Ghost Investigation into Lizzie Borden Case

When I was growing up, my favorite kinds of book to read were mysteries and ghost stories.

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.

Lizzie Borden and Craigslist

I found this on Craigslist.org. Interesting place to advertise a lecture! I must remember this avenue of marketing!
