Ep. 155
•
In this chilling episode, Gary and GoldieAnn take you to an unassuming stretch of road in Indiana, halfway between Brazil and Terre Haute, where the whispers of the past echo through a quiet cemetery. Officially named Cloverland Cemetery, the locals know it by a far more ominous moniker—the 100-Step Cemetery.
This small, Civil War-era burial ground holds a peculiar claim to fame: a daunting staircase of exactly 100 steps that leads visitors to its summit. But this isn’t just any staircase. Legend has it that the cemetery may reveal something terrifyingly unforgettable if you dare to ascend the steps on a moonless night. For decades, rumors of ghostly rituals and spectral encounters have made this a proving ground for the brave—or the foolish.
We delve into the mysterious history of the 100-Step Cemetery, from the roots of its ghostly reputation to the creepy rituals that have haunted visitors since the 1950s. Is it merely a local legend, or does something supernatural truly wait at the top?
Grab your flashlight, steady your nerves, and join us as we climb Within the Mist to uncover the chilling secrets of the 100-Step Cemetery. Will you dare to take the steps and confront what awaits?
