Best of 2025 | Resurrection Mary: The True Story of Chicago’s Vanishing Hitchhiker Ghost

from Weekly Spooky | Scary Stories for Halloween · host Henrique Couto | Scary Stories & Horror Expert

Resurrection Mary is the hitchhiker said to vanish near Resurrection Cemetery after accepting a ride along Chicago's Archer Avenue. This Best of 2025 Terrifying & True follows the white-dress ghost legend through Jerry Palus's account, later reported encounters, and theories about Mary Bregovy and Anna Norkus. Why do generations keep telling a similar roadside story? Explore the local history, disputed identities, and retellings that made Mary part of American folklore. The mystery lies in how the legend grew, with alleged sightings treated as accounts rather than proof of a ghost.
