“St. Patrick's Cemetery Cache”
Nice quiet road and nice cemetery despite the legend. Cache is not located on or near any headstone or marker. Be respectful of the area. According to legend, Mary Worth was a notorious witch who lived on a farm west of Gurnee in Lake County in the mid-1800s. Prior to the Civil War, she would capture runaway slaves and torture them in her barn. Outraged locals took the law into their own hands and burned her to death. Some say her bones were buried in St. Patrick’s Cemetery, but others say they were buried on her farm. Some researchers believe this tale is the origin of the “Bloody Mary” urban legend.
