"Southern ghost tales are disappearing because people no longer sit around on the porch on summer nights and tell stories. The old folks who grew up with these stories are dying now, and the stories are dying with them.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Fortunately for us, Windham was a writer dedicated to preserving these tales in print. The veteran author spent many years tracking down these stories and chronicling the best ones. From the ghost of Mrs. McEwen still wearing her beloved cameo pin and keeping a watchful eye over Featherston Place, her home in Holly Springs, where, she swore, she would stay forever, to the ghostly visage fixed permanently on the bedroom window pane of Catherine McGehee, who searched the horizon ardently for her unrequited love to come to her as promised at Cold Spring Plantation in Pinckneyville, Windham's stories cover the breadth and depth of Mississippi--at times more moonlight than magnolia. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e An enduring classic, this commemorative edition restores \u003ci\u003eThirteen Mississippi Ghosts and Jeffrey\u003c\/i\u003e to the ghastly grandeur of its original 1974 edition.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKathryn Tucker Windham\u003c\/b\u003e grew up in Thomasville, Alabama, the youngest child in a large family of storytellers.
