Daywalkers Paranormal returns to Bachelor's Grove cemetery to continue our investigation of this haunted location.
Unfortunately, once again the location was a hotbed of visitors while we were there.
We experienced a dope dealer, Cosplayers, other paranormal investigators and those who were just curious about the location and history.
Sadly, this location is slowly vanishing due to vandalism. People are knocking the headstones down, Throwing the stones into the quarry pond or stealing them. There are 80+ burials at Bachelor's Grove and maybe 20 headstones survive.
About the location's history: The land surrounding Bachelors Grove Cemetery was originally settled by English homesteaders who relocated to the area from New England, including Stephen Rexford, arguably the most well known of the first wave of Anglo settlers, around 1833. Ursula Bielski, author of "Chicago Haunts," asserts the actual cemetery was originally named the Everdon Cemetery after the original holder of the property title, Samuel Everdon. The site saw its first official burials around 1840 and contains 82 plots, many of which were never sold or used. Burials, however, possibly go back as far as 1834, when German immigrant workers killed while working on the Illinois and Michigan Canal were reportedly laid to rest at the site. The site is often reported to have been a dumping ground for victims of Chicago's organized crime families of the 1920s and 1930s, but no evidence of this has been proven.
