Eldorado Posted March 16, 2021 #1 Share Posted March 16, 2021 "In the last six years, five people have sat in the murderer's chair. Every single one has met sudden death within hours" Busby's chair, in a Kirby Wiske pub, was so deadly that they had to lock it in the cellar. 5 minute Video at the BBC archive: Link 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the13bats Posted March 16, 2021 #4 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Ive seen this one before and see it kind of like an attention fluff story based on coincidence assuming all claims about it were in fact verified, claims like these have a habit of being hear say and just stories. Locking it away to keep folks safe is a great safety measure, for the story to keep going because as the chair gained more attention people would sit in it and not met a sudden death and it would ruin the folklore, Not unlike mr warren locking away his alleged haunted objects to keep people safe, he sure didnt need countless people checking out these items and not being haunted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it is, just imagine how hard it was for them to get anyone to have a cold one there, surprised they didnt have to close. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read your link as i had forgotten details, while a few of the stories like the killer getting hung likely has documentation to back it up most of those tales have no names and are just stories, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
