Chicago, Illinois: Statue of Death: Grim Reaper

It's off to the right and down a bit from the entrance. Super creepy and cool.

Would have to say this is one of the most interesting and beautiful cemeteries in Chicagoland and pretty much anywhere I've visited. This statue is not the only one with a ghostly past. Check out Little Inez, the girl in the glass box; she's said to make the rounds at night.

This statue is actually called "Eternal Silence" and it has a fun/ghastly legend attached to it. It's said that if you look the statue in the eye, you'll die shortly afterwards.

Graceland Cemetery is pretty neat. Some of the famous people buried there include Pinkerton of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, the architect Sullivan, the Marshall Fields, the Potter Palmers, and Armour of Amour Vienna Sausages.

This is the place where many of Chicago big cats ended up pushing up daisies. There are huge monuments to the dearly departed, often with very interesting design features. The statue of Death is one of the most creepy I've seen. If you're in Chi town and get tired of walking around Wrigley Field, and are looking for a change, head over to Graceland Cemetery.
