Julia Petta

The "Italian Bride" died in 1921 in childbirth. After her death, her mother Filomena was haunted by dreams in which her daughter told her that she was still alive. Six years later, she received permission to open the grave. When Julia's rotten casket was opened, her body had not decayed at all. Her mother took a picture of Julia that decorates her grave to his day.

Several people have claimed to have seen Julia's ghost in a white wedding dress at her grave.
