Jeffrey's Adventure to the Trotter House

Jeffrey visited the Trotter House today and got to hear Mr. Trotter tell about the paranormal happenings in his home!  He learned that there was a young man living in this home who got into a car accident and later died... 50 years to the day that the Trotter's moved in.  Doors open and close without explanation, objects move without anyone touching them, and other spooky phenomena have occurred in this home.  If you want more details from the homeowners themselves, be sure to purchase tickets for the 7th Annual Haunted History Tours this Saturday! The Trotter House is one of the Haunted Historic Homes that will be visited on this ghost tour.  Space is limited, so call the Chamber at 334-875-7241 to get your tickets!

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!
