Lewis McBride executed for murdering Will McClain.

1932

Some people claim it is the ghost of Will McClain, a railroad foreman who was killed in the 1930s by an employee he had just fired because McClain suspected him of causing a derailment a short time before.

The local people tell a legend to explain the light. The legend is actually historically accurate. A railroad worker was working outside of the town one night. He accidently fell into the path of a train and was killed.
