Hello, and welcome everyone. Today we have part 2 of the Lizzie Borden story, so get ready.
I might just be telling you how to meet Lizzie herself.
Oh, so spooky. But on a serious note, let's go.
The Lizzie Borden home is more than just a historical cite these days. The house serves as a bed-and-breakfast for those wanting to contact the Borden family and has been a focal point in the paranormal community.

Self-proclaimed Medium, Maureen Wood, and self-proclaimed paranormal scientist, Ron Kolek, have reported several incidents there. The article I read about them said self-proclaimed, which made me skeptical. Then again, who exactly is in charge of appointing Mediums? Like do they go to Medium school? Is there tuition?
Anyway, they aren't the only people to experience activity in the Borden home.
Many guests have reported hearing a woman weeping late at night, which is just the eeriest fucking thing. You're in and out of sleep in the room that Abby was hacked to death when you start to hear faint weeping. No, thank you. Bang on the walls, all you want, but please, no crying in the darkness.
I'm also a Capricorn and don't so well with people crying. Like what the hell am I suppose to do, especially if it's a ghost?
Guests have also reported seeing their shoes move across the floor.
Why?
There are children spirits in the home, so maybe they're playing a joke.
Haha, try to put on your shoes now, Karen.
Lights will also turn on and off, banging on walls, investigators have noted their equipment tampered with, and every few months, the fire alarm will just go off for no reason at 3 am.
Lyndsey Matthews wrote an article about her stay in the home that was pretty interesting (check it out in sources). She mentioned the fire alarm that sometimes goes off. I want to say it's the children again. Maybe they're just bored. Though people often bring toys with them when they come, still, nothing beats a good prank. Especially at 3 am in a murder house.
The creepiest thing guests have reported is (get ready for this), an older woman tucking them in at night.

NO, THANK YOU! That is just the creepiest thing!

That was all I could find on that experience, which was strange. I would think people would go in detail about being tucked in by a fucking ghost, but no. If anyone can find the details, please post them. I need answers.
Moving on.
A woman drowned her two children in a well before hanging herself on the Borden property.
I just there that one at you, sorry.
Warning this story contains dead children. I mean, the ghosts had to come from somewhere.
Now, that's just rude. Don't kill your children in the neighbor's well. Please don't kill them at all but definitely not there.
This is where the ghost children come from, and they like to hang out in the attic because they're ghosts and why the fuck not?
They like hearing stories, so investigators will often bring books to read to them.
I could totally do that job.
Tye, what do you do for a living?
I read books to ghost children who might actually be demons seeking attention.
But for real, people think that children's ghosts don't exist because children are too pure to get stuck here. Honestly, I think we want to believe that because they are children and it wouldn't be fair- that they died too young and innocent to be trapped forever in the in-between.
To follow that depressing bit-
What is a ghost story without Zak Bagans?
Not as dramatic, that's for sure. But seriously, he's so over-the-top and 2000s that it kills me.
With that being said, the team got a LOT of activity. Sure, it could be fake, everything could be false, but what if it isn't. It's creepy as fuck.
Like all Ghost Adventure episodes, Bagans thinks there is a "strong demonic presence in the home." Can't you just hear him say that all dramatic and slow, looking dead into the camera?
Bagans suggests that something dark lives on the property and was attached to the Borden family. Why? Because there were more than the murders of Abby and Andrew Borden at 230 2nd Street, in Fall River, Massachusetts.
I'm sorry, but it's always a dark demonic spirit with Bagans. Nope, no Caspers here, just fucking Beelzebub.
So, where does this demon hang out? The basement, of course.

I fucking hate basements.
Anyway, Bagans brought in a Medium who said the same thing. The Medium also mentioned that the energy was attached to the Borden family, killing each other brutally. It wasn't one wack to the head, and no, it wasn't 40, but 17. That's still overkilling, and everyone noted Lizzie's calmness or resting bitch face. Bagans thinks Lizzie had to of been possessed. Maybe that's why she had so many stories; the energy was messing with her head.
I'm not saying I buy it, but I also don't know. Anything is possible.
In a Spirit Box session, the spirits of Abby and Andrew Borden come through. Honestly, the team got a LOT of activity from something highly intelligent.
If you have seen any ghost hunting show, you probably have seen them use light to communicate. They ask the spirit yes/no questions in which the spirit can manipulate the light in response. It's pretty cool.
Anyway, when asked who killed them, they replied- Lizzie.
But was it really her or was she possessed? We might never know.
One last thing-
In the Ghost Adventure's episode, the woman who killed her children was Andrew Borden's sister, who lived in the house. Also, she slit her throat instead of hanging herself.
Regardless of the backstory, there are still two children ghosties chilling upstairs of the Borden home. People often hear them playing and experience toys moving.
Anyway, that's about all I have on this story. I hope you enjoyed this two-parter because I did.
