Pickens County Courthouse
Pickens County Courthouse is famously known for its ghost story, 'The Face in the Courthouse Window.' Henry Wells was standing at the garret window when a storm approached. Lightning struck the courthouse, permanently etching Henry’s ghostly image into the glass. Over the years, attempts to clean the glass with soap and even gasoline have failed, as the image of his face always returns. In 1929, a hailstorm broke all the windows on the north and west sides of the building—except for the pane containing Henry’s face.
In addition to the haunting of Henry Wells, it's believed that the spirit of a woman also haunts the courthouse. While her identity remains unknown, there have been multiple accounts of a female presence making herself known.

The Drish House
The Drish House in Tuscaloosa, AL. March 9th, 2024.
Built in 1837 by Dr. John Drish and his wife, Sarah, the Drish House holds a famous ghost story in the South. During the 1900s, the house served as the Jemison School, later transitioning to the Tuscaloosa Wrecking Company and also hosting a church. In 2015, the property was privately purchased, renovated, and transformed into an event venue. The Drish House is a personal favorite of our team due to its reputation for housing active spirits and being a paranormal hotspot.

Old State Bank
The Old State Bank in Decatur, AL. March 2nd, 2024.
Built in 1833, this building was originally constructed as a bank but closed in 1842. It was subsequently occupied by Union soldiers during the Civil War and served as both a hospital and prison for Confederate soldiers. Later, it became a saloon, operating both legally and illegally, before being purchased by a doctor who resided there and conducted medical practices. Now serving as a museum, the Old State Bank preserves a colorful history and is said to be home to numerous restless spirits.
