Ep 6. The Murders That Haunt the Lizzie Borden House

The sixth episode of season 2 of BuzzFeed Unsolved: Supernatural is titled "The Murders That Haunt the Lizzie Borden House." In this episode, hosts Ryan Bergara and Shane Madej investigate one of the most infamous murder cases in American history: the Borden family murders of 1892.

The Borden family lived in a wealthy neighborhood in Fall River, Massachusetts. On August 4, 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were found brutally murdered in their home. Their daughter Lizzie, who was in the house at the time of the murders, was arrested and charged with the crimes. Despite circumstantial evidence against her, Lizzie was eventually acquitted of the murders. The case remains unsolved to this day.

The Lizzie Borden House, where the murders took place, is now a museum and bed and breakfast. It's also rumored to be haunted by the spirits of the Borden family and those who died violent deaths in the house.

Ryan and Shane begin their investigation by visiting the Lizzie Borden House. They speak with the current owner, who shares some of her own paranormal experiences in the house. They also interview a historian who has extensively researched the Borden family and the murders. The historian provides insight into the family dynamics and possible motives for the murders.

The hosts then conduct a nighttime investigation of the house. They use various equipment, including thermal cameras and an EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) recorder, to try and capture evidence of paranormal activity. They also conduct a seance in the room where Abby Borden was murdered, hoping to make contact with her spirit.

Throughout the investigation, the hosts experience several unexplained occurrences, including strange noises and temperature fluctuations. They also capture some compelling EVPs and thermal footage. However, they ultimately conclude that it's impossible to definitively prove whether or not the house is haunted by the spirits of the Borden family.

"The Murders That Haunt the Lizzie Borden House" is a fascinating look at one of the most infamous murder cases in American history and the rumors of paranormal activity that surround it. Ryan and Shane's investigation is thorough and respectful, and their skeptical approach makes for a compelling episode.
