This chair has been relocated once again, as the hotel it was beside has closed and been torn down. It now currently stands in Sutton along 2nd Street, just around the corner from the Flatwoods Monster Museum.

Scary Monster Chair

While the surrounding Flatwoods Monster sites are still surviving, this chair is not. The motel it stood in front of has been demolished, it seems, and even the little lane that led up to it is roped off.
