There is nothing that excites the imagination and tickles the nerves, as all mystical and otherworldly. It is well understood Anthony Earnshaw, the pub owner called the Busby Stoop in the English city of Huddersfield.

For this reason, for many years, he did not want to part with a chair Busby. The seemingly ordinary piece of furniture helped drinking establishment to gain fame and to fill his pockets with money of the owner.

A rare place in England without its own legends. Here's the city of Huddersfield that halfway from London to Edinburgh, is no exception. As says the old tradition, in 1702 here was sent to the gallows by Thomas Busby. During a fight with a counterfeiter That so broke, that knocked the opponent in the head with a hammer. In the result he died on the spot.

The court sentenced Busby to death by hanging. Before sending the accused to the light, the jury agreed to fulfill his last wish. Tom asked for a glass of whisky, which he would be able to drain in the pub on his favorite chair. His request was granted.

The convoy was escorted Busby in a pub where the offender was handed a hot drink and sat on a chair. The killer knocked over a glass and said: "anyone who dares to sit in my chair, follow me to heaven." Soon Busby went to hell. People in those times were superstitious and were afraid to tempt fate.

For decades no one would sit for a spell chair. But once in the pub looked chimney sweep. In drinking establishments, as luck would have it, there was no free space and the chimney sweep sat down on a chair Busby. The next day poor climbed to the highest roof of the Huddersfield and fell. It was the first victim of the ill-fated chair and, alas, not the last.

Since then much water has flowed. During this time the pub had become famous throughout England. Popularity brought him rare varieties of English Ales, excellent cuisine or celebrity visits, and the same damn chair Busby.

During this time he managed to send the light to many people. One sat on him by accident, others knew nothing about his magical abilities. The owners of the pub has changed many times, but each of them kept the old subject. Despite the ominous reputation, the chair of Thomas Busby was attracted to the pub many visitors. People want at least one eye to look at a fatal thing.

In 1966, the then owner of the institution considered fair to name him in honor of Thomas, and since then the pub called the "Busby Stoop" — "Busby Stoop". In 1967 in Huddersfield will two military pilot from America, and first went to the famous pub.

Aliens knocked over a few Beers, cheered up and started a dispute with the local drinkers. The pilots argued that all the talk about the curse nothing more than an invention of superstitious Englishmen. And to assure the British of the correctness of each of them in turn sat on a fateful chair.

The next day, the visitors of the pub opened Newspapers and in the news column I read the terrible news. After a night of carousing in the pub, the friends sat in the car and drove to the hotel, but on a slippery road, the car skidded and he crashed into a tree. Both pilots died on the spot.

Visited the pub came to the conclusion that the blame booze that Americans are pretty pumped. But deep down everyone knew that the Braves defied the curse and paid for it with his life.

In the same year, another doubting Thomas suffered from the chair Tom Busby. It was a Sergeant of the British army, who neither believed in God nor in the devil. In his opinion, to fear the curse that is over two hundred and fifty years, silly. To prove his innocence, a brave soldier sat down on the chair and laughed at the superstitious regulars at the pub.

And the next morning died at a local hospital. The doctors were in shock: the young man was healthy and never complained of sickness. The next victim of the chairs was a young Builder – he sat in a chair by mistake. A few days later he fell from the scaffolding and crashed.

Then the chair sat the waitress: the woman stumbled while cleaning the hall and casually sat down on the edge. The result – a death from cancer. Unfortunately, the sad list is multiplied. All who had the temerity to sit on a chair Busby, took his own life, died under the wheels of the car, took a lethal dose of drugs, drowned or died from serious diseases.

The British knew that to the cursed chair is not worth coming. But leisure travelers are not afraid to tempt fate. One of the latest stories connected with 37-year-old American named Ann Connecter. She somehow found out about the goddamn chair, and traveling through England, I decided to look into Huddersfield in order to see this object.

Once in the pub, an accountant from America began to tell the visitors about the old dream – to sit in a chair, then to the house to tell his friends about his "feat". No matter how to persuade an American not to, to prevent her failed.

The woman even asked the customers of the pub to photograph her so she could show the house. Happy Anne left the school, so after half an hour to die. The American crashed in the cab of the Elevator in which the cable burst.

After this tragedy, the owner put the Busby chair in the far corner and shut it off with a rope. On the wall, placed an advertisement to say: to sit on a chair is prohibited. And then followed the legend of Thomas Busby.

Even after these precautions the case for the next victim did not. Another chair sat an American Melis the Dolonne. The girl came to the pub company to celebrate his birthday. Apparently, alcohol played a malicious joke with it. She overdosed on beer and whiskey, I forgot about all the warnings.

In the midst of the Melissa shouted, which despises prejudice, and rushed to the chair. She easily stepped over the rope and was on the chair. In the hall hung deathly silence. And Melis, obviously pleased with his antics, laughed and drained the Cup of beer.

If not for this episode could be considered that the party was great. The next morning, the friends Melis the Dolonne recalled with a laugh of her messes. But a week later they had shed tears on her grave. The girl was returning to his hostel on the outskirts of the city, when on a dark and deserted street she was attacked by a pack of hungry and angry dogs. Melis mauled dog.

The owners of the pub were the mournful record: the cursed chair killed sixty-five people. After the terrible death of Melis the Dolonne the new owner of the pub Anthony Earnshaw decided: that's enough. He was invited to the pub by the local priest Joseph Mainwaring-Taylor for the consecration of the chair.

The pastor did their job and asked the owner to get rid of the cursed object. Tony replied:

This chair is the silent testimony of history, and I have no right to interfere in its course. I consider it my duty to warn customers about the danger emanating from him, and it is their right to believe me or not. Near many bodies of water are signs warning against swimming in them, but despite this, there are those who still climbs into the water.

However, on reflection, the owner of the pub decided to pass the chair to the Museum. Since the damn chair of Thomas Busby is in the city Museum of Huddersfield. Access to it is blocked by a glass wall, due to which no one has the opportunity to test his fate.
