Resurrection Cemetery
In the 1940s, a young lady lived across the street from the cemetery. After becoming infected with tuberculosis, the girl died and was buried in a white party gown. It is said that on dark nights, one may see a bright, illuminating figure of a young girl walking along the side of the road. It is said that if one stops, she will ask him for a ride home because she is lost. Once they get past the cemetery�s property line, however, the girl disappears.

Hi i know this has nothing to do with baker mansion but… You see i live in pennslyvannia and there is no haunted places around me that i know but when i was little my parents went out to see a horror movie and i was asleep and new nothing about them going. I remeber seeing a little girl in a white dress sitting on the edge of my bed and asking me odd questions …. which i cant remeber. Something she did just made me scream (i dont remeber what exacly) I woke my mom up from screaming so load (they where back from the movies now)and it freaked her out because she saw a movie with a little girl. when i went back to sleep i saw her again and she asked me why i did that. i answerd “i dont know i was scared” she said not to be scared and walked through my door and went away. I’m 12 now and it still gives me chills.

Sounds a little like the tale Of Ressurection Mary, who is actually in Illinois At *that* Resurrection Cemetary. (Which was on unlsolved mysteries). Except she was killed in a car accident, and it was before 1940.

I grew up in Nottingham Park Illinois, which is right next to Bridgeview, only about a mile from Ressuraction Cemetary! When I was 19, I was driving home from work at about 11:30 pm, driving past the cemetary. I was driving down the road, and all of a sudden, a lady in all white jumped out on front of me! I got out of my car to check the damage, and there was none, and I looked back to see if she was behind me hurt, and no-one was there! I went home to inspect my car a little better and there were no dents or scratches anywhere on my car, but there was a piece of white lace hanging under my front bumper! So the next day, I drove down the same stretch of road to see if anything had happened, and there was no sign of anyone being hit! Was it Mary? That question has been haunting me since it happened, now both of my parents are buried at Bethania cemetary right next to Ressurection cemetary!

Terry and Anna are both correct. Ressurection Cemetary is in Chicago, Illinois, being born and raised an hour north I have heard all of these stories all of my life,,and my mother was a personal friend of Richard Crow, who did the ghost tours in Chicago. These stories are very true and to those who do not believe,,,you need to open you mind.

There is indeed a Resurrection Cemetary in PA – not in Allentown nor Trexlertown, but in Wescosville which is right between the two. It’s located on the old Krocks Road (not the new one where the bypass is)right off of Route 222. I grew up in this area and have driven past there many times, I’ve never seen anything though I have heard the stories.
Why is such a difficult concept that there is more than one Resurrection Cemetary in the US? It’s a common name for a cemetary. And whether these are urban legends or actual hauntings – why couldn’t it happen in or be linked to both the PA one, the IL one, or any of the others anywhere in the US?

Did it ever occur to anyone that there might actually be more than one Ressurection Cemetary…..It is a big country after all and seems that would be a fitting name for any cememtary. Just curious. I know the story of Ressurection Mary from Illinois, and I know some one who lived there and has seen her.

I seem to recall this taking place near Chi-town and hearing a similar story that takes place in CA (I’m thinking San-something… Diego, Francisco…?) But really, doesn’t every town have an urban legend similar to this? The people who think this story is specific and unique to Trexlertown are probably still trying to find out what really happened to Mikey and hoping they won’t wake up in a tub full of ice with a missing kidney. Have a Happy and Haunted Halloween everyone. And remember – don’t mix your Pop Rocks with Coca-Cola!

I live right by this cemetary in allentown. This place does exist and it is called RESSURECTION CEMETARY. I’ve heard stories about it, but I was never there….yet.
