Lizzie Borden: Unsolved Murders and A Family Curse?

Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale.  This week, your curator Zach is finally covering the case of Lizzie Borden

The infamous Lizzie Borden axe murders stand as one of America's most enduring unsolved crimes—a bloody double homicide that shocked the nation and continues to fascinate more than a century later. We dissect the gruesome events of August 4, 1892, when Andrew Borden and his second wife Abby were brutally slain in their Fall River, Massachusetts home.

Delving into the complex family dynamics, we examine how Andrew's frugal nature and his daughters' resentment toward their stepmother created a household filled with tension

But the story doesn't end with the Murders. The Borden house has become notorious as one of America's most haunted locations, where paranormal investigators regularly document disembodied voices, phantom footsteps, and objects moving on their own.

Who was the killer? Was Lizzie indeed responsible but influenced by supernatural forces? Listen as we weigh the evidence both forensic and paranormal, and decide for yourself what really happened at 92 Second Street.
