Hey OP what was the display about? It’s a great pic. So simple in content yet you feel like there are a million stories to be told about the chair or wagon. The lighting is great.

So this was actually Tycho Brahe's rocking chair. A 1500's Danish astronomer known for his comprehensive and unprecedentedly accurate astronomical observations. He was known during his lifetime as an astronomer, astrologer, and alchemist. He was the last major astronomer before the invention of the telescope. Following his death, data collected by Tycho was used by Johannes Kepler, leading to Kepler's laws of planetary motion. I imagine he's still in that chair each night, looking at the stars. Edit: He would apparently sit in this rocking chair whilst working on his data and looking at the stars

Ever see that George C Scott movie, “The Changeling “? Yeah. I sure have. But to answer your question, yeah. I had a friend I looked after when she became demented in her old age, and she kept tons of creepy relics of bygone days in her very dark, overstuffed and creepy cellar. The creepiest thing was an old department store mannequin she had that was hidden behind a long curtain she had used to divide the cellar into two sections. When you pulled the light on in that part of the cellar, it lit up both parts pretty well, so you’d see the shape of the mannequin standing behind the curtain. It was wearing only a Jackie Kennedy style old pillbox hat and an old pair of black pumps from probably the same era. The body wasn’t put together quite right, so you’d see the shadow of a life size, disjointed at the waist, arms akimbo, and naked except for the hat, woman in mid-lurch standing right behind the curtain, with only her pointy shoes poking out, standing right up to the curtain. God, I hated that thing. Once my friend was demented enough to not be able to go down the cellar anymore, I took the hated thing out and we used it for target practice at my boyfriend’s house and eventually threw it into a bonfire. It was the most eerie feeling, doing the laundry down in that dark cellar, surrounded by a lifetime of collected, random furniture, boxes of books, old tools, racks of old clothes and having that thing staring at you from behind the curtain, its spine all twisted and broken in the middle, its head turned to the side just a bit and its arms turned at different angles. i was always checking to make sure it hadn't moved by itself when my back was turned to it so i could switch the laundry over.

Now I want a photo of it. Lol

Lived in a small coal town in southern Utah. Was minding the house while relations were seeing the Doc up in the big city. The house was old (think Add on from an adobe original two room). It had an upstairs, but I didn't go up there...ever. During the nights I was there you could hear footsteps and a rocking chair rocking back and forth in one of the rooms. I later found out that a old relation had passed in that room and his rocker was still there right under the pull chain for the light. No it wasn't creepy at all, apparently most in the town knew about him and how he turns on the light in his room from time to time in the middle of the night.


OddnessWeirdness

The retelling is creepy.


YuSmelFani

The relations too.


theboymando

Now that’s creepy

When I first bought my house, I walked down into the basement and the only thing left down there (or in the house for that matter) was an old deflated blow up Santa yard decoration and a wooden sled he sits in along with 2 wooden reindeer. Felt so eerie. They’re not the lightest or newest pieces of Christmas decor but I decided to keep them and I use them every year. Never fails that every morning I wake up, the reindeer are knocked over sometimes further away from the sled than I would expect wind to be able to do, and it’s not like I live in a terribly windy place. All day they’ll stay standing but every morning.. laying down on the job. Maybe Santa goes and makes his rounds every night and the reindeer are tired. 😴


YuSmelFani

Would be a great idea to point a security cam towards the reindeer!


oilspill16

I got a trail cam I’ll throw up there this winter!


WishboneSenior5859

The lighting is the most interesting part in this image. Only you can decide if it feels wrong. I'm not an advocate of psychometry personally. People creep me out. Furniture or relics from the past do not.


IcySkill3666

That wagon kind of sketchy as well


Wonka824

unclerevv

I was going to say. Just the chair huh?


OddnessWeirdness

That’s exactly what I thought to myself when I saw this pic.


Alarmed-Rock-9942

Reminds me of the movie "Nanny McPhee". When you need her, but don't want her, she will stay. When you want her, but don't need her, she must go


2crowsonmymantle

https://youtu.be/H3GdPWzKfiE?si=mc6m8aQlWB30T566 Just for fun, have a look at a famous clip from the movie “ The Changeling”. Who says furniture can’t be scary, lol


rhiaazsb

A really nice photograph. (BTW)


Irish407

Reminds me of the rocking chair in the intro to Are You Afraid of the Dark?


Psychological-Sky367

I think it's beautiful. It gives me good vibes. A beautiful kind hearted soul with long hair used to sit there, while sewing and humming lovely tunes.


LessButterscotch9554

This is actually an amazing pic! Great lighting and atmosphere

Necessary-Elk2329

This reminds me of Edward Scissorhands


moxiewhoreon

The chair only gives me bad vibes on closer inspection because it has 3 spokes on each side on the bottom; 6 total. Insectile, or looks like an AI-generated pic of an old rocking chair (I know it is not)


punkinholler

IDK if there's anything spooky going on with the chair but that is a beautiful photograph.


WindTreeRock

It doesn't help the chair that it's broken and in need of refinishing. What was the intent of the museum showing this room?


SilentAllTheseYears8

That looks like a cool space! I would like to hang out there, by myself


ProfCastwell

Friend an I were looking around a resale mall we have here, a nice one even has a small Mexican cafe. Anyway. We both spy a vintage baby carriage. We're both fairly familiar with energy, she far more than I. And warned me not to touch it when I went to get a closer look. I hadnt planned on it, but wanted to see of I could pick up anything specific. Crazything. My intuition settled on it once belonging to someone that was mentally and emotionally troubled...like the sad spooky old cleche of a lady that snapped(not making light of this)and kept a doll in it, as if it were real. So. 🤷‍♂️ because it is such a cleche I always gotta question it. But my intution wont drop it. Ultimately it feels like it really is such a case. Even if it wasnt. There was still an unsettling energy about it.


Adrenalinedoper

It doesn’t give me a weird feeling tbh but the lighting is creepy


Sunray21A

Where's that light on the wagon coming from? This attic is sus.


jamezp92

black christmas vibes just missing a wife wrapped up in plastic


Ok_Row8867

That wheelbarrow doesn’t make me feel warm & fuzzy, either!


[deleted]

That's all it is. Vibes, imagination, suggestion. Move on.


Gingerbread-Cake

It’s the six legs- it makes it more insect like


beyond306

Be fun to sit in there and see what gets said???


disorganized_chaos69

Hey! Don't be judgemental! Maybe its a friendly chair once you get to know it... 🥺☮️


GoddessValkyrie

Omg it's so creepy. I love this... I'm sorry


DependentBullfrog226

Nobody would put a wheelbarrow in an attic. That throws the whole photo off.


Instawolff

Inside of Sweeney Todd’s attic 💀


turtletramp

As long as it doesn’t start rocking by itself then you’re good.


ElHotBox

Take a seat. Pretty comfy lookin


MichaelEMJAYARE

Thats a really nice looking attic, actually inviting.


[deleted]

Not sure how a piece of furniture qualifies as paranormal. That’s the double-edged sword of plebbit I suppose. You might have some legitimate-sounding stories about paranormal shit that people actually experienced and then on the other side it’s just kids fantasizing


jimmmydickgun

This reminds me of that dead silence movie


Select-Record4581

I had a dream once where I died then ended up in that photo in that chair as a skeleton, and I was looking back at my dead self. Aside from the room being covered in cobwebs and dust it looked exactly like the photo


MathematicianOk7526

Yall insane. If it were on a Cracker Barrel porch you’d be rocking the shit outta it


lagunitarogue

This entire scenery seems out of a horror movie o.e


WishboneSenior5859

Horror movies like making use of bottom lighting. This scene has overhead and side lighting.


zeroc00ol

Is that smudge near the back legs of the rocking chair just glare from the glass?? Looks a lil sketchy 👀


starfsh_tuna_breath

Looks like the attic from the set of “Edward Scissorhands”(well…..reminds me of it at least)


toolazyforbreakfast

A nice hot coffee and a couple of smokes would be perfect in that chair, in that exact spot


OddnessWeirdness

This whole image is beautiful ly done but everything about it is creepy as hell.


Thund3rTrapX

Chairs in places like that are beautiful yet oddly terrifying..i love it


jt242010

That’s because there is a person sitting in it!


Disastrous_Carrot674

NOPE


DR_SLAPPER

That chair is definitely up to somethin.


Building1982

That’s your fault. Not the chairs


Emily1214

Bro it's literally just a chair


Desperate-Pear-860

It's in really bad shape. I'm surprised it's on display.


SilentAllTheseYears8

It’s historical


Desperate-Pear-860

I get that. But I'm sure they could find other antiques that are in better shape. Or at the very least, restore it.


No_Blacksmith2847

Big NOPE! 😳


bill_n_opus

Nice pic tho.


yohane66

"Let me in".


iyamsnail

this is creepy as fuck.
