The mystery of Inez Clark at Graceland Cemetery, Chicago

On my walk at Graceland Cemetery in Chicago, I discovered the glass box and creepy grave of Inez Clark.

Legend has it that Inez Clark, was killed by a lightning strike when her parents locked her outside during a storm, and that now the statue would vanish whenever it stormed.

A night watchman, making his rounds during a storm, came across Inez’s grave and saw that the box was empty. He fled, never to return. The next morning, the statue of the little girl was back in its usual place. Others have claimed to have briefly glimpsed a small child in 19th-century dress wandering through the cemetery.
