The Cursed Pillar – Augusta, GA

Yes, Georgia is the home to a paranormal hotspot (basically all of Savannah) but the cursed pillar is something that needs to be talked about. The lore says that a preacher wanted to deliver a sermon next to this pillow and was not allowed by the city government. He then cursed the town and forewarned that it would be destroyed. Soon after, a tornado ravaged the down and destroyed most of it, but the pillar remained.
