Answer 1

Explanation? Link? Anything?

You actually think this is widely known?

Most people don't even know there's such a place as Iowa City, let alone what the freakin public sculptures are.

h**l, there are people out there who don't know where Iowa is or what it is, I guarantee it....

Answer 2

I guarantee that anyone who touches the angel will die.

Answer 3

I dont know, it just looks like a copper Angel statue in a grave yard. Its not half as creepy as this park near where I live that has a bunch of statues of the Virgin Mary. Catholic depictions of her can get rather creepy, believe me.

Answer 4

Wait till a really cold winter day and give it a l**k.  You'll know how creepy.

Answer 5

probably as creepy as you want to share with us since none of us live in Iowa city, Iowa

Answer 6

another one bites the dust...

Answer 7

I am from Iowa, and have been to Iowa City and have seen the "Black Angel". It is a creepy sight, there's no doubt about that -- especially since it's in a cemetery.

(No, I didn't touch it)

Answer 8

Just a little, How can they be sure that vandals did not paint it ?

Of course, everybody who touches it will die, If they're a child, it may take 80 years to happen.

BTW I always though Oakland cemetary was in Atlanta, Bobby Jones is buried there.

Answer 9

Freaky I wouldn't touch it though to see if the legend is true.
