Do we know it has been closed off since Vera Moray's departure from the Institue, or at least for many years? Unless there is something specific to indicate otherwise, for all we know that area could have been closed off for no more than a year or two, or even a few months, and before that would have been used as a convenient place to store things you don't know where else to put, like the belongings of ex-patients or an ugly painting your wife bought from an old geezer at the harbor.

Or it could be a nod to Granny Rag's unfathomable, supernatural powers. If that woman owned a self-portrait of a young, aspiring student at the Academy of Natural Philosophy, and if it stayed with her long enough or she took an interest, I wouldn't put it past her to have that painting age with the subject or behave in other odd ways.

@Geist: What elements of the Time Capsule did you find make no sense? The only odd one I could find was the light that's still on after fifteen years, but that too can be explained away.
