Al Capone was not afraid of any living thing but he was just afraid of a ghost. The deadliest gangster in America spent his later years in extreme fear of a ghost named Jimmy.
Let's go back to see this incredible story.
The Origin of Al Capone
Gangster grew up a poor kid in Brooklyn. His parents were immigrants from Naples. Nine children were in total.
He left school at the age of 14, after hitting the teacher's face, reports “Hidden-truth”, the Periscope broadcasts. In his defense, teachers back then were not tolerant of immigrant children and often used physical punishment against them. Al's teacher hit him but he didn't plan to return it the same way.
After being expelled from school, Capone joined two street gangs: Rippers Brooklyn and Juniors Fortety Thiaves. It was the beginning of one of the most notorious crime careers of all time. By the time he died, Capone had won $100 million from his various blackmail operations, which included smuggling, prostitution and fortune games.
Capone was never convicted of ordering murder, but it is generally understood that he was the one who ordered the killings.
One of the guys who was killed that day (in the Valentine's massacre) was James “Jimmy” Clark. You won't find much information about him, but he was a low-ranking mobster working for Bugs.
Unfortunately, he gained more fame when he was dead than when he was alive.
Capone was never sent to prison for murder, but for holding a concealed weapon. His cell in the East State prison in Philadelphia was extremely furnished and even decorated. Other prisoners heard him scream at night and even talking to someone.
When Capone was released, he hoped Jimmy's ghost would stay behind. But wherever Capone went, he followed Jimmy's ghost. It was the weirdest couple in the world.
Capone is convicted again, but this time for tax evasion and has been sent to Atlanta prison and then transferred to Alkasraz. At this time he suffered from syphilis.
His illness at first hurts his genital organs. Stage two is a body rash. Then syphilis “zht”.
Capone died in Palm Island Estate in 1947 at the age of 48. Those who believe in such things can be sure that Jimmy was with him to the end. We'll never know if Al Capone had really followed ghosts, or if he suffered serious hallucinations from neurosyphilis./Periscopi/
