In 1892, Lizzie Borden was the main suspect for the axe murders of her father and stepmother. Borden was tried and acquitted of the murders, and guests who visit Lizzie’s house in Fall River, Massachusetts say she can be heard cackling about it.

You can experience the paranormal activity yourself by visiting the Lizzie Borden House, which is now a museum and bed and breakfast.
