The Lizzie Borden House at 230 Second Street in Fall River, Massachusetts, is the former home of the Borden family and the location of the notorious 1892 unsolved double murder of Andrew and Abby Borden. Lizzie Borden was arrested in connection with the crimes and later acquitted; the house's association with that case is the primary source of its historical significance. In later decades the property has been used as a museum and offered to the public as a bed-and-breakfast, and it has been bought and sold in recent years (a 2017 archival report notes a Dallas buyer had intended to convert it to a B&B but faced a municipal variance denial and subsequently listed the house for sale). Though the supplied sources do not include firsthand paranormal witness statements or investigator reports, the house figures in popular-cultural accounts of hauntings tied to the Lizzie Borden case. It has been presented to mass audiences as a site of paranormal interest (for example, a Wikidata entry lists a Ghost Adventures episode featuring the house), and its operation as a museum and B&B has reinforced its role in regional folklore and tourist interest surrounding the Borden murders. The provided materials do not name specific supernatural entities or document precise phenomena such as dated apparitions or physical effects.
