🪓 The Borden Family: Blood, Secrets & Second Street Tensions (Part 1)
Before hatchets and hauntings, there was a family bound by wealth—and fractured by resentment. In Part 1 of our two-part dive into the infamous Lizzie Borden case, we peel back the wallpaper on the people inside the Second Street house long before the murders ever happened.
Behind every ghost story is a human story—and this one is complicated.
👨👩👧👧 Meet the entire Borden household: the stern father, the unwanted stepmother, the loyal sister, and the woman at the center of it all—Lizzie
🧤 The signs of long-simmering resentment and toxic family dynamics
🍖 Spoiled mutton, suspicious behavior, and a heatwave that made everything worse
🕰️ A detailed timeline of what happened the morning of the murders
🔍 The early investigation: strange behavior, sketchy alibis, and a burned dress
⚖️ The first cracks in Lizzie’s story that made the police—and the public—start asking questions
Whether you're team "She did it" or team "Set up!", this case will leave you questioning what we think we know—and what might still be lingering behind locked doors. So grab your hatchet—metaphorically speaking—and prepare to slice through the layers of this dark and twisted tale.
