Jonathan Frank Tate spent years in security operations, the military, and private contracting, but it's his time as Warden for Newborough and Llanddwyn on Anglesey that gives this account its setting.
His book, Factual Supernatural, is out now on Amazon, and this episode features one of its accounts exactly as he wrote it, unaltered.
No one touches the chair, no one is ever there, but Tate falls asleep in an old chair inside an abandoned caravan deep in the forest, dreams that something unseen is turning it slowly beneath him, and wakes to find it still spinning exactly as it was in the dream. This is Chair Spin.
Tate's years patrolling Newborough and Llanddwyn meant long, solitary hours in a forest that has spent centuries quietly reclaiming everything left inside it, from animal paths to a royal court buried beneath the dunes by ancient storms.
Exhausted after hours of walking before dawn, Tate steps inside an old caravan he had always found unsettling but never entered, and sits down in a swivel office chair that looks strangely well kept compared to everything decaying around it. He falls asleep almost instantly and dreams he is still in the chair, being turned slowly and deliberately by someone standing just out of sight. He tries to plant his feet and stop it, but his body will not respond. Then, in one sudden movement, he is awake, and the chair is still turning, slowing down as though whatever had been pushing it had only just let go. Outside, the forest stays completely silent: no footsteps, no movement, nothing to explain what just happened.
