The origins of these ghost stories likely come from Jefferson's strong presence in American history. His influence was so great that people can't help but feel his 'presence' even after his death. For example, at Monticello, it was his home for so long and he put so much of himself into it. So when strange things happen there, it's easy to attribute it to his ghost.
