The Pandemonium Witches: Murders, Mystery, and Mayhem

S1.E77 - Forty Whacks & The Haunted Axe: The Chilling Tale of Lizzie Borden


Listen Later

This week, Rachel, Cat, and Em dive axe-first into one of America's most infamous murder cases - the story of Elizabeth “Lizzie” Andrew Borden.

Accused of brutally murdering her father and stepmother in 1892, Lizzie was tried and acquitted… but the mystery (and the ghost stories) never died.

Join us as we hack into the twisted timeline of events, the scandalous trial, and the legacy Lizzie left behind - including a house that’s reportedly just as haunted as her reputation.

Expect Victorian repression, questionable alibis, spectral sightings, and the occasional unhinged theory from Cat. (Spoiler: the ghost is NOT more polite than the living.)

Was Lizzie a cold-blooded killer, a misunderstood daughter, or just a victim of the patriarchy and poor press?

Tune in for a paranormal-packed, true crime romp through Fall River’s darkest legend.
