Railroad employees and locals feel this mysterious spirit is that of Railroad Bill who, during his time terrorizing the area, never shied away from letting people think that he had supernatural powers.

Many mysterious qualities were attributed to Bill in life, including were shape shifting and the ability to disappear and make bloodhounds lose their smell. Others said Bill could only be killed with a silver bullet.

Bill eluded them, hijacking a train car in the process. This incident initiated a manhunt after the railroad detectives gathered a posse and began tracking the man they were now calling Railroad Bill. The posse spent several weeks tracking Bill and, following leads, they finally arrived in Bay Minette on April 6, Details on what transpired in the town that day are sketchy, but historians report that the posse of about 20 men confronted the man they thought was Railroad Bill and a gun fight broke out.

When the gunfight ended, Baldwin County Deputy Sheriff James Stewart was dead and Railroad Bill was still on the loose, now wanted for murdering a lawman. As the legend of Railroad Bill grew, robberies of every train and business were attributed to him, although he could not possibly have committed them all. The claims only fueled the myth, putting law enforcement officers, railroad security and multiple private detection agencies on his trail.

It was the middle of the afternoon on a clear day in Atmore when Railroad Bill met his demise: J. Leonard McGowan squeezed the trigger of his rifle, firing the round that mortally wounded Railroad Bill.

Less than one second after the outlaw was struck by McGowan's rifle round, his body was struck a second time by buckshot from a local shopkeeper's shotgun. The rest of the posse, hearing the gunfire, arrived on the scene and also opened fire on the corpse of Railroad Bill. After years of looting, robbing, and murdering along the Alabama-Florida line, the notorious outlaw was dead.

Because the outlaw was so well-known and feared, authorities wanted to prove to residents that Railroad Bill had been killed, so his body was put on public display. The body was first displayed in Brewton, where hundreds of people came to view it.

Curious souvenir hunters even went so far as to pay 50 cents for a photo of McGowan with his rifle standing over Railroad Bill's corpse. The preserved body reportedly remained on display in Brewton for a week before being transported to Montgomery, to be displayed for another week where it attracted thousands of spectators, before then being transported to Pensacola, Fla.

After this stop, Railroad Bill was quietly buried in an unmarked grave outside of the city. Songs and books, and even a play, have been written about Railroad Bill. Mountain Tom Clark. The people of Florence dedicated a memorial plaque to mark the grave, the inscription of which reads:. In , Clark, who terrorized helpless citizens during the Civil War, confessed to at least nineteen murders, including a child, and was hanged with two companions.

Although graves were already dug in a nearby field, outraged townspeople interred Clark beneath Tennessee Street thus bringing his boast to naught. Tom Clark first came to Lauderdale County in either late or early and moved into what was known as the Blackburn settlement.

Locals immediately gave the new man the nickname "Mountain Tom Clark" because there was already a Tom Clark in the area, and the stranger had come from a mountainous county.

Clark was on the run from the Confederate conscription law but he was eventually forced into service. At the first opportunity, he fled the Confederate camp, making his way north to Clifton, Tennessee, where he enlisted in the Union army. He soon deserted it, as well. Not long after his departure from the Union army, Clark fell in with what many locals would call one of the worst gang of cutthroats that ever cursed the face of the earth. People in northwest Alabama called them the Booger Gang.

Over the next several months in Florence, Clark and his gang tortured several citizens. Eventually, the violence began to catch up to the outlaws, and two of the Booger Gang were caught and shot to death by federal authorities.

Clark had taken refuge for several years in the mountain areas of Jackson County, but in September of , he was visiting Waterloo when someone recognized him and reported his whereabouts to Sheriff Ed Blair in Florence. The sheriff gathered a small posse and rode out to Waterloo, where they were able to capture Clark and two other outlaws on Pettypool Hill, near Gravelly Springs.

On Sept. There, all three were hanged from the branches of a large sycamore tree. After the execution, the women of Florence went to the mayor and requested that Clark and the other men not be interred in the consecrated ground of the Florence Cemetery. The mayor agreed and the bodies were taken to a field across from the cemetery where the two wanted Indiana men were buried.

Frank James. When someone mentions outlaws, more often than not, the name Jesse James will soon follow. His exploits and larger-than-life legend ingrained him as part of American culture. Jesse was the younger brother of Alexander Franklin "Frank" James. The brothers, born in Missouri, would commit crimes in numerous states and eventually would leave their marks on Alabama. They earned their reputations as outlaws separately, together, and as part of the notorious James-Younger gang, but not until after they served in the Civil War.
