About this episode
This episode explores the strange afterlife of Lizzie Borden’s story, including hauntings and Spiritualist rumors surrounding her mansion, Maplecroft.
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.
