- In 1969, one of the most famous murders in history shocked the nation. The Manson Murders dominated the headlines with the Sharon Tate murders. The bed that house guest Abigail Folger was using has hit the auction block. Along with the auction of the bed is a bill of sale from Rudi Altobelli and the book Helter Skelter signed by the author Vincent Bugliosi. This auction will be held on February 10th 2017.
A bed frame that was once in the house where actress Sharon Tate and four others were murdered by members of the Manson family sold tonight for $14,000 at a Social Circle auction house.
The winning bidder, who was doing her bidding over the phone, was reportedly a huge Tate fan.
Tate, an American actress and model in the 1960s, married Polanski, her director and co-star in the 1967 “The Fearless Vampire Killers,” in January 1968. She was killed in 1969 by members of the Manson Family at 10050 Cielo Drive, in Los Angeles, California.
On Saturday, Aug. 9, 1969 Tate, along with four others, was murdered by members of the Manson Family in the Cielo Drive home.
Abigail Folger, heiress to the Folger coffee fortune, was sitting on the infamous bed when the killers arrived to the house. Susan Atkins, who was later convicted of the murders, walked down the hall and Folger looked up at her, smiled and waved hello, thinking she was someone’s friend.
The bed frame was the centerpiece for Ole Hound Auction House’s first-ever oddities auction Feb. 10. It was sold as lot No. 100.
Included in the lot was the actual walnut antique bed, a hand written and signed bill of sale from Altibelli, a copy of a letter to Altibelli from Vincent Bugliosi - the Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney who successfully prosecuted Charles Manson and the Manson Family members - thanking him for his testimony in the Manson case and a copy of the book “Helter Skelter,” in which the bed is pictured and mentioned.
Kris Clark, owner of Ole Hound Auction House, in Social Circle, said he was contacted by someone who had recently moved to Georgia that wanted to downsize their furniture collection.
Kris Clark told the consigner that “anything weird” would bring in good value for an auction. That is when she mentioned the bed from the Cielo Drive home.
Ole Hound Auction House is located at 179 Highway 11 South, in Social Circle. For more information about the auction or upcoming auctions, contact the auction house at 706-474-3443. - บันเทิง
That's kinda morbid, who would want that bed
Someone who loves the woodwork and isn't spooked by the history.
Kyle Simpson me! It's beautiful.
Sabrina Dugan That's right
Very interesting. Still a shame they tore down Sharon's house. Thanks George.
It had to have weirdos just popping up there tho
They tore it down because weirdos kept going there like a pilgrimage to manson
Pardon my French, but I find it very disrespectful to both the victims and their families that people are still making money off their deaths. I would have a better respect for whoever buys this bed if they gave it to one of Abigail's family members.
I’m pretty sure Abigails family wouldn’t want to see it. I don’t know the answer. But definetly no money should be made off Abigails death.
Wonder where it was for all these years and how did it wind up in Social Circle, Georgia?
That rabbit was in some studio pics of Sharon. Kind of creepy perched on top of the headboard.
It wouldn’t be creepy if they weren’t all murdered.
Why won't people just let these people who died a very horrible death
Just let these people rest in peace
This whole thing has kept Charles Manson famous
That's the shame
I know that Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails got the front door from the house and it is now his door at his house in New Orleans.
VERY PRETTY BED
George evidently loves this Rachmaninoff piece. It was appropriated and repurposed for the movie Somewhere in Time. I like it, too.
That bed frame has too many memories one of them was tragic. Who would want a bed frame like that after who owned it and after what happened to them, even for Abigail Folger
I would have bought it. It’s a piece of history.
Omg 🤦♀️
Is very sad😢
It's a beautiful looking bed just curious why her family wouldn't want to keep it
i love the movie this song comes from
Somewhere in time!!!!
Great movie!!
😎👍
No money should ever be made off any of the victims deaths. As if they haven’t suffered enough indignity. Death is very personal and it should be treated with pure respect. And these deaths were particularly painful and the suffering extreme. I do r know what should be done with this bed. But it shouldn’t have money made from it as Abigails. Poor darling girl. She was only 25. Just respect her 🙏
Who would want a murder bed??
what is the name of the song?
The name of the song is "The Old Woman" for the sound track to the movie "Somewhere in Time."
The only thing that’s spooky is the rabbit on the bed.
Yes it is creepy THE RABBIT WAS PERCHED ON TOP WHEN MURDERS WERE GOING ON. IT HAS ONE EAR DOWN AS THOUGH IT WITNESS HORRORS THAT NIGHT. THE RABBIT WAS FOUND THAT WAY WHEN BODYS WERE DISCOVERED.
It’s not at all. It’s a stuffed toy. My kids rooms are full of them. On their bed heads as well. It’s only creepy because their was murders there. Otherwise it would be normal and sweet.
😢
Sold for 14k.... Its not that nice.... First I thought Zac from Ghost Adventures bought it but no he bought some of Mansons ashes and the LaBianca house on Waverly WTF is wrong with people ... Then there's an Auction of all of Sharon Tates clothes ! Funny how all this happened around the same time "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood "was released .......$$$$
That is Sharon in the pic 0:49...Abigail or Sharon's bed?
Sharon’s I guess but Abigail was staying there
I'd have bought it!
somebody goofed, that bed frame should have been hauled off to the local dump.
That frame is an antique. You don't appreciate fine furniture? No one was murdered in it.
I wudnt want anything from that house. I wud b afraid it wud b haunted. 😳
