Haunted cemetery statues — like “Eternal Silence”, pictured — are the perfect settings for ghost stories and urban legends.

Sculpted in 1909, Eternal Silence stands eerily sentinel, his back to a monument in Chicago’s Graceland Cemetery. According to local legend, if you gaze into the statue’s eyes, you’ll see a vision of your own demise.

Prompt: Create something today inspired by (or featuring) a haunted statue in a cemetery. Feel free to get extra creative if you want — who says your cemetery has to be for dearly departed humans, or that your statue has to be haunted by a ghost?
