Archer Avenue in Chicago is famously haunted by Resurrection Mary, a hitchhiking ghost known for appearing in a white gown and disappearing near Resurrection Cemetery. The legend describes Mary as a young woman killed in the 1920s or 1930s, either in a car crash or hit-and-run, who flags down drivers, particularly men, only to vanish before they reach the cemetery. She is often described as wandering Archer Avenue between the former Willowbrook Ballroom and Resurrection Cemetery. Mary is a classic "vanishing hitchhiker" ghost story, one of Chicago's most famous. She is consistently described as a young woman wearing a white gown and accessories, like the dress she wore on the night she died. While the exact details vary, the most common stories involve her death sometime between the late 1920s and early 1930s, either from a car accident while on the way to a dance or a hit-and-run. She is specifically associated with the stretch of Archer Avenue between the now-closed Willowbrook Ballroom and Resurrection Cemetery in Justice, Illinois. The most defining aspect of the sightings is her vanishing act, which occurs just as the car approaches Resurrection Cemetery. Many drivers have reported picking her up, only for her to disappear before they reach the cemetery gates. Some versions of the legend link her to a specific woman named Mary Briggoi, a factory worker who loved to dance, or even Anna "Majira" Norkus. Cemetery workers have also reported seeing her spirit, further cementing her connection to the area.
