Investigating some of the "reportedly" most haunted locations in America...
murder cases in American history. On the morning of August 4th, 1892 Andrew Borden and his wife Abby were brutally murdered with an axe in their Fall River home. Suspicion immediately focused on their 32 year old daughter Lizzie who was eventually charged with the murders. She would spend ten months in jail awaiting trial before she was acquitted of all charges. Despite some circumstantial evidence that pointed towards Lizzie, the jury took less than 90 minutes to deliberate and reach their verdict. There are many theories as to who may have murdered Andrew and Abby and why. Did Lizzie murder her father and step mother and if so, why? Or was it someone else who had an issue to settle with Mr. Borden?
Financial gain for both Lizzie and her sister Emma who would inherit their father's estate, valued after an adjustment of inflation to be that of 7 million. There had been extreme tension in the household for months. It was no secrect that both Emma and Lizzie did not have close relationships with their stepmother Abby. Another angle to be explored was Lizzie's odd behavior before and after the murders. Lizzie had been seen attempting to buy poisonous prussic acid, ostensibly for cleaning purposes, just before the murders which made many Suspicious. Lizzie also admitted to burning a paint-stained dress just days after the murders. Alice Russell, a friend of Lizzie cautioned her against doing so. Was it blood on that dress? Last, Lizzie displayed many inconsistent answers when questioned by investigators of the day of the murders. of Andrew and Abby were presented as evidence, Lizzie fainted in court, gaining sympathy from the many. With no hard evidence to present, it took the jury just 90 minutes to declare Lizzie NOT GUILTY. to be very haunted as well. Reports of hearing the sound of a woman weeping, footsteps, muffled conversations in different parts of the house are common. An apparition of a woman dusting has been seen as well as the imprint of a human body form on a freshly made bed within minutes of checking into a room. Doors open and close often unexplained. Many mediums pick up on the strong presence of Mr. Borden in the house. location. Needless to say, we were very excited. All of us had different theories on the crime, was Lizzie innocent or guilty? If she did not commit the murders, who did and why?
