The chair of death
is an oak chair whose owner was a murderer Thomas Busby. In 1702, Thomas Busby
was convicted of murdering his father-in-law Daniel Auty. Bubsy allegedly
strangled Auty for sitting in his chair after an argument with his wife. This
crime caused Busby to be sentenced to death. Supposendly, on his way to the execution
Bubsy asked to stop at the pub where he stated that anyone who sits in his
chair will die.
After Bubsy's execution,
the chair stayed at the pub for centuries. The mystery arose when Bubsy's words
started to come true. During World War II the pub became popular among airman.
That is when people started noticing that airman who would sit in the chair
would not return from the war. Besides airman, there have been numerous deaths connected
to the chair through the years. Eventually, the pub owner decided to put the
chair in the basement. Despite the chair being in the basement, a delivery man
found the chair and sat in it. An hour later, the man crashed his truck and
died. That was the incident which prompted the owner of the pub to get rid of
the chair when he gave it to the local museum.
The chair resides
in the museum located in North Yorkshire, England. The chair is lifted in the
air in order to prevent anyone from sitting in it. Allegedly, till present day
63 people who sat on the chair died mysteriously. Furthermore, it is believed
that prior to the death, the person would experience symptoms of haunting
including hearing and seeing things, paranoia, confusion, objects moving and
many other strange happenings.
