Jewish Waldheim Cemetery

Jewish Waldheim Cemetery, established in 1870 and home to over 250 sections representing Chicago-area Jewish families, synagogues, and organizations, carries its own local ghost story distinct from the famous Resurrection Mary legend tied to a different cemetery nearby. Visitors describe a "Flapper Girl" — a young woman with brunette hair, dressed in the style of the 1920s — seen near the cemetery gates, sometimes said to hitch rides toward the site of the old Melody Mill Ballroom down the street.
