THIS EPISODE:
(1) Visiting the crypt of Donna Lepore of Downers Grove, Illinois. It was on June 7, 1985
that Donna's body was found by her husband in the bedroom of their Downers Grove home. She had been shot in the head. The crime occurred while her husband and their two children were out to dinner in the early evening. The front door was open, and no forced entry was evident.
Her murder remains unsolved.
(2) Searching and finding the unmarked grave of Mary Bregovy, AKA "Resurrection Mary". Mary is probably one of the most famous ghosts in Illinois, if not the United States. She haunts the Resurrection Cemetery in Justice, Illinois and is sometimes seen walking along the sidewalk of the Cemetery's Archer Avenue fence-line in and in other parts in that area.
Mary Bregovy was buried in her favorite orchid-colored dress and is believed to lie in an unmarked grave next to her parents Stefan (1885-1951) and Johanna Bregovy (1883-1945).
The Legend:
Mary Bregovy, a young Czech girl, was killed in a car accident in 1934 while going home from a dance at the O'Henry Ballroom, now the Willowbrook Ballroom (now completely torn down after a fire). Her ghost makes appearances all along the cemetery roads and at the Willowbrook Ballroom. She has been known to dance with men at the ballroom and ask them for a ride home only to disappear from their cars as they pass the cemetery. She been seen hitchhiking on the nearby roads by many creditable witnesses. A taxi cab driver saw a young girl walking one evening in 1979 and picked her up. The two of them were talking and driving but as the cab passed Resurrection Cemetery, the girl, (Mary), disappeared from the front seat of the cab.
_________________
Another person believed to be "Resurrection Mary" is Ona Norkus. But this is very unlikely because she was only 13 when she died. She wouldn’t have been dancing with older men and then asking to be driven home.
Another girl named Mary Miskowski could also be the ghost. She was a girl killed crossing the street on Halloween night 1930.
It is almost certain that Mary Bregovy was and is the ghost. She was the original woman named and is most likely Resurrection Mary. The others are add-ons and followers from other sectors of the area, from local people that all want to claim their‘s as her. Expect to see more of that.

The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
Some are famous.
And some infamous....
....and some with tragic endings.
