Probably the most famous "driving at night ghost story" is Resurrection Mary. The first reported sighting of Resurrection Mary was in the 1930s along Archer Avenue in Chicago, Illinois where a motorist reported seeing a young woman dressed in white. Later, there were reports of a young woman dressed in white standing in front of the gates of Resurrection Cemetery. Witnesses claimed she'd attempted to catch a ride by jumping onto the car running board.
As time went on, Mary was sighted at greater distances from the cemetery. There were several reports that young men had found her walking along the side of the road near O'Henry Ballroom. A couple men swore they'd danced with her at the Ballroom. Each type of visitation ended with the man offering her a ride home, but the woman vanished into thin air whenever they neared the gates of the cemetery.
The most commonly reported encounter with Resurrection Mary is that people offer her a ride, and then the woman vanishes while inside the car or when they pass the cemetery. All of the accounts match in description and attire detail. Still, other encounters claim the woman runs out in front of their car. It's widely believed that Resurrection Mary is the ghost of a young woman who stormed out of a dance at O'Henry Ballroom in the 1930s and was later killed in a hit and run. Another story states she was on her way home from a funeral when she was struck and killed.
