Jeffrey the Ghost will be spotted across Selma during the month of October.

Main Street Selma is working with local artist Charlie “The Tin Man” Lucas to display a Jeffrey sculpture across town next month.

Main Street President Clay Carmichael said the sculpture is a way to honor Kathryn Tucker Windham while supporting local artists.

Windham was perhaps best known for her series of books on ghost stories across the South, including “13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey.” Jeffrey allegedly haunted Windham’s home in Selma.

The Jeffrey sculpture will be made from an old washing machine donated by Windham’s daughter Dilcy Windham Hillery, according to Lucas.

Lucas said he called Dilcy about what he wanted to do, and she offered to donate the washing machine that her mother had used. Lucas earned his nickname by using tin and other metal in his sculptures.

“So I drove to Birmingham to get this washing machine. Jeffrey is on a journey right now,” Lucas said.

Starting Sept. 30, the sculpture will make its way to different members of Main Street Selma. The first stop will be Queen City Market on the last day of the month.

Other stops include Carter Drug Company, Pringle Petals, ArtsRevive, Charlie’s Place, Pilcher-McBryde Drug Company and more.

Carmichael said clues would be given out at participating Main Street businesses about the sculpture’s journey across town. Anyone who spots Jeffrey is encouraged to post a picture on Facebook and Instagram with the hashtags #jeffreytheghost, #mainstreetselma and #alwayshome.

Everyone who posts a picture will be entered into a grand drawing for a gift basket, which will be awarded during Main Street’s Halloween party in late October.

According to realtor AC Reeves, the idea for a rotating sculpture came from Montgomery’s Nanny the Goat campaign, which was used to promote food and entertainment in the capital city.

Main Street Selma will also soon have a new interim director. Shebra Kidd will retire as the director later this month. Jerria Martin, who operates Circle Of Hope Ministries and teaches at Wallace Community College Selma, has agreed to serve as interim director.

“Her name had been thrown out there a lot. She has experience in a bunch of things we need,” Carmichael said, pointing out Martin’s experience in grant writing and running a nonprofit.

Carmichael said having a full-time director is a requirement of all Main Street Alabama programs. He said a search for Kidd’s permanent replacement would begin soon.
