Fall River takes home creepiest place to visit in Massachusetts honors

It is a place well known to just about everyone in Fall River, if not Massachusetts, and most can agree that it can be pretty creepy.

Over the weekend, Thrillist listed the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast as the creepiest place to visit in Massachusetts.

“In case you don’t remember the world’s most disturbing nursery rhyme, Lizzie Borden hacked up her parents with an axe back in 1892. And now, you can sleep at the delightful B&B/infamous crime scene where it all happened” stated Camille Dodero. “On your visit, you’ll sleep at the Bordens’ home, eat their last meal (Johnnycakes and eggs), and sleep in the bedroom where the body of Lizzie’s stepmother was found. After a stay there, I can attest: This home painstakingly furnished to look exactly as it did on the morning of the murders will creep you right out. Daytime tours accommodate lame-o wusses. Better, though, the 175-year-old property hosts up to 20 overnight guests, one of whom will invariably pull out the house ouija board after the evening guide departs and try to contact Lizzie. I did not sleep a wink.”

As many of us know, the home is known for the double murder of Abby and Andrew Borden.

For Lizzie Borden buffs, the home she spent her days in after her acquittal, Maplecroft, was put up for sale at the end of August.

The White Horse Tavern in Newport came in as the creepiest place to visit in Rhode Island.
