Bachelor’s Grove

Chicago, Illinois

This small, abandoned cemetery should have faded into obscurity and probably would have if not for the 100 or so reports of eerie phenomena that have been reported there. Some have called it the most haunted place in America. The apparitions include a mysterious, phantom farmhouse with white porch pillars and a porch swing that squeaks until you approach it. There’s also a pond on the grounds that legend says was a dumping ground for murdered gangsters (despite no records of bodies ever being found there). The pond is not only haunted by the restless souls of the unavenged murdered, but also by the ghost of an old farmer, who was pulled into the water by his plowhorse. Of course, no haunted cemetery would be complete without its lady in white, and Bachelor’s Grove has one, too. She can be seen wandering the grounds, babe in arms, on nights when the moon is full.

Haunted Farmhouse

Centerview, Mo

This large farmhouse was built in 1913. The house was built on the same foundation as the house that was built in 1850. The original owners of the property (bought in 1832) are known to haunt the house. This was one of the farms devastated by the red legs raid at the onset of the Civil War. A young slave woman buried here that was killed in that raid also haunts the grounds. The presence of a WWI soldier banging his rifle against the hallway walls has been experienced.
