The 100 steps Cemetery is located in the town of Brazil, though the offical address is actually disputed. While it's not clear when the stories about the cemetery being haunted began, but there are gravestones that date back to the 1860s.
The legend states that if someone finds themselves in the cemetery at midnight, they must climb the steps and count to 100. At this point, a ghost of an undertaker will appear and show the person a vision of their death. On the way back down, the visitor is supposed to count the steps again- if they count the same amount of steps, the vision was false.

The black angel stands over 8 feet tall in Oakland Cemetery in Iowa City, and she is black due to oxidization. Most likely due to her dark appearance, multiple legends have cropped up around her. One legend says that a pregnant woman should never walk under her, or she'll loose the child. Other says that if you touch or kiss the statue you'll be dead withing six months.
Whether haunted cursed, or completely harmless, the statue is definitely a somber sight to see.
16. KANSAS, The Devil's Chair
The legend of The Devil's Chair goes like this: An old farmer in Alma refused to sell his land to the city in order to build a new cemetery. Someone grew a little too tired of waiting for him to sell, so he wad pushed into his own well. Eventually, someone said that there was a terrible smell coming from the well, so the city sent someone to investigate. It was ruled that the well was empty and it was boarded up.
Now, if you make your way to Alma, you can actually sit on the boarded-up well, but legend says that people who have sat on the well, have been known to mysteriouslydisappear.

There's no clear consensus on how the goat man came to be - some say he was a circus performer, others say he was a farmer who tortured his goats for Satan and in return wad turned into a hideous goat monster. However, everyone does agree on his appearance - dark fur, pale skin, goat legs and horns.
The monster is said to hide under the bridge at Pope Lick Creek in Louisville to lure people onto the train tracks, only to see them be hit by oncoming trains. Sadly, this urban legend has had some dangerous consequences. In 2016, an Ohio woman fell to her death from the bridge while looking for the Goat Man.
