get rid of the chair or burn it or something? that's almost the very first thing i would have done (assuming i would have even stayed in that ratty old house)
shareThat might not be enough. However, I woulda gotten rid of that nasty old thing for being so ugly.
shareBecause Bill wasn't haunting the house. His apparition was being manipulated by Valak to torment Ed and Lorraine, as well as the family.
shareWho said anything about Bill or Valak?
shareThey were suggesting burning Bill's old chair would get rid of his spirit.
sharePerhaps OP merely meant that the chair was so awful, haunting or not, that they should have burned it anyway.
shareYeah I agree. While I highly enjoy James Wan's films, I feel like he goes overboard sometimes with the visuals: the rotting walls in the houses, the Annabelle doll in Conjuring 1 (which in real life with just a Raggedy Ann doll). It's just a little too much suspension of disbelief. As in, why the heck aren't these people freaked out by this stuff?
shareAccording to what some people have said even if you get rid of the object, the spirit is already attached itself to the house and the people in it. So, at a certain point it just becomes too late to just burn it or get rid of it.
shareI agree; get rid of that thing! Even if Peggy didn't believe it was "haunted," I'd think the negative connotations - and that's putting it mildly - associated with it would be plenty of incentive to burn it to ashes.
