Justice lays claim to one of the most well-known ghost stories in America - that of Resurrection Mary. This story, whether true or not, has captured the imagination on par with the Amityville and the Lizzie Borden cases. It has featured and inspired a number of songs, books and media adaptations, and is a notable hitchhiker motif.

The account goes that at some point in the 1920's or 1930's, a young blue-eyed, blonde-haired woman died in a car accident as she made her way home from a local dance venue, the "Oh Henry Ballroom". Accounts vary as to whether she was inside a car that crashed or was the victim of a hit-and-run. She was ultimately laid to rest at Resurrection Cemetery, and since that time there have been claims that she know returns in spectral form.

Those claims state that a woman fitting the above description gets picked up on the side of a local road, and will be driven a distance only to disappear at Resurrection Cemetery or her ghost will step into the path of their on-coming vehicle, resulting in the distressed driver to find no sign of a victim. Others have claime to have seen her wandering the cemetery after dark.

There have been a number of attempts to identify this apparition, but these are open to debate. According to sources, the best time for sightings is around 1:30am on nights when it has been raining or snowing in the months between October and December.
