Urban Legends: The Devil’s Chair (Cassadaga, Florida)

Cassadaga, Fla., is known as a home for many spiritualists and retired circus performers but it is also home to a spooky legend. The story of The Devil’s Chair has been passed down for decades. The “chair” is actually a brick graveside bench in Lake Helen-Cassadaga Cemetery. Many local legends surround the bench. One is that “an unopened can of beer left on the chair will be empty by morning,” according to MadGhosts.com. “In some accounts, the can is opened, and in others, the beer is simply gone, through the unopened top.” Another part of the legend says that visitors who dare to sit on the bench will be visited by the devil.
