Lizzie Borden House

In this area of the cellar, Hans noticed a shadow figure and I sensed a male spirit earlier in the night. At this time of the night, with no interruptions, we were guaranteed a successful investigation!

Unexpectedly, we captured nothing on video or film (digital camera) until we decided to use our EMF sensor that flashes a light based on the strength of the energy surrounding the sensor. We first took note of the wires and pipes throughout the ceiling and conducted experiments noting the readings and flashes (or non-flashing) of light from the EMF detector. When we were comfortable with our surroundings, realizing which wires and pipes triggered the meter, I began video taping Hans who held the EMF sensor. With all lights on, in “normal” recording conditions, I felt the presence of a man near me. I then began talking to him, verbally so my voice is heard on the video recording, and asked him to go near Hans so that the EMF sensor would reveal the paranormal energy by flashing the light.

This part of the investigation took place near the antique, original basin where Lizzie allegedly washed herself and the hatchet after the murders (right).

To our amazement, after repeating some questions and guiding the spirit to Hans where he was holding the EMF sensor, the spirit began answering us through the number of flashes to our questions. We asked him to flash the sensor for yes. He obliged, causing the meter to flash only once upon answering certain questions. When asked to move closer to Hans, the sensor shot up, causing the light to flash repeatedly. Our video shows how this male spirit responded to us by reciprocating to each other through a method of science. The last request we asked of the spirit was for him to place his hand on the EMF sensor if he no longer wanted to talk with us. At this time we were not obtaining any readings on the EMF detector, yet I sensed that this spirit was ready to be left alone.

I promised him if he would place his hand on Hans’ hand, we would end the discussion and not bother him anymore. Within seconds, the reading exhibited by the EMF sensor displayed a strong rise in energy while the sensor light flashed rapidly and continuously for roughly 5 seconds and then abruptly stopped. We thanked the spirit and ended our short investigation of the Lizzie Borden house.

Note: While using the EMF sensor, we located an area that did not emanate any electrical currents causing the tool to react in any way. Upon asking questions of the spirit we discovered in the cellar, Hans stood motionless in the non-electrical area.

The entire Borden family has been buried together at the Oak Grove Cemetery located only blocks from the Borden house. Upon her death in 1927, Lizzie requested that she be buried with the rest of her family.

While spending our night at the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast, we met the couple who reserved the rooms adjacent to us; Lizzie's and Emma's bedrooms. We learned that Otis (our rather obvious nickname for the "boyfriend") and his girlfriend (now wife) travel constantly to visit "odd" locations, and that Otis is author of a great website called Odd Things I've Seen. Please take some time to read over the articles he wrote based on their experience from a different perspective of the night we shared at the Borden home.
