The Old Canal Inn in Nutley, NJ, is haunted by the legend of its notorious "Death Seat," a chair that is said to cause heart attacks in those who sit in it. The inn has reportedly roped off the area around the chair, which has a sign warning patrons not to sit there. According to local legend, two men in the 1960s got into a fight over the seat. Both reportedly died of heart attacks within 10 days of the dispute. Reports from Weird NJ and other sources claim that at least one other person also died after sitting in the chair. Inspired by the spooky lore, the Old Canal Inn features the "Death Seat Burger Platter" on its menu. The story of the chair has become a local legend, drawing ghost hunters and curious diners to the inn to experience the eerie atmosphere firsthand. The story receives particular attention around Halloween.
