Is Jimmie Rodgers Museum haunted?

The record holds 2 claims, 1 legend, 1 named entity — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed documented legend. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.

The record — long form

Jimmie Rodgers is the 'Father' — the country music that's the title, the 'Singing Brakeman' that's the other. The '33 was the death — the '36 hours' that's the after recording, the 'Years Ago' that's the last. The guitar is the relic — the original that's the museum, the railroad that's the context.

The festival is the '53 — the 50,000 that's the attendance, the oldest that's the claim. The TB was the killer — the '33 that's the end, the Meridian that's the home. Jimmie Rodgers is the founder — the yodel that's the trademark, the museum that's the shrine.

The file keeps Jimmie Rodgers: the 'Father of Country Music', the '33 death, the original guitar, and the Meridian museum.

Jimmie Rodgers is the archive's Mississippi file — the singing brakeman.

Why this file matters
