Chicago Hauntings: Resurrection Mary, Chicago's most famous ghost
CHICAGO -- The story of Resurrection Mary is easily Chicago's most famous ghost story—dating back some 85 years, and the subject of all manner of pop culture lore. 'The Ballad of Resurrection Mary' by Chicago artist Guy Gilbert, which dates back to 1977 and has an ominous psychedelic garage rock vibe, reportedly once a jukebox favorite at Chet's Melody Lounge across the road from the center of action for this story.
Reports of sightings of Resurrection Mary seemed to drop off in the 1990s, but they didn't stop. Author Lyn Gibson recounts a story from the early 2000s about a cabbie picking up a young woman in a white gown on a snowy day and hearing her say, 'The snow came early this year'—which may just be Cabbie Ralph's story from '79 with the wrong era attached to it. Or maybe more than one cab driver really has heard Resurrection Mary say, 'The snow came early this year.
