Learn more about the Chaffin ghost story
Special to the Enterprise
About 25 people turned out to watch the Travel Channel’s “Mysteries at the Museum” segment on the Chaffin ghost story Friday night at the Tanglewood Pizza Company in Bermuda Run.
Among them were Davie County Public Library Director Jane McAllister, whose interview with the film crew was interspersed throughout the eight-minute segment; several members of her staff; and Davie County Clerk of Court Ellen Drechsler, who recruited her friend, Alice Hanes, to help her search for James L. Chaffin’s wills in the courthouse basement one Saturday morning (it took two hours) and later arranged with the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) in Raleigh to take them to the library for filming by the Mysteries at the Museum film crew.
The AOC required the Travel Channel to sign a License Use and Agreement with Drechsler before filming the wills.
Others in attendance at the Tanglewood Pizza Company included members of the newly-formed Renegade Writers Guild, which had just finished its monthly open mic at the nearby Corners Coffee and included two Chaffins, cousins Kathy and Sharon; and others interested in seeing a Davie County ghost story featured on national TV.
