February 16: FANGORIA meets Lizzie Borden?!

On March 4 and 5, paranormal investigators for the new FangoriaTV HD channel series GHOST STORIES EVP will descend upon 92 Second Street in Fall River, MA in an attempt to contact the spirits of Andrew and Abby Borden. In 1892, the married couple were the victims of an ax-wielding maniac, who many believed to be their daughter, Lizzie Borden, a 26-year-old spinster.

Through a process known as Electronic Voice Phenomena (popularized in the recent hit film WHITE NOISE) and utilizing a huge range of scientific analysis equipment including heat sensors, infrared lighting and ultra-sensitive microphones, the experienced investigators will attempt to deduce an answer from the beyond regarding the events that led to Mr. and Mrs. Borden’s unfortunate demises. Lizzie was tried for the crimes but acquitted, and the question of her guilt will forever remain clouded by uncertainty. Lizzie’s salacious trial set the tone for future criminal proceedings including more recent sensational murder trials, where the accused were presumed guilty by the public at large, but found innocent by their peers. Lizzie lived in seclusion for the remainder of her life, not far from the Borden crime scene, and never admitted any wrongdoing, despite her oft-peculiar behavior.

In a statement, paranormal investigator Garrett Husveth (pictured) explains what to expect from the two-day haunt jaunt: "We hope to establish some kind of communication with any discarnate entities on our initial trip to the Lizzie Borden house. As with most of our field research, we’ll be combining age-old parapsychological protocols with modern high technology on this investigation. This includes surveillance systems, remote digital thermometers, advanced voice analysis software, magnetometers and computers. Much of our evidence analysis will be taking place on site. Either via Electronic Voice Phenomena or physical phenomena, we hope to come away from the investigation with building blocks for our case of a haunting at the Lizzie Borden house."

Husveth and partner Al Rauber are two of America’s premier "ghost hunters" and have completed hundreds of sessions throughout North America and Europe. The men are also regular advisors to many TV shows, networks and movies including UNSOLVED MYSTERIES, ENCOUNTERS, THE OTHER SIDE, SIGHTINGS, The History Channel, Fox and the Travel Channel, among others.
