Lizzie Borden’s Former Home Off the Market?
The For Sale sign is gone now. It was removed from the front yard of Maplecroft as quietly as it was placed. The current owner was asking a whopping $885,000 for the place—a price well over market value, regardless of its historic significance. While I cannot say for certain the house was not sold, I […]

Lizzie Borden Mechanical Horror
I have seen this one before, but this is a new video so I present it to you as a fresh take on the idea of Lizzie Borden as a mechanical haunted house horror character. It is not flattering, but if this thing came at me out of some dark corner of some room, I […]

I cannot begin to dissect the errors here, for not only are there factual mistakes, but the narrative is supremely disjointed. It […]

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 […]
