Busby Stoop Chair // 76 // CURSE

Drinking The Cool Aid

Thomas Busby owned an inn/pub. One day, his father-in-law, Daniel, sat in his favorite chair. The men got in a fight and Tom ended up murdering Dan that night. Thomas was sentenced to death by hanging and he would be dipped in tar and placed in a gibbet for all to see. Before Tom was lead to his death, he had one last drink in his bar and said “Death shall come swiftly to anyone that dares to sit in my chair.” After that, many people that sat in the chair died under mysterious circumstances.
