On Friday March 27, 2009 we decided to go to Brazil, IN and check out the 100 Step Cemetery. We arrived about 10 til midnight, which was good because according to legend everything happens at midnight. The story goes; if you walk up the stairs counting them, when you get to the top look toward the open field and the ghost of the cemetery's first caretaker will appear. Without saying a word he will reveal your death to you in a vision. The climber MUST proceed down the steps, counting them again. If you do not get the same number as you got going up, then you will die the way the caretaker showed you. Legend also states that you must walk up the steps to get to the cemetery, if you try to walk up the grassy hill you will be pushed down to the ground by a phantom hand, which will leave a red imprint for several days so those who see it can see the mark of the Devil.
Adam and I decided we would walk up the stairs and do the counting while Jason walked up the hill in the grass next to the stairs to see if you do indeed get shoved down. Adam got to the top and counted 59 steps, I counted 58. We looked to the right toward the open field, but did not see the caretaker. Jason made it to the top without getting shoved to the ground. That took care of the legend.
While we were there we thought we would look around and take some pictures. This cemetery is in bad shape. People have destroyed this place. There was graffiti on trees and tombstones. Tombstones were toppled over, most of them broken. It is very sad to know that people do not have enough sense to be respectful of the dead.
All in all it was uneventful at this cemetery.
