This post from the Winchester Mystery House
Instagram speaks for itself. That happens to be an original Houdini poster!
This beautiful lithograph was displayed at the Winchester Mystery House's museum in the 1950s-60's. It was their way of honoring Houdini's famous 1924 visit and the fact that Houdini himself suggested the name "Mystery House." But at some point, it slipped into storage and was forgotten. It was rediscovered several years ago and put back on display in their cafe. But Covid closed the cafe, and the poster was once again out of public view. But now he's back! Worth the price of admission alone.
An annotated newspaper clipping that Houdini mailed to the House after his visit is currently not on display. That is kept in their archives.
I got a nice look at both these rarities when I visited the Winchester House to shoot my
Ghost Adventures interview last year. I've shared photos on my Patreon below.
