The mansion’s last inhabitant, George Meade Easby, (a descendant of seven signers of the Declaration of Independence) died in 2005 but before his death he claimed to have seen many ghostly goings on all around the house—most notably the ghost of his brother, Steven who died suddenly as a young child, his mother and none other than the ghost of Thomas Jefferson himself. However, the most unsettling tales come from the infamous Blue Room and the ‘Chair of Death’ which can be found there. The chair is a two-hundred-year-old blue upholstered wing chair, which some say once belonged to Napoleon Bonaparte.But this isn’t the kind of chair you’d want to show off to your neighbors and it’s certainly not the kind of chair you’d want them to sit in either.
Several paranormal investigators believe a female ghost haunts the chair and George’s nickname for the spirit found in this particular room would back that claim up: Spectral Amelia. It is said that whenever Amelia is present, a blue mist descends upon the room and that any one who is brave enough to sit in the chair when the spirit is in attendance will die suddenly. To this day four people have pooh-poohed the claim and brazenly sat in the chair. Those very same people perished. So the question is, would you sit in the Chair of Death? --
