Jeffrey's Adventure to the Tale Tellin' Festival

Jeffrey went to the Tale Tellin' Festival tonight!  He loved hearing Bobby Norfolk and Donald Davis tell stories and the Dill Pickers play and sing with their comedy routines.  Jeffrey could not stop laughing because the stories were hilarious!  Did you see him rolling on the floor laughing when Donald Davis told the story about when the yellow jacket "stung the Methodist out of him"?  This was such a fun event and Jeffrey is so glad he went this year.  The Alabama Tale Tellin' Festival is an annual event in its 35th year that was started by Selma author Kathryn Tucker Windham.  Sound familiar? Jeffrey lives in her house and Kathryn Tucker Windham wrote stories about him!

It's not to late to go to the Tale Tellin' Festival!  If you missed tonight's event, you can still go tomorrow at 5:30 pm for the Swappin' Ground and 7:00 pm for the main event.

Adventures of Jeffrey the Ghost

Are you familiar with Kathryn Tucker Windham's stories of Jeffrey the Ghost?  If you're not, here is a synopsis... Jeffrey is a ghost that made his presence known in the Windham household in October 1966.  The Windham family would hear him slam doors, rock in a chair, and hear footsteps in rooms that they would discover to be empty.  Jeffrey also allegedly moved heavy pieces of furniture, caused electronics to malfunction, and hid objects in the house.  After an accidental picture of Jeffrey was developed, Kathryn Tucker Windham began writing ghost stories and many of them featured Jeffrey.

Now that you know a little about Jeffrey the Ghost, I can let you in on a secret... Jeffrey will be making 31 appearances this October in Selma, Alabama!  Each day he will travel to a different location to haunt the residents and visitors of Selma as he learns about history and searches for other ghosts.  We are hoping to catch him in a picture each day and post it on our blog, so be on the lookout for his first adventure on October 1!
