Just beyond the graveyard is a small solemn pond. In earlier years, the pond was supposedly a favorite dumping ground for the bodies and cars of unfortunate individuals who ran into infamous Chicago gangsters. Reports of bodies floating in the pond and phantom headlights beneath the surface of the dark water are numerous. In fact, in one story, a couple was driving down the lane in late evening and heard the sound of a loud speeding car getting closer and closer. They stopped their car. To their horror, they found themselves in a head-on collision with the speeding car. Horrific sounds of bending metal and breaking glass could be piercingly heard. After a few minutes of recovering from their shock, and to their amazement, they realized that they were alone on the road; there was no other car. They were both fine and their car was untouched. What an ironic story (Bachelor's grove).
Formerly known as the one of the most haunted houses in America, the home of carpetbagger Charles Wright Conglier, his Mexican wife Lyda, and a young servant girl, Essie, was located in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. The story begins in the winter of 1871, with Lyda's discovery of Charles" affair with the maid. Lyda was so mad that she fatally stabbed Charles and chopped off Essie's head. .
For the next 20 years, the house remained vacant. Railroad workers lived there in 1892, but they quickly moved out, claiming to hear the sobbing of a screaming woman. Around 1900, Dr. Adolph C. Brunrichter bought the home. According to his neighbors, Dr. Brunrichter rarely came outside. One day in August of 1901, the family next door heard a terrifying scream from his residence. When they ran outside to investigate, the neighbors saw a red explosive flash shooting through the house. The earth trembled and every window of the doctor's house was shattered. When officials entered the house to investigate, they found a decomposed female body strapped to the bed and five other headless young women in the basement.
