Dear Ghost Enthusiast,

In the heart of Oakland Cemetery in Iowa City, USA, stands a striking and somber statue known as the Black Angel. This eerie monument, cloaked in mystery and mourning, has captivated visitors for over a century with its tragic tale and unsettling presence.

The Black Angel was erected in 1912 by Teresa Dolezal Feldevert in memory of her beloved son, Eddie, who tragically passed away at a young age. Legend has it that Teresa, consumed by grief, made a pact with the Devil to ensure the monument’s dark color would remain as long as she lived, in exchange for bringing her son back to life. When she passed away in 1924, the statue turned black overnight, casting an ominous shadow over the cemetery.

Locals whisper of the Black Angel's supernatural powers, claiming that those who dare to touch it at midnight risk invoking a curse upon themselves. Some believe the statue’s outstretched wings have a mesmerizing effect, drawing in those who gaze upon it with a deep sense of foreboding.

One eerie encounter involves a visitor who, while photographing the Black Angel, captured an inexplicable shadowy figure standing beside it. The figure appeared to be cloaked in darkness, its features obscured, leaving behind a sense of unease that lingered long after the photograph was taken.

Despite its haunting reputation, the Black Angel continues to attract curious visitors and paranormal enthusiasts. Each visitor adds another layer to the legend, sharing stories of strange encounters and inexplicable phenomena that defy rational explanation.
