It's not as creepy and interesting as it was - now maintained and landscaped, grass cut weekly, no more wildflowers or vines. Some very rude tour companies have tours on many weekends and act like they own the place. Park across in Rubio Woods. The path to the cemetery is West of the big cell towers.

Its not open 24 hrs cops ticket u after sunset Ever changing portraits

Love this place and the trails around it. Love the people we find chasing ghosts and living it up. Always a good time.I

Great small and peaceful Cemetary! It’s a little spooky but being there in the sun and the quietness of the forest really brings out a great atmosphere. It’s pretty old and well worth to check out!

I went here back in '97 while the fence still sort of blocked your way in. It was a creepy feeling being there. I'm not sure if I was just kidding myself or if it had something to do with the paranormal activity that supposedly is there. I went back some years later and encountered a deer following me in the graveyard. The place itself is interesting alone because of the semi seclusion of it. Yes there is a loud road right next to it but you would never know that when you're in there. I wouldn't suggest that it's fun for the whole family but if you like spooky places or are just curious about the history of it all then this is the place for you.

Strange things happening at The Grove and that's a fact. One of my most favorite places to be.....👻

Well went in tonight to enjoy one of the many historical sites in the Illinois area. Drove all the way out there from the northside of Chicago, got to the parking lot across the street and when exiting our vechiles, were bombarded by the "Forest Preserve Security" telling us the lot was closed. Which was fine , I have no issues with following the forest preserve rules. What I do have an issue with is the rude and completely unprofessional way these "Security" personal spoke to my aunt. We were hit with "You need to leave!", "We ticket people like you!", and "Even if you had relatives dead in there, its pretty late to see them!". If you're half-assed security team new any type of respect for the dead , comments like that wouldn't have been made. Next time I'll watch an episode of Ghost Hunters and save my self the gas money.

This place is great if you need to hide a dead body

This place is definitely haunted. I went with a group of people who were attending a seminar about the history of bachelor's grove. While there, all of our charged phones died. When I got home, I saw a hooded dark figure in the corner. Very cool if.you would like to experience something, I wont be returning though. We were clearly unwelcomed.

The trail to the cemetery is def the creepiest part. It just FEELS like something is watching you. Theres not much to see but if you load yourself up with research before you go it makes it more interesting. Its a shame what they did in the 70s to it. Theres suppose to be near 100 bodies if not more buried there but youll only see about 30ish graves. Check out the infant daughters graves very cool. I can see it being terrifying at night but do NOT go there at night. They set up cameras by the entrance some years ago you will get caught.

Famous for being haunted. Rumors are Capone would have bodies tossed into the swamp. The cemetery belongs to some of the areas founding families. If you go, please be respectful and don't cause any further damage

So I went last night/this morning I got at this place about 130ish was looking for a spot to park then I'm like why is this spot in the forest you know like it's a cemetery we gotta walk threw the woods to get to it lol but anyways while I was walking to look for the trail I seen 5 deer's outside by the trees & while walking inside the woods seen a possum it Soo funny he looked at like dang they see me climb up this tree he was just stairing at us we were just laughing lol but we left him tho. So while I was walking three I seen a wheelchair in the creek😳which was scary & I took some pictures but idk how to send them on here but this place was very creepy but is it good to go on a full moon I haven't seen anything but I heard thing's. This was my first time here. I seen something flew fast by the flash light light o couldn't tell if it was a bat or a ghost 🦇 it flew quick but I got it at the light but not sure has anyone seen this to?

cleaned up a lot, pretty but far less creepy than i've heard and seen in pictures. some nice hiking nearby. short walk from Rubio Woods parking

So spooky I think we saw a black ghost dog way off in the distance staring at us. Both times I've been here have been creepy and oppressive. Feel like people are watching you even when no one is there.

Was talking to my son today about this cemetery, i grew up in crestwood, we would hang out in all the woods of the area during the 70s and 80s, bachelor's Grove was always a spot we would go to, my only super natural experience was one day we went there and the grave stones were in different spots, a very large one was moved across the cemetery, no track marks to signal a vehicle moving that massive stone, I doubt humans would/could move it by hand. A few days after we returned all the stones where back in their original spots even the giant one were back in there original spots. After 100s of hrs at the cemetery thats my only story of anything super natural. There was also a home foundation with an old Cadillac near the cemetery, I dug many of old bottles there True story

Bought a toy to give as a peace offering and to show my good intentions left it at the Infant Daughter grave of course and picked up some rubbish left behind, didn’t hear/see anything or anyone no old phantom cars or houses as expected but fun enough, I want to camp here overnight to have both experiences. The path leads to a picnic table in the middle of the woods nothing else wouldn’t even bother going further than gravesite and body of water.

Was taking pictures with my phone. When I was scrolling though the pics., there was one that was blacked out,with a small digital looking upper border. Hard to explain,but never had a problem with the phones pics. Before or after.( like something didn’t want me to take that pic.)👻

Bachelor's Grove Cemetery is a cemetery in Bremen Township, Cook County, Illinois, in Chicago's southwest suburbs, known for its alleged ghost sightings. The cemetery has also been called Bachelor Grove, Batchelor Grove, Batchelder's Grove, and Everden (or Everdon). Location Bachelors Grove Cemetery is just northwest of Midlothian and Oak Forest, near the Rubio Woods Forest Preserve on the Midlothian Turnpike (near its intersection with Central Avenue), in the southwest Chicago suburbs.[1][2] Background 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.[3] 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.[4] 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.[5] The site is often reported to have been a dumping ground for victims of Chicago's organized crime families of the 1920s and 1930s (including Al Capone), but no evidence of this has been proven.[5] The most common of the reported phenomena at the site typically involves floating orbs of light over tombstones and near collisions with a phantom vehicle.[

I got awesome pictures of ghosts

We went today. Place was peaceful, nothing creepy or haunting, but one interesting thing happened when we were driving to the place. No sound came from car stereo when playing a cd but voice from maps app (through car audio) was loud even after the volume was made to zero (never had any problem with my car audio before)...Tried few times but no luck but magically everything was working fine when we started back from the location.. Also, plz note that you have to park opposite (Rubio Woods parking lot) as there is no parking available for this place. From there you have to walk a bit, cross the road and get into a small trail... Thought of sharing as we were clueless on where to park when we visited the place today.

Neat history. Would love to see more defined walking trails.

PARANORMAL EXPERIENCE!!!! Me and my friends went around Midnight and stayed until 3 am and we did some weird ritual stuff and shortly after we experienced a scarely tall looking man running in the distance and some screeches after that also saw a little girl flying and ragging around her little doll by it's hair.

Do you know about the strange picture from 1991? On the picture was a white lady. I saw this picture in the internet... very spooky!

I went here with my sister about 3 years ago. It was sort of windy. we got up to The entrance of the cemetery and said maybe come And visit you for a While. The wind Stopped. We stayed for a little while and when we left We said thank you for letting us visit you All of a sudden the wind picked up again

It was the scariest experience of my life. We went around 11:30pm and we were walking through the cemetery, and we saw Michael Myers flashing his flashlight. He started playing the footwork version of Halloween so we were confused. I started footworking and he started walking towards me so I screamed and we all started running. I poshed too much before so I couldnt run that fast. If he got me, he got me. I was doomed. Overall, 10/10 experience at bachelors grove. I left my pink patterned sock at the popular gravestone. Rip All the victims of Al Capone.

If you’re looking for a scary spot in the middle of the woods, where you can search for spirits, visit Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery. It’s the most haunted cemetery in the world.

never been there... but, EVERYBODY STOP SAYING HOW COOL IT WAS AND PAY YOUR RESPECTS INSTEAD OF JUST LOOKING AND WALKING PAST!!!!

Park in parking lot by it you won’t get a ticket and don’t go by the lake . Touch the water and you’ll experience the worst day of your life

This book is set in Bachelors Grove! It's such a good book and actually pretty scary! The writing is also really good. Highly recommend it!!

Very popular and what a great place to have in Illinois, haunted sites are awesome. This place isn’t very scary but it does have a mysterious past.. place is quiet and small, but if you take your time and explore the place it’s really fun. Take some fun company with you. Take pictures and just make some cool memories.

Really cool place, lots of history, lots of mystery. Have been here several times, always finding something new.

I wish I saw more paranormal activity. But we did hear voices and get some glitching on our camera.

Interesting little cemetery tucked back in the woods across from the nature preserve park. Walk is pleasant aside from having to run across 4 lanes of traffic like a Frogger game. Old abandoned blacktop road leading to the cemetery is treeimed and presents with an eerie feeling. Old headstones are cool. Make shift shrine to an infant child with visitors leaving coins, trinkets, and small toys is cool but odd for people to have done. Pond behind the cemetery appears to be the run off spot for rains to avoid flooding. As for an hauntings or scariest anything in Illinois or America, well all I have to say is boo squat. Another myth filled cemetery of ghosts and spirits just like Aux Able in Minooka. Truth is they're old and small in size with BG being completely fenced in like someone's yard. But theres no anything other than a wasted trip to both. Nonsense and folklore but lazy internet bloggers and writers. Don't waste the time..

So if you follow Google maps to the location it will take you into the woods not the actual cemetery. So you need to park across from the two giant cellphone towers cross the street you see a path with a rope fence go pass it and follow the path to the end of the road . Cemetery is on your right and the lake just beyond the cemetery point . Across to the left is the entrance to the woods which are super creepy follow the orange paint on trees to get though the woods to the open fields you want to experience true terror

This place is great! Definitely bring the whole family along for this wholesome experience

Relaxing like the creek and the lake saw some ducks

Amazing place! Went there once, no paranormal activity though. Please respect the place it’s sad people tear graves down, after sunset you can get a ticket, probably best to go at night to try to see a ghost. (Go on a full moon night)

I've been to the Grove twice in my lifetime! Beware of spirits attaching themselves to you. Be very respectful of the dead as you enter and as you leave.

Definitely scary. Had orbs show up in pics and weird noises and RBI’s was during the day!

No proof at all and there's tons of these stories! No has video'd or recorded anything positive!I'm not a skeptic! I believe and seen things that would cause a person to almost have a heart attack! Ghost Hunters and Josh Baggans won't reply back to me. Charleston,il has a place that will prove there are real intities and ghost!

Extremely haunted cemetery would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to go out and get a real life experience and good footage just whatever you do sage yourself and whoever is with you to prevent any attachments I was scratched by something I could not physically see with my own eyes I seen it on video from my phone

Great place but heavily guarded by police. They're very strict about closing at sunset and cost $75 for being there after sunset. Ask me how I know lol Can go there throughout the day with no problems though. Not many graves though.

(Translated by Google) Traveling to Bashelors Grove (or Bachelor's Grove) Cemetery is very romantic. The cemetery is old and has not been used for its intended purpose for a long time, but it is very clean and good there, because it is quiet and calm. The mirror-like surface of the pond, reflecting the sky, is seen through the branches of the trees, and the noise of cars can be heard from the road, recalling the bustle of city life. I am grateful to God that I visited this lonely place. (Original) Путешествие на кладбище Башелорс Гров (или Роща Холостяков) очень романтично. Кладбище старое и его давно не используют по назначению, но там очень чисто и хорошо, потому что тихо и спокойно. Сквозь ветви деревьев просматривается зеркальная гладь пруда, отражающая небо, а с трассы доносится шум машин, напоминая о суете городской жизни. Я благодарна Богу, что побывала в этом одиноком месте.

i go often, i’ve been during the day and at night and have not seen anything. it’s beautiful and calming. a peaceful cemetery and even has a child’s grave. one of my favorite sesh spots too

I loved exploring this area!!! Very sad to see all the vandalism though...

I was just going for a walk in a forest preserve, and all of a sudden I found myself surrounded by gravestones. At that time there was no fence. I was surprised being in the middle of the graves, and I went back several times just to see them. I had no idea about Bacherol’s Grove Cemetery!

Loaded with spirits....

My family went here! It was so fun! I really recommend this! I went here and saw all the graves and I thought it was so cool ! I know that isn’t for everyone but I had a fun time :D and me and my dad went walking around to see what else is there and it was some lake and trail :0

Creepy

haunted graveyard

Very peaceful and quite beautiful in a bittersweet way. Apparently the cemetery is haunted, but I did not experience any activity of such sorts. The trails into the forest are very wild and it felt like a wonderful adventure.

Awesome!

I went to the cemetery around Halloween to pay my respects and the park wasn’t even closed yet but when I was walking down the path to the road, 6 police officers shined their lights into my eyes walked me to my car and gave me a 50$ parking ticket and said that I was “Trespassing” even though the park was going to close in a hour and a half.

Hi ppl

been there never went in tho

Very interesting place to visit

We where walking though the trail and my nose started bleeding randomly then we heard a bark

I went there, it was beautiful and quiet exsept the cars in the background, I didn't see. hear or feel anything though.
