Kampusch to auction off horror house items
By David Rogers
Cellar kidnap girl Natascha Kampusch is to auction off items from the home that was her prison for eight years, it emerged today (Thurs).
Kampusch was snatched aged ten by pervert Wolfgang Priklopil and held captive in a cellar below his garage in Strasshof near Vienna. Priklopil committed suicide hours after she escaped in 2006.
Now the 21-year-old is selling off her jailer's furniture and personal items in a bizarre auction after buying the house a year ago.
Neighbours say she has moved into the home and can often be seen lounging in the garden or taking broken furniture to a skip outside the house, Austrian magazines and newspapers report.
Kampusch originally claimed she'd bought the house to stop it becoming a sick shrine to her kidnapper. But, speaking to Vienna daily Der Standard, her spokesman Dusan Uzelac confirmed the planned sale and said the money would go to "good causes."
Kampusch also bought the BMW Priklopil fled in before jumping under a moving train on the day she fled.
Speaking about her life today, Kampusch said: "My main and favourite activity is reading. Apart from that, I love to breed cactuses. I have even managed to reproduce them."
As for her personal situation, she said: "Misinterpreted people often feel lonely."
