Growing up in Utah it was common to hear about Emo’s Grave, how people would go there and circle it chanting the name and have things appear.

findagrave says:
Legions of Salt Lake City’s high school boys have terrified their girlfriends — gallantly offering to protect the girls by holding them close, of course — by the legend of “Emo’s Grave.”

If you circle that grave in the City Cemetery, they say, chanting “Emo, Emo, Emo,” and then look quickly into the window at the shattered remains of a vandalized flower urn, you will see Emo’s blood-red eyes glowing back at you.

The name on the monument is “Moritz.” And while you can find 400 Web pages devoted to “Emo,” a decent biography of the fine man that monument honors is lacking.
