Stef’s Blog Round Up — August 24

DareToScare.com has a brief blurb about the Lizzie Borden B&B. Nice plug for the house.

The same blog links to a site that I find much more interesting: The International Ghost Hunters Society, which shows one of those supposed ghost photos from 92 Second St.—-this time the spirit’s ectoplasm appearing on the outside of the residence.

This MySpace page reports that the Lizzie Borden B&B is a new sponsor of the Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival. The festival will be giving away 10 four packs of tours to Lizzies house this October. Here’s a link to the main page for the festival which is being held in Providence, RI, October 5-8, 2006. Sounds like fun to me!

And then, lest we forget to mention it, there were a slew of “On This Day in History” notices regarding the murders on August 4th. Here are a few of the most interesting:

Mondo Lizzie Borden, Episode 7: NOT Lizzie Borden

Being a collector of the weird and fabulous as it relates to the Borden case, I have files of these images saved during the past twenty years. And I would like to share them with you now. Laugh, gasp, chuckle, or rage, these photos were all on eBay. For a price. I used to write the sellers and let them know they didn’t have a Lizzie, but soon gave up on that practice. They didn’t care. Even though they were committing fraud by the sale of the image as a true Lizzie Borden. Oh well.

Here we go. Enjoy.
