Summary
The Old Canal Inn, located at 2 E. Passaic Ave in Nutley, New Jersey, is widely considered one of the state's most haunted bars. This is primarily due to the legend of the Death Seat. This specific red-cushioned stool at the end of the bar is roped off because urban legends claim that patrons who sit in it die shortly after; notably, two men reportedly suffered fatal heart attacks within ten days of fighting over the seat in the 1960s, and another incident occurred in 1964!!! https://1057thehawk.com/haunted-bar-nutley-nj/ https://www.themontclairgirl.com/old-canal-inn-bar-history-nutley-new-jersey/ https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/new-jersey/death-themed-tavern-nj https://m.youtube.com/shorts/TKYLij7Pi1E?ra=m https://search.brave.com/search?q=the+old+canal+inn+haunted&conversation=097b1eef2660006eae32fc680de3f77600b5 https://www.facebook.com/share/17JspfhBz5/?mibextid=wwXIfr
