DIRECTIONS →OVERVIEW
A Greek Revival mansion completed in 1856, later owned by banker John McGee Parkman, whose bank failed under Reconstruction-era authorities; Parkman was arrested and killed in 1867 during an attempted escape from the county jail in Cahaba.
REPORTED ACTIVITY
The haunting was popularized in Kathryn Tucker Windham's "13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey"; visitors and staff report footsteps pacing the second floor and small objects moved, attributed to Parkman's promise never to leave the house.
VISITING
Open to the public as a house museum with guided tours.
