St. James Hotel Selma
1200 Water Ave, Selma, AL 36701, United States
The St. James Hotel is famously associated with the spirits of outlaw Jesse James and his girlfriend, Lucinda. It's rumored they frequently stayed here. Guests report seeing a man in cowboy attire, presumed to be Jesse, especially in and around rooms he supposedly favored. Lucinda's spirit is also sensed, sometimes through the smell of lavender perfume. Beyond them, given its age and role during the Civil War, other unexplained paranormal activities are common: disembodied footsteps in hallways, doors locking/unlocking on their own, and phantom smells of cigars. A ghostly dog is also reported to roam the courtyard.
