- Chair of Death
-
The Chair of Death or Death Chair is a supposedly haunted chair that brings death to those who sit in it.[1]
General information
The Chair of Death is a "cursed" two-hundred-year-old blue upholstered wing chair in the Blue Room of Baleroy Mansion in the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia.[2][3] Some say the chair once belonged to Napoleon. The previous owner of the chair and the mansion was George Meade Easby until 2005. Those who have supposedly died because of the chair include Paul Kimmons, a former curator. According to Easby, a ghost known as Amanda or Amelia entices people to sit in the chair.[4]
