The infamous house is known for being the site where Lizzie Borden was accused of the brutal murder of her father and stepmother in 1892. The team is called in to investigate claims of unexplained footsteps, voices, and apparitions that have been reported by staff and guests.
The TAPS team arrives at the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast and immediately sets up their equipment. They split into teams to cover all areas of the house, including Lizzie's bedroom, the basement, and the infamous living room where the murders took place. The team members communicate via walkie-talkies and use their specialized equipment to try and capture evidence of paranormal activity.
During their investigation, the team experiences several unusual occurrences. They hear unexplained footsteps and disembodied voices, and their equipment detects fluctuations in electromagnetic fields. In Lizzie's bedroom, the team discovers a child's shoe that is believed to have belonged to one of the victims. They also find an old hymnal in the basement that could potentially be tied to the Borden family. The team reviews their evidence and tries to piece together what they have discovered.
As the investigation continues, the team decides to hold a seance in the living room where the murders took place. They invite a psychic medium to join them and attempt to make contact with any spirits that may be present. The seance proves to be a powerful and emotional experience for everyone involved.
At the end of the episode, the team presents their findings to the staff and owners of the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast. They share their evidence, including audio recordings, video footage, and photos. The team members discuss their theories about the activity and offer their recommendations on how the staff can best deal with the paranormal occurrences.
