Come closer. There’s a cursed chair hanging from a museum ceiling in North Yorkshire.

Not on the floor. Not behind glass. Bolted overhead, safely out of reach, with a polite little placard explaining that nobody is allowed to sit in it.

Which is one way to run a séance while calling it risk management.

In this Dastardly Objects episode of Velvet Guillotine, April Rain takes on the Busby Stoop Chair — the allegedly cursed pub chair tied to Thomas Busby, a murderer and counterfeiter hanged in 1702 outside his own inn.

Legend says Busby cursed the chair before his execution, promising death to anyone who sat in it after him. For centuries, the stories came rolling in: regulars, travelers, airmen, builders, drivers — all supposedly doomed after taking a seat.

One delicious problem.

The chair is too young.

So what is really haunted here? The wood? The curse? The pub? The museum display?

The Busby Stoop Chair probably doesn’t kill.

But bolted to a beam, daring you to wonder?

Oh, darling. It works beautifully.
