The Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast
Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast

In October of 2005, my wife and I spent the night at the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast in Fall River, Massachusetts. I did not plan on doing an investigation, but simply wanted to cross it off my “Things to do before I die” checklist.

After the tour of the house we were heading to bed, when I noticed 3 other guests sitting in the dark in the “sitting room” on the first floor. I asked if they were going to sleep and they said they were going to stay up and wait for “something to happen”. So my wife went up to bed and I of course had to stay up with them. My decision in no way had to do with that they were all blondes.

Before I go any further ,let me give you a very brief history of the Lizzie Borden story: On August 4,1892.Andrew Borden and his wife (Lizzies step- mother) Abby were brutally (is there any other way?) murdered in broad daylight. Abby was murdered in an upstairs bedroom (the one we stayed in).She was struck in the head with an axe 18 times. Her husband Andrew was killed in the same way but struck 11 times.

While the circumstantial evidence all pointed to their daughter Lizzie who was 32 and home at the time and who claims not to have heard or seen anything, she was found not guilty at trial, probably due to lack of physical evidence. Since her death the house has been haunted with guests seeing ghostly figures and hearing voices etc

Back to my story; At approximately 10pm we were all sitting in the living room waiting for “something to happen!”. I got tired of this and went to my car and grabbed my tape recorder and camera. We went into the kitchen to get some coffee and were joined by owner Lee-ann.I placed the recorder on the counter top and got some EVP's.

I ASKED IF ANYONE WAS HERE AND GOT THIS WHICH I BELIEVE IS SAYING "GET OUT"

Later that night I was taking pictures in the basement on the area believed to be the spot where Lizzie hid her bloody clothes and disposed on her axe. I believe this image on the basement wall might be of Lizzies father Andrew. .
