The Devil's Chair

Keith Rommel investigates the dark history behind a specific piece of furniture located in Lake Helen Cemetery. This chair is said to belong to the Devil himself. The narrative begins in Cassadaga, Florida, a town known for its spiritualists and mediums. Rommel traces the lore that suggests sitting in this chair at midnight invites malevolent whispers. The text examines the tradition where a token must vanish by morning to signal the Devil's approval. This work connects the artifact to broader gothic traditions of cursed objects and supernatural bargains. It details how local legends have persisted through time, shaping the community's fear and fascination. Rommel, known for works like The Devil Tree and The Cursed Man, brings his expertise in horror fiction to this non-fiction exploration. The book is organized around the legend's origins and its cultural impact on the region. Readers who enjoy deep dives into local folklore and the history of hauntings will find this compelling. Those seeking straightforward historical records or academic analysis may find the tone too narrative. The description focuses on the specific rituals associated with the chair rather than general ghost stories. It does not offer solutions to the curse but rather documents its existence. The final chapters likely address the enduring nature of such myths in modern America. This volume stands as a record of a specific, terrifying local tradition.
