Lizzie Borden

Lizzie Borden took an axe,
And gave her mother forty whacks,
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.

These are the lyrics that were sung about Lizzie Borden's Murders, in 1892
She was acquitted of the murders. above all the evidence that piled up against her.. Because her clothing wasn't dishevelled and they could not find the murder weapon she was found Not Guilty.






.

Apparently she had hit her Step Mother with an axe until dead and then went down stairs and Killed her Father also with the axe. 29 whacks all up not the 41 in the poem.

The House itself is said to be haunted by Lizzie Bordens ghost, and also of children, Looking into the history of the house, Lizzie's Aunt had also murdered 2 of her children, she drowned them, her 3rd child survived the drowning..
Many say the house is cursed with demons, or the very least cursed with negative energy..
In the scientific world you would say there is a Genetic defect in the make up of the Bordens, to drive them to Murder.
Whatever the case, This house has had its fair share of sadness. Even without a ghost occupying the house the energy of all the anger, sadness and horrors would seep into its walls. Leaving a residue that would be unbearable for anyone that is sensitive to that type of thing..

I am a huge fan of Ghost Adventures so I will post up their investigation of the Lizzie Borden house.








Here is also a cool website with the case of Lizzie Borden if you want to read about the case any further.

Great post, DB! I have also always been intrigued by LB and Jack the Ripper....mystery's indeed....lol! I'll watch the clip later!

Funny You should say Jack the Ripper, he was next LOL!!
A couple of the locations where the bodies were found are said to be haunted by the tormented victims, and Residual energy is rife.
Just got to compile some Public Domain pictures of it all and I will post him up next

Ha ha ha....call me psychic or maybe psycho as my brother says....lmao!! Cool!

I've got this book *The Cases That Haunt Us, by John Douglas and Mark Olshaker* requested at the library......lot's of good cases in there that catch peeps imaginations!

Looking forward to your post, DB!!

Hi, I went to school right near Fall River in New Bedford; it is along the bus route into NB. I never actually visited the house, though - she looks as though she could be related to my family though I am hoping at a distance!

you know, this house is now a B&B. My husband so wants to visit this B&B and stay there. he loves this sort of thing--and everywhere we go to visit--he looks to see if there is a B&B that is haunted.

If we do go, I'll be sure to let ya'll know what happens-------if...........

Hi Noodle.. I would love to be in your suit case LOL!!

I watched an episode of Ghost Adventures Yesterday , from Season 5 and they had a psychic Medium on there, claiming that the reason for the murders of Lizzie Bordens Father and Step Mother is Incest.
And not money orientated..

You being Medium Yourself , it would be interesting to see what you get,
But apparently the Father's spirit is not so nice, Be alert and careful if you decided to tune in.
Let us all know when you are going xxx
