Ep 5. Ghost In The Closet and More

In the latest episode of Mysteries at the Museum, viewers are taken on a journey through some of the most fascinating and mysterious artifacts from history. In "Ghost In The Closet and More," host Don Wildman guides us through a collection of items that are rumored to be haunted, cursed, or otherwise imbued with supernatural powers.

The episode kicks off with a visit to the elaborate and ornate Winchester Mystery House in California. Built by Sarah Winchester, the widow of firearm magnate William Winchester, this sprawling mansion is said to be haunted by the spirits of those killed by Winchester rifles. Don explores the mansion's many staircases to nowhere, doors that open onto walls, and intricate details that seem to have no practical purpose.

From there, we visit the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum, where a simple wooden cabinet holds a terrifying secret. It turns out that this cabinet was once used by a doctor to store human body parts, and the museum's staff claim that it's haunted by the ghosts of the people whose limbs and organs were once stored there.

The next stop on our tour of spooky artifacts takes us to the National Museum of American History, where Don examines a curious artifact from the early days of the telephone. It seems that Alexander Graham Bell's invention was not without controversy, as other inventors claimed that they had come up with the same idea first. This artifact, which appears to be a simple bamboo stick, may be the key to unlocking the mystery of who really invented the telephone.

Finally, we visit the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia, where a bizarre and horrifying exhibit is on display. This room is filled with medical oddities and specimens, including preserved human bodies and skulls. Don investigates the story behind this collection, and discovers that it was once owned by a medical doctor who was known for his work preserving human remains.

Throughout the episode, Don provides historical context and fascinating anecdotes about each of these artifacts, helping to illuminate the mysteries and legends that surround them. Whether you're a skeptic or a true believer in the supernatural, "Ghost In The Closet and More" is sure to pique your interest and keep you on the edge of your seat.
