Limbic Seizures and Lizzie Borden

A very interesting piece of research from 1996 has been posted on the Harvard University site. The essay examines the work of Dr. Anneliese Pontius, associate clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. For 15 years, Pontius has been piecing together clues to understand the bizarre behavior of a young man, with a history […]

Bewitched

Of course you know that the one and only Lizzie Borden movie was made for TV in 1975 and was called The Legend of Lizzie Borden. Lizzie was played by the lovely Elizabeth Montgomery, daughter of actor Robert Montgomery. I found a few interesting clips of EM’s commercials, some for her hit TV show Bewitched, […]

Lizzie Necklace

Intrepid Reporter found this obscure one. It is a very nice looking Lizzie Borden necklace on a MySpace page. Careful—this site plays music when you go there so turn your sound down on your ‘puter if you are not into Angellore.

Lizzie-JonBenet

A very interesting piece appeared on August 20, 2006 in the Palm Beach Post which does a rather lengthy comparison of the Lizzie Borden case and the JonBenet Ramsey investigation, prompted, of course, by the “confession” of John Mark Karr. Read the article all the way through, as there are some choice quotes by 92 […]

In a previous post I commented on A Sense of Place: Fall River, Massachusetts in the Time of Lizzie Borden, produced by The Ahenæum Assoicates. It includes some very interesting maps and images. The same group has added a new section about Lizzie Borden that I know you will find interesting. Using maps and diagrams, […]

Lizzie Borden’s Numerology

Ever want to know what Lizzie’s numerology was? Well, here is a site that purports to lay it out for you. I wonder if since they got her real name wrong, it invalidates the author’s results. Thanks to Intrepid Reporter for this link!
