Bloopers and continuity errors
Either the Old House (1841 PT) never existed when Brutus Collins was alive in 1680 -OR- the lottery curse did follows the Collins family to Collinwood after the move. I wonder what room Brutus Collins is referencing when the lottery curse started in 1680? How did the Collins family negotiate with the lottery curse entity in 1797, after the move to Collinwoodto have the curse moved to Collinwood Tower room? I know this is the 1841 PT but the main events in all timelines seemed to be consist, so we have to assume the move from the Old House (1841 PT) to the new Collinwood was 117 years after Brutus Collins 1680 letter.
