EP:43 Lizzie Borden

Did Lizzie Borden really take an axe? In this episode of Hauntmates, Jeffrey digs into the 1892 murders of Andrew and Abby Borden, the evidence against Lizzie, and why a jury found her not guilty. We also separate the real case from the “40 whacks” rhyme and Netflix’s Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story.Then we step inside the Borden house: what visitors say they’ve experienced, which stories are hard to verify, and why the house remains a destination for ghost hunters. Was Lizzie guilty, wrongly accused, or has the most important part of the story been lost to legend?
