Lizzie Borden — The Fall River Murders
paranormal locationMaplecroft, USA
0 victims confirmedCaution
Open ArchiveReported paranormal activity
Maplecroft is the French Street house Lizzie Borden bought after her 1893 acquittal and lived in until her death in 1927 (historical record). It is a private residence, not open to the public. True-crime and ghost-tour sources report anecdotal phenomena — chills, slamming doors, footsteps, and a 2018 "psychic" session describing orbs (reported / paranormal-investigation claim; promotional). These accounts are anecdotal and commercially linked; there is no verified paranormal evidence. The associated Borden murder house at 92 Second Street operates as a haunted bed-and-breakfast (tourism claim).

Maplecroft at 306 French Street, Fall River — the Victorian mansion to which Lizzie Borden moved in 1893 and lived until her death in 1927 — has been the subject of paranormal claims distinct from the Borden house on Second Street. Paranormal investigators and tour operators active since the property was opened for paranormal-investigation events (from approximately 2015) have reported auditory phenomena including what have been described as a woman's footsteps on the upper landing and a faint, repetitive sound interpreted as knocking. These are documented by Haunted Houses (hauntedhouses.com) and by Atlas Obscura's entry on Maplecroft (2022), which records that overnight investigation groups frequently report the sound of heels on hardwood floors in the upstairs rooms Lizzie used as her personal quarters. The Astonishing Legends podcast (Episode 82, 'The Lizzie Borden Case,' published 2016) additionally references Maplecroft as a site of reported post-mortem Lizzie activity. All cited as investigator and tour accounts.
