A creepy detail I found out...Elizabeth Montgomery was actually distantly related to Lizzie Borden. She didn't know it at the time of the filming of "The Legend of Lizzie Borden", but she was actually her 6th cousin, twice removed. *shivers!*
@@Concetta20Agree but Liz Montgomery was pretty. BTW 6th cousin once removed is pretty distant. Still fascinating stuff. Was it on the Montgomery side or her mothers.?
Lizzie and Emma didn't live together until they died. They had a personal issue around 1909 and never spoke to each other again. Yet they died within days of each other in 1927
I was born in Fall River and I remember visiting the house back in the 80s. I have a lot of fond memories of growing up in the area. Thank you for a wonderful video.
Love this place, I stayed at this B&B back in the 90s and slept in Lizzies room. I wasn't afraid at all since the house was so beautiful. Loved the hatchet pancakes for breakfast. Also toured the cemetery and the cool gift shop.
One interesting fact: Lizzie was an early advocate for animals. She rescued many and dedicated a lot of her money for the cause. Many of the parties that she held at Maplecroft were actually fundraisers for animal rights organizations. Another interesting fact: Lizzie's uncle (her mother's brother) lived next door to them and he killed his own children. That family had some real issues.
Didn't Lizzie leave her money to animal rights as well? Hard to believe that someone who loved animals as much as she did, would commit such a heinous crime.
@@mariadmaldonado7979 Not really. She very well could have loved animals but in one dreadful situation where she felt driven up a wall she could also kill people.
While attending my grandmother's funeral there, I asked the caretaker where Lizzie was buried. He said "Not with the family." When I asked why he told us it was because people through the years "tampered" with her grave. So everyone knows she's not where she is supposed to be, she had been moved - but nobody knows to where. True or not, it was interesting.
@@steveusn6852 I'd suspect that if she was moved to an unmarked place, you could look at available lots vs what is headstoned and see if things dont line up.
@@pincushionllama The only thing is chances are if she was moved she would be placed in a grave that is marked with a false name to keep people from messing with it and her original stone would remain with the rest of the family.
Emma moved out of Maplecroft long before the sisters died. They had a falling out. Lizzie changed her name to Lizbeth after her trial. The rage that was seen in the way that Andrew and Abby Borden were killed suggests the killings were personal done by someone who was full of rage.
Lizzie Borden spent 10 months in Taunton Jail. I live in Taunton, MA and there is so much history in this area. Famous serial killer nurse Jane Toppan is buried in a Potters Field grave at Mayflower Hill Cemetary in Taunton, MA. Keep up the amazing work that you guys provide for us.
Your absolutely correct. A young woman named Elizabeth Poole from England found the town of Taunton, MA in 1637 and became a town in 1639. It became a city in 1864. Her final resting place is also in Taunton, MA. She is the first woman to discover a city/town in The United States/Americas.
Curious as to why she spent 10 months in Taunton city jail. Ash street jail was only 2 blocks away from the court house and the trial only lasted 12 days. Another side story about her I'm curious to hear about
We just got back today from a visit to the gravesite and house (from the mid-Hudson Valley), fantastic place, fascinating tour, one of history's rabbit holes-the more you know, the more you want to learn. Thank you Grimmlifers for this video. You're the best!
While they did not live together in their older years, they died at almost the same time. Emma left Maplecroft early on since she was not happy with Lizzy’s lifestyle. Emma moved to Vermont I believe.
The autopsy pictures were WOW. I hadn't really considered what the bodies would look like and the picture of her father on the table...his face, or what remained...wow...
Thanks for this video! Seth Borden is a youtuber on here that does ghost investiogations with his brother Chase Borden they are fifth cousins of the Borden family on their fathers side. Also Elizabeth Montegomery who starred as Lizzie Borden in a movie from the past is also a cousin of Lizzies.
I can’t find the source, but I remember reading what Agatha Christie said in an interview when asked about Lizzie Borden’s trial. She said if the prosecution had asked a few more of the right questions, they would have easily convicted her.
u two both will always be my favorite TH-camrs 😊 without u guys my life will be not as happy u are both great by the way I'm always been obsessed about the borden family couldn't get enough
I was stationed in Newport, RI not long ago and I took my daughter to the Borden house. Very surreal place. Beautiful house, terrible history. Love y’alls videos!
Your videos really open up opportunities for those of us in other Countries to visit location previously out of reach! You are inspiration to myself and others into doing location documentaries, thanks to you I have now started my own channel! Keep up the good work guys! 😃
Always been fascinated by Lizzie Borden. Would love to visit her house, unfortunately I live in the UK, so I'm relying on you guys to visit them for me 😁 Also, love your knowledge and facts you put into the videos too. Can't wait for the next xx
I have always been very interested in the Lizzie Borden case. I am on the fence if she's guilty or not. I am with Jessica. If she did it she had help or was the help. Thank you Michael and Jessica for sharing this amazing trip you are on. Happy Halloween!
I've seen a couple of your videos now. I think they are great. The respect and dignity, in which you communicate your knowledge is so great. Looking forward to see more videos.
The folks who previously owned Maplecroft did so much work getting it back to the way it looked when Lizzie lived there. They wanted to make it another bed and breakfast but had troubles with things, not exactly sure what, but hopefully whoever buys it will not change anything and maybe try to do the b&b themselves.
Lizzie died of pneumonia on June 1, 1927, in Fall River. The day Lizzie died, Emma had an accident and broke her hip. She died due to chronic nephritis, 9 days later, on June 10, 1927. The Borden sisters, along with the rest of the family, are buried side by side at the family plot in 'Oak Grove Cemetery,' Fall River.
6:12 how Ed is it that you’ve come full circle Michael?! 🎉 We are stoked that you and Jessica have a passion for everything Halloween and horror! Thank you for doing this!
OMG YES! I was just watching a doco on Lizzie and was hoping you'd both check out the house in the future!! You both are legit the most awesome couple ever! Much love from Australia!!
Great job with Lizzie's story! Enjoyed the video! The main reason Lizzie got off was the phrase "guilty beyond reasonable doubt"! Even though many things maybe pointed to Lizzie, nothing directly tied her to the murders. They had to let her go. They could not take her life on "maybe she did it". Back then, many men, (jurors), did not believe a woman could commit such violent murders. Elizabeth Montgomery's portrayal in the tv-movie of how Lizzie could have done it is very plausible!
I have always been intrigued by this story, even as a small child. I'm so glad I came across this and I could honestly feel the emotion as you had come full circle. Thank you for sharing this! You have a new follower for life! Blessed Be....... Jonathan from Atlanta
I live in Goldsboro North Carolina where some of the Borden relatives moved to and purchased an old cotton plant and renamed it Borden Manufacturing Company. My parents, brother, grandparents, great aunts and uncles all worked there until it's closure in 1995.
Couple minor mistakes. Lizzie’s real name was Lizzie. After she was acquitted, she changed her name to Lizbeth. Also you are correct that autopsies were done of Andrew & Abby in the dining room but Lizzie didn’t faint there. She fainted in court when they brought in the actual skulls of her parents to show the handless hatchet could have inflicted the wounds in their skulls.
Lizzie was ostracized from polite society/ her social circle, after the court case. She did go live high up on the hill with actors and actresses as her only friends, which was frowned on in good society. Actors were looked down upon.
I'm from Sydney Australia and will never get to physically visit even a third of these incredible place's you guys frequently visit. Thanks so much for your awesome video vlogs 😎🤘
Another well done tour. Always interesting in your technique. Another Haunt you may be interested in visiting is Jefferson, Texas. The Diamond Bessie murder took place there and at the time of the trial (1877) it was as sensational as the O.J. Simpson trial in the US. Her grave is worth a visit in a very historic graveyard. Several of the hotels there are reputably haunted. My favorite's the Excelsior, built in the 1850s, and from first hand experience I believe it. There's even a nightly ghost walk tour visiting all of the saloons and brothels from the hell raising days. A beautiful well kept town.
That's not far from where I live. I've been there years ago, but never had time for sightseeing. It is a beautiful town with some interesting history. While I'm thinking of that area of the state, Scottsville cemetery is a must-see. Just south-east of Jefferson, it's got some of the most beautiful statuary you'll ever see in such a small cemetery. It's a classic example of the American "garden cemeteries", with rose bushes, flowers, ornamental flowering trees and shrubs, etc.. Well worth the visit for anyone in the area.
Boy did you do “us” proud! Us Fall Riverites! Stock full of fact and so respectful of the facts. We loved your footage. You were in our backyard practically. If we had seen you; we absolutely would have offered you a cup of my homemade Mutton soup 🍜.
I have never visited the Lizzie Borden place but I would really love to, as I am also interested in things like you and Jessica are.. My 2nd cousin is Elizabeth Montgomery who played Lizzie Borden in the movie and I have always been in Awe of her portraying Lizzie.. Very Awesome video once again👍Kudos to Michael and Jessica, you are so much Fun to watch😘
Elizabeth Montgomery is your second cousin? That's awesome! Did you know her well? I remember when I was a kid she co-starred with O.J. Simpson in a movie originally titled A Killing Affair. I think studio executives eventually ended up changing the title to something a little tamer. I admired her courage for doing that movie, as an interracial love affair was at the center of it.
@@paullittle9187 yes , she was very witty and as kind as can be.. My mom always said we looked alot like each other and we could be sisters😊I remember that movie and yes, she was a diamond in the rough..God rest her soul..
I’ve been avidly waiting for this video and you both did not disappoint. Lizzie (her name was actually Elizabeth) Borden changed her name after the murders to Lizbeth, I guess to try and distance herself from the tragedy. Fun fact: Elizabeth Montgomery was related (distance cousins) to Lizzie. As for whodunnit? I think Lizzie did commit the crimes, possibly in collusion with the maid. It’s interesting to note that had Andrew died before Abby, his estate would have passed to her and then, with her own death, to her relatives and not to the Borden girls.
Just came across your channel thru the TH-cam recommended vids. Love your content!!! Actually had one of my first supernatural experiences at Lizzy Borden's grave.
Elizabeth Montgomery was sixth cousins with Lizzie Borden, but she was unaware of that fact, even when she portrayed Lizzie in the 1975 film. It was discovered after Montgomery had passed. Fascinating.
Thank you for this. I've been fascinated by this story for years, it was great to see the locations you showed here. I think it was the maid who testified that Lizzie was unaccounted for only five minutes at the time of the murders.🤔🧐
I realize she wasn’t hacked into little bits, but there was bits of brain, skull, scalp, & hair spattered about the room. It must’ve been an absolute blood bath, you can’t tell from those Victorian era crime scene photos
I believe she did it! But she was more than likely an ongoing victim of incest! Whoever did it must have had alot of rage in them to kill like that, in such a up close and personal way! She probably harbored a lot resentment towards the stepmother also, who knew about it and did nothing about it! I'm glad she was acquitted! No one talked about that stuff in 1892!
I get so happy when you upload! I love your nails, I’m a nail tech :) and artist. You guys bring so much joy and education, I love it. Happy thanksgiving 🦃🍁
I just started following you guys and I fell upon this video. I live in New Bedford! I’ve seen so much Lizzy Borden in my life , because I’m from the area I didn’t watch this video right away… I wish I’d of known you where coming here. I would of gladly taken you guys to the places that only the locals know.
Quick correction...Emma lived at the Maplecroft house only for a short time, as she was firmly against Lizzie's lesbian friends and 'acquaintances' that frequented the house. Also, you can read the actual transcript from the trial...there's a book written verbatim from it. 'The Trial of Lizzie Borden' if I'm not mistaken. Their Uncle that visited and spent the night before the murders was the only other person (IMHO) that was a legitimate suspect.
The problem is he doesn't appear to have any true motive he didn't profit from Andrew's death, only Lizzie and Emma did so I can't see that he had any part in it other than possibly knowledge. I've often thought that the maid Bridget knew of the murder but probably didn't help and covered for Lizzie. I've been very curious to know what happened to Bridget after this
@@skye.325 I remember reading somewhere that Bridget moved to Butte Montana after the trial. She married a man she met while working as a maid and died in 1948.
Thank you so much for filming and sharing these incredible places and documenting the history. It gives me an insight on all these fabulous places where I could not visit but love to see. Thank you for spending time to make these videos. Happy Halloween, Vanessa Flournoy
Great stuff! Love the channel. I'm a native of New Bedford (no longer reside there though) and have been to the Borden house as well. Unfortunately never made it to Maplecroft. I can remember my sisters saying the Lizzie Borden rhyme while jumping rope as kids. Seemed like everyone new it back then. Not sure how much time you were able to spend in New Bedford but there are a lot of old historical homes, areas and cemeteries there I'm sure you'd find interesting. Unfortunately it's not the same city it once was...but still some nice areas nonetheless. Looking forward to more content. Subscribed.
In a little more than a week, we're doing a jury trial at that courthouse in New Bedford. I am SO excited! I have never been to Massachusetts and I'm stoked that my first time will be in Lizzie Borden town. Cheers!
I did the tour back in October. The tour guide I had was amazing!!! The one thing that the tour did do was make me think differently about pears 🍐 🤔 LOL.... I do agree that it's like a who done it type of mystery. I've been trying to get a few friends to rent the house with me to do a ghost tour next year. I'd love to walk around at night to see if anything happens. Next time I go up there I plan to visit Maplecroft.
Michael, you’re such an amazing storyteller and cinematographer!!! When I’m watching you and Jennifer, nothing else exists. Someday, you need to direct a movie my friend. I know it would be an incredible time, up for an award. Peace, blessings and ‘Happy Halloween’💀♥️🤟🏽
Thank You for the very insightful video. I am related to Lizzie, and like her I am, from Fall River. So many people get the facts wrong but your short video was on point. Thanks again.
Wow. You and Jess were busy AF on the east coast. The amount of ground you covered was staggering. . Who else is going to aggregate this much content of this nature? And do so this professionally? Just awesome. looking forward to chilling with y'all back home on another one of your movie nights. Happy Halloween/Thanksgiving! And thanks again.
Crazy to think standing where she stood, seeing the things she seen…mind blowing history like you say, not morbid just documenting history. Boy would I love to see Jack the Ripper locations myself 👀
The Jack the Ripper locations are still there but they've changed a lot since the 1890's. London is a lot bigger city now and there are modern buildings in those locations.
Im a borden by blood and i gotta say that watching this was amazing, pictures of the house and how you explained it all Fun Fact : in the 1960s when my mom was a teenager that house was a private residence, she lived there until martha Mcquinn bought it and transformed it into a B&B During that time she had run ins with spirits, Her bedroom was andrew and abbeys room and she supposedly saw Abbey walking from the ajoining room which was her dressing room in 1892 into the bedroom
This video is amazing! I love how on her grave there's a pair. "Lizzie Bordon took an axe gave her mother 18 whacks when she saw what she had done gave her father 10 plus 1"
I requested this video recently not knowing that you already made a video about Lizzie. I looked for it through the videos that were posted on your channel but it only showed a few videos and I don't know why so the only reason I was able to find this video was through recommendation from TH-cam. I've been subscribed to your channel about a half a year now. Love what you and Jessica do. Keep up the great work. Happy Halloween. Sending love from Baltimore, Maryland.
When you zoom in on Andrew Borden's body right where he was struck in the face one of his eye balls is dangling down it's hard to see even when you zoom in pixels start to get in the way but it's there and looks to be split in half a bit buts it's dangling from the face.
You DO have a good life. It's always great making your living doing what you love. When do you plan to take these adventures international? There's a lot of spooky sh*t in Europe.
I love your enthusiasm, Ive got an ardor towards things dark and mysterious myself. But you and the Missus are out there getting it done, nice. Respect
Love this video. I always believed that Lizzie was guilty. I also think that probably back in those days, it was highly unlikely that women were sentenced even when guilty of crimes. At least, that is my theory. If it had been a male, he probably would have been convicted of this crime. I just discovered this channel. Keep bringing them.
That sucks that you didn't get to film in the house. I was surprised that you weren't allowed to video it because I'm pretty sure that I've seen a few videos of the house here on TH-cam, but i could be wrong. Great video though, love your channel💚
Just wanna say thank you for your videos , they have kept me sane for the last couple of months and seeing all your hardwork making things just proves you have a talent that not many do , i wish you all the success you continue to get cause you deserve it and god bless you and your gf for sharing everything and visiting places many of us probably never will be able too and without u never would have seen keep it up
That was lizzies bedroom at one time. But she convinced Emma to switch rooms with her. At the time of the murder Lizzie had the larger room. Emma slept in the small adjoining room.
I heard once a year the Animal Rescue League puts flowers on her grave. She supposedly left a lot of money to the organization in her will.
This is true. They have her picture on the wall to this day and you can still adopt “Lizzie Kitties” as they call them in her honor.
@@bobdotlich5480wow
She was extremely kind to animals and children’s charities.
She left me nothing.
So sweet of her💗

A creepy detail I found out...Elizabeth Montgomery was actually distantly related to Lizzie Borden. She didn't know it at the time of the filming of "The Legend of Lizzie Borden", but she was actually her 6th cousin, twice removed.

Big Deal. That story is so OLD. Montgomery gave a fine performance in that movie, may she RIP.

Lizzie and Emma didn't live together until they died. They had a personal issue around 1909 and never spoke to each other again. Yet they died within days of each other in 1927
Emma became wise to Lizzie's lesbian "proclivities." hence, their estrangement.
Born 9 years apart, died 9 days apart.
@@gregrak9389So she was a lesbian?

@@mariadmaldonado7979 Not really. She very well could have loved animals but in one dreadful situation where she felt driven up a wall she could also kill people.
@@heididietrich9800 That’s horrendous. Good grief.
@@angelwings7930 I don't know how true it is, but I've heard claims that even Hitler liked animals and killed people.
I literally live less than a mile from that court house in New Bedford didn’t even know till I looked it up
Elizabeth Montgomery played the part of Lizzy in a TV movie. Really well done.
Christina Ricci did a great job too
She was also Lizabeth’s 6th cousin twice removed & she didn’t even know that while filming
The 1975 TV movie with Elizabeth Montgomery was the best one.

Not true. The cemetery is owned by the city and all burial records are public. She is buried with the Borden family.

That's not far from where I live. I've been there years ago, but never had time for sightseeing. It is a beautiful town with some interesting history.
While I'm thinking of that area of the state, Scottsville cemetery is a must-see. Just south-east of Jefferson, it's got some of the most beautiful statuary you'll ever see in such a small cemetery. It's a classic example of the American "garden cemeteries", with rose bushes, flowers, ornamental flowering trees and shrubs, etc.. Well worth the visit for anyone in the area.

Lizzy Borden was also a pretty good metal band in the 80s, Give Em The Axe and Me Against The World were popular songs back then.
Boy did you do “us” proud! Us Fall Riverites!
Stock full of fact and so respectful of the facts.
We loved your footage.
You were in our backyard practically. If we had seen you; we absolutely would have offered you a cup of my homemade Mutton soup 🍜.
I have never visited the Lizzie Borden place but I would really love to, as I am also interested in things like you and Jessica are.. My 2nd cousin is Elizabeth Montgomery who played Lizzie Borden in the movie and I have always been in Awe of her portraying Lizzie.. Very Awesome video once again👍Kudos to Michael and Jessica, you are so much Fun to watch😘
Would love to have Sam from Bewitched in the family!
Elizabeth Montgomery was also distantly related to Lizzie Borden, whom she portrayed in a 1975 movie.
Elizabeth Montgomery is your second cousin? That's awesome! Did you know her well? I remember when I was a kid she co-starred with O.J. Simpson in a movie originally titled A Killing Affair. I think studio executives eventually ended up changing the title to something a little tamer. I admired her courage for doing that movie, as an interracial love affair was at the center of it.
@@paullittle9187 yes , she was very witty and as kind as can be.. My mom always said we looked alot like each other and we could be sisters😊I remember that movie and yes, she was a diamond in the rough..God rest her soul..
You guys have had me hooked sense the lynyrd skynyrd location ...mad respect guys your channel is awesome keep up the GOUL WORK LOL

I’ve been avidly waiting for this video and you both did not disappoint. Lizzie (her name was actually Elizabeth) Borden changed her name after the murders to Lizbeth, I guess to try and distance herself from the tragedy. Fun fact: Elizabeth Montgomery was related (distance cousins) to Lizzie. As for whodunnit? I think Lizzie did commit the crimes, possibly in collusion with the maid. It’s interesting to note that had Andrew died before Abby, his estate would have passed to her and then, with her own death, to her relatives and not to the Borden girls.
I never knew that about Elizabeth Montgomery. Cool!
@@jillt1071 It’s amazing isn’t it. Apparently, Elizabeth Montgomery never found out her familial connection to Lizzie.

That made for TV movie she did as Lizzie is great.
i'm very new to the channel and from boston / all over new england, welcome!
Just came across your channel thru the TH-cam recommended vids. Love your content!!! Actually had one of my first supernatural experiences at Lizzy Borden's grave.

Thank you for taking us along on your wonderful adventures.
You two are amazing!💙
Yes yes ,I've been here a few times. Welcome to MA you two. Great vid . 🪓🪓🪓🪓
Elizabeth Montgomery was sixth cousins with Lizzie Borden, but she was unaware of that fact, even when she portrayed Lizzie in the 1975 film. It was discovered after Montgomery had passed. Fascinating.
I love yalls channel!!! U guys take me on a historical journey into the past right from bed! Thank yall for yalls hard work!
The “Obscurities” Podcast did an excellent episode on this topic. The truth is still bone chilling.

do you have the link i cant seem to find it
@@TyhlerNovac Go away
Thank you for this. I've been fascinated by this story for years, it was great to see the locations you showed here. I think it was the maid who testified that Lizzie was unaccounted for only five minutes at the time of the murders.🤔🧐
I’ve stayed overnight in the room where her stepmother was found hacked to bits.
Happy holidays you two!
She wasn't hacked to bits, just saying. Her head was pretty much obliterated though. 🤷♂️
I realize she wasn’t hacked into little bits, but there was bits of brain, skull, scalp, & hair spattered about the room. It must’ve been an absolute blood bath, you can’t tell from those Victorian era crime scene photos

I would have loved to meet you guys here in Fall River, glad you guys had fun here.
Have you considered returning to Florida to visit the sites relating to Aileen Wuornos?
The hands in the window at 15.10 freaked me out if I'm honest 😳
I believe she did it! But she was more than likely an ongoing victim of incest! Whoever did it must have had alot of rage in them to kill like that, in such a up close and personal way! She probably harbored a lot resentment towards the stepmother also, who knew about it and did nothing about it! I'm glad she was acquitted! No one talked about that stuff in 1892!
John did it
Have a great Thanksgiving Grimmlifecollective.. looking forward to the next UpAllNight
I get so happy when you upload!
I love your nails, I’m a nail tech :) and artist.
You guys bring so much joy and education, I love it.
Happy thanksgiving 🦃🍁

Great video Grimmlifecollective! Maplecroft is beautiful, I love the old craftman design houses. I lived in one when I grew up. Such a sad story!
You did a great Job on this, thank you for sharing. How sad there was never Justice for Mr and Mrs Bordon. May they rest in peace 🕊️🕊️
I just started following you guys and I fell upon this video. I live in New Bedford! I’ve seen so much Lizzy Borden in my life , because I’m from the area I didn’t watch this video right away… I wish I’d of known you where coming here. I would of gladly taken you guys to the places that only the locals know.
Quick correction...Emma lived at the Maplecroft house only for a short time, as she was firmly against Lizzie's lesbian friends and 'acquaintances' that frequented the house. Also, you can read the actual transcript from the trial...there's a book written verbatim from it. 'The Trial of Lizzie Borden' if I'm not mistaken. Their Uncle that visited and spent the night before the murders was the only other person (IMHO) that was a legitimate suspect.
He actually does say that. Micheal says that the sisters had a falling out and Emma moved out.
Yes, fascinating book! - "The Trial of Lizzie Borden" by Cara Robertson.
It's a great book😁
The problem is he doesn't appear to have any true motive he didn't profit from Andrew's death, only Lizzie and Emma did so I can't see that he had any part in it other than possibly knowledge. I've often thought that the maid Bridget knew of the murder but probably didn't help and covered for Lizzie. I've been very curious to know what happened to Bridget after this
@@skye.325 I remember reading somewhere that Bridget moved to Butte Montana after the trial. She married a man she met while working as a maid and died in 1948.
Love your laid back and informative video! I will be watching more of you both!
Cant believe Zak Bagans hasn't bought it yet
Another great story, chilling, and it’s details again. Nobody can tell the story like you can excellent video.
Michael you and Jessica put out awesome videos. Hope to see ya Dec 5th.

Thank you so much for filming and sharing these incredible places and documenting the history. It gives me an insight on all these fabulous places where I could not visit but love to see. Thank you for spending time to make these videos. Happy Halloween, Vanessa Flournoy
Great stuff! Love the channel. I'm a native of New Bedford (no longer reside there though) and have been to the Borden house as well. Unfortunately never made it to Maplecroft. I can remember my sisters saying the Lizzie Borden rhyme while jumping rope as kids. Seemed like everyone new it back then. Not sure how much time you were able to spend in New Bedford but there are a lot of old historical homes, areas and cemeteries there I'm sure you'd find interesting. Unfortunately it's not the same city it once was...but still some nice areas nonetheless. Looking forward to more content. Subscribed.
In a little more than a week, we're doing a jury trial at that courthouse in New Bedford. I am SO excited! I have never been to Massachusetts and I'm stoked that my first time will be in Lizzie Borden town. Cheers!
I did the tour back in October. The tour guide I had was amazing!!!
The one thing that the tour did do was make me think differently about pears 🍐 🤔 LOL....
I do agree that it's like a who done it type of mystery. I've been trying to get a few friends to rent the house with me to do a ghost tour next year. I'd love to walk around at night to see if anything happens. Next time I go up there I plan to visit Maplecroft.
The Elf On The Shelf Christmas Carol th-cam.com/video/wnHkwXY7iJo/w-d-xo.html
I’m in Fall River quite often for work. Been to the home she grew up in. I need to visit the cemetery to check it out. Thanks for a great video!
Michael, you’re such an amazing storyteller and cinematographer!!! When I’m watching you and Jennifer, nothing else exists. Someday, you need to direct a movie my friend. I know it would be an incredible time, up for an award. Peace, blessings and ‘Happy Halloween’💀♥️🤟🏽
Thank You for the very insightful video. I am related to Lizzie, and like her I am, from Fall River. So many people get the facts wrong but your short video was on point. Thanks again.
15:15 the window being opened when Jessica was saying she thought Lizzie had a hand in the murders creeped me out lol

Wow. You and Jess were busy AF on the east coast. The amount of ground you covered was staggering. . Who else is going to aggregate this much content of this nature? And do so this professionally? Just awesome. looking forward to chilling with y'all back home on another one of your movie nights. Happy Halloween/Thanksgiving! And thanks again.

Crazy to think standing where she stood, seeing the things she seen…mind blowing history like you say, not morbid just documenting history. Boy would I love to see Jack the Ripper locations myself 👀
The Jack the Ripper locations are still there but they've changed a lot since the 1890's. London is a lot bigger city now and there are modern buildings in those locations.
Im a borden by blood and i gotta say that watching this was amazing, pictures of the house and how you explained it all
Fun Fact : in the 1960s when my mom was a teenager that house was a private residence, she lived there until martha Mcquinn bought it and transformed it into a B&B
During that time she had run ins with spirits, Her bedroom was andrew and abbeys room and she supposedly saw Abbey walking from the ajoining room which was her dressing room in 1892 into the bedroom
Oooh, freaky!!
Cold down here in Georgia as well. Another great video. 🖤🖤🖤🖤
This video is amazing! I love how on her grave there's a pair. "Lizzie Bordon took an axe gave her mother 18 whacks when she saw what she had done gave her father 10 plus 1"
I requested this video recently not knowing that you already made a video about Lizzie. I looked for it through the videos that were posted on your channel but it only showed a few videos and I don't know why so the only reason I was able to find this video was through recommendation from TH-cam. I've been subscribed to your channel about a half a year now. Love what you and Jessica do. Keep up the great work. Happy Halloween. Sending love from Baltimore, Maryland.
❤️ the content... With Christmas coming I'd love a krampus vlog!! Stay spooky 🖤
They are coming
Want to wish you Jessica - Mike a wonderful Thanksgiving !!! Stay spooky my favorite channel.

When you zoom in on Andrew Borden's body right where he was struck in the face one of his eye balls is dangling down it's hard to see even when you zoom in pixels start to get in the way but it's there and looks to be split in half a bit buts it's dangling from the face.
You DO have a good life. It's always great making your living doing what you love. When do you plan to take these adventures international? There's a lot of spooky sh*t in Europe.
I love your enthusiasm, Ive got an ardor towards things dark and mysterious myself. But you and the Missus are out there getting it done, nice. Respect
Love this video. I always believed that Lizzie was guilty. I also think that probably back in those days, it was highly unlikely that women were sentenced even when guilty of crimes. At least, that is my theory. If it had been a male, he probably would have been convicted of this crime. I just discovered this channel. Keep bringing them.
I lived in New England ( Rhode Island ) for thirteen years. Never made it to the Lizzie Borden sites. Great Vlog, THANK YOU.
I hope one day I will meet someone that will love me like they love each other and I get to travel with them to spooky spots.

That sucks that you didn't get to film in the house. I was surprised that you weren't allowed to video it because I'm pretty sure that I've seen a few videos of the house here on TH-cam, but i could be wrong. Great video though, love your channel💚
Just wanna say thank you for your videos , they have kept me sane for the last couple of months and seeing all your hardwork making things just proves you have a talent that not many do , i wish you all the success you continue to get cause you deserve it and god bless you and your gf for sharing everything and visiting places many of us probably never will be able too and without u never would have seen keep it up
I could listen to your stories all day great video love from Australia

You and your rockabilly lady are awesome, great to see you both here in London. 👍👌
That was lizzies bedroom at one time. But she convinced Emma to switch rooms with her. At the time of the murder Lizzie had the larger room. Emma slept in the small adjoining room.
First timer here great presentation qill look forward to seeing more of your work 😀
The ghost of Lizzie?! 15:08 And fyi, folks, they are asking $890,000 for Maplecroft. Could be a nice B & B for tourists.
