History and Haunting of Lizzie Borden.

History and Haunting of Lizzie Borden

A new book is out today on the Lizzie Borden case. I have had the pleasure to meet the author (Rebecca Pittman) and spend some time with her in recent months. While I have not read her theory yet, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate her on the publication of the book and provide you with a link to purchase, should you be so inclined.

The book is titled The History & Haunting of Lizzie Borden and is a whopping 826 pages!

Here is the book description:

On August 4, 1892, the brutal murders of Andrew and Abby Borden were committed within the walls of their modest home, in broad daylight, on a busy street in Fall River, Massachusetts. It is today, 124 years later, still considered America’s biggest unsolved murder mystery. Their youngest daughter, Lizzie, was accused, and the bizarre case of how she did it, and why she did it, still baffles. Now, for the first time, you will read there were actually two murder plots orchestrated for the death of the wealthy Borden couple.

Here, for the first time, we offer new evidence, photos, and the identity of mysterious key players in the tragedy–two men the police and attorneys searched for, but never found. Who were they? And how did they figure into this surreal murder case? We also offer photographic evidence of how the murderer broke the famous hatchet, and in only seconds.

In The History and Haunting of Lizzie Borden you will finally see the side of the unstable mind that would stop at nothing to get what she wanted. The strange happenings went far beyond 92 Second Street, and into her mansion on “the Hill,” Maplecroft.

Rebecca F. Pittman is known for her comprehensive books on some of the most-haunted and mysterious places in America, such as The History and Haunting of the Stanley Hotel, The History and Haunting of the Myrtles Plantation, and the History and Haunting of Lemp Mansion. She has been featured on Fox News, Coast to Coast AM with George Noorey, Jim Harold’s Campfire, and countless TV, radio and magazine interviews.

She is a TV talk show host, and muralist, with a love for all things unsolved. Come, look through the keyhole of Lizzie’s home on Second Street, and her mansion on “the Hill” with never before seen photos of the interiors. Also, new reports of the paranormal activity occurring inside the Lizzie B&B, showing why it is one of America’s most-haunted venues.

It’s all here. If you think you know what happened on August 4th, 1892, and the days, weeks and months leading up to it…think again. There is so much more to the story of Lizzie Borden: “A woman with her face pressed up against the window of a world she could not enter.”

Stop back soon for further information and a review, once I have had an opportunity to do so.

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.
