Chair Of Death by bnovative(m): 4:53pm On Oct 06, 2014
Case File: Chair of Death
Location: Thirsk, England
Date: 1669
Description: Located near Sandhutton
in North Yorkshire, the Busby Stoop
Inn is a public house with a tavern that
is considered haunted. The activity
seems confined to a reputed Chair of
Death kept in storage.
History: The 'Chair of Death' was the
favorite chair of a striper named
Thomas Busby, who was convicted in
1702 for the murder of his father-in-
law, Daniel Auty, whom he supposedly
strangled for sitting in his favourite
chair after an argument about Thomas'
wife, Auty's daughter Elizabeth. On his
way to the gallows in 1702, he asked
to stop by the pub and put a curse on
his chair, claiming that anyone who sat
in it would be haunted and soon die.
It remained in the pub for centuries,
and people were dared to sit in it.
During World War II, airmen from an
nearby base made the pub a hot spot,
and the chair became a "hot seat" and
people noticed that the ones who sat
in it would never come back from war.
In 1967, two Royal air force pilots sat
in it, and while driving back, they
crashed into a tree and died. A few
years later, two brick layers decided to
try it, and that afternoon, the one who
sat in it fell to his death. The cursed
chair has apparently "killed" every
person who sat in it, no matter what.
Some instances include a roofer who
sat in it died after the roof he was
working on collapsed, and a cleaning
woman stumbled into it while
mopping, and was later killed by a
brain tumor. Eventually, the pub
owner moved it into the basement,
hoping that nobody would sit in it.
However, one day a delivery man was
in the basement and sat in it. An hour
later, he crashed his truck and died.
After that death, the landlord asked
the local museum to take it. to ensure
nobody sat in it again, they hung the
chair five feet from the ground.
Recently, the current owner of the
pub heard of another death. During
World War II, a truck driver picked up
two airmen, and they wanted him to
stop at the pub, and while they were
in the bathroom the driver
unknowingly sat in the chair. When
the airmen didn't return, he left, and
when one of them later found him he
killed him. It seemed, that because
the museum had made it nearly
impossible to be able to sit in it, its
"killing" days were over however the
museum closed and auctioned off all of
its belongings in 2010. The location of
the chair is now unknown, but it is
believed that the chair has since been
refurbished. It is said that for some
time prior to death (time varies in all
cases) the person who sat in the chair
experiences haunting experiences,
including extreme itching, paranoia,
hearing things, confusion, items being
moved and written warnings on
mirrors and walls about the persons
imminent death in addition to many
other strange happenings.
