Resurrection Cemetery just southwest of

Chicago in January of 1979 the cab
00:03:02
driver found himself on that road on
00:03:05
just such a night he was about to have
00:03:08
an extraordinary experience which a
00:03:10
number of Chicago cabbies claimed to
00:03:12
have had over the years

just over a mile ahead was Resurrection
00:03:37
Cemetery one of the largest in the
00:03:39
Midwest the final resting place of more
00:03:42
than 150 thousand souls stop here stop
00:03:48
here the cabby parked across from the
00:03:51
cemeteries front gate
00:03:57
the mysterious passenger had vanished
00:03:59
without so much as a door slam the
00:04:02
unwitting cab driver had just met
00:04:04
Chicago's most famous ghost Resurrection
00:04:07
Mary I think that of all the ghost
00:04:11
stories worth believing in
00:04:12
Resurrection Mary is the one with the
00:04:15
best documentation the witnesses that I
00:04:18
found a remarkably level-headed and
00:04:20
they're primarily blue collar middle
00:04:22
class types who have steady jobs and who
00:04:26
have no other major claims to psychic
00:04:29
encounters in their life according to
00:04:32
Richard Crowe the earliest account of
00:04:34
Resurrection Mary came from a man named
00:04:36
Jerry paleis who died in 1992 in 1986
00:04:41
when he was 72 Jerry described his
00:04:44
encounter in a videotaped interview
00:04:45
experience because when I met her at the
00:04:50
dance hall I will watch that
00:04:57
the year was 1939 on most nights throngs
00:05:01
of young people filled Chicago's dance
00:05:03
halls one of the regulars was Jerry
00:05:06
penis who considered himself something
00:05:08
of a ladies man
00:05:11
hey you know that girl over there I'm
00:05:17
gonna ask her to dance
00:05:21
Jerry described the woman as being blond
00:05:23
about five foot seven
00:05:25
her hair was about shoulder length and
00:05:27
she had curls along either side of her
00:05:29
head she was wearing an old-fashioned
00:05:31
where I should say a very fancy type
00:05:34
party dress of the period old-fashioned
00:05:36
to today's terms its Mary isn't it
00:05:41
that's a pretty name Jerry dos semanas
00:05:46
de with a quiet captivating young woman
00:05:48
I couldn't help noticing somebody as
00:05:50
pretty as you
00:05:51
he learned little about her except that
00:05:53
her name was Mary and she lived on the
00:05:55
south side of town where south Damon

00:07:07
Resurrection Cemetery
00:07:16
[Music]
00:07:17
just please just wait right here
00:07:21
[Music]
00:07:31
Jiri claimed that the young woman
00:07:33
vanished right before his eyes Jerry
00:07:37
admitted he was perplexed but certainly
00:07:39
willing to forgive one unexplained
00:07:41
disappearance the very next day he went
00:07:45
out to Damon Avenue where Mary had said
00:07:48
she lived
00:07:49
Jerry found the house with little
00:07:51
trouble but before he could even knock
00:07:53
front doors were open yes can I help you
00:07:56
excuse me I don't mean to disturb you
00:07:59
but I'm looking for a young woman named
00:08:01
Mary I was told she lives here you must
00:08:04
be mistaken there's no one here by that
00:08:07
name
00:08:08
wait that's the woman I'm looking for in
00:08:10
that picture no that's not possible
00:08:14
that girl is my daughter and she has
00:08:17
been dead for five years I danced with
00:08:21
that girl last night miss van jury said
00:08:24
that he understood why the woman he was
00:08:26
dancing with that night was ice cold to
00:08:27
the touch he had worked in a funeral
00:08:29
home for a while it was the touch of a
00:08:31
corpse
00:08:35
the revelation naturally coo jerry's
00:08:37
romantic interest in the mysterious
00:08:39
beauty years later richard crow learned
00:08:43
the ghost was believed to be the
00:08:45
restless spirit of a young woman named
00:08:46
Mary Bragg ovie Mary had been killed in
00:08:49
a traffic accident one Saturday night in
00:08:52
1934 a month before her 21st birthday
00:08:56
around Chicago folks like to believe
00:08:59
Mary had just left the dancehall when
00:09:01
she died she was laid to rest in
00:09:03
Resurrection Cemetery they say in her
00:09:06
favorite gown over the years the
00:09:11
bewitching spirit has been seen time and
00:09:13
time again at dance clubs in taxis is
00:09:17
simply strolling outside the cemetery
00:09:19
looking as the legend goes for someone
00:09:22
to take her home I really didn't think
00:09:26
there was any ghosts you hear these
00:09:30
stories and these old gulls tales but
00:09:32
it's never happened to me but now I must
00:09:37
say I think I'm changing my mind
00:09:40
in 1980 Claire rude Niki her husband
00:09:44
Marc and two friends were driving on
00:09:46
Archer Avenue along the front of
00:09:48
Resurrection Cemetery I was just looking
00:09:52
out the windows we were going down the
00:09:53
streets and on the right-hand side of
00:09:56
the road there was a girl walking
00:09:59
[Music]
00:10:00
she was bright very bright like
00:10:03
illuminating she was just walking very
00:10:06
slow I remember thinking oh my god it's
00:10:12
Resurrection Mary and I can fill my
00:10:15
stomach starting to turn let's go back
00:10:18
know that it was very frightened to have
00:10:21
to admit that did scare me let's go
00:10:23
let's go back on the other hand Claire's
00:10:26
husband Mark was ready to swing around
00:10:28
for another look no one could have
00:10:31
pulled a prank like that because she was
00:10:35
so bright and illuminated and there was
00:10:38
no light source from which that light
00:10:40
could have come she was just a bright
00:10:41
object a glowing figure on the side of
00:10:45
the road
00:10:46
when we were coming up behind her I
00:10:48
looked at her from behind on the side
00:10:50
and when I driven past her and all the
00:10:52
time I was looking at her face and there
00:10:54
was like a black void there was really
00:10:56
nothing there there was no facial
00:10:58
features
00:11:00
[Music]
00:11:03
we all want casted turned around and
00:11:05
came back and by the time we gotten back
00:11:07
to where we had originally seen her and
00:11:08
it gone vanished she was all in white
00:11:13
and her hair and the dress were were
00:11:17
flowing back it was like a stream
00:11:19
backwards you know away from her and I
00:11:22
just saw this profile of a young woman
00:11:24
so what time are you leaving tomorrow
00:11:27
around 7:00
00:11:28
in October of 1989 Janet : and a friend
00:11:31
set out for an evening Drive after about
00:11:34
an hour they found themselves at
00:11:36
Resurrection Cemetery
00:11:40
[Music]
00:11:47
has no impact there was no no bump to
00:11:51
say that you know I had hit something
00:11:53
but I know she ran out
00:11:56
the young woman ran out in front of my
00:11:58
car and I hit her just calm down
00:12:02
everything's gonna be yet nothing no
00:12:06
impact no sound nothing
00:12:11
my dad had told me the story about
00:12:13
Resurrection Mary before because he had
00:12:15
read it in the newspaper back in 1939
00:12:18
but I never thought that I would be
00:12:20
party to it that I would see it myself
00:12:22
or that I would be with a friend who
00:12:25
would have seen her you can pick apart
00:12:29
individual ghost stories but when you
00:12:31
come up with a story like resurrection
00:12:33
Mary where we have dozens of reports
00:12:35
spanning decades I think you've got to
00:12:37
go a long way to try and undermine all
00:12:40
that massive documentation I like to
00:12:43
drive past the cemetery to see if I can
00:12:44
see her again I never want to see her
00:12:48
again it's so fresh in my mind still it
00:12:53
still scares me
00:12:57
I didn't believe in ghosts until I saw
00:12:59
and the way I know it was really a ghost
00:13:02
is you just know
00:13:04
[Music]
00:13:09
does the ghost to marry Bravo V still
00:13:11
haunts Chicago late at night or his
00:13:15
resurrection marries simply a
00:13:17
time-honored urban myth in any case
00:13:21
should you find yourself driving in the
00:13:23
city late one night and you spot a
00:13:26
wistful young woman and a flowing gown
00:13:28
you might think twice about offering her
00:13:31
a ride tonight we have an update which
00:13:43
is one of our most touching and poignant
00:13:45
it concerns a woman searching for two
00:13:47
men two complete strangers she never
00:13:49
even talked to but during one fateful
00:13:52
encounter in 1978 they saved her life
00:13:55
she has been searching for them ever
00:13:57
since simply to say thank you welcome to
00:14:05
our class
00:14:05
Colleen Fran Joanie who was paralyzed
00:14:08
from the waist down more than 15 years
00:14:10
ago in a horrible automobile accident
00:14:12
since then she has spoken to thousands
00:14:15
of high-school students urging them to
00:14:17
wear seat belts buckle up I didn't it's
00:14:20
my slogan every time Colleen speaks in a
00:14:22
classroom she relives the night of
00:14:25
September 23rd 1978
00:14:28
[Music]
00:14:34
[Music]
00:14:41
the hit of that second car just twisted
00:14:45
me beyond the normal range and that
00:14:48
twist was so forceful that it broke two
00:14:50
lower vertebrae and severed my spinal
00:14:52
cord and and and I'm glad I don't
00:14:57
remember in the midst of the chaos two
00:15:01
bystanders pulled Colleen from the
00:15:03
burning wreckage however both men
00:15:05
disappeared before anyone could get
00:15:07
their names Colleen has never stopped
00:15:10
looking for them when colleagues appeal
00:15:14
err luck was with her
00:15:16
both men called our phone center their
00:15:19
names are ray Myers and Mike cane though
00:15:21
they both live in the Providence Rhode
00:15:23
Island area they had seen each other
00:15:25
only once in the aftermath of Colleen's
00:15:27
accident Colleen was thrilled to learn
00:15:30
that her rescuers had been found after
00:15:32
more than 15 years
00:15:34
what on some mysteries did was the tip
00:15:36
lady called me told me you know that she
00:15:39
had heard from one of them and gave me
00:15:41
his number because of course they didn't
00:15:43
want to give out my number so I called
00:15:46
him I said who I was and and it was just
00:15:48
so nice in fact we talked so long that
00:15:50
night my husband fell asleep we were in
00:15:52
bed and my husband fell sound asleep
00:15:54
while him and I were just talking about
00:15:56
you know he was telling me things that I
00:15:58
had no idea on December 27th 1993
00:16:03
Colleen finally was able to meet her
00:16:05
heroes in person ray Myers was the first
00:16:08
to arrive
00:16:10
I was in shock I couldn't believe it was
00:16:28
me you know I mean I knew it was me but
00:16:30
it's like it's incredible that's how I
00:16:34
feel about this whole thing I did get
00:16:35
some family
00:16:37
[Music]
00:16:38
half an hour later it was Mike canes
00:16:41
turn
00:16:42
[Music]
00:16:50
you know I tried to imagine what you'd
00:16:52
look like and I can't do that when I
00:16:54
don't understand no surprise you know
00:16:57
why 15 years later why why you know why
00:17:03
but when she said she wanted to thank
00:17:06
the people after I spoke to her on the
00:17:08
phone it was like this lady is really
00:17:10
sincere you know and that's what she
00:17:13
wanted she want to thank us I feel the
00:17:18
whole circle it's all completed all the
00:17:21
pieces of the puzzle are all put
00:17:24
together now and it's a real peaceful
00:17:27
feeling inside that's to me and in fact
00:17:32
how many times have I said in the last
00:17:33
weeks how many people get to meet their
00:17:36
guardian angels and this is how I feel
00:17:39
[Music]
00:17:42
next a young woman disappears in the
00:17:45
wake of a near-fatal motorcycle accident
00:17:47
[Music]
00:17:55
these days most of us have resigned to
00:17:58
keeping in touch with friends and family
00:18:00
by telephone the calls are usually a
00:18:03
source of comfort and pleasure but for
00:18:05
one California mother a phone call from
00:18:08
a 28 year old daughter began a nightmare
00:18:10
which is yet to end as a rule we do not
00:18:13
our stories about grown children who
00:18:15
choose to separate from their family and
00:18:16
friends but the case of Selina Eden is
00:18:19
special when she graduated from high
00:18:24
school in 1980 Selena was everything a
00:18:27
parent could ask for she was president
00:18:30
of the student body of the senior class
00:18:32
but Selena had always marched to her own
00:18:35
drummer she dropped out of college to
00:18:37
join the airforce then after a stint
00:18:40
Selena became a journeyman construction
00:18:42
worker in San Francisco she joined the
00:18:44
Teamsters a bought herself a motorcycle
00:18:49
she was humorous she was also quite
00:18:52
daring she was the kind of childlike
00:18:54
save as' things that you wanted to do
00:18:56
that you know in life this was the child
00:18:59
that kind of did it was that daring
00:19:03
on November 29th 1989 Selena was on her
00:19:07
way home from the Union Hall in downtown
00:19:09
San Francisco when tragedy struck
00:19:17
[Music]
00:19:31
after the accident she was in a coma for
00:19:33
six weeks and she had some brain damage
00:19:37
she had a long way to go Selena was
00:19:41
admitted to the hospital as a Jane Doe
00:19:43
Bridey papers had disappeared in the
00:19:46
aftermath of the accident and seven days
00:19:48
passed before her mother and brother
00:19:50
were tracked down in San Diego
00:19:52
Selena baby look who's here beyond he
00:19:58
came with me today hi dear hi baby how
00:20:02
you feel okay baby and good to you she
00:20:07
had lost a lot of her memories so it
00:20:09
really kind of took away her personality
00:20:13
she appeared to be like a child again
00:20:17
like she didn't know too much anymore
00:20:19
you know she just you know like like a
00:20:22
child
00:20:25
Selina's left I had been permanently
00:20:27
damaged she suffered painful headaches
00:20:30
her left thigh was crushed and a severe
00:20:32
head injury caused fluid to build up
00:20:34
around her brain nevertheless Selena
00:20:37
dove into an exhausting regimen of
00:20:39
physical therapy Selena was the type of
00:20:43
patient they had to slow up she wanted
00:20:46
to do everything on her if she wanted to
00:20:48
walk before she could walk it was just
00:20:50
that she was like rushing everything she
00:20:53
challenged herself to the max and it was
00:20:55
like a lot of things that she just
00:20:57
couldn't do and I guess she just wasn't
00:20:59
ready to accept the fact that she wasn't
00:21:00
well yet two months after the accident
00:21:05
Selena's brother brought her home to San
00:21:07
Diego Selena planned to live with her
00:21:10
mother and niece and continued physical
00:21:12
therapy on an outpatient basis doing
00:21:23
good
00:21:29
you know when she was living like me she
00:21:32
started having more like confused
00:21:33
episode being the mother I could see it
00:21:36
and medical people you know really
00:21:40
couldn't see it the way I coul there was
00:21:47
a lot of changes I feel that sometimes
00:21:50
she had her days that she could be quite
00:21:52
mean and then that was the days I would
00:21:55
notice that she was having a lot of
00:21:59
headaches so we'll do that
00:22:07
so the headaches gave way to general
00:22:09
confusion physically Selina was getting
00:22:12
better but mentally she was worse baby
00:22:18
was that I was talking to I don't know
00:22:22
who you were talking to did you forget
00:22:24
yes things like that would upset her
00:22:29
that's when I noticed her frustration
00:22:31
more and more and she felt like more and
00:22:35
more she wanted to be on her own but the
00:22:38
more she pushed it the more confused she
00:22:41
was becoming with her recovery stalled
00:22:45
Selena decided to return to San
00:22:47
Francisco in May of 1990 she hoped that
00:22:50
the familiar surroundings would help her
00:22:54
yeah
00:23:00
anyways yeah yes who is she she's your
00:23:07
friend Selena she's very happy to be in
00:23:09
San Francisco and to be around her
00:23:11
friends but you know she didn't appear
00:23:13
healthy enough to be on her own okay
00:23:16
she was very unaware of a lot of things
00:23:19
I think she definitely needed somebody
00:23:21
to be with her you know to help her
00:23:26
despite her erratic behavior Selena had
00:23:29
been in the habit of calling her mother
00:23:30
regularly finally in October of 1990
00:23:35
nearly 1 year after the accident
00:23:37
Clarissa Eaton received a phone call she
00:23:40
would never forget Selena
00:23:51
she was evasive Whitney and that wasn't
00:23:54
like her she don't tell me everything he
00:23:56
didn't know I said something of what you
00:23:59
need to do we need to come back home and
00:24:01
she said well don't worry if you don't
00:24:03
hear from me in a month or two Selena
00:24:05
you should come back home and then she
00:24:09
said I'll be calling you soon and hung
00:24:12
up and that's the last I've heard her
00:24:13
folks only know the last time I heard
00:24:18
anything of Selena she was leaving for
00:24:21
somewhere in the Midwest and I can't
00:24:23
remember where with some woman who she
00:24:26
had just met and I got the impression
00:24:28
that she probably didn't know much more
00:24:31
about the woman than I did and I didn't
00:24:33
even know the person I had no idea who
00:24:34
it was and I couldn't get a last name
00:24:36
from her and it was just kind of a
00:24:40
haphazard plan there was no plan it's
00:24:42
like I'm going Selena's family hired a
00:24:46
private investigator to search for her
00:24:49
even after she told her mother she was
00:24:51
leaving town Selena was sighted in San
00:24:54
Francisco's tenderloin district some
00:24:57
people said they saw her around here
00:24:58
when were she here a few weeks back the
00:25:04
investigator followed up on all the
00:25:06
leads but it turned out to be a
00:25:07
fruitless search she do see her would
00:25:10
you give me a call yeah sure
00:25:12
Thanks you know I just hope she's out
00:25:15
there probably you know just living her
00:25:17
life and for what reason she didn't call
00:25:19
us maybe it's just because she forgot us
00:25:20
maybe she just don't remember you know
00:25:23
hopefully it's one of those stories and
00:25:25
hopefully you know we can find it you
00:25:27
know I want to see my daughter again
00:25:30
that's my baby I love her like I love
00:25:34
all my children and I want her back with
00:25:37
us I want her to try to call her someone
00:25:42
called for it she's unable to come and
00:25:45
let us know where she is
00:25:47
and now she is all new year's eve of
00:25:52
1991 a year after Selena had disappeared
00:25:55
she left a garbled message on her friend
00:25:58
Laurie Gallagher's answering machine it
00:26:00
was the last time any of Selena's
00:26:02
friends or family heard her voice since
00:26:05
then a lawsuit has been filed in
00:26:06
Selena's name regarding the accident
00:26:08
however the action cannot proceed until
00:26:11
Selena's found
00:26:14
selina marie eaton is 31 years old and
00:26:17
stares five feet six inches tall at the
00:26:20
time of her disappearance she weighed
00:26:22
125 pounds she has a pronounced
00:26:25
stiffness in her left leg which causes
00:26:27
her to live in a moment a daring seven
00:26:34
million dollar heist funds a bold and
00:26:37
international terrorism it's hard to
00:26:47
imagine what 7 million dollars in cash
00:26:49
would look like but 1983 one man managed
00:26:54
to steal at astounding Sun
00:26:56
single-handedly he wrestled 50 heavy
00:26:59
bags of currency out of a vault loaded
00:27:01
them into a getaway car and vanished the
00:27:04
daring robbery still stands as one of
00:27:07
the greatest heists in United States
00:27:08
history the key figure in the holdup was
00:27:13
a brazen 25 year old armored car guard
00:27:15
named Victor Manuel hey Dana at the time
00:27:18
of the robbery
00:27:19
Dana was a trusted employee at the West
00:27:22
Hartford Connecticut office of the Wells
00:27:24
Fargo Express company
00:27:25
[Music]
00:27:28
what's up Vic
00:27:30
September 12th 1983 Elena's arrival at
00:27:33
work that day was unremarkable except
00:27:36
for the one special request he made of
00:27:38
his supervisor excuse me Joe I need to
00:27:43
ask a big favor is there anywhere to
00:27:45
park my car over here at Bay five I
00:27:46
wouldn't really appreciate it what's
00:27:48
wrong with your car it's not mine it's a
00:27:50
friend of Mines I hate to see something
00:27:52
happen to it you know how it is outside
00:27:54
you know I'm really not supposed to be
00:27:56
doing this I'll let you do it this one
00:27:58
time just don't take advantage of me
00:28:00
Victor Thanks appreciate it okay
00:28:09
the vehicle that Victor was driving that
00:28:11
day was a 1973 Buick LeSabre which was a
00:28:15
full-size big car capable of carrying a
00:28:18
large load whatever that may be that day
00:28:23
Edea and his partner made all their
00:28:25
scheduled rounds collecting more than
00:28:27
three million dollars in currency from
00:28:29
local banks and businesses the Wells
00:28:31
Fargo vaults already held more than four
00:28:34
million dollars Tim I'm gonna check in
00:28:36
the guns thanks by 9 p.m.
00:28:46
Dana his partner in the supervisor were
00:28:48
alone in the armored car terminal more
00:28:51
than seven million dollars in cash
00:28:58
[Music]
00:29:01
listen I'll kill you I swear
00:29:15
handcuff it his supervisors arms behind
00:29:18
his back and also taped up their mouths
00:29:21
in used duct tape to take their feet and
00:29:24
find them so they couldn't move any good
00:29:28
jackets over both the head so they would
00:29:29
not be able to see what was going on
00:29:33
okay guys this intention it's just gonna
00:29:35
put you to sleep now authorities never
00:29:39
determine what the syringe contained but
00:29:41
it did not put the gars to sleep hidden
00:29:46
I began to move the $7,000,000 bag by
00:29:49
bag
00:29:50
[Music]
00:29:51
it took the better part of an hour and a
00:29:53
half to load his car with about 1,000
00:29:56
pounds of cash roughly half a ton in
00:29:58
marked and unmarked bills
00:30:02
[Music]
00:30:07
after the car was loaded we believe that
00:30:10
he sent a signal to someone on the
00:30:11
outside that was helping him he honked
00:30:14
the horn and opened the bay door to the
00:30:16
terminal it's believed that at that
00:30:18
point someone else came into the
00:30:20
terminal and drove his car out of the
00:30:22
terminal with the money inside the car
00:30:27
with the guards at this point I'm sure
00:30:29
were very upset and even more so when
00:30:32
they when they heard a shotgun being
00:30:33
loaded which is a very distinctive sound
00:30:41
however head in I left the building
00:30:43
without harming the guards they soon
00:30:45
worked themselves free and called the
00:30:47
police
00:30:50
eighteen hours later hey Dana's car was
00:30:53
found abandoned about eight miles from
00:30:55
the Wells Fargo terminal Victor hey Dana
00:30:57
had vanished along with every last cent
00:31:00
of the stolen money investigators soon
00:31:05
discovered that the daring theft was far
00:31:07
more than a one-man operation it had
00:31:10
been masterminded by a Puerto Rican
00:31:11
terrorist group that counted Victor
00:31:13
harina among his members the group
00:31:15
called themselves los Marcia Tarot's
00:31:17
literally the machete wielders and they
00:31:20
were fighting for nothing less than the
00:31:22
independence of Puerto Rico the island
00:31:26
of Puerto Rico was ceded to the United
00:31:27
States by Spain in 1898 eventually some
00:31:31
Puerto Rican groups began to agitate for
00:31:34
a complete break with the United States
00:31:36
at times they turned to violence in 1952
00:31:42
Puerto Rican terrorists attempted to
00:31:44
assassinate then President Harry Truman
00:31:46
the failed attack left one White House
00:31:49
guard dead and two injured more than 30
00:31:53
years later lost Marsha Tarot's
00:31:55
attempted to strike another blow flush
00:31:58
with millions from the robbery the group
00:32:00
purchased a surface-to-air missile
00:32:02
apparently from a black market arms
00:32:04
dealer on October 30th 1983 they
00:32:08
launched it at the FBI headquarters in
00:32:10
San Juan Puerto Rico however little
00:32:14
damage was done and some of hiddenness
00:32:16
co-conspirators were quickly arrested
00:32:18
Victor hid in I eluded capture and he
00:32:21
was soon elevated to the FBI's ten most
00:32:23
wanted list Victor Manuel head Ana is
00:32:27
now 35 years old he has brown hair
00:32:31
striking green eyes and when last seen
00:32:33
weight around 165 pounds
00:32:35
he stands five feet six inches tall
00:32:38
authorities believe he Dana has been
00:32:40
hiding out in Cuba but may soon return
00:32:42
to the United States Victor hey Dana
00:32:45
should be considered armed and dangerous
00:32:50

took him under their wing they had six
00:33:41
children their oldest son was stationed
00:33:44
in Vietnam mrs. Gautier was thinking
00:33:52
about her son being a foreigner in
00:33:54
Vietnam in the same situation as my
00:33:57
friends and I were here in America
00:34:00

00:34:03
weekends so that we feel comfortable
00:34:06
just like we were in their own country
00:34:09
[Music]
