While Chicago's Resurrection Cemetery is home to one of the most famous ghosts in American history, Resurrection Mary, the nearby Bachelor's Grove Cemetery, just outside Chicago in Midlothian, Illinois, is famous for just straight up having ghosts out the wazoo. As Atlas Obscura explains, the small graveyard was built around 1840 as part of a short-lived settlement and was abandoned around the turn of the 20th century. Since that time, the legends surrounding the 82-plot graveyard have only grown as it has attracted graverobbers, vandals, and ghost hunters alike (and, so the stories go, cultists and mobsters dumping bodies).

According to Windy City Ghosts, reported phenomena at Bachelor's Grove include a ghost dog with red eyes that chases people off the grounds, a ghostly farmer with a phantom horse, spectral vehicles with no drivers, your standard glowing orbs, dark figures in hooded robes, and a two-headed pond monster. There's also a shimmering, floating phantom farmhouse that appears and disappears at random, never in the same part of the graveyard twice. Most famous, however, is the woman in white, known as the Madonna of Bachelor's Grove, seen carrying her baby around the graveyard under the full moon.
