Pillar Of Prophecy

The Pillar of Prophecy in Augusta, Georgia, USA, is a stone pillar in the Greco-Roman style. It sits in the heart of the downtown district and pedestrians and tourists often gaze upon it with suspicion as they go about their daily business. 
The Pillar of Prophecy's origin lies in the story of a fire-and-brimstone preacher who arrived in Georgia over a century ago. His fiery sermons and confrontational attitude did not lend itself well to the native Georgians, who eventually kicked him out. However, the preacher made a vow and, placing his hand on a stone pillar, swore that only this pillar would survive into the future, and that anyone who touched it would suffer sickness and disaster. 
The identity of the preacher is lost to the mists of time (assuming he ever even existed) but the story has taken root and today the Pillar of Prophecy is a national monument of American history and terror.
