The chair of illness
By Jody Tinsley

The quiet town of Connecticut was known for its peacefulness until a peculiar event started to make headlines. People began to fall mysteriously ill, and all the victims had one thing in common: a quaint old rocking chair.

The chair belonged to the elderly Mrs. Abernathy. She brought it decades ago from an antique shop and never fell ill. But with her passing, the curse seemed to have unleashed.

Families who acquired the chair started to fall sick after a week. Doctors were baffled as they could find no medical explanation. The incidents sparked fear and rumors of a cursed chair.

The chair then ended up at the home of the timber family. Within a week, Mr timber, his wife, and their their son all became terribly ill.

The town's priest, Father Daniel, was called to bless the timber' home. He was skeptical but agreed to help in any way he could. The real shock came when he saw the rocking chair.

Father Daniel felt a dark force emanating from the chair. He decided to perform an exorcism, convinced that the chair was cursed. The Timbers, though scared, allowed the exorcism.

The evening of the exorcism was eerie. Candles flickered as Father Daniel chanted prayers. But then, the rocking chair started moving erratically, scaring everyone.

Despite the terror, Father Daniel did not stop praying. Suddenly, the room fell silent, and the chair stopped moving. It seemed as though the exorcism had worked.

The Timbers did not fall ill after the exorcism, and the chair remained still. Word quickly spread around town, and Father Daniel was hailed as a hero.

Father Daniel, however, was not convinced. He advised the Timbers to keep an eye on the chair and to contact him if anything suspicious happened.

Weeks passed without any incident. The timbers started to believe that the curse was lifted. But little did they know, the worst was yet to come.

One night, the chair started rocking on its own again. It was more violent than ever before. Terrified, the Timbers called Father Daniel, who rushed over.

Father Daniel attempted another exorcism, but this time, it seemed like the force within the chair was resistant. It refused to be tamed.

Father Daniel kept praying, even as the chair moved violently. The room turned icy cold, and suddenly, a demonic laughter echoed, chilling everyone to their bones.

In a final attempt, Father Daniel threw holy water on the chair. The demonic laughter stopped, and the chair fell silent. But this time, no one celebrated.

Father Daniel advised the Timbers to leave the house for a few days. He said he needed to consult with the Church about the next steps.

Upon consulting with the Church, Father Daniel was told to destroy the chair. But he had an eerie feeling that it would not be as simple as it sounded.

When Father Daniel returned to the timbers house, he found the chair untouched but the house was in a complete mess, as if a storm had come through.

Father Daniel attempted to destroy the chair but it resisted. With every strike, objects in the house crashed, and evil laughter echoed through the house.

Undeterred, Father Daniel kept trying until he finally gave up and removed the chair from the home

Father Daniel buried the chair down in a church basement, never to be seen by the worlds eyes again until now the chair has reappeared and a new family from miles away has gained the chair unsettling curse.

The Timbers returned home to find their house in a mess, but they were glad that the cursed chair was gone. They thanked Father Daniel for his help.

Life returned to normal in that small town of Connecticut,. No new incidents of sickness were reported from the Timber home., and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The haunted rocking chair was a thing of the past…

Father Daniel, however, was a changed man. He was quieter and often found himself lost in thought. He knew he had faced something truly evil.

As months passed, the memory of the haunted chair faded. But the Timbers knew, they would forever be wary of antique furniture and the stories they carried.

One day, while cleaning out the church basement, they stumbled upon the chair and put it up for sale!

This woman innocently brought it from the church and took it on a road trip of a life time, not knowing its dark story where it now sits inside her home. As the chair entered her the house, an icy chill blew through, and the chair started rocking on its own.

The woman watched in horror as the terror become to unfold. She could only pray that it was just a nightmare. But only time would tell.

This woman would have excruciating nightmares, fall ill with no explanation So she had enough and threw the chair out…. Hoping no one would stumble upon it buried beneath a bunch boxes And till this day, nobody really knows what went on in her house or her story….

Now sitting in a new town of Danville Illinois , abandoned and weathered the question is….

Will the curse of the haunted chair re-emerge? Or will it finally rest in peace? Only time will tell.
