MURDERS THAT HAUNT: The Case of Lizzie Borden & The Victims That Never Really Left

In the latest instalment of Murders That Haunt, Yvette Fielding turns her attention to one of the most infamous and unresolved criminal cases in American history.Fall River, Massachusetts, 1892.On a sweltering August morning, wealthy businessman Andrew Borden and his wife Abby were found brutally murdered inside their own home.Their daughter Lizzie was tried, acquitted, and never charged again.The case was never solved.But something, it seems, has never left that house on Second Street.This week, Yvette explores the full story of Lizzie Borden: the woman, the trial, the mystery.Before stepping into the paranormal legacy that has made the Borden house one of the most investigated locations in the United States.From the heavy, deliberate footsteps that climb the staircase and stop dead on the landing, eerily mirroring Abby Borden's final moments, to the unexplained indentations that appear on the bed in the very room where she was slaughtered: the reports from guests and investigators are as unsettling as the murders themselves.We look at the sightings of a silent woman in Victorian dress, the curious presence that moves objects and leaves guests with a creeping sensation of being watched from just over their shoulder, and the haunting detail that perhaps says it all: someone was in that house, and nobody could prove who.Joining the case files of Mary Blandy, Al Capone, Mary Ann Cotton, Amelia Dyer, H.H. Holmes and The Corned Beef Killer Ethel Major, Lizzie Borden takes her place in the series as a woman history couldn't convict, and a house that refuses to forget.Lock the doors and make sure you don't go upstairs alone!A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.
