Mobile’s 1833 house museum—and the city’s most-toured ghost.

Oakleigh is a mansion in Mobile, Alabama. Mobile’s 1833 house museum—and the city’s most-toured ghost. The archive files it under local folklore and haunted places. The dossier holds 1 reported claim, 1 legend and 1 documented fact — documented record and retelling kept side by side. The site is open to visitors. The dossier keeps the place and the story in the same record — which is what the archive is for.

Oakleigh is the raised — the 'T-plan' that's the shape's name, the 'air under' that's the cooling's way. The 'wife died' is the built — the 'during construction' that's the loss's time, the 'child too' that's the double's weight. The 'bricks dug' is the made — the 'clay pit' that's the material's source, the 'enslaved made' that's the labor's truth.
The 'Panic took' is the lost — the '1837' that's the crash's year, the 'brother-in-law bought' that's the save's form. The 'flag flew' is the dodged — the 'British colors' that's the occupation's shield, the 'officers kept' that's the house's out. Oakleigh is the kept — the 'museum now' that's the use's form, the 'three centuries' that's the story's span.
The file keeps Oakleigh: the raised plan, the died wife, the dug bricks, and the flag's dodge.
Oakleigh is the archive's Alabama file — the house cooled by its own design.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Oakleigh is the archive's Alabama file — the T-shaped house that breathed.
A house keeps its shape — the file's suggestion being that Oakleigh's hold is the raised: the 'air under' that's the cooling's design, the 'enslaved built' that's the labor's truth, and the 'flag flew' that's the war's dodge.

FILED CLAIMS — 1 on record, reported not verified
· [Local folklore] apparition: Reported a woman’s figure and a presence on the stairs. A house with Mobile's history behind it gives the reports a setting that needs no exaggeration. It survives as local folklore, which is to say it survives because people keep telling it. The figure remains the site's most-repeated sighting. The file stays open on it.
