WARNING: EXPLICIT MATERIAL
Lizzie Borden is infamous for being the prime suspect in the double murder of their father and step-mother. She was tried and acquitted and no one else was charged in the murders. The murders and trial received widespread publicity throughout the United States and, along with Borden herself, they remain a topic in American popular culture to the present day. They have been depicted in numerous films, theatrical productions, literary works, and folk rhymes, and are still very well-known in the Fall River area.
Fun Fact
After the murders took place and the police investigation was completed, a medical examiner came to the house and performed the autopsies in the stifling dining room on the dining table. After they were done the bodies were removed and Lizzie went up to her bedroom for a good nights sleep in the blood-soaked house.
The home where the murders took place is now a bed-and-breakfast and offers standard tours during the day and a deluxe, fully detail reenactment of the crimes and the aftermath for overnight guest. It is highly recommended that you book several months in advance and six months in advance for special occasions. And in case you were wondering – yes the house is extremely haunted with verified paranormal activity caught on video.
Spoiler alert – Lizzie did it.
