Summary

On this episode of Southern Gothic we will take you on a journey to the Pickens County Courthouse in Carrollton, Alabama, where history and the supernatural collide. Built in 1877, this courthouse has seen its fair share of tumultuous times during the Civil War and Reconstruction era. Today, visitors to the courthouse can still witness a chilling reminder of these troubled times - the ghostly image of a terrified man etched into a window by an unknown force - a man named Henry Wells. Join us as we explore the dark history of this courthouse and the story behind this ghostly apparition.
