In 1892, the brutal murders of Andrew and Abby Borden shocked the small town of Fall River, Massachusetts and turned Lizzie Borden into one of the most infamous figures in American history. More than a century later, the mystery surrounding the axe murders continues to fascinate true crime enthusiasts and paranormal investigators alike.

In this episode, we explore the timeline of the murders, the evidence presented at Lizzie’s trial, and the many theories that have emerged over the years. We also dive into the alleged hauntings of the former Borden home, now a popular destination for ghost hunters, where visitors and staff have reported unexplained paranormal activity. Was Lizzie Borden truly responsible for the murders, and do the spirits of the past still linger within the house? Join us as we uncover one of America’s most notorious crimes and the eerie legends that continue to surround it.
