Jesse James’ Ghost

September 2nd, 2008

The photo above shows the picture of Jesse James with his older brother, Frank James (right).

Jesse James was an American outlaw in Missouri. He is best known for being in the James-Younger Gang, a gang formed in response to the Civil War. He married his first cousin Zerelda Mimms on April 24, 1874. After seeing his gang depleted by deaths and arrests, James felt that there was only two men left that he could trust, Robert and Charley Ford. The brothers had moved in with the James family. However, James didn’t know that Robert Ford had been in negotiations with the Missouri governor. When James was cleaning a dusty picture on the wall, Robert Ford shot James in the back of the head. Some people say that the killing could of been a fake, allowing him to escape justice.

Jesse James’ ghost is said to appear at the Jesse James Farm and Museum in Kearney, Missouri. Click here for the link to the site. This is the farm where Jesse and Frank James had been raised. Jesse had been originally buried at the farm so that his mother can protect her son’s body. The body was later moved to Mount Olivet Cemetery in Kearney, Missouri.

The Jesse James Farm and Museum is said to have been haunted for over a century. Lights have been reported to move around and be seen after theĀ  building had already been locked up, gunfire, and sounds of cries have been heard on the grounds. On foggy mornings, horses and hushed voices have also been heard by witnesses.

    I had to leave the tour early because my children were crying. Out of the rearview mirror of our tractor trailer I saw someone coming. We are often asked to move because of our size so I thought that we were once again inconveniencing someone in the parking lot. The man came right up to my window so I rolled it down and there was nobody there. He was dressed in khaki pants and a white cotton looking shirt with billoughy arms. I had an overwhelming feeling that he wanted to know what I was doing there. Why was I on that property. I didn’t tell anyone for a long time and then I saw this website. I hope that there are other people like me that are really telling a true story of their experience. Thank you for your time. God bless.

    Hi, Christy….I am a tour guide at the Jesse James Farm and was very interested in your story. I have a friend that has also seen a man in khaki colored pants in the old cabin. Thank the Lord I have never seen anything and hope to never! ha Any information you can send my way I would appreciate. Do you remember who your tour guide was? When did this happen? Thanks!

    we were at the james farm in the summer of 2009. we ask permission to use
    our dowsing rods after our tour. we were told yes as long as we didnt
    interfere. we enjoyed getting results from the rods when we addressed frank james. we also took a picture that has a orb in it.it is not dust
    nor a bug. this orb has a wavy tail like white paper fluttering behind it. this is at the front of the house. up by the museum you could smell
    cigar smoke but nobody was smoking. i know it sounds funny but would
    like the chance sometime too use our rods too find dan, franks horse
    that is buried on the farm. thanks so much for a wonderful visit.

    I sent you a email mail last week, just for your attention. My aim is to revamp this story, first and foremost, clear my grandfather of any wrong doing. It is said, ” that he started the war.” When in reality, he was worried about the artillery that was being brought into the area. My grandfather appeared in a early document estimated time around 1850′s to 1890′s, maybe even earlier. I have gathered research, ect. and need more help so that I may revamp this story. Jesse James the so-called outlaw and my aunt Mona Lisa LaSoya had a son Frank LaSoya James, whether out of euphora, or by accident- yet to be determined.

    What I need is more information on Marcus J. Wright- Asa Hoaxley, and John Crawley. Why did receive the award, and pose in a white sheet? I believe Mr. Wright asked this of him. Any information on the Loyalty bill, and whom, did they take to Military custody? Please contact Rose at 323-523-6776 or me Mona Lisa LaSoya at 323-874-1799
    Please reply as soon as possible; the LaSoya family would like to work with your agency.

    There was never a U.S. Mexican war. General Robert E. Lee made it up, because he was trying to determine what the war was about.
