Welcome to Mad Chicago. What’s on your mind Chicago?

Photos shoot in the Forest Preserve behind Chicagos Montrose cemetery

Photos taken in the Forest Preserve behind Chicago’s Montrose cemetery

Forget about Burr Oak cemetery, Another Chicago area cemetery has issues. I took a bunch of photos behind a cemetery while walking in Labaugh Woods on the Northwest side of Chicago.

: Paint sprayed wall under bridge on pathway to Montrose cemetery’s lost graveyard

These photos were taken as I took a summer stroll with my kids in the Cook County Forest Preserve just outside the Montrose cemetery fence. I wonder how many other Chicago area cemetaries are currupt?
Our stroll started as we went under the abandon train bridge via the woods. The walls under the bridge were spray painted with violent/satanic markings.

On the other side of the bridge we were greeted by un-friendly, seemingly homeless people living in the woods near the lost cemetery. It looked as though they were worshiping to a strange hooded object . They were using smoke to chant at the weird statue looking thing. Weird faces appeared in the smoke. Some of the people were getting upset that I was photographing them. Some were trying to hide their faces.
Past the bridge we saw these headstones that looked as though they were just thrown all around the area. Some were covered with brush, and sometimes grown trees, an indication that they have been there quite a while.
When you look at the following photos we took you gotta wonder…

Most of these lost head stones are from late 1800's early 1900's

It's obvious these have been here for a long time — Covered in brush and overgrown with trees and grass.

Where is the rest of this grave? — Next to a large tree, where is the rest of this grave?

Upside down and covered in brush, it is obvious this head stone was simply tossed away here. — Upside down and covered in brush, it is obvious these head stons were simply tossed away here.
