Jeffrey's Adventure to Old Cahawba

Jeffrey visited Old Cahawba tonight for the Cahawba Spirits Investigation - night one of the Haunted History Tours!  Before the tour started, Jeffrey made a friend that was going on the same tour and they were inseparable for the rest of the night.  They enjoyed listening to the ghost stories in the graveyard and conducting the spirits investigation with the Central Alabama Paranormal Investigators inside the old slave quarters.  Jeffrey was sad for the tour to end, but very thankful for a second night of Haunted History on Selma's Ghost Tour.  He can't wait to meet other people and learn about more ghosts in Selma.  Be sure to visit the blog tomorrow night to hear about Jeffrey's visit to Old Live Oak Cemetery!
