Resurrection Mary

My friend Ed Wagner recently helped me remember my favorite urban legend: Resurrection Mary, from my old stomping grounds on the south side of Chicago.

Here's a good writeup of the story of Resurrection Mary. There are several versions of her story, just like all urban legends. I heard more than one growing up as a good. Wonderful stuff, though, and as a bonus, that page has plenty of links to related legends.

By the way, yes, I've been by that graveyard and seen those bars.
