According to the legend, one cold winter night 1934, a young girl was killed in an accident coming home from the O. Henry Ballroom (now Willowbrook Ballroom) in Justice, a southern suburb of Chicago.
Her name was Mary and many believe that her name was Mary Bregavy. The girl was buried in Resurrection Cemetery, dressed in her favorite gown and wearing the same dancing shoes she had worn on her final date. Bars in cemetery gate supposedly bent by the ghost of Mary.
She rested peacefully for the next five years, but in 1939 a cab driver picked up a young girl on Archer Avenue wearing a white gown. It was a snowy January night, but the girl was not wearing a coat. She jumped in the front door of the cab and sat by the driver. Suddenly, she told him to stop and the driver looked out the window to where she had pointed. He turned back to the passenger seat and saw that the girl had vanished, and the door had never opened. The cab was directly in front of Resurrection Cemetery.
In May of 1978, a young couple, were driving down Archer Ave. when suddenly they saw a girl running across the road in front of them. The driver hit the brakes but knew it was too late and that he was going to strike the woman with the right front bumper of the car. As they braced for the impact, he saw the car cut right through the image and the image rapidly melting away. In 1976, A man stated that he was driving past the cemetery gates when he saw a girl apparently locked in. When police arrived they did not see a girl however, they discovered that two of the bars has been bent apart. Imbedded in the metal, as he looked closely, were the impressions of hand-prints and skin texture. The Resurrection Mausoleum is also apparently haunted; the taped organ music, alarm system and lights go on and off by themselves. Haunted mausoleum in picture to the right.
A man was going to work when he saw a body of a woman lying right in front of the gates. He stopped his pickup truck to look at the young lady lying in the street. She was still alive, so he went straight to the police station, got the ambulance and came right back. However, the body was gone! The impression where the body was lying was still there. The last weekend in August in 1980, she was seen by dozens of people. Squad cars were dispatched and although the police did not see her, they did find a number of people, many who flagged down the squad car to report what they had just seen.
On September 7th, 1980, Claire Lopez Rudznicki was traveling with her boyfriend and two other friends. They spotted a girl walking on the grass on the right-hand side of the road. Instantly the group said, "It's Resurrection Mary!" Claire covered her head in fear because she really thought it was a ghost. The three people who did look as the car passed this figure all aglow got a real shock when they saw the girl had no face. Just a black hole or void where the face would have been.
