Haunted History Tours

Beware! The "ghosts" of Selma and Cahawba are everywhere, busily readying their haunts for this weekend's Haunted History Tours. On Friday night, the ghost town of Cahawba will host four treks for the very, very brave into its very (un)consciousness, and the Central Alabama Paranormal Investigators will conduct on-site tests. Ghosts from the past will appear at Cahawba on Saturday as well, and Old Live Oak Cemetery comes alive with famous inhabitants on Saturday evening. Then, that night, get ready for a tour of Sturdivant Hall and find out about the spirit that lives within...it's a story fit for a Stephen King novel...a banker, an "evil" regime, a former flooded prison, an escape, a "murder," or so the locals say. It is rumored that John Parkman just might show himself and finally tell his side of the story!

Hi Lynette and Dot.
I understand that The Ghost Lady has a storytelling festival to take part in this weekend, but she did emcee the Tale-Tellin' festival here last weekend. This is the first year for the Haunted History Tours. Seems lots of folks like ghosts this time of year!

That sounds like so much fun! If I lived near Selma I would love to take the Haunted History Tours.
