Lizzie Borden Story
It is fanciful, to be sure, with factual inaccuracies, but I really enjoyed the narration and the visuals, which are superior. I love the stamp idea. So all in all, an excellent video. And it just gets better and better as you watch it. Highly recommended. It is titled “Tragedy in Fall River,” by Stephen […]

The People Vs. Lizzie Borden
Last year, the Warner Robins Little Theatre in Warner Rogers, GA, produced a new play about Lizzie Borden, titled “Murder Americana: The People vs. Lizzie Borden.” From the images of the production, one can see an amazing set and wonderful costumes and lighting. The show “looks” wonderful. I hope it was well received and enjoyed […]
Lizzie Borden FAIL
It happens a lot—people writing about the Borden murders of 1892 (note the date) and getting it wrong. Not just partly wrong, but terribly wrong. Another case popped up today at Associated content. I cannot begin to dissect the errors here, for not only are there factual mistakes, but the narrative is supremely disjointed. It […]

Ghost Investigation into Lizzie Borden Case
When I was growing up, my favorite kinds of book to read were mysteries and ghost stories. I adored stories that made me quiver and quake, and as I got older that attraction extended to “true” accounts of hauntings and the paranormal. I will never forget reading the classic “The Demonologist: The True Story of […]
Quequechan
My friend Don Hammontree, singer, photographer, video artist, has posted one of his songs from his new CD “Brutalist School”—titled Quequechan. He has created a music video incorporating his photographs of Fall River, many of which you might recognize. It is a really fine song. Take a listen. The second video from Don Hammontree’s latest […]
30 Odd Minutes Meets Lizzie Borden
I have to say I watch this web-only show. I keep up with each episode and find it fresh and interesting. 30 Odd Minutes is the brainchild of Jeff Belanger. He is interested in all things paranormal and has created a great informal interview show that is well worth watching. His cohorts and coworkers include […]

Some students at Waltham High School (MA) have put together a short video on the Lizzie Borden case. It is a straight retelling of the story, with a strong emphasis on Lizzie’s probable guilt. The students cite their sources at the end of the show, but get many of the facts of the case incorrect. […]
