Bachelor's Grove Cemetery in the south suburb of Midlothian, Il is renouned as being one of the most haunted cemeteries in the world. This small one acre cemetery is boardered on one side by a pond that, in the 1920s, was used as a dumping ground for victims of Mafia hits.

Along with the many phantom people, animals, and objects are men wearing '20s era suits. Throughout Chicago's long Mafia history, much of the action took place outside the city limits, where police departments were smaller and less street-wise.

Bachelor's Grove Cemetery has been around for well over 100 years, though the first hauntings were reported in the 1960s. The road that serviced the cemetery was rerouted to bypass it. This made the cemetery extremely isolated. In the '60s and 70s the cemetery was severely desecrated. Grave stones were smashed or stolen and bodies were unearthed.

While this was going on, Bachelor's Grove was growing a reputation for being a common place for satanic worship. The bodies of newly sacrificed animals are still found there to this day.

The upper window to the right used to be the bedroom of Wally, the former owner of this establishment. Sadly, this is also the room he comitted suicide in. His wife remained in the apartment until her natural death several years later. Since his death, Wally has been sensed on an almost daily basis. Current workers in his pub believe that Wally's wife is also still around and that, in the years between his death and hers, she communicated with Wally.

A bartender who seemed to be challenging the validity of Wally's ghost had a heavy statue droped directly behind her from a shelf as she passed it. The remains of the broken statue are still on display behind the bar. Cold cpots are commonly felt and objects in the bar are often rearranged to match where things were kept when Wally was the bar manager.

Cuba Road is one of the most haunted areas north of Chciago. Just off of Cuba Road is Rainbow Road. At the bend of Rainbow Road there is a blocked off enterance to a large vacant estate. At the end of the driveway pictured to the left was a massive three story mansion. Legend has it that, this house was owned by the Chciago Mafia and used by various gangsters to lay low during the '30s.

The land has sat vacant for decades. There are a number of structures on the property, however, the mansion, which was the site of satanic ritual and became extremely haunted, was burned down as part of a fireman's training exercise.
