If you caught the Red Eye's "Graveyards and Ghosts" article today, you're likely still a little spooked. Just in time for All Hallow's Eve, the article highlights a supposedly haunted Chicagoland cementary for those of you looking for a scare.
It's believed that "Resurrection Mary" a local and famous spirit can be seen not only within Resurrection Cementary (7201 Archer Ave., Justice, IL), but is known for hitting up passers-by for a ride.
The Red Eye reports, "Over the years, thousands of people have reported a young woman who flags down passing cars for a ride home. When they ask for an address, she supplies that of the cemetery. Often, 'Mary' vanishes in the car or steps out at the cemetery and fades into darkness.

During the '30s, a Polish woman between the ages of 17 and 22 was on her way back from a dance at the O'Henry Ballroom when she was killed in a car accident. She was buried in Resurrection Cemetery, and locals believe that this is 'Mary.' She is always seen wearing a vintage ball gown and seems incredibly lifelike -- until she vanishes."
Who's up for a late night drive to see Mary this weekend?
