Ep 22: The Other Borden

Before the infamous axe ever fell on Second Street, a darker shadow loomed over the Borden family name. In this haunting episode, we uncover the long-buried story of Eliza Borden—Lizzie’s aunt by marriage—who committed an unthinkable act decades before the infamous murders. After suffering what may have been a devastating mental break, Eliza took the lives of her two young children before ending her own in a tragic scene that played out in the cellar of their home. Join us as we explore the forgotten history, the possible role of postpartum psychosis, and the lingering whispers that suggest the spirits of Eliza and her children have never truly left.
