After a night of dancing at the now defunct O’Henry Ballroom, legend has it that Resurrection Mary got into a skirmish with her boyfriend. Distraught but determined, Mary left in search of her own ride home, but was hit by a car on Archer Avenue outside the ballroom. She was found dead later, after the driver had fled the scene, and then buried at Resurrection Cemetery. Since then, drivers in the area have reported unusual encounters with a ghostly blond women dressed in white.



Resurrection Mary was made into a movie for the Chicago Horror Film Festival. Watch the spooky trailers to prepare yourself for a visit to the scene of the crime.



Indiana native John Dillinger was a notorious gangster who roamed the Midwest with his thieving gang in the 1930s. With Dillinger leading, the group killed 10, wounded seven, robbed Chicago banks and escaped from jail three times.



In May 1934, Time Magazine discussed possible sightings of Dillinger’s ghost, including on Chicago’s North Side, where an abandoned car with bloodstained seats was suspected to be remnants of a Dillinger killing.



This unpredictable villain’s ghost is also said to haunt the Biograph Theater on Lincoln Avenue in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago.
