drunken absurdity takes part in American paranormal history






On August 4th 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were brutally hacked to death with a hatchet in their home in Fall River, Massachutes. Home at the time was their daughter Lizze, who found the bodies, and a maid asleep in her 3rd floor bedroom. Despite overwhelming evidence and motive, Lizzie was acquited of the horrific murders after a sensational trial that rocked the American press and public. She died years later in Fall River, a rich spinster. The Borden house is said to be the most haunted house in America....

Tonight, The Schirling and his woman will be guests at the Borden House, sleeping in the same room that Abby Borden was discovered in, with 14 axe blows to the head. There is to be a seance, tour of the house, and the local cemetary that the family is buried in. I am preparing for this event by downing a bottle of scotch and reading all I can about the infamous case............

Will I see ghastly specters? Maybe. Will I be drunk and document the experience with photos and interviews? Absolutely.

More to come
