Resurrection Mary" is the best-known ghost story in the Chicago area.
According to the legend, a young Polish girl (between 17 and 22) was killed in a car crash in the early 1930s and buried in Resurrection Cemetery. Her death occurred on the way back from a dance at the nearby O'Henry Ballroom (now called the Willowbrook Ballroom).
She is now encountered as a "Vanishing Hitchhiker". Several people have reported picking her up as a hitchhiker, taking her to or from the ballroom. As the car passes Resurrection, she usually vanishes. She is described as looking like a living person, speaking very little, wearing a 1930's ball gown. Sometimes her flesh is cool to the touch.

Once on Halloween they had a talk show on the radio and the subject was ghosts in Chicago. As I was listening this Chicago cabby called up and he told a story where he picked her( Ressurection Mary) up. When he looked in his mirror,she was gone.
