Description
Resurrection MaryI've made this for the contest at ~Lisajen-stock
Resurrection Mary is likely the Chicago area's best-known
ghost story. Of the "vanishing hitchhiker" type, the
story takes place outside Resurrection Cemetery in
Justice, Illinois, a few miles southwest of Chicago.
Since the 1930s, several men driving northeast along
Archer Avenue between the Willowbrook Ballroom and
Resurrection Cemetery have reported picking up a young
female hitchhiker. This young woman is dressed somewhat
formally and said to have light blond hair, blue eyes,
and wearing a white party dress. Some more attentive
drivers would sometimes add that she wore a thin shawl,
or dancing shoes, and that she had a small clutch purse,
and is very quiet.
When the driver nears the Resurrection Cemetery, the
young woman asks to be let out, whereupon she disappears
into the cemetery.

Thank you so much Shell! I had almost forgotten this image.
Submitted it in May plus one more for the contest!
They told me that when they had to choose between the two last pieces.
They saw it was the two pieces I had submitted.

I hadn't seen this piece before, it was before you were my friend.
I think I'm going to have to go snooping around your gallery sometime and see all of your stuff that I haven't seen.
So they narrowed it down to two pieces and they were both yours? which one was the other one?
