what do you think about the legend of resurrection mary?

Question

i've read a lot of ghost stories and i read about this one a while back. i just read about it again and was wondering what everyone else thinks about it!

Answer 1

"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.

Answer 2

Perhaps her soul is not at rest, or that someone killed her, and she is trying to find her way back or still likes to dance, or who knows for what reason? Or she is there for a reason, to let people know that there are spirits or souls that do wander the earth--I am only guessing here.

God only knows.

You can try FIND A GRAVE, register on it, and go under "famous Grave Searches," and write a note if you like. Peace.
