There are no road signs that point the way to Bachelor's Grove Cemetery, which is quietly nestled in the Rubio Woods Forest Preserve. There is only a small dirt path that winds its way through the forest, eventually stopping in front of what many believe is one of the nation's most haunted cemeteries.

The resting place of about 150 people, Bachelor's Grove cemetery is just one acre in size and is named for the unusually large number of single men buried there. The first burial was in 1844 and the last (an interment of ashes) was in 1989. The last recorded body buried there was in 1965.
