There is a legend here in the Chicago area that you may or may not heard about. In Justice, Illinois there is a place called Resurrection Cemetery that is said to be haunted by a young woman hitchhiker. There were several reports from people who claim to have picked up this ghostly woman to give her a ride only to have her vanish when she got out.
The story goes that Mary had spent the evening dancing with a boyfriend at the Oh Henry Ballroom. At some point, they got into an argument and Mary stormed out. Even
though it was a cold winter’s night, she thought she would rather face a
cold walk home than spend another minute with her boyfriend. She left the ballroom and started walking up Archer Avenue. She had
not gotten very far when she was struck and killed by a hit-and-run
driver, who fled the scene leaving Mary to die. Her parents found her
and were grief-stricken at the sight of her dead body. They buried her
in Resurrection Cemetery, wearing a beautiful white dancing dress and
matching dancing shoes. The hit-and-run driver was never found.
The story of Resurrection Mary was featured on
Unsolved Mysteries with
Robert Stack and has also been used in horror films.
