The Haunted Pillar of Augusta GA
This pillar is all that remains of a great farmers and slave market in Augusta, GA from the 1800's.
On February 7th, 1878, a tornado destroyed all this market except for this one pillar.
Many stories and legends offer insight into why this lone pillar remains.
One story says that a Preacher was denied to preach there, and because of that, he cursed the building and claimed that someday all of it will be destroyed except for this pillar.
Another story says that slaves were chained to this pillar and whipped, and the ghosts of these slaves cursed it.
It is said that anyone who attempts to move, destroy or even touch this pillar will result in death.
There's been many reports of bad things happening to construction workers who were involved in plans to move/demolish the pillar.(Not necesarily death though)
And then there's the story of the man who drove his car into this pillar, and was found dead in his car even though he had no injuries and there was no substantial damage to the car.
