Lizzie Borden House

After watching Lee Ann’s appearance on the Montel Williams show on Halloween, she stated that they believe Mr. Borden does indeed walk up and down the front, main staircase, and throughout the hallways of the house. I was relieved to hear that what my intuition established is also the belief of the homeowners.

The manifestations of who we believed to be Emma Borden include the following orbs captured at different times in the same location. In the front parlor, the couch where Hans and I sat to watch the séance performances (below):

While investigating our room, the John Morse Room, were Abby Borden was murdered, I sat on the edge of the bed leaning over where her body was found while Hans recorded my actions with an infrared video camera. (See photos below.)

I rarely use my quartz pendulum and decided with the energy in this particular room, we may have a successful result. I held the quartz pendulum over where Abby’s feet would have been, roughly six inches from the floor. I slowly moved my hand up the length of “the body”. As I moved up to where Abby’s head was located, the quartz of the pendulum felt and looked as if I was pushing it through a wall of water.

The pendulum actually stopped in mid-air, while I moved my hand holding the ball of the change along the length of the floor. When tension was at its fullest, the quartz pendulum slowly followed the rest of my hand. This occurred numerous times, and was also experienced by one of the Borden house staff members.

My only assumption of this particular situation is the way the energy in the quartz reacted against the energy of death where Abby was found. I have never had this experience before when using quartz and hope to encounter it again in future investigations. It is now one of my top research topics of interest, conducting experiments and documenting the occurrences.

Later in the night Hans and I set our infrared vision video camera on a chair to film the area of the John Morse room where Abby’s body was found. He and I sat on the opposite side of the room and discussed the playful séance we participated in earlier in the night. While watching this footage upon our return home, the only paranormal anomaly we captured on video was an orb manifesting at the foot of the bed, and as it flew toward the dresser, it actually turned around the bed post.

Note: No bugs were in the room nor did any movement take place while recording this footage.

Very early in the morning I was awakened by a constant tapping on our door. Granted, the John Morse room is located right at the top of the stairs and in front of one of the bathrooms, but I did not hear footsteps nor did I see any shadows created by the living. I lay there quietly, watching under the 2-inch gap between the bottom of the door and the floor. I saw now shadows, I saw no movement, but I did sense paranormal energy. I finally sat and up and in a whisper asked whom I believed to be Abby checking up on us to please be quiet so we could get another hour of sleep. Remarkably the tapping discontinued, though I was unable to fall back to sleep due to the constant revving engines of the bus station traffic.
