Summary

Fall River, Massachusetts has quite a dark history, with its most infamous tale being the 1892 axe murders at the Borden house. Lizzie Borden was accused, but acquitted of brutally killing her father and stepmother, and it seems that their ghosts have stuck around long enough to attract visitors from all over the world to the scene of the crime. But what many don't realize is that the trail of death and hauntings goes far beyond the Lizzie Borden House. Tonight we'll try to put as many pieces of this complicated and terrifying puzzle together, as we dive into the history and hauntings of the Lizzie Borden house, Maplecroft mansion, Oak Grove cemetery and more.
