Wade Radford believes he heard the voice of Thomas Busby, a murderer who was sentenced to death, hung, and then gibbeted outside the pub.
Wade Radford has written a book about his paranormal investigation and the history of the Busby Stoop and its chair There are fascinating stories to be told about the origins of pub names up and down the country. But few of these tales are quite as gory as the legend behind the Busby Stoop, a pub in the Yorkshire village of Thirsk which received its name in the 1700s.
‘My feeling of disappointment over how it looks now was so strong and unexpected, I felt compelled to do something about it. ‘I got engulfed in writing the book about the history and what we found.’ Wade realised it was important to preserve this piece of local history – so he went back through his belongings and found the original tapes of that fateful ghost hunt, which stuck with him ever since.
