Episode: The Face in the Window (Pickens County, Alabama)
Description: In Pickens County, Alabama, there’s a courthouse window that refuses to stay clean.No matter how many times it’s replaced…No matter how often it’s scrubbed…A face always comes back.Locals say it belongs to Henry Wells, a man accused of a crime he may not have committed, who shouted a final curse as lightning split the sky—and seared his image into the glass forever.For over a century, people have seen it glare down at them.Some call it justice.Some call it a warning.
