The entrance door to the house where the American actress Sharon Tate was murdered by Charles Manson's gang in 1969 has been sold at auction and has reached $127,000 (120,000 euros).

As reported by the portal specialized in celebrities TMZ.com, about 40 bidders competed for the piece. The highest bid was $127,000, when it was estimated that it would sell for between $2,000 and $4,000 (1,800 and 3,500 euros).

Musician Trent Reznor of the group Nine Inch Nails recorded an album in the famous Cielo Drive house in 1992, long after the terrible murders of 1969. Reznor ended up taking the door before the house was demolished. He took it to his recording studio in New Orleans, but left it in 2004 when he moved his studio.

From there, a doctor bought Trent's recording space and wanted to get rid of her when he found out about her story.. Then, a man named Christopher Moore bought the door from the doctor in 2017.

Finally, the door arrived at the auction house Julien's Auctions. It is not known who the new buyer of the door is.

According to TMZ.com, Sharon Tate's sister, Debra, stated that she was upset about the sale of the door, adding that it should be destroyed, given its macabre history.
