In our first episode, we briefly explore the history, folklore and interesting residents of Bellefontaine and Calvary Cemeteries in St. Louis, MO.
The most notable ghost story tied to these cemeteries is Hitchhike Annie, and I break down my theory on where she came from. Additionally, I share the stories of some of the cemetery residents who may still have some reason to be restless... including Thomas Hart Benton and one of the founders of the Veiled Prophet Organization, St. Louis’s own mysterious secret society.
For more information on the ghost of Resurrection Mary in Chicago, I recommend checking out her episodes on the Astonishing Legends podcast. I found the book "Movers and Shakers Scalawags and Suffragettes: Tales from the Bellefontaine Cemetery" and articles from the St. Louis Post Dispatch and Globe Democrat to be particularly helpful in my research for this episode.
