Lizzie Borden House, Fall River, Massachusetts, USA
Lizzie Borden claimed she found her father dead on the couch, his skull hacked to pieces with a hatchet in August of 1892. Abby Borden, Andrew’s wife and Lizzie’s stepmother, was killed in an upstairs bedroom. It sparked the 1800s version of a celebrity crime, with wealthy, young Lizzie accused of the crime. Lizzie Borden was acquitted of the crime, but her name is synonymous with “murderess.”
Visitors can tour the Borden house or stay overnight in the infamous rooms where Lizzie slept and Abby was killed. As the property owners say, “While we tell an accurate story based in the truth as we know it, we wholeheartedly embrace the macabre and provide a home for those seeking answers to the unexplained phenomena unique to this historically haunted location.”
