Bachelor's Grove Ghost
Picture Back to Photos of
Ghosts
Legend has it that Bachelor's
Grove Cemetery in Chicago, Illinois is
very haunted due to victims of murder having been dumped there by gangsters.
Founded in 1864, Bachelor's Grove is also famous for a ghost picture that was
taken there in August, 1991 by Jude Huff-Felz of the Ghost Research
Society.
The ghost photo from Bachelor's Grove
was said to be taken with Infrared film. The
ghostly image of a woman is in black and white, sitting on a checked monument.
Investigators claim she was not visible at the time the photograph was snapped.
The location in Bachelor's Grove of the stone in the picture is near the south
entrance. To date, no one else has captured this ghost lady of Bachelor's Grove
in photo or video. The woman and dress are believed to be somewhat
see-through. Her clothing seems more vintage than anything
recent.

Because this ghost photo appears all over the Internet today, we thought
we would take a closer look at the Bachelor's Grove ghost picture that has captivated so
many. Having a solid background of witnesses who were there, this ghost picture
has
stood the test of time to make it a part of pop culture.
Some have even dubbed the female, "The Madonna of Bachelors Grove."
We don't have the original to
examine, but those who do
say the feet seem to disappear into the grass and that they can see through
the body of the ghost woman. We are unable to do verify this from the photo
we acquired. The ghost picture looks very surreal, being a black and white Infrared
image. The heavenly-look, coupled with the minimal contrast of dark to light, might
make this person seem translucent -- ethereal.
Still, it's an incredible
ghost picture with a great
story...
