My grandfather is buried there. My grandmother used to take me here to clean up his grave and plant flowers. Never had any experiences, but my grandma was the most pragmatic person I ever knew. She said that cemetery was the scariest place she’s ever been to and to not go alone ever. She said it would randomly get so quiet you could here a pin drop. And when that happens to leave immediately.
I'm surprised nobody offered to buy Mary a headstone over the years . Any idea as to why she was put in an unmarked grave ? Finance issues or maybe her family wanted it that way?
I love this story, and I am glad you are getting down to the bottom of this story. It has been told over and over again for decades. I first learned of it when I was a little girl when my dad was in the Navy stationed at NAS Great Lakes. I wanted to let you know that I noticed that she was born in 1921 and died in 1929, which would make her 8 years old when she died. Maybe she wasn't there celebrating any high school prom, but something we Catholics do, she was celebrating her First Communion. It is such a sad thing that she died so young.
this is about your tour of "blueberry hill". as a teen ,growing up in Germany, Fat's Domino sang a song about blueberry hill. i expected to hear his name in your report. is there a connection?
I also noticed the dates and realized the age is off, then I went back, read the names of the other family members from the article compared to the stone and none of them match up. Wondering if maybe this isn’t the same Anna since the only thing matching is the name.
I grew up in Chicago before I moved to L.A. and there's no mentioning Resurrection Mary without also mentioning Chicago ghost hunter and historian, Richard Crowe, who used to do tours of famous paranormal and ghostly sights around Chicagoland. He was obsessed with Mary, so much so that when he died, he opted to be buried there at Resurrection Cemetery. Chicago is a very haunted city. We also have several other famous ghosts and haunted locations, such as Julia Buccola Petta, who is buried at Mt Carmel Cemetery. She died during child birth in 1921 and, years later, when her body was exhumed, her body had not deteriorated one bit. There's a photo of her in life and a photo of her body taken after the exhumation on her tomb that shows her un-corrupted body. People report smelling roses when visiting her gravesite, but no roses are present. There's also Bachelor's Grove Cemetery, which I've been to, where people report seeing glowing orbs moving thru the forest that surrounds the cemetery. Mobsters used to dispose of bodies in the pond on the cemetery grounds. It's a very spooky place, but there aren't many tombstones left, because they've been vandalized over the years. Great video, guys! Thanks for sharing.
OMG! My first job was in the Willowbrook Ballroom and when I lived in Willow Springs I would drive by Resurrection Cemetery everyday on my way to Argo High School. When we were feeling brave enough, would drive that road in the night looking for her. What memories you've brought back!
Way to pay homage to very well known yet mysterious Chicago urban legend. Not many people know of the Chets Melody Lounge traditions and "Anna". As a Chicagoan who grew up just 3 miles out from the this cemetery qualifies me to deem this the best iteration I've seen of this story. Thank you for your contribution to the legend of the Vanishing Hitchhiker. Also it's pronounced NEEVA and it is indeed where Anna Norkus (the real Resurrection Mary) grew up. I myself grew up 3 blocks over and once spoke with a relative of hers who still lived in that house up until she passed away years ago.
My buddy Jerry Palus, his dad was the man who picked her up. Listening to him tell the story woud give you the chills! He said he knew details about her that he woud never tell anyone.
@@darkside7802 Maybe it is maybe it isn't. Is any of this stuff true? Since your obviously of high IQ and an expert of afterlife encounters, why don't you tell us what is real and what isn't
You guys were in the neighborhood I grew up in! The neighborhood where Anna Norkus lived (5421 S. Neva) is called Garfield Ridge. That address IS in Chicago. The other side of Harlem is Summit, IL (where Argo HS is). Thanks for the video!
I think that’s the cemetery my grandpa took me to when I was 13 and taught me how to drive his car. He said it’s a good place to learn because everyone’s already dead so it doesn’t matter what you hit
Not really a coincidence. I'm from Chicago, and seeing deer in those cemeteries is common, especially in the fall, winter, and early spring, when it gets dark earlier. The deer will come out in the summer, too, but usually they "hide" until the sun is about to go down. If you leave fresh flowers on a grave, the deer will usually eat them and leave you the stems. They LOVE roses!
This is awesome! A long time ago I went on a ghost tour here in Chicago, lead by Richard Crowe....the #1 expert on Resurrectionary Mary. It was sooooo cool!
Hey me too, maybe we were on the same one. I went with a group of ppl from a local bar in Stickney, IL. It was a bus tour & Richard Crowe took us to various places. It was Awesome!
@@juliaheger8127 Oh yeah! Totally worth it. Think I was on one of his last ghost tours. It's a shame. Gone too soon. I also loved the Ghost cookies he would hand out. 🤤
That opening scene with the news reporter. He was awesome haha. So thankful for you guys!!!! I remember first hearing about resurrection Mary on unsolved mysteries and her story scared the shit out of me!!!! The scene with her walking down the side of the road and the person looking in the rear view to discover she has no face!!!! Thanks for this so much!! Happy Thanksgiving And HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
I used to live 15 minutes from here. I worked at Jens Geusthouse for about a year!!! I absolutely love you guys and am thrilled you went so close to my childhood home and the ghost adventures we always took on Archer Ave. Wow!!! Thank you so much for this!!!!! I wish I was there still to meet you guys!! The clock tower at the cemetery down the street is supposed to be haunted along with Monks Castle at the end of archer!!! Omg this is amazing!!! Thank you!!!! Ps. Visit Bachelor's Grove if y'all have a chance..spooky place! Been there many times also!
Dear Michael & Jessica, When the two of you were at Resurrection Cemetery at the start of the video there was a very large building in the background. Which you showcased a bit at the end. It's huge mausoleum with lots of people buried in there. That mausoleum holds the World's Record for having the largest stained glass window at 22,000 square feet. Yep...largest stained glass window on planet earth. As a result it is a very, very profound experience to all of your visual sense when you walk all three floors on a sunny day. It's the most striking stained glass effect I have ever had the privilege to witness. If you guys ever return there, please consider visiting that structure on a sunny day. It's beyond amazing when you see the detail of the artwork within the glass that tells bible stories AND... if you look for it carefully you'll find an occasional "easter egg" item put into the glass that are clearly not part of the stories... The place is beyond words, but it's best appreciated on a sunny afternoon only. Give yourselves at least a couple of hours to walk around to take it all in.
I have been fascinated by the Resurrection Mary story ever since I saw it featured on a rerun of "Unsolved Mysteries" when I was a kid. A part of me always wanted to travel to Chicago and slowly drive down the street to see if Mary ever appeared. I would never offer her a ride, but I would happily give her directions. 😆
I live in willow springs off archer! 😂 It’s so sad about the willow brook and the new town houses make the beautiful view that used to be there look awful now Ugh. this is really well done! If you went into the Irish legend right across from where the willow brook you used to be they would have some insight for you as well! Also something to add, a local cop said someone who did ghost tours in the 1990s supposedly dressed up as resurrection Mary and there was quite a few people who saw the person dressed up from the road and really thought it was her! Cops were called, they let him off but the same cop saw him in the jail the following Halloween dressed as her again!
Thanks for the "ride along" with Resurrection Mary. It is so weird but all during this video, I felt a presence around me. Never had that happen before.
There was some old wives tales about her. One was that if you stood in front of a mirror in a dark room and repeatedly said her name , out of nowhere your face would get scratched.
We used to say I hate Mrs Mary weather over an over in a dark closet and get scratched, as decades go by stories switch up, I was hateing Mrs Mary weather in the early 60s
Ive been waiting for this every time you go to Chicago. I remember hearing about this on “Unsolved Mysteries” as a child and it terrified me! I went through a phase where I researched this haunting and there is many stories about her
I used to live walking distance to resurrection and have family buried there. I personally never seen anything myself, but I used to love looking at the old headstones.
Just over an hour north of Sydney Australia, there's a hitch-hiking ghost known as Jenny Dixon. After a party a teenage girl is walking home and accepts a ride from a group of young men. The night comes to a tragic end. Jenny Dixon usually appears on rainy nights, will insist on sitting in the back seat and disappears once the vehicle passes Noraville Cemetery. The stretch of road is known as Wilfred Barrett Drive.
I remember when me my sister and our boyfriends at the time watched Unsolved mysteries and drove there to see the grave site and we had to go inside to ask where the plot was and when we found it there was a dead deer on the spot we reported it and never saw any ghost even when we came back at night. But it is a good story. Glad you did this video.
Oh I cannot wait to watch this later. Have to leave for a Thanksgiving dinner at my brothers. I grew up in Justice, IL. We used to go fishing in the pond in that cemetery :)
This ist the most beautiful video you've ever done ! The footage , the background choir , the story of Mary ... it's really touching me . Thank you for this.... the perfect video for this time of the year. Greetings from Germany 👋
Good one folks! I was in Chet's and they used to have a song about Mary on the Juke Box. I was also in the ball room for a wedding and on a ghost tour with the late Richard Crowe in which we stopped at those gate and saw them bent with the hand prints!
This is so close to where I grew up. Lord, there is so much to look into in Chicago. Archer Road in general is crazy paranormal and has a fascinating history - you could probably do an entire video on it. Check out the Ashbary Coffee House. There's also Bachelors Grove, Mary Alice Quinn (Chicago's miracle child), and probably a few other places I could think of. Please let me know if ever want more ideas for a Chicago video. I love your videos so much. And I really love it when they are from places I have lived (Chi, Baltimore, Arizona)
Im from Chicago. About 7 or 8 years ago me and my friend had a weird experience at the cemetary gate. It was Halloween night at about 2 am. It was snowing and cold. We were parked in front of the cemetary entrance googling Mary articles. Suddenly a young Polish looking young woman walks in front of the car. She kept walking and facing forward. It scared us so we screamed and drive out of there. Then we drove around the whole cemetary and didnt see her anywhere. She was tall and slim with long blonde hair. She was wearing jeans and a white jacket and white hat. Why would a young woman be out walking in front of the cemetary at 2 am in a snowstorm on Halloween night alone? The whole experience creeped us out.
Now this was so cool that you visited this cemetery! My parents are buried there and we go to visit their graves when we can. It's a beautiful place.. did you see right in the middle of it there are a bunch of deer that live there? I think it's so cool and so is the mausoleum... Thank you for gracing it with your presence! Very well done video and I appreciate the hard work and research you put into them all!
I grew up in Chicago. That house looks like a home that would be that old. A bit remodeled, the front porch enclosed, siding added over the original wood exterior on the 2nd floor. The houses next door are newer, but Mary's home may have been an original on the street and the yard extended, even undeveloped fields.
I'm a civil war buff and have visited every major battle field. Gettysburg is said to have ghosts of soldiers. I've never seen anything that could be remotely considered a ghost at any of them.
Excellent video, one of the local folklorists/ghostlorist of the area, Ursula Bielski, did alot of research like you guys did. In that book, she describes her research, and also describe where they took pictures of Anna Norkus and the other candidates for Resurrection Mary and showed them to eye witnesses, as well as people who picked her up. They all picked Anna Norkus leading to more support that she is the true Resurrection Mary. Once again, great vid, looking forward to more of them to come
I think you really uncovered the true story. I went to Argo high school, I grew up in the area of Summit, Argo, willow springs, and that area of Chicago where Anna lived is called Garfield ridge (Chicago)The area of 66th and old Harlem is called clearing (Chicago) Argo high school was built in 1920. In the 70's I saw the hand prints and the bent bars. A lot of my friends saw it. The cemetery did not change the bars immediately. Amazing research in this video
I LOVE that you two are fans of Supernatural!! I'm a crazy Superfan myself. I have a large tattoo on my left arm in tribute to Supernatural. I'm actually going to add to it, gotta have Baby on there.
If you like this story, I would look into the story of the Italian bride in Chicago. Not as famous as resurrection Mary, but still a great legend to read about
I noticed on the headstone she had a brother (John I think) whose dates were 1918 - 1929 so he would have been 11. Maybe they people got his age mixed up ad Anna's age
These Lady spirits seem to be found the world over. Each with such a sad tale behind them. Such a great and eye opening presentation of whom resurrection Mary may be. Anyway God bless her and cheers both. Xx
Great story! I was there at the gates of the cemetery years ago. The gates were bent with burned finger impressions on them. The bar owner was such a nice man. Jessica is so cute, I love her jacket!
I just found this channel and I’m so thankful I did. You guys are my new guilty pleasure. Truly, thanks for traveling to these places and taking us on these adventures. Thanks for everything y’all do. 😊❤
I instantly remembered that episode of supernatural when the news caster said “lady in white”! So cool you visited the sight of this legend! Poor Jessica looks so cold🥺🥶 reminds me of when I lived in Connecticut, definitely don’t miss that bitter cold😂 thanks for another great video!❤👻
I’m so excited that you did this on my girl, resurrection, Mary, growing up in Chicago, all my life and hearing the story of resurrection Mary what a treat!
We have a similar ghost story here in Australia. A ghostly young woman/girl hitchhiking on a lonely ( and very creepy road - I’ve been on it several times ). She sits in the back seat and rides in silence, then she’s just not there anymore. The road is called “ The Wakehurst Parkway “. Been there, done that.
I have a family member that knew this story, it's a good one, but the best thing about this video is the deer wandering through the cemetery, absolutely fantastic! Thanks for capturing that!
I lived in Chicago Illinois my whole life and I heard about her story all my life especially on Halloween. She’s a loss soul looking for a Good life. She didn’t want to die to fast.
Love the information on Resurrection Mary. So much more then I've ever heard. Can't believe you were here in the area. Would have liked to have met you both. I guess if you told ppl where your going you'd be bombarded with followers. It is a beautiful cemetery most of my family is buried there. My dad is just a little ways down to the right when driving in by the entrance gate. I used to go on cemetery walks unable to now health issues. Always interesting & intriguing. Thanks for taking me a long, great video. Be safe to you both in your travels.
Great vid as always guys👌 Just one thing that doesn't add up , on the gravestone it says 1921 -1929 for Anna, which makes her 8yrs old NOT 12. So maybe it's not the same Anna ??
One of my favorite folk stories, ghost stories, legend, the lady in white who hichhikes a ride and disappears at the cemetery. Many states also have this legend not the same name per say, I think the story of the ghost ask you to drive her home and she disappears when you pull up to her house.
going by the dates on the grave for Anna, she was eight when she died. It sounds like people just combined two different stories to make the legend of Mary.
NO, NO,NO, My Friends have seen Her. I am from Chicago, and I know where my Grand Parents are Buried 100%.....No One ever in my Family Talks about this, Stanley & Stella Leganski. Were buried here at Resurrection Mary.
Michael and Jessica you guys are outstanding as always I've said it many times on my comments,the way you make these stories come alive and the background music is perfect every time the attentions of detail I love. I crack up Jessica always shuffles through the leaves awsome video. Happy Halloween 🎃
I would LOVE the Anna Norkus story to be behind the Resurrection Mary legend but at only 8yrs old at the date of her passing it seems a bit of a stretch. Awesome video guys, one of my favourites so far! 💜
What an interesting story Another wonderful video The Deer 🦌 in the Cemetery & the Music added that bit more atmosphere to the story Thank you Michael & Jessica
Hi 👋 I'm Tracey . I found your channel about a year or so ago . Love it ! I'm not sure it you've heard of Troy Taylor or not but he has written around 160 books about these types of thing . He wrote a book called Resurrection Mary . It's a great read . I ❤️ your channel , and I will continue to keep watching. Hi baby ghoul !!! 😃😃👻👻👻
I actually have close family members who are buried at Resurrection Cemetary. In all the times I've been there to put flowers out, I've never seen an apparition of any kind--day or night.
I have a good friend that's from the south side area of Chicago. I went to visit him one year. We drove to Resurrection Cemetery and parked along side the road. It got real cold yet it was August; he told me about Resurrection Mary. He was also telling me about the finger prints in the bars of the Cemetery gates. I saw a car stop and started to proceed up the street. I watched it slam on the brakes suddenly. My friend told me Resurrection Mary was in that car.
I'm from around Chicago, she is a local legend. There was even an episode of Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack about her.
I remember watching that one, She illuminated all in white but had no face, Creepy
Robert Stack could make a video of a dental cleaning creepy.
I first heard about Resurrection Mary on a Ghost Tour hosted by the famous RIchard Crowe. He could really set the stage. We were all scared to death.
@@Fearfullyfree I so miss Robert Stack and that great show.
@@juliaheger8127 ~ I miss Mr. Robert Stack too, as well as the show! He's a Legend!!
My grandfather is buried there. My grandmother used to take me here to clean up his grave and plant flowers. Never had any experiences, but my grandma was the most pragmatic person I ever knew. She said that cemetery was the scariest place she’s ever been to and to not go alone ever. She said it would randomly get so quiet you could here a pin drop.

I grew up on the southwest side of Chicago and now live in AZ. He should do a video of the Tylenol murders!
Is the Asbury Coffee house hunted??
@@Uarleni yes, very much so. Ghost tours go through it all the time. Quirkiest place ever.
One of everyone's favorite ghost stories - told as only Michael and Jessica can!! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!! 👻🖤
Im from Chicago. About 7 or 8 years ago me and my friend had a weird experience at the cemetary gate. It was Halloween night at about 2 am. It was snowing and cold. We were parked in front of the cemetary entrance googling Mary articles. Suddenly a young Polish looking young woman walks in front of the car. She kept walking and facing forward. It scared us so we screamed and drive out of there. Then we drove around the whole cemetary and didnt see her anywhere. She was tall and slim with long blonde hair. She was wearing jeans and a white jacket and white hat. Why would a young woman be out walking in front of the cemetary at 2 am in a snowstorm on Halloween night alone? The whole experience creeped us out.
Now this was so cool that you visited this cemetery! My parents are buried there and we go to visit their graves when we can. It's a beautiful place.. did you see right in the middle of it there are a bunch of deer that live there? I think it's so cool and so is the mausoleum... Thank you for gracing it with your presence! Very well done video and I appreciate the hard work and research you put into them all!
St casimir cemetery is two blocks from my house. I used to run there every day. Now I gotta check this out. Great job.
I grew up in Chicago. That house looks like a home that would be that old. A bit remodeled, the front porch enclosed, siding added over the original wood exterior on the 2nd floor. The houses next door are newer, but Mary's home may have been an original on the street and the yard extended, even undeveloped fields.
Agree. That house looks like an early ‘20’s build.
I drive down Archer Avenue on my way to Midway. Haven't met Mary yet.
Baby Ghoul is like a kid in a candy shop. With the leaves 😂. Made me laugh 🤣
Weird.. on my lunch break.. working construction. Literally on Archer ave! But in willow springs
My grandmother is buried here, and I've often felt strong energy around there!!
I'm a civil war buff and have visited every major battle field. Gettysburg is said to have ghosts of soldiers. I've never seen anything that could be remotely considered a ghost at any of them.
Resurrection Mary would also dance with single men at a local dance and ask for a ride home and disappear when they came up to resurrection cemetery
Excellent video, one of the local folklorists/ghostlorist of the area, Ursula Bielski, did alot of research like you guys did. In that book, she describes her research, and also describe where they took pictures of Anna Norkus and the other candidates for Resurrection Mary and showed them to eye witnesses, as well as people who picked her up. They all picked Anna Norkus leading to more support that she is the true Resurrection Mary. Once again, great vid, looking forward to more of them to come
I think you really uncovered the true story. I went to Argo high school, I grew up in the area of Summit, Argo, willow springs, and that area of Chicago where Anna lived is called Garfield ridge (Chicago)The area of 66th and old Harlem is called clearing (Chicago) Argo high school was built in 1920. In the 70's I saw the hand prints and the bent bars. A lot of my friends saw it. The cemetery did not change the bars immediately. Amazing research in this video
St Casmir Cemetery-Anna Norkus, Section 10,grave 1w, lot 142.
Resurrection Cemetery-Mary Rozanc, section MM,grave11,lot 10,block 30.
Mary Bregovy, section MM, grave 9,lot 13,block 55. Notice the empty unmarked grave.
That was told so well. I love when you guys do stories like this. You guys are great.
I LOVE that you two are fans of Supernatural!! I'm a crazy Superfan myself. I have a large tattoo on my left arm in tribute to Supernatural. I'm actually going to add to it, gotta have Baby on there.
I remember first hearing about Mary from Robert Stack on Unsolved Mysteries! Absolutely terrifying! Thank for the Great Video
If you like this story, I would look into the story of the Italian bride in Chicago. Not as famous as resurrection Mary, but still a great legend to read about
What's interesting is the articles say she is 12. However, the dates on her stone say 1921-1929. That makes her only 8 years old.
I noticed on the headstone she had a brother (John I think) whose dates were 1918 - 1929 so he would have been 11. Maybe they people got his age mixed up ad Anna's age
You've captured some beautiful imagery in this video and provided some background on a great story. Thank you both so much!
These Lady spirits seem to be found the world over. Each with such a sad tale behind them. Such a great and eye opening presentation of whom resurrection Mary may be. Anyway God bless her and cheers both. Xx
Thanks again for coming to the Chicago area. You are always welcome! Can't wait for the next visit. 👻
PHANTOM DEER AT 22:03. RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN!!!!!
Yesss, somebody out there is making videos about Resurrection Mary. One of the greatest hauntings in world history.
Resurrection Mary. Our nation's and perhaps the world's favorite hitchhiker ghost. Thanks once again.
Happy Thanksgiving Michael and Jessica! Thanks for the video! One of the best channels on TH-cam!
Great story! I was there at the gates of the cemetery years ago. The gates were bent with burned finger impressions on them. The bar owner was such a nice man. Jessica is so cute, I love her jacket!
Hank you for trying to find and tell the story of this young girl who list her life at such an early age. Young but not forgotten. Rest in peace Mary!
I just found this channel and I’m so thankful I did. You guys are my new guilty pleasure. Truly, thanks for traveling to these places and taking us on these adventures. Thanks for everything y’all do. 😊❤
I instantly remembered that episode of supernatural when the news caster said “lady in white”! So cool you visited the sight of this legend! Poor Jessica looks so cold🥺🥶 reminds me of when I lived in Connecticut, definitely don’t miss that bitter cold😂 thanks for another great video!❤👻
I grew up near this cemetery (now 38). I think it's a fun tale and nothing more. That cemetery is on such a busy road in a highly populated area.
Also the Anna Norkus house was built in 1919, so that is likely the exact house she lived in
According to her gravestone, little Anna was only 8 when she was killed. Not 11, or 12, or 13.
Exactly 🤦♂️
yall should one day check out Bachelors Grove Cemetery. It's the most haunted place in the Chicago land area
That place is creepy. Went in it once. Never again
I’m so excited that you did this on my girl, resurrection, Mary, growing up in Chicago, all my life and hearing the story of resurrection Mary what a treat!
That buck going thru the cemetery was wild and unexpected. Thanks for the research and standing out in the cold!
We have a similar ghost story here in Australia. A ghostly young woman/girl hitchhiking on a lonely ( and very creepy road - I’ve been on it several times ). She sits in the back seat and rides in silence, then she’s just not there anymore. The road is called “ The Wakehurst Parkway “. Been there, done that.
There is also a Lady in White ghost in New England -- she is also referred to as "Resurrection Mary". I read about her in Fate Magazine.
I have a family member that knew this story, it's a good one, but the best thing about this video is the deer wandering through the cemetery, absolutely fantastic! Thanks for capturing that!
I always tell my family when I die I will let you know I am with you. But after some deep thought I realized it would terrify them. 🖤
The deer in 22:04 spooked me! I thought it was a spirit/ghost
Me too! I wanted to see if someone else saw it. Looks like a black shadow. 😬
I lived in Chicago Illinois my whole life and I heard about her story all my life especially on Halloween. She’s a loss soul looking for a
Good life. She didn’t want to die to fast.
Resurrection Mary was a ghost storie that I grew up listening to when I was a kid back in the 1970's & 1980's!!
I'm so glad I found this channel...now I'm binge watching Amazing videos, instead of chasing ghosts alone...
Love the information on Resurrection Mary. So much more then I've ever heard. Can't believe you were here in the area. Would have liked to have met you both. I guess if you told ppl where your going you'd be bombarded with followers. It is a beautiful cemetery most of my family is buried there. My dad is just a little ways down to the right when driving in by the entrance gate. I used to go on cemetery walks unable to now health issues. Always interesting & intriguing. Thanks for taking me a long, great video. Be safe to you both in your travels.
Need to go to river road in Libertyville Illinois and go to the huge iron gates that supposedly had childrens heads stuck to the spikes
I love that old sacred Catholic music.
The music is perfect, and the story well told. The best way to spend a balmy Saturday evening in Tennessee
The dear in the cemetery is so peaceful
The legend of Mary grows with this video. The story would make a great horror movie.
There's actually two movies about her in which I have one copy on dvd.
Yay I'm so glad you guys did this video stay warm it's really cold in Chicago
I would love to hear your guys ghost stories! I’ve had strange and incredible experiences myself. 👻
Great vid as always guys👌
Just one thing that doesn't add up , on the gravestone it says 1921 -1929 for Anna, which makes her 8yrs old NOT 12. So maybe it's not the same Anna ??
One of my favorite folk stories, ghost stories, legend, the lady in white who hichhikes a ride and disappears at the cemetery. Many states also have this legend not the same name per say, I think the story of the ghost ask you to drive her home and she disappears when you pull up to her house.
🫣One of the weirdest feelings I ever felt was from here! ~ Love your vids Grim & Baby Goul! Happy Thanksgiving!♥️
Sweet! You guys went to Summit! They have so many cool haunts there.
going by the dates on the grave for Anna, she was eight when she died. It sounds like people just combined two different stories to make the legend of Mary.
NO, NO,NO, My Friends have seen Her. I am from Chicago, and I know where my Grand Parents are Buried 100%.....No One ever in my Family Talks about this, Stanley & Stella Leganski. Were buried here at Resurrection Mary.
Michael and Jessica you guys are outstanding as always I've said it many times on my comments,the way you make these stories come alive and the background music is perfect every time the attentions of detail I love. I crack up Jessica always shuffles through the leaves awsome video. Happy Halloween 🎃
I would LOVE the Anna Norkus story to be behind the Resurrection Mary legend but at only 8yrs old at the date of her passing it seems a bit of a stretch. Awesome video guys, one of my favourites so far! 💜
The DOB might be incorrect. Her birth certificate and death certificate, which would be public record, would confirm the date(s).
What an interesting story
Another wonderful video
The Deer 🦌 in the Cemetery & the Music added that bit more atmosphere to the story
Thank you Michael & Jessica
Hi 👋 I'm Tracey . I found your channel about a year or so ago . Love it ! I'm not sure it you've heard of Troy Taylor or not but he has written around 160 books about these types of thing . He wrote a book called Resurrection Mary . It's a great read . I ❤️ your channel , and I will continue to keep watching. Hi baby ghoul !!! 😃😃👻👻👻
Thank you for visiting Justice, Willow Springs and Archer Ave! You did a great job on the video. I wish I could of met you two in my hometown Justice.
I actually have close family members who are buried at Resurrection Cemetary. In all the times I've been there to put flowers out, I've never seen an apparition of any kind--day or night.
I have a good friend that's from the south side area of Chicago. I went to visit him one year. We drove to Resurrection Cemetery and parked along side the road. It got real cold yet it was August; he told me about Resurrection Mary. He was also telling me about the finger prints in the bars of the Cemetery gates. I saw a car stop and started to proceed up the street. I watched it slam on the brakes suddenly. My friend told me Resurrection Mary was in that car.
