There are plenty of ghost stories surrounding White Cemetery and Cuba Road in Barrington that date all the way back to the 1960s.
Many have claimed to see strange orbs of light bouncing from the cemetery’s fence, while others say they’ve been chased by a phantom car that appears out of nowhere at the cemetery’s gate.
Patch has been working on a series about haunted venues in the Chicago area. As part of the series, I met up with ghost researcher Dale Kaczmarek to talk about some of the legends behind the ghosts of Barrington. Some of the tales of White Cemetery and Cuba Road are just urban legends that were started by a Palatine school teacher 50 years ago. However, Kaczmarek said he believes some of the ghost stories are actually true.
There’s a supposedly haunted street called Rainbow Road near White Cemetery that is teeming with paranormal activity. There was a home that burnt to the ground many years ago along that stretch of road, and some say they still see that house appear to them as they drive by.
Watch our interview with Kaczmarek to hear him describe some of the ghostly things people claim to have seen on Rainbow Road. I'm not one to be spooked by ghosts, especially in broad daylight, but even I got the chills driving down that street!
Be sure to check back to Patch on Monday when we'll show you a video that claims to "debunk" the we described at the .
In 1973, my family buried my brother and then my father..within a year the teen monsters tipped over the headstone.. I dug a moat around the headstone, after righting it, no easy feat for me but anger made it possible. I then put several bags of cement in the moat and borrowed water from Mr Catlow on the corner of Cuba and Harbor, yes, the Catlow Theatre builder and owner, who went to school with my mother.. What these teen monsters are doing is a crime! The neighbors try to keep an eye on the place, but these teen monster's parents evidently don't care about the whereabouts of their monsters... Please note, three vehicles went by, all of them over the speed limit for Cuba Road.
Wrong, it is called by a new name, Barrington High School.
