I i just want to say thank you for letting me join the group .My name is Melissa Hall and I would like show you the picture I snapped at Bachelors Grove on September 21st 2008 .My friend Mary and I went to Bachelors Grove when we arrived no one was there just me and her so The first thing I do is start taking pictures as usual .And when I take pictures I make sure no one is around as always rule of thumb , I didn't notice nothing in my sony cybershot digital camera (kinda small screen ) until I got home and started looking over the pictures on my computer that's when my daughter noticed something blue in the background of this picture so I went to paint and enlarged the image low and behold this is what I got I almost fell off my chair .....I just wish I knew WHO she was and the story behind it .I have written the suntimes ,History channel and I have not heard anything back yet ..Thanks for reading and viewing my picture any comments are welcome .Melissa Hall

That's pretty awesome. Even if other people were there, it's pretty obvious it's not a person. It's translucent and there's nothing from the waist down. Thanks for sharing. :]

Holly crap, I think you caught the same apparition as in the other picture.  She's turned to the side in yours but it sure looks like it might be the same woman.  What are the odds of that?    Qu


Great picture!

Post by: SedateYourHate on Feb 25 2009 - 12:41PM
I think it is indeed quite the possibility that these are the same woman. Maybe not, but maybe. I think so because in a way, they're both rather clear pictures. It'd be pretty cool if some other people were also able to get a picture of her.

was just telling John about your ghost girl and i was browsing thru my pictures now your ghost gal pic is right by the Moss grave and to the right is a tree right next to the tree is a FENCE ..why on earth would a human lodge themselves in between a tree and a fence so my theroy would be that you did capture a spirit ..here is the picture i have to show you if you enlarge the picture you will see how the fence is real close to the tree were the gal in your pic was standing

My picture was taken on October 19th.  Ghost1, Marion76 and myself were all there the day you took your picture.  Were you with the group that came through?  By the light it looks like we were there around the same time :)

That picture is amazing and someone mentioned it is unedited so ... assuming the picture is genuine,  more proof Bachelor's Grove is indeed haunting. I want to go there myself so bad but I am all the way in Florida.
Anyone have an idea who the little ghost girl in the picture could be? Just curious. I know there is supposedly a ghost girl haunting the cemetery. Could be the same one in the picture. Excellent photo. =D>

I found this picture on another BG website. (http://bachelors-grove.com/ (http://bachelors-grove.com/)) This lady is buried in BG.  Not that it looks like the lady in Rachael's picture, but look at the clothing!!!!  Especially the blouse.  I think it makes her picture even more impressive. 


This is posted at the bottom of the picture:

This photograph only represents 3 of the 6 children that Hattie & Irving had together.
The photograph was captured around 1913.
Back row: Irving Adams Sr. & Hattie (Strutzenberg) Adams
Front row (left to right): Hattie Rachel Adams, Irving W. Adams Jr. & May Adams

That girl is way too pretty to just be a ghost.  At the risk of sounding like Bill Clinton, I'd date her.   :)

You know what I think this lady has a remarkable resemblance to Rachael's picture. The chubby cheeks and the round shoulders! I would say it is possible WOW!

Title: Re: Ghost Girl at Bachelors Grove - 9/21/08
Post by: Colleen2510 on May 17 2009 - 03:42PM
OK boys and girls, ghost and goblins.....once again I must call to attention my own fumble  emb  When I posted my post about the woman looking like Rachael's pic I had not even seen the original post in this thread. Therefore I had not seen the picture of the young girl in the grove facing away from the camera taken by Babylissa.  For some reason when I clicked on this thread it took me to the 2nd page and I assumed that I had already seen the picture being discussed. In addition I believed that the girl that Tommyboy was speaking of in the quote that I posted was the girl in the old photograph. That's who I believe looks like Rachael's picture of the spirit lady. The old photo is in black and white but her facial features are similar. The eyes look very much alike to me. A person can look very different in Black and White than they do in color. You can't even tell what that dress actually looks like in the black and white photo either. I personally don't see that much resemblance in Rachael's pic and Babylissa's pic. Other than they are both colorful and perhaps blond. Baylissa's girl looks a bit younger and thinner and we can't see her face but her hair looks very blond while Rachael's girl looks a bit chubby like the woman in the old timey photo and has a kind of wheat colored hair. Now if these were pics of living ppl I would personally say they more than likely are not the same person. But since they are visions of a spirit I would say that one could be the spirit feeling young and appearing as she did when she was a very young woman and the other (Rachael's) is the woman appearing as she did when she would be in her late 20's or early 30's. To me that's always a possibility with a spirit. I guess everything and anything are possibilities when dealing with spirit.

I have a tough enough time expressing myself to begin with and I'm finding it really gets difficult when I'm trying to explain a snaffoo (screw up)  emb I hope you guys can understand what I am saying here. If not I could explain..... :giggle2:

Title: Re: Ghost Girl at Bachelors Grove - 9/21/08
Post by: Rachael on May 31 2009 - 03:31PM
Hi Eric, Welcome to the forum, and thanks for posting!
As far as exploring other options:  What do you mean?  Do you mean sending it out to other forums/companies/whateva for analysis, or do you mean researching the possible correlation between Babylissa's pic and mine, as far as who she is?  I suppose either way the answer is no, although Babylissa may have submitted her picture elsewhere for analysis, she hasn't been on in awhile but maybe she'll come back sometime and let us no.  I consider sending my somewhere from time to time  (I honestly don't know where, that would take research if I decide to).  I probably will sooner or later but I harbor the hope that I'll be lucky enough to get another shot of her first :)

p.s.... I just emailed Melissa and asked her about her pic, I'm curious now :)
p.p.s... Ghost1 spoke with a woman at the grove today that hasn't seen these pictures yet but says she has a similar woman in a pic too!  So everyone cross yor fingers that she joins and shares it, because that would be sweet...super sweet!

Hi, and welcome to our site.....

Don't go at night, to dangerous.  Go in the daytime, it's still just as haunted and it's perfectly legal...all our best pic's and EVP's are from daytime.

Dangerous in what way(s)?

We tried going at night but didn't find the entrance... and didn't want to park too far.

Saw a bunch of police with bullet proof vests at the gas station as well.

Post by: Exzyle2k on Aug 25 2009 - 04:13PM
Those police you saw are the reason it's dangerous...

Being on any forest preserve district land is trespassing, and is definitely something you want to avoid. Fines can be anywhere between $50 to up to $1000 dollars, and you really don't want a charge of misdemeanor trespassing on your record.

Also, less than savory people tend to do their less than savory business in the grove during darker hours, and those types don't appreciate spectators or company. Mostly it's vandals, but occasionally you do run into those who have a different sort of faith.

Plus, common sense says forest + nighttime = bad idea unless you can see in the dark with FLIR-level capabilities.

Have their been murders there recently?

Post by: Exzyle2k on Aug 26 2009 - 10:35PM
There have been bodies found periodically in the area, however I don't think the murders actually happened there... It's always been a dumping ground for bodies, and current events shouldn't be any different than history.

However, that isn't an encouragement to start a trend, either... Just ask Ghost about the clearing about a quarter-mile down the trail from the Grove.

That is an amazing pic! I am diffidently skeptical of any paranormal stuff. I always try to look for a logical explanation and sometime I just can't find one. I have been going to Bachelors Grove for 34 years. My family used to take me their when I was a kid, I went as a teenager, and now I take my kids. One of the last times I was their I was out doing some Geocaching with my sister. We found the Geocache under one of the fallen trees and as we were going through it we heard kids laughing. We scrambled to put the Geocache away back under the tree and waited. The laughter disappeared, no kids showed up, no one was around. Me and my sister were left thinking we had just imagined the laughter. We both new we herd it so I decided to start snapping pics with my digital camera. As soon as we got back home, we started going through the pics. Below are two pics from two different angles. I am not any kind of camera expert, the pic looks cool, but I just assume its shadows that make it look like some kind of little girl doll.

Hi and welcome to our site.  They look like background things....bushes & trees.  However  If you can post the full sized unedited pictures I can enhance them a bit and look closer.

Thanks again for sharing with us!

The pictures are very captivating! My mind easily perceives the image of a young blonde woman standing in the tall vegetation. Its even more critical to my spirit because ive been to BA so many times i know just how the land lays, where all the graves are at and exactly where this is at in the cemetery..really interesting/borderlined "too-good-to-be-true"..especially the full aparition from the other post, in comparison, your both either in the same photoshop circle, or your endevors in this field were rewarded with some premium evidence.Its unfortunate we dont know who she is or her story...
