Summary
This week, we dive into the infamous Lizzie Borden case and the alleged hauntings that followed.
We explore the brutal 1892 murders of Andrew and Abby Borden in Fall River, Massachusetts, examining the tensions within the household—from Lizzie's resentment toward her stepmother to Andrew's frugal lifestyle despite his wealth.
We discuss the crime scene details, potential suspects, and the interesting fact that despite the gruesome nature of the ax murders,
Lizzie was acquitted without authorities even checking her for blood evidence. We also explore the paranormal activity reported at the Lizzie Borden house, which now serves as a museum and bed & breakfast for brave visitors.
Guests have reported seeing an older woman making beds, hearing crying through the walls, witnessing shadow figures on the stairs, and experiencing other unsettling phenomena. We share several firsthand accounts from people who stayed overnight, including "ghost moms" who set up paranormal equipment and experienced unusual activity in the attic room.
