Aux Sable Cemetery, Minooka
Aux Sable Cemetery in Minooka, Illinois, is associated with a haunted legend of a 6-year-old girl named Adeline Stevenson who is said to roam the cemetery and mess with visitors' cars, although she is from an unrelated political family, as opposed to a 6-year-old who died in the cemetery itself. The cemetery is a pioneer cemetery dating to the 1830s, containing a maintenance building once used to store bodies during winter, and some visitors leave gifts there. A prevalent tale claims that a 6-year-old girl's spirit, identified as Adeline Stevenson, haunts the cemetery, playfully interfering with people's cars and causing mischief. A 1913 maintenance shed on the property was used as a "corpse house" to store bodies during freezing winter months before the ground was unfrozen for burial. The cemetery dates back to the 1830s and contains graves from the Civil War era. It is an active cemetery with nearly a thousand grave sites, some of which have been overturned and face down in the ground. Visitors have reported experiencing the playful spirit of the little girl and have noted unexplained occurrences. The cemetery has been the subject of vandalism, including tombstones being toppled and defaced, though there is no record of such events for the 6-year-old child.
