The Lizzie Borden House is located in Fall River, Massachusetts. It still stands to this day as a constant reminder of the atrocities that were committed there. Here is a little information on the house. The Borden sisters, Lizzie and Emma, lived in the upstairs portion of the house. The rear of the upstairs was inhabited by Andrew and Abby Borden, the mother and father who were found so brutally murdered in their own home. Lizzie and her stepmother, it’s well known, had a falling out with each other 6 years before the Lizzie Borden murders took place. Instead of calling her “Mother”, as she always had in the past, Lizzie began calling her “Mrs. Borden” or “my father’s wife” instead. It was hurtful to Abby (Lizzie’s stepmother), for Lizzie to call her by the name “Mrs. Borden”. She was very broken up about it. There always seemed to be conflict in the family about who was going to get what portion of the family’s estate when Abby and Andrew had both passed. Ultimately, it led to Lizzie and her sister, Emma, to take extended “vacations” away from the Borden household. It’s well known that in the years before the murders, Lizzie had attempted to purchase cyanide from a local druggist. The druggist, of course, out of responsibility to his profession, refused. Lizzie proclaimed it was to clean a seal skin suit, but many people still have doubts about the validity of Lizzie’s claim. What normal girl attempts to purchase cyanide, of all things? Just before the slaughter occurred, the entire Borden family was stricken with sickness and became violently ill. Why and how has still not been proven to this day, but most people think it’s because the Borden family was very much disliked by the people of Fall River. The Lizzie Borden house haunted many people’s thoughts and dreams for years, they just couldn’t believe what had happened. The Lizzie Borden house is well known to be haunted and many people have reported paranormal experiences here. Just what makes the house so haunted? Many people believe there is a direct correlation between the murders and the unexplained events that happen at night. You could find out for yourself, but do you dare bring more publicity to spirits that would rather be left alone? We’ll leave that up to you… Lizzie Borden Murders from the website Haunted places in America
