Ghost Elephants – Forest Park, IL
Back in 1918, a train carrying multiple circus cars crashed. Tragically, many people and animals were killed in the accident, including prized circus elephants. Locals believe that the spirits of the elephants remain near the cemetery and show up late at night. Apparently, a ghost elephant isn't very weird to the folks of Forest Park.
Colonel Buck’s Tomb – Bucksport, ME
According to the story, Colonel Buck got a woman pregnant and made her raise the child on her own. Later in life, she was burned at the stake because she was accused of witchcraft. Their son was in the crowd during her execution. He ran up and stole her leg and ran to the cemetery where his father was buried. He slapped her leg onto the headstone to curse his father for eternity. The stain is apparently her leg.
