I heard once a year the Animal Rescue League puts flowers on her grave. She supposedly left a lot of money to the organization in her will.

i love visiting places with you. i have severe anxiety and hardly ever go anywhere unless i absolutely have to. thank you

A creepy detail I found out...Elizabeth Montgomery was actually distantly related to Lizzie Borden. She didn't know it at the time of the filming of "The Legend of Lizzie Borden", but she was actually her 6th cousin, twice removed. *shivers!*

One interesting fact: Lizzie was an early advocate for animals. She rescued many and dedicated a lot of her money for the cause. Many of the parties that she held at Maplecroft were actually fundraisers for animal rights organizations. Another interesting fact: Lizzie's uncle (her mother's brother) lived next door to them and he killed his own children. That family had some real issues.

Lizzie and Emma didn't live together until they died. They had a personal issue around 1909 and never spoke to each other again. Yet they died within days of each other in 1927

Lizzie died of pneumonia on June 1, 1927, in Fall River. The day Lizzie died, Emma had an accident and broke her hip. She died due to chronic nephritis, 9 days later, on June 10, 1927. The Borden sisters, along with the rest of the family, are buried side by side at the family plot in 'Oak Grove Cemetery,' Fall River.

I literally live less than a mile from that court house in New Bedford didn’t even know till I looked it up

Love this place, I stayed at this B&B back in the 90s and slept in Lizzies room. I wasn't afraid at all since the house was so beautiful. Loved the hatchet pancakes for breakfast. Also toured the cemetery and the cool gift shop.

While attending my grandmother's funeral there, I asked the caretaker where Lizzie was buried. He said "Not with the family." When I asked why he told us it was because people through the years "tampered" with her grave. So everyone knows she's not where she is supposed to be, she had been moved - but nobody knows to where. True or not, it was interesting.

Lizzie Borden spent 10 months in Taunton Jail. I live in Taunton, MA and there is so much history in this area. Famous serial killer nurse Jane Toppan is buried in a Potters Field grave at Mayflower Hill Cemetary in Taunton, MA. Keep up the amazing work that you guys provide for us.

The folks who previously owned Maplecroft did so much work getting it back to the way it looked when Lizzie lived there. They wanted to make it another bed and breakfast but had troubles with things, not exactly sure what, but hopefully whoever buys it will not change anything and maybe try to do the b&b themselves.

I was born in Fall River and I remember visiting the house back in the 80s. I have a lot of fond memories of growing up in the area. Thank you for a wonderful video.

Lizzie was ostracized from polite society/ her social circle, after the court case. She did go live high up on the hill with actors and actresses as her only friends, which was frowned on in good society. Actors were looked down upon.

While they did not live together in their older years, they died at almost the same time. Emma left Maplecroft early on since she was not happy with Lizzy’s lifestyle. Emma moved to Vermont I believe.

I grew up in the town across the river, Lizzie Borden has always been a big staple of spooky story telling ever since I was a kid! Love the video guys edit: if you want something else to look into down here I recommend the "Bridgewater triangle" its an area in south eastern Massachusetts where a lot of paranormal and occult things have been known to occur.

Elizabeth Montgomery played the part of Lizzy in a TV movie. Really well done.

Quick correction...Emma lived at the Maplecroft house only for a short time, as she was firmly against Lizzie's lesbian friends and 'acquaintances' that frequented the house. Also, you can read the actual transcript from the trial...there's a book written verbatim from it. 'The Trial of Lizzie Borden' if I'm not mistaken. Their Uncle that visited and spent the night before the murders was the only other person (IMHO) that was a legitimate suspect.

Even though you couldn't film inside the house the pictures were still pretty awesome. Thanks for a fascinating tour. Happy Halloween!! 💀🖤🎃

Always been fascinated by Lizzie Borden. Would love to visit her house, unfortunately I live in the UK, so I'm relying on you guys to visit them for me 😁 Also, love your knowledge and facts you put into the videos too. Can't wait for the next xx

Have you considered returning to Florida to visit the sites relating to Aileen Wuornos?

I have always been very interested in the Lizzie Borden case. I am on the fence if she's guilty or not. I am with Jessica. If she did it she had help or was the help. Thank you Michael and Jessica for sharing this amazing trip you are on. Happy Halloween!

I’ve stayed overnight in the room where her stepmother was found hacked to bits. Happy holidays you two!

We just got back today from a visit to the gravesite and house (from the mid-Hudson Valley), fantastic place, fascinating tour, one of history's rabbit holes-the more you know, the more you want to learn. Thank you Grimmlifers for this video. You're the best!

One of my favorite legends , beautiful pictures of Lizzie's home. You guys are the best !

I believe she did it! But she was more than likely an ongoing victim of incest! Whoever did it must have had alot of rage in them to kill like that, in such a up close and personal way! She probably harbored a lot resentment towards the stepmother also, who knew about it and did nothing about it! I'm glad she was acquitted! No one talked about that stuff in 1892!

I was stationed in Newport, RI not long ago and I took my daughter to the Borden house. Very surreal place. Beautiful house, terrible history. Love y’alls videos!

Cant believe Zak Bagans hasn't bought it yet

Great job with Lizzie's story! Enjoyed the video! The main reason Lizzie got off was the phrase "guilty beyond reasonable doubt"! Even though many things maybe pointed to Lizzie, nothing directly tied her to the murders. They had to let her go. They could not take her life on "maybe she did it". Back then, many men, (jurors), did not believe a woman could commit such violent murders. Elizabeth Montgomery's portrayal in the tv-movie of how Lizzie could have done it is very plausible!

u two both will always be my favorite KZfaqrs 😊 without u guys my life will be not as happy u are both great by the way I'm always been obsessed about the borden family couldn't get enough

Boy did you do “us” proud! Us Fall Riverites! Stock full of fact and so respectful of the facts. We loved your footage. You were in our backyard practically. If we had seen you; we absolutely would have offered you a cup of my homemade Mutton soup 🍜.

In a little more than a week, we're doing a jury trial at that courthouse in New Bedford. I am SO excited! I have never been to Massachusetts and I'm stoked that my first time will be in Lizzie Borden town. Cheers!

The autopsy pictures were WOW. I hadn't really considered what the bodies would look like and the picture of her father on the table...his face, or what remained...wow...

Your videos really open up opportunities for those of us in other Countries to visit location previously out of reach! You are inspiration to myself and others into doing location documentaries, thanks to you I have now started my own channel! Keep up the good work guys! 😃

That was lizzies bedroom at one time. But she convinced Emma to switch rooms with her. At the time of the murder Lizzie had the larger room. Emma slept in the small adjoining room.

Thanks for this video! Seth Borden is a youtuber on here that does ghost investiogations with his brother Chase Borden they are fifth cousins of the Borden family on their fathers side. Also Elizabeth Montegomery who starred as Lizzie Borden in a movie from the past is also a cousin of Lizzies.

I did the tour back in October. The tour guide I had was amazing!!! The one thing that the tour did do was make me think differently about pears 🍐 🤔 LOL.... I do agree that it's like a who done it type of mystery. I've been trying to get a few friends to rent the house with me to do a ghost tour next year. I'd love to walk around at night to see if anything happens. Next time I go up there I plan to visit Maplecroft.

The hands in the window at 15.10 freaked me out if I'm honest 😳

Elizabeth Montgomery was sixth cousins with Lizzie Borden, but she was unaware of that fact, even when she portrayed Lizzie in the 1975 film. It was discovered after Montgomery had passed. Fascinating.

I have never visited the Lizzie Borden place but I would really love to, as I am also interested in things like you and Jessica are.. My 2nd cousin is Elizabeth Montgomery who played Lizzie Borden in the movie and I have always been in Awe of her portraying Lizzie.. Very Awesome video once again👍Kudos to Michael and Jessica, you are so much Fun to watch😘

Im a borden by blood and i gotta say that watching this was amazing, pictures of the house and how you explained it all Fun Fact : in the 1960s when my mom was a teenager that house was a private residence, she lived there until martha Mcquinn bought it and transformed it into a B&B During that time she had run ins with spirits, Her bedroom was andrew and abbeys room and she supposedly saw Abbey walking from the ajoining room which was her dressing room in 1892 into the bedroom

Looking forward to this one! Happy SpooksGiving!

I’ve been avidly waiting for this video and you both did not disappoint. Lizzie (her name was actually Elizabeth) Borden changed her name after the murders to Lizbeth, I guess to try and distance herself from the tragedy. Fun fact: Elizabeth Montgomery was related (distance cousins) to Lizzie. As for whodunnit? I think Lizzie did commit the crimes, possibly in collusion with the maid. It’s interesting to note that had Andrew died before Abby, his estate would have passed to her and then, with her own death, to her relatives and not to the Borden girls.

Lizzy Borden was also a pretty good metal band in the 80s, Give Em The Axe and Me Against The World were popular songs back then.

The ghost of Lizzie?! 15:08 And fyi, folks, they are asking $890,000 for Maplecroft. Could be a nice B & B for tourists.

15:15 the window being opened when Jessica was saying she thought Lizzie had a hand in the murders creeped me out lol

I hope one day I will meet someone that will love me like they love each other and I get to travel with them to spooky spots.

I was born in Fall River, Ma. and share the same birthday as Lizzie Borden, July 19. I am friends with the former long time owners of the 2nd St. house and more recently the French St, house, Donald Woods and Lee-Ann Wilbur. Unfortunately Lee-Ann recently passed away right after selling them.

Michael you and Jessica put out awesome videos. Hope to see ya Dec 5th.

Another well done tour. Always interesting in your technique. Another Haunt you may be interested in visiting is Jefferson, Texas. The Diamond Bessie murder took place there and at the time of the trial (1877) it was as sensational as the O.J. Simpson trial in the US. Her grave is worth a visit in a very historic graveyard. Several of the hotels there are reputably haunted. My favorite's the Excelsior, built in the 1850s, and from first hand experience I believe it. There's even a nightly ghost walk tour visiting all of the saloons and brothels from the hell raising days. A beautiful well kept town.

I was there back in 2010. It felt weird being in the actual spots where her father and step mom were killed. Maplecroft really is a nice looking house. That’s where the kids would stand outside yelling that rhyme at her towards the house.

I love reading or watching anything concerning Lizzie Borden. I’m jealous you got to go see the house. I hope to get there some day. Very cool!

You guys have had me hooked sense the lynyrd skynyrd location ...mad respect guys your channel is awesome keep up the GOUL WORK LOL

I have known modern day relatives of the family. Based on their temperament, I would say she did it (by having somebody else do the heavy lifting so to speak) Even if they had hard evidence, she rightfully should have been acquitted as they had her drugged out of her mind on morphine to "keep her calm". Growing up near Fall River, I have always been fascinated with this case. I even did a video on this, thanks for giving the story justice.

Beautiful home but the winters are more intense than in NYC, especially the heavy snow storms.

This video is amazing! I love how on her grave there's a pair. "Lizzie Bordon took an axe gave her mother 18 whacks when she saw what she had done gave her father 10 plus 1"

I get so happy when you upload! I love your nails, I’m a nail tech :) and artist. You guys bring so much joy and education, I love it. Happy thanksgiving 🦃🍁

I've seen a couple of your videos now. I think they are great. The respect and dignity, in which you communicate your knowledge is so great. Looking forward to see more videos.

The “Obscurities” Podcast did an excellent episode on this topic. The truth is still bone chilling.

OMG YES! I was just watching a doco on Lizzie and was hoping you'd both check out the house in the future!! You both are legit the most awesome couple ever! Much love from Australia!!

Crazy to think standing where she stood, seeing the things she seen…mind blowing history like you say, not morbid just documenting history. Boy would I love to see Jack the Ripper locations myself 👀

I have always been intrigued by this story, even as a small child. I'm so glad I came across this and I could honestly feel the emotion as you had come full circle. Thank you for sharing this! You have a new follower for life! Blessed Be....... Jonathan from Atlanta

My childhood home was around the corner from the courthouse in New Bedford.

Spent a few days in Salem this past October, drove the couple of hours to see the Borden House and their graves. Definitely worth the drive.

One of my fav videos!

I imagine walking past that house at like 2 in the a.m. and seeing a young girl in a victorian dress looking at me through the second story window holding an axe.

6:12 how Ed is it that you’ve come full circle Michael?! 🎉 We are stoked that you and Jessica have a passion for everything Halloween and horror! Thank you for doing this!

Love your laid back and informative video! I will be watching more of you both!

Just came across your channel thru the KZfaq recommended vids. Love your content!!! Actually had one of my first supernatural experiences at Lizzy Borden's grave.

Loved it, thanks for the tour. Someday I will make it there.

You DO have a good life. It's always great making your living doing what you love. When do you plan to take these adventures international? There's a lot of spooky sh*t in Europe.

I can’t find the source, but I remember reading what Agatha Christie said in an interview when asked about Lizzie Borden’s trial. She said if the prosecution had asked a few more of the right questions, they would have easily convicted her.

We took a tour of the house just a couple of months before you filmed this. The guide was very well versed in the complete story, including a number of things that are not generally talked about. When we went, we, like most thought Lizzie did the killing. After the history lesson, we both have come to believe that she was the brains, but her uncle actually did the dirty work.

I have stayed there overnight twice. Stayed in the Hosea Knowlton room. We definitely were visited by the kids in the room. The toys in the chest moved and we brought a board with us and the kids answered

Quick correction - the room marked “Lizzie Borden’s bedroom” was actually Emma’s bedroom. Lizzie had a bigger bedroom right next to it - I believe they switched rooms because Lizzie had things from her travels that she wanted to show off.

Saw a news interview done in Wisconsin, and the gal being interviewed looked like a kinfolk to Jessica. Great story on Lizzie. Makes me think of a band Thin Lizzy.

Thanks for sharing this video. I’ve always been fascinated by this story ever since I was about ten years old in the year 2000 and saw it on unsolved mysteries

Thank you for taking us along on your wonderful adventures. You two are amazing!💙

I live in Goldsboro North Carolina where some of the Borden relatives moved to and purchased an old cotton plant and renamed it Borden Manufacturing Company. My parents, brother, grandparents, great aunts and uncles all worked there until it's closure in 1995.

Yes yes ,I've been here a few times. Welcome to MA you two. Great vid . 🪓🪓🪓🪓

Love this video. I always believed that Lizzie was guilty. I also think that probably back in those days, it was highly unlikely that women were sentenced even when guilty of crimes. At least, that is my theory. If it had been a male, he probably would have been convicted of this crime. I just discovered this channel. Keep bringing them.

The Captain Kirk dramatic pauses are aplenty! LOL

At 15:07, Lizzy opens the window to whack Michael and Jessica. 30 seconds later, they escape to live yet another Halloween!!!

You did a great Job on this, thank you for sharing. How sad there was never Justice for Mr and Mrs Bordon. May they rest in peace 🕊️🕊️

The house for sale is in great shape. I would buy it if I had the money .

I just started following you guys and I fell upon this video. I live in New Bedford! I’ve seen so much Lizzy Borden in my life , because I’m from the area I didn’t watch this video right away… I wish I’d of known you where coming here. I would of gladly taken you guys to the places that only the locals know.

Yet again you've tought me so much, that mansion was stunning, as a metal detectorist wonder what could be found under the grass of that place, maybe some lost jewellery from her or her sister, maybe her cameo broach

Michael, you’re such an amazing storyteller and cinematographer!!! When I’m watching you and Jennifer, nothing else exists. Someday, you need to direct a movie my friend. I know it would be an incredible time, up for an award. Peace, blessings and ‘Happy Halloween’💀♥️🤟🏽

From what I understand Lizzie always called her step-mother Mrs. Borden. There were also rumors, nothing was ever substanciated, that her father was having an incestuous relationship with Lizzie. Also, it pissed Lizzie off when her father loaned Abby's sister money. There are also a lot of misconceptions about Abby. She was not the shrew Lizzie and her sister portrayed her as. She cared about those girls, and really tried to be a mom to them. It was a terrible tragedy all way around.

You and your rockabilly lady are awesome, great to see you both here in London. 👍👌

I love yalls channel!!! U guys take me on a historical journey into the past right from bed! Thank yall for yalls hard work!

The North East has the best Cemeteries. They look like something out of a movie set. You guys are there at the best time.... Fall. Once you get into early December winter hits and it gets super cold. This channel is so unique. There really is nothing else on KZfaq like it.

Great stuff! Love the channel. I'm a native of New Bedford (no longer reside there though) and have been to the Borden house as well. Unfortunately never made it to Maplecroft. I can remember my sisters saying the Lizzie Borden rhyme while jumping rope as kids. Seemed like everyone new it back then. Not sure how much time you were able to spend in New Bedford but there are a lot of old historical homes, areas and cemeteries there I'm sure you'd find interesting. Unfortunately it's not the same city it once was...but still some nice areas nonetheless. Looking forward to more content. Subscribed.

Actually Emma left Maplecroft in 1905 and apparently never saw Lizzie again. Emma died at her home in New Hampshire 9 days after Lizzie died in Fall River, Mass.

I love how that it's not just the story but they also pay attention to small details of the place they visit. 💯❣️

You Two Would Be The Perfect Couple to Buy that House! 🦋

My hubby took me to the Borden B&B for a night on my birthday.. a I just knew something paranormal would happen after the lights were cut off that night.We stayed in the guest room where Abby was murdered which made me even more antsy..I finally settled down and in the middle of the night I woke up and literally scared my hubby to death jumping up in a panic ..I thought I saw someone in the bedroom with us but after he cut the lamp on I realized it was just the mannequin that had the dress on it that Elizabeth Montgomery had worn in the Lizzie Borden movie..I admit that after I had calmed down I was kind of disappointed that we didn't even see a orb while visiting the Borden house . However, I recommend it it is a nice place for a weekend get away if you are into murder and history.

Couple minor mistakes. Lizzie’s real name was Lizzie. After she was acquitted, she changed her name to Lizbeth. Also you are correct that autopsies were done of Andrew & Abby in the dining room but Lizzie didn’t faint there. She fainted in court when they brought in the actual skulls of her parents to show the handless hatchet could have inflicted the wounds in their skulls.

I'm watching this again because I love it. Things have changed here for sure.

❤️ the content... With Christmas coming I'd love a krampus vlog!! Stay spooky 🖤

Will you guys ever go to Jim&Pam grave and show respect and do a video of them
