Is the Busby Stoop Chair Cursed?

This week, we’re diving into the eerie legend of the Busby Stoop Chair—a seemingly ordinary wooden chair with a deadly reputation.

Tied to a 17th-century murderer, this so-called “cursed” chair is said to bring misfortune, or even death, to anyone who dares to sit in it. But is it all just superstition, or is there something more sinister at play? And why did a pub finally decide to hang it from the ceiling—out of reach forever? Is it truly cursed? Listen and you decide!

Questions Discussed in this Episode

Who was Busby? Why was he executed? What misfortunes have happened to those that sat in his chair? Why is it kept out of reach in a museum? Where is it now? Is it cursed?
