I had a great time telling stories at the First Annual Senoia Storytelling Festival “Stories Come Alive!” sponsored by Southern Order of Storytellers and Southern Crescent Storytellers. Thanks to Anne Wallace, Neal Peebles and everyone concerned.
I got to present twice. First I told one of my favorite spooky stories that I call “The First Lieutenant’s Jacket” about a strange encounter my great great grandfather Nathan Wood had on the first Halloween after Appomattox. Later I got to tell my version of an Abenaki story I learned from Joe Bruchac called “Turtle on the Warpath”. The first photo below was taken just at the point when Skunk demonstrates his “Mighty Weapon”.
Afterwards Sheila and I walked around Senoia which is perhaps best known as the setting for The Walking Dead.
