The Shadow Signal

After the axe fell silent at 92 Second Street, Lizzie Borden built a mansion called Maplecroft—a refuge from accusation and shame. But legend says she didn’t live there alone. From whispered séances and dimly lit parlors to subtle hauntings that still echo through the Queen Anne halls, this episode explores the strange afterlife of Lizzie Borden’s story: the loneliness, the Spiritualist rumors, and the lingering presence of a woman who may never have stopped defending herself—even from beyond the veil.

In November 1989, Linda Napolitano—using the pseudonym “Cortile”—claimed she was abducted from her 12th-floor Manhattan apartment by alien beings who levitated her through a closed window into a hovering craft near the Brooklyn Bridge. Her account, investigated and publicized by ufologist Budd Hopkins, included supposed high-level witnesses, including two security agents and even the then-U.N. Secretary-General. Though Linda reported earlier abductions and alleged continued alien interest in her family, the case became highly controversial due to unverifiable witnesses, criticism of Hopkins’ investigative methods, and later challenges from his ex-wife, Carol Rainey. The story resurfaced in 2024 through a Netflix docuseries, prompting Linda to file a lawsuit for defamation. The case remains one of the most debated abduction narratives in UFO lore.
