Dog Boy – Quitman, AR

Gerald Bettis was a young boy who lived with his abusive parents in Arkansas. The legend says that they put him through horrific human experiments, similar to the ones conducted at Auschwitz. Years later, neighbors noticed that the boy was never seen outdoors. At the same time, they claimed to have seen a ghostly wolf boy walking past the windows of the tiny yellow home.

The Devil’s Chair – Cassadaga, FL

Maybe the Devil's Chair isn't made of bones and flames... Maybe it's just a brick seat located in Cassadaga, Florida. Apparently, if you sit on this little brick chair the Devil will whisper evil things in your ear that will change you completely. Others have been completely tortured while sitting in the chair, almost to the point of them not being able to get off on their own.
