In an unpublished documentary, Natasha Kampusch reveals to be the owner of the house in which she lived hell. And she explains why…
It is a chilling story that has marked everyone. What happened to Natasha Kampusch? And what happened to the house of horrors she was held in?
We are still waiting to learn more about the murder of Leslie and Kevin. But there is no shortage of gray areas either on this older, particularly troubling affair. On March 2, 1998, Natascha Kampusch left her home in Vienna, Austria to go to school. But on the way, Wolfgang Přiklopil, a telecommunications technician, abducted the 10 year old girl. For 3096 daysshe was kidnapped by him, and found herself locked up most of the time in a 5 m2 room located in the basement, without any natural light. This cellar housed only a bed, a toilet, a sink, storage and a desk. She gradually gained her captor’s trust and could move around the whole house, a real “house of horror”.
On August 23, 2006, Natascha Kampusch was able to take advantage of the inattention of Wolfgang Přiklopil to escapewhile very few still hoped to find her alive.

A disturbing detail about Natascha Kampusch
Years later, everyone remembers his chilling story, which notably inspired the film Roomwinner of the Oscar for Best Actress in 2016. This week on TMC aired a new documentary on its history : Natascha Kampusch, the event confession: a look back at 8 years in hell.
She testifies about her living conditions at the time, about the abuse she suffered, and she confides an astonishing element: she is the owner of the house in which she lived all this.
She explains that she has owned it since 2008, but why? She explains that she sees it as a form of compensation: “It’s therapeutic for mein a particular way, to be able to spend time in the house”.
Particularly touched by the comments from the media and the public which began immediately after her release, the young woman also don’t want the house to belong to someone with bad intentions. It’s out of the question to sell it, but she doesn’t want to destroy it either, and she even continues to clean it and leave it as it was when she lived there.
