Context
Resurrection Catholic Cemetery stands at 7201 Archer Road in Justice, Cook County, Illinois. Founded in 1904, it covers 397 acres and holds about 225,000 burials. In 1939, or 1936 by Michael Kleen's count, Jerry Palus danced with a girl at Liberty Grove Hall in Brighton Park and drove her down Archer Avenue, where near the cemetery she asked to get out, saying, "Where I'm going, you can't follow." Then she vanished through the gates, and folklorist Richard T. Crowe, who popularised the case in the 1970s, said Palus recognised "the touch of a corpse."
