Bachelor's Grove Cemetery

Originally part of a small settlement that was established by four single men, the Bachelor's Grove Cemetery was abandoned near the turn of the century and has since been robbed, broken and made out in despite an ever growing portfolio of ghost stories and myths. 

The tiny, 82 plot graveyard was established around 1840 as part of a small and quickly defunct Illinois settlement. Settlers and Russian rail workers filled most of the plots, although by the 1920's rumors of gangland bodies being dumped on the grounds began to circulate. By the 1950's burials were no longer taking place on the grounds, but a whole lot of making out was as local teenagers used the overgrown cemetery as a party spot. The youth would break the headstones or steal them so regularly that most of the surrounding police stations eventually ended up with some piece of the cemetery.

Along with the teenagers came the ghost stories and soon the Bachelor's Grove Cemetery was host to sightings of many of the usual suspects. A white lady, a black dog, and floating orbs were all reported and a semi-respectable study of the site was even conducted. However the only thing that was provable was that it was place to make out.
