Evan Hunter on Lizzie Borden
When I interviewed the late Evan Hunter (aka Ed McBain) for LizzieAndrewBorden.com, I found him gracious and entirely accessible. I simply emailed him and asked for his thoughts and he wrote me right back and was perfectly wonderful in giving me his full attention. The interview I did with him is still online here. A […]

Haunted Police Station
When CNN posted this video I couldn’t resist sharing it with you. Nothing really happens during the story, but it is interesting nonetheless. Link to the video.
A Clairvoyant’s Honeymoon
From Spooked!: A Gay Ghost Hunters’s Snippits of Life—And the Afterlife This is the same person who I wrote about here. Remember, Rebecca, I didn’t say you were a sideshow, just that they treated you that way.

Brandy Naugle’s Lizzie Borden
An artist and web designer, Brandy Naugle creates woks that combine materials in a way that gives them not only a layered feel, but serve as an homage to the times in which the people lived. I rather like this one. The use of pink is especially evocative.
Lizzie Borden in Us All
Art is meant to provoke us, to make us think, to make us feel, to make us react in some way. Dominic Murphy’s pieces definitely do all of that. Here is his version of the Lizzie Borden story. Titled “Lizzie Borden in Us All.”

Little Lizzie Borden
This is not a photo of Lizzie Borden, but as the seller acknowledges, it is a work of art that makes one think of the later brutality in a new light after looking at an innocent girl. I support aspiring artists and especially enjoy collecting folk art pieces that are Lizzie related. Little Lizzie belongs […]
Lizzie Borden Insight
A recent LiveJournal entry by Jennifer Simon made me think that maybe she had some insight into Lizzie’s state of mind in 1892. Of course, it wouldn’t have been a hassle over computers and downloading, but the proximity issues combined with insecurities and communication problems would certainly add to the violent mix. The entry is […]
This morning at 92 Second Street
A visitor to Lizzie Borden’s house on 92 Second Street posted this short video of their room this morning. It is interesting to me that so many people get scared staying there. I did when I visited the house the first time in 1997! I didn’t sleep a wink. Read all about it here.

Ghost of Lizzie Borden Doll
There is a new item up for bid on eBay that has a few problems. No disrespect to the artist, whom I am sure was trying to do her best—but the creator of this Lizzie Borden doll apparently used a photo to help her detail the face that is not Lizzie Borden, but the now […]
