I myself have been there several times(all in the day time, because I have a fear of being arrested…)and haven't really experienced anything that I could write home about.  Distant voices and weird sounds, but that can probably be attributed to the nearby 143rd.


I had heard about Bachelor's Grove when I was still in Chicago, but really only in reference to Al Capone and him supposedly dumping bodies there.  I've never been there myself since there was never really a reason for me to go to Oak Forest or Midlothian.

A few years back, I swear a saw a show that featured this place.  It was a short lived paranormal show that feature older teens checking out haunted locations.  I can't remember the name of it or even the channel it was on.  The only thing that drew my attention was that they were in Illinois.  From the pictures that I've seen, it "looked" like the same place.  Anyway, the show itself was dreadful.  I wasn't surprised that it was canceled…I was surprised that it was even made in the first place… Laughing

And by the way, if interested, in the second link in my original post, this location is listed.  If you want to check it out, look in the column on the right.  It's listed under the 2007 heading.


The  show was on ABC Family,  or Nickelodeon, and was i think called Real Scary Stories or something.Yes, it did have a group of teens go to Bachelor's Grove cemetery. They also had about a haunted bed some boy owned, and BunnyMan Bridge, in Virginia, and some other stuff.I had recorded the show in a marathon, and some episodes also of Scariest Places on Earth, which I sent to my sister.

Yes, that's it.  Thank you.  I knew wasn't imagining things.  Well, then again, that doesn't prove that I wasn't imagining things, but at least I wasn't imagining that…

I spent a day in Bonaventure Cemetary last year when I had the privelege of visiting Savannah and it was even more breathtaking than the pictures indicate.

I'm a Hoosier gal, and one of the more "famous" Hoosier haunts is the Hannah House in Indianapolis. Apparently, the Hannah family didn't really suffer a lot of personal tragedy themselves, with the exception of a stillborn child, but the cellar of the home was a stop on the Underground Railroad. (If you look closely, you can still see the tracks…LOL). Apparently, one evening when the cellar was full of runaway slaves, a lantern was tipped over which started a fire. Several of the slaves were killed, and to escape notice by the neighbors of the Hannah's activities, they buried the slaves in the dirt floors of the cellar in a tunnel.

I have toured the home multiple times and it is a very beautiful location to visit (both the home and the grounds). While I didn't really have any "paranormal" experiences of my own, I will say that there is a bedroom on the second floor that had a very "heavy" feeling to it when you walked in. The air just seemed to feel somewhat…oppressive, I guess would be the word. When I spoke with one of the docent's there later and told her that, she said "Ah…that is the room where Mrs. Hannah gave birth to her stillborn child." Now I don't know if this is true or not, but if so, it was definitely a bit creepy.

The home is open for tours, and during the month of October they do a "haunted house and hayride" tour there with all the requisite rigged effects. However, apparently the people who are responsible for set-up and the actors that participate have had some unusual experiences in the house, everything from hearing scratching that sounded like it was coming from inside the walls, moans in the basement, shadowy figures and voices from inside a locked and unoccupied room.

All in all, it's a fairly interesting place to visit, and a beautiful and historic one as well!
