[narrator] Lizzie Borden,
the most famous female ax murderer of all time.
♪ Lizzie Borden took an ax ♪
♪ And gave her mother 40 whacks ♪
[screams]
[narrator] In 1892, she was accused of hacking
her father and stepmother to death with a hatchet.
Now, 129 years later,
for the first time ever,
four paranormal experts
gather to investigate a dark family secret.
[Chris] What the...
Lizzie's present too, but she's waiting.
[Sam] She is, she's watching.
[narrator] Rumors of black magic, the occult, and a dark force
that will forever haunt generations in life,
[grunts]
And in death.
It's hovering above me right now.
[disembodied voice speaking]
Oh, my God.
Did you hear that?
[narrator] Beware the curse of Lizzie Borden.
[narrator] I first heard about the curse of Lizzie Borden
in the winter of 2021.
Rumors that a dark force, a demonic energy...
- [thump] - [Dave] Are you hearing that?
Something is knocking on the underside of the table,
moving around us.
[narrator] ...had been following
the Borden family for generations.
[Chris] I think Lizzie's present too, she's waiting.
[Dave] She is, she's watching.
[objects clattering]
You okay Dave? Yeah, I don't know what's going on there, buddy.
[Chris] It's her, just relax.
Are you choosing Dave?
[narrator] I gathered together a group of experts
to conduct one of the most dangerous paranormal rituals,
a seance in the house.
[Chris] Just trust me, Dave, it's okay.
No, I don't want to let go.
[narrator] To get to the bottom of the family curse.
Trust me, Dave, okay?
[narrator] Chris Fleming, a renowned psychic medium, will lead the seance.
Take the pen.
[narrator] His job?
To keep us safe from dark forces.
Luann Joly, a local paranormal expert,
who has investigated the house countless times.
[Chris] Who are you?
[narrator] And finally, Sam Baltrusis.
Sam is a direct descendant of Lizzie,
who believes his family has been cursed for generations.
Okay, I don't have control of my arm and I don't like this at all.
- [Chris] I know that, Dave, trust me. - [Luann] You're okay.
Just pulled into the infamous Lizzie Borden murder house.
It's been almost a decade since I was here,
and it's the stuff of nightmares.
[narrator] Disembodied voices, and cries in the night,
footsteps falling throughout the entire house.
I mean, this house is clearly haunted.
It's been investigated hundreds of times, but...
this is the first time that we're going to take on
the Lizzie Borden curse.
Could there be a Borden family curse?
And was Lizzie a victim?
Did an evil entity take possession of her body
and turn her into a cold blooded killer?
[screams]
Can the curse be broken?
Hopefully we'll get those answers during the next few days.
[narrator] It all began on the morning of August 4th, 1892,
when Fall River Massachusetts police
were called to investigate a murder
at the home of respected businessman,
Andrew Borden, Lizzie's father.
[footsteps]
[camera shutter clicking]
[narrator] It was a gruesome scene.
[narrator] Andrew's face had been bludgeoned 11 times with a hatchet.
The corpse, still bleeding,
suggesting that he had been murdered within the hour.
His nose had been completely severed from his face.
His eyeball left dangling on his cheekbone.
The bloody scene continued upstairs,
where Andrew's wife, Abby Borden,
stepmother to Lizzie and Emma Borden,
was found lying face down in a pool of blood,
her head smashed to pieces.
Of the two murders, Abby's was far more gruesome,
with 18 savage hacks delivered to her head.
Only Lizzie and the Bordens' maid were home at the time of the attacks.
Lizzie's responses to police
were at times strange and contradictory,
and she was immediately considered the main suspect.
You know, I didn't come here to solve a crime.
I didn't come here to put the thumbtack
in the final analysis of the Lizzie Borden case.
We came here to understand,
could there be a dark force at work,
feeding off the tortured, fractured souls
that were left behind by the Borden family?
Luann. Well, thanks a lot for coming back.
- Shall we get started? - Definitely.
Great, let me give you a hand.
[narrator] Luann Joly has had some strange experiences
in the Borden house.
She's even collected audio recordings
she believes are directly from Lizzie herself.
[Dave] This is a...
I gotta tell ya, this is weird.
And I go into a lot of haunted locations.
This place left an indelible mark on me,
just walking back in, already I get this
kind of apprehension feeling in the middle of my chest.
Can't say it's fear, but it's definitely uncomfortable.
I mean, you've been here three or four times.
What are you picking, just walking back in again?
It's a very intimidating house.
And every time I walk in here,
I feel it emotionally and physically.
It's heavy.
[narrator] Could we already be feeling
the dark energy from the family curse?
Before investigating the house,
let's go over the murder suspects.
[narrator] The Lizzie Borden trial was the O.J. Simpson case of its day.
Everyone talked about this,
but in fact, Lizzie Borden was eventually acquitted of these murders.
The petite, devout, and devoted daughter,
could never have wielded a heavy hatchet,
decimating half of Andrew's face
and pulverizing an equal portion of Abby's skull.
Or could she?
[Dave] This definitely seems like it would be
a case of something with passion,
meaning this killer was connected to the family somehow.
[narrator] And if not Lizzie, then who?
Lizzie's sister Emma was out of town that day,
but Lizzie and Emma's uncle, John Morse,
was visiting the family and claimed he left
before the murders took place.
He was ruled out as a suspect
after he provided an overly detailed alibi.
There were rumors Morse dabbled in the occult,
and even allegations of witchcraft in his lineage,
dating back to the late 1600s.
Could he be the origin of the Borden family curse?
Did he conjure and bring a dark force into the Borden home?
Or was he himself possessed by demonic energies
that drove him to commit murder?
One thing's for sure,
John Morse was strong enough to wield the weapon,
and he knew how to use it.
[Luann] He was a butcher.
And a butcher did also carry something
very similar to an ax.
[Dave] Or was it someone else?
Who are some of our other eligible suspects?
What do we know about Bridget, the housekeeper?
[Luann] Bridget wasn't feeling well that day
and ended up going upstairs and laying down,
when the murders actually happened.
[Dave] Bridget was rumored to be quite protective of Lizzie.
So was there an injustice that she witnessed in that house
that sparked this murderous rage?
[Luann] She's present in the house and didn't hear a thing?
[screams]
But we're looking at it again from a logical perspective,
of here's a crime, here's a perpetrator, here's how it's done.
We're not taking in, or maybe most of the world
isn't taking in the possibility of a paranormal effect.
[narrator] It's time to investigate the presence of a dark force.
And I think we're gonna definitely need some help from somebody else.
I know the guy I might have to call in for this,
somebody that is a little bit more in tune to that side.
[narrator] Chris Fleming has been a psychic medium for over 25 years.
If anyone can get in touch and connect
with the spirits or demonic force in this house,
and get to the bottom of the Lizzie Borden family curse,
I know Chris Fleming is the guy.
We both had traumatic experiences here.
Lizzie, of course, is the main focus of this house,
but I don't know exactly what we're dealing with,
and how much of it is projected from her
- Mm-hmm. - or something projecting through her.
And that's why I thought I could use your expertise.
You've had experiences with the demonic and very malevolent ghosts.
Are you ready to do this again?
I've been wanting to come back here for 10 years.
[Dave] All right, well, we got a big job ahead of us.
I say we investigate it,
and see if we can break down some answers.
Luann Joly, this is Chris Fleming.
- Hi, very nice to meet you. - So nice to meet you.
Thank you. Dave told me a little bit about your situation,
but I'm interested in hearing what you've been going through.
I feel like Lizzie somehow wants to communicate with me,
- Okay. - but there are so many other spirits in the house,
that it can be difficult for her,
and sometimes they're violent.
They are very verbal in this house.
[narrator] Knowing that there may be a powerful malevolent force here,
it's time to bring in Sam Baltrusis.
He's the one person who has a unique connection
to both the Borden murder house
and the dark energy it holds.
Hey, guys.
- I've got a special guest who's gonna join us. - How are you?
Sam, if you'd like to have a seat.
Sam Baltrusis is a author.
He's written over 13 different books,
and he is actually related to the Borden family.
[Sam] I've always been drawn to the Lizzie Borden case,
but it wasn't until my mother did genealogical research on her paternal family line,
that we discovered that I'm twice related to the Bordens,
with connections going back to several families from 17th century New England.
Now that I know that I'm connected to the Borden family
and to a lot of crimes that are horrific,
my mission in life is to try to find some solution
to help these people heal in the afterlife.
[Dave] All right, so here's the game plan for tonight.
Sam will be rejoining us tomorrow for the seance,
but in the meantime, Chris and Luann,
let's do a baseline sweep of the house.
I'm gonna sit at base camp and keep an eye on the entire investigation.
I'd really like you to go along with Luann and observe.
Run your own recorder,
- Okay. - and see if you're able to get any
corroborating evidence with hers.
Luann, you do what you do best, run your recorder.
See if Lizzie or any of the other spirits of this house
are ready to come out and talk tonight.
I'm gonna sit here and observe from base camp,
but I want you to both be careful.
You're both sensitive, you're both open,
and it obviously can affect you physically and mentally.
We'll gather what tools you'd like to take up.
Let's see what we can get tonight,
and what the spirits have to share with us.
Be careful, let's go lights out.
We have the entire house rigged.
We've got GoPros, we've got night vision cameras.
We've got security cameras
covering just about every inch of this house.
If something happens, we're gonna catch it.
[Chris] All right, Dave, see you in a bit.
[Dave] All right, be safe.
[Chris] Luann, I'm gonna follow behind you.
[Luann] Okay. Good idea.
[Chris] Luann, when I was here 10 years ago,
I just want to tell you this real quickly,
I was standing just outside this hallway,
and I said, "Did you do it, who did it?"
[woman's voice speaking]
[Chris] Holy [bleep].
Did you just hear that?
And I heard what I believe sounds,
a woman saying, "It wasn't me."
It was coming from here in this area.
[Luann] Wow.
[narrator] They're now entering the Abby Borden murder room
where Abby's body was found bludgeoned next to the bed.
[Luann on camera] This area right here
is where you get really disoriented,
and you get that funhouse feeling.
You kind of don't feel so good all of a sudden.
[narrator] Luann is clearly affected by something in that room.
[Chris on camera] Let's try something, all right?
I'm going to record,
Abby Borden, are you here with us?
See how that just beeped louder when I said something?
Chris is utilizing the Geiger counter as a form of ITC,
trying to communicate and have the spirits
influence the energy around it, in different patterns.
Once for yes, twice for no,
asking questions and holding up fingers
to see how many beeps it will give.
[Chris on camera] Abby, can you beep four times in a row?
[four beeps]
[Chris] It just hit four!
It just went beep, beep, beep, beep in a sequence of four.
I have never seen that.
[Chris on camera] I'll do a quick EVP here.
Go ahead.
[Luann on camera] Lizzie, do you have anything to tell us?
[on EVP recording] Do you have anything to tell us?
[Chris] Ooh, listen to that.
There is something there.
[Luann on camera] Do you have anything to tell us?
[Chris] I'm here.
She said, "I'm here?"
[Luann] Yeah.
[Chris] Dave, this is key.
[Dave] Yeah, I could hear you from down here. The EVP was really clear.
-[Chris on radio] You heard it? -[Dave on radio] Yes,
stick with it, keep going,
you've got something intelligent responding. Get it.
[Chris] Okay, let's have some more questions.
Let's go on to the other rooms.
Chris is getting some unique... communication.
Appears to be intelligent in the way
that it's trying to make itself known.
Okay, now they're in Lizzie Borden's bedroom.
[Chris] Go ahead and ask a question, Luann.
[Luann] Lizzie, are you here with us?
[rustling sound]
Did you hear that?
Like from this wall, um...
But that was like direct voice phenomenon, that wasn't EVP.
What's on the opposite side of this room?
[Luann] Um...
[Chris] Okay, wait a minute, this is the Borden, the, the...
- Andrew Borden's room though... - Right here, right?
[Luann] Yes.
[Chris] I had an experience here, but I want you
to tell me if you've had any experiences over here.
[Luann] Okay.
[Chris] When I was here 11 years ago,
we came through here and we smelled, like, rotting flesh.
Like, just, it was horrific.
It makes sense when I was told later
that one of the bodies were laid down
on the dining room table for a while,
so the whole house stunk.
So that would make sense that this house
probably reeked of rotting flesh.
Uh, and I just saw, it was almost like a child,
a little girl that was standing right here for a second and then vanished.
Um, let me ask.
Was there a little girl that was just standing here?
I know I saw you.
Speak to me please.
What is your name?
What... What I saw as... I was talking to Luann,
saw something, corner of my eyes and as I looked,
it was about this tall,
but it was on this step or the next step,
like a little girl standing right here for a few seconds
and then just vanished, gone.
So obviously it was coming into the room
or standing outside to watch what we were doing.
It was curious what we were discussing.
How many spirits are in this house?
[Luann on recording] How many spirits are in this house?
What the...
[Dave on radio] Whoa, was that a growl?
- [bleep]. - Wow.
[Dave on radio] Wow, that sounded like a demonic growl,
It's as if we angered something.
Let's keep going.
We've got limited time in that room,
and I would like you to try to hit the upstairs room
at least for a few minutes.
[Chris] Now I've never been upstairs.
- [Luann] You haven't? - [Chris] No.
- [Luann] This room... - [Chris] I remember this room.
[Luann] ...seems to have a lot of activity in it.
[narrator] They're now heading up to the attic, to one of the maid's rooms,
known to be a paranormal hotspot.
[Luann on radio] Well...
- [sighs] - if you lay on the bed, lay across it sideways,
lay on the bed with your legs hanging open, over the edge.
- Okay. - And something will grab your legs,
or it will lift them up, I've seen both.
[Chris] So there was somebody pulled underneath the bed?
[Luann] Yes.
And it happens when you're awake.
It happens in front of witnesses.
[Chris] Okay.
[Chris] Who's the one that's pulling on people's feet?
Whoa, I caught something fly behind you.
[Dave on radio] Whoa, wait, what was that?
Was that a spirit light?
[Chris] Yep, it was, like, right where your hand is.
Come touch my hand.
[Chris] I'm gonna lean up.
I'm almost certain it was, like, a white ball of energy or, like, an anomaly.
[Chris on recording] I'm almost certain it was like...
[Chris] Oh, camera's dead.
[Chris on radio] Dave, my camera just went dead.
That was a brand new battery, brand new battery.
Why don't we wrap it up for tonight?
We've got a lot to go over and discuss.
And uh we'll meet down here in the, uh, front room again.
Okay, be there in a second.
[Dave] All right, so why don't we break down.
We've had a long day, but before we call it a night,
I'd like to try one more thing.
And that's to take the SLS camera to the sitting room
where Andrew Borden was murdered.
[Chris] This is the area here that Andrew Borden died.
[Dave] Chris is using a specialized light sensor camera,
which will detect human forms.
And sometimes in these haunted locations,
it'll map out forms that we can't even see with the naked eye.
[Chris] Oh! Something's in the doorway, Dave.
[Dave] What?
[Chris] Oh, Now it's gone. You just walked through it.
- [Dave] Did it? - [Chris] Holy crap.
[Dave] Something just appeared in the doorway?
[Chris] Yes, and it was small. You walked through it.
- [Dave] Were you videotaping? - [Chris] Yes.
[Chris on recording] Something's in the doorway, Dave.
- [Dave on recording] What? - [Chris on recording] You just walked through it.
[Chris] Oh, jeez, something just raced right across the room,
a black shadow.
While we're over by the stairs,
Dave, he says out to the spirit,
he says something like, "Are you here?"
[Dave] Miss Borden, are you here?
[banging from the radiator]
[Dave] What was that?
Did you just hear the banging?
Yeah, it was just like, it would have been right here.
Could it have been the radiator?
That's like two knocks, bang, bang.
Right? Two means yes. I know that.
That's what I use for direct response method,
two for yes, one for no, but it was metallic.
[Dave] None of us have heard that sound
come from the radiator since we've been here.
It's a possibility, but I... I can't say for certain.
[Chris] That was actually creepy.
[Dave] All right, let's call it a night.
We'll get up early, review the evidence,
and see what we were able to uncover tonight.
So, Chris, Luann, and I are spending
the remainder of the night here.
Would you be open to the idea of spending one of the nights here with us?
Yeah. Oh, my God, oh, I'd love to.
Okay.
It was definitely an eventful night,
and I'm so happy that Chris was able
to join Luann and I for this investigation.
Something's going on here,
and this being my full night back in the house to spend the night,
I'd be lying if I didn't say, there was some apprehension,
but I'm excited to see what happens.
We'll check in again with you tomorrow.
[spooky music playing]
[Dave] Chris is busy analyzing the evidence from last night's investigation.
So while he's doing that, I'm gonna have Luann
take me around the house to review
some of the EVPs that they captured.
[Luann] How was your night?
[Dave] I couldn't sleep well.
Here is the spot where Abigail Borden was murdered.
[Luann] Yes.
Even walking in here is...
hard.
[slashing sound]
[Dave] And you and Chris captured more EVP in this room?
- [Luann] Yes. - [Dave] Okay.
[Luann] A lot of EVP in this room.
[Chris on radio] I'll do a quick EVP here.
[Dave on radio] Go ahead.
[Luann on radio] Lizzie, do you have anything to tell us?
Starting here, what did you guys capture in this room?
[radio static crackling]
[Dave] I mean, that's really creepy.
You can hear that.
And it's like she's calling out like she's crying.
"I'm a good daughter."
[Luann] Yes.
[Dave] There were always rumors of unspeakable conduct coming from the Borden home.
Allegations that Lizzie's father, Andrew Borden, may have abused her.
If true, did years of abuse finally drive Lizzie to seek vengeance,
and could that blood lust have spilled out on to her stepmother, Abby,
who really did nothing to stop the abuse?
In reality, Abby was Lizzie and Emma's stepmother,
whom Lizzie referred to as Mrs. Borden,
when she was questioned by the police.
[Luann] That particular EVP, can reverse.
[Dave] So wait a minute. You've taken the audio and played it backwards?
[Luann] Exactly.
What did you capture or think you captured then?
[Luann] Well, that's the thing,
it sounds pretty much like the same voice,
like a woman in distress.
And it's clearer reversed.
[radio interference]
[Dave] If we're hearing Lizzie claiming
or proclaiming her innocence in the first EVP,
we play it back.
"My daughter was raped."
I mean, I hear it. I hear it [bleep] dead on.
That's exactly what's playing to us right now.
Abigail Borden was not Lizzie's mom.
Abigail Borden was her stepmother.
[Luann] Exactly.
[Dave] Her actual mother
died when Lizzie was very young.
Could it be the spirit of her biological mother,
trying to give us some insight into what happened?
Lizzy seems to be verbalizing, vocalizing
between the other side and here, trying to fill us in,
trying to help us understand what's taken place here.
[Luann] Sometimes if you stand right in this location right here,
they want to push you, push you in that...
- [Dave] Are you okay? - [Luann] Yeah.
This area right here is where you get really disoriented
and you get that funhouse feeling.
Yeah, I kind of don't feel so good all of a sudden.
Just now, you weren't just re-enacting that for me.
- No, no. - You feel like something's moving you.
Something is moving Luann, pushing her,
shoving or creating this disturbance
so she can't feel equilibrium.
There is so much going on.
I don't even know where we begin
to start to discern who's who, and what's what,
and we're still accepting the fact that these are human spirits.
The other side is wrought with confusion,
and dark entities like to take on the presence of human forms.
And that's what leads to... possession.
That's what leads to demonic infestation.
I don't know what we're dealing with here specifically,
but I'm certainly gonna be a lot more careful
as we continue to move through this investigation over the next couple of days.
So I have something really scary that I want to play for you.
And this, I think might be the negative presence in the house.
[disembodied voice speaking on recording]
[Dave] Anvelo. What is that, a name?
[narrator] Could this be the demonic presence in the house?
The very thing causing the plague on the Borden family.
There is definitely some kind of
oppressive presence in this house,
and it's starting to make me very uncomfortable.
And who is it or what is it, that's really trying to come through?
I have no idea where this is going. Part of me is excited,
and part of me is absolutely terrified.
Hey, guys, Sam is back here with us,
and we've had some weird experiences here.
Um, Chris, 10 years ago, myself, 10 years ago,
Ah, activity, sounds, screams, voices, EVPs.
And we're trying to piece this together to understand
what's going on in this area
that it is so active with the supernatural.
And why is it affecting the Borden family so deeply?
Is there any truth to this Borden family curse in your opinion?
Well, if you look at our backstory,
it's definitely a lot of blood,
and a lot of murders that happened through our history.
Now there is one murder that was sensational, that happened in 1832,
and it involves one of my distant cousins.
Her name is Sarah Maria Cornell.
[narrator] According to Sam, a Methodist minister,
Reverend Ephram Avery was strongly suspected
of both the rape and murder of Sarah Cornell,
and was rumored to be the father of her unborn child.
She was found hanging from a stag pole at a nearby farm.
Bruises were later discovered around her abdomen,
suggesting an abortion may have been attempted.
Sarah's murder was considered the crime of the century
until the Borden murders came about some 60 years later.
He was actually tried and acquitted,
very much like Lizzie Borden was acquitted
for the murders of the Borden family.
[narrator] Could this be evidence of a demonic force in the Borden family?
The devil? Like, that's terrifying to me.
[Dave] All right, Sam. Now going back to Lizzie,
do you believe that Lizzie Borden wielded the hatchet or ax,
or that something else was using her as a vessel for that murder?
[Sam] I absolutely think there was something more sinister at play.
She may have had sort of a dissociative episode
where she basically was not in her body when it happened.
I do think she did do it.
However, I don't think that she was in control of her body.
I do think that Lizzie is definitely predisposed
to being taken over by a dark entity.
She does not take ownership for the murders.
I don't think she will ever take ownership for the murders.
If she was possessed and killed her father,
she didn't kill her father, the devil did.
[Sam] Do I think she committed the murders?
I do physically, but something else did it.
No one would have accused this small-framed woman,
who was 32 years old, of killing her father and her stepmother.
That was the perfect person to take over, and the entity knew that.
[Dave] Now let's discuss Lizzie
and her sister Emma's uncle, John Morse.
If there is something to the rumors
that Morse dabbled in the occult,
what if Lizzie practiced with him
and something took her over then?
And it would explain too that during possession,
how people get much more strength, they're empowered.
And that would explain some of the violent brutality that took place.
What other strange ties to deaths
and murder and mayhem do you have?
There was Eliza.
Eliza Darlene, she was a Borden.
She actually married into the Borden family,
was not blood related to Lizzie Borden, but her husband was.
Where'd Eliza live?
Right next door.
[baby crying]
[Sam] One fateful day she actually took her two children,
threw them down a well.
[baby crying]
[eerie voice whispering]
[Dave] Well, then the question we need to ask,
is was Eliza possessed by a demonic force when she did it?
[Sam] And then she took a straight razor and cut her neck.
And Dave, I'm telling you, I'm channeling.
I'm, like, picking up something right now,
and I'm not really sure who it is, and maybe it's Eliza.
This seat is like the worst seat for me to do this, guys. I'm sorry.
Do you need to stand up?
I just don't, yeah, no,
this is like a really bad seat for me.
You've got a clairvoyant sitting in the spot
where Andrew Borden is brutally murdered.
I can understand that.
It's like, I'm a clairvoyant, I'm a psychometrist,
so I pick up on the energy. So I'm definitely feeling energy right now.
- [Dave] Let me grab my recorder. - Okay.
While you're talking, even if she's not fully channeling, if we can get anything.
No, don't apologize, man.
[Sam] No, no, no, no, this is what we do.
We're beginning session number one in the front parlor
at the site of Andrew Borden's murder.
Sam Baltrusis, you're feeling something come through you.
What are you feeling, Sam?
[Sam] I'm seeing a woman, and she's got beautiful hair. She's brushing her hair.
She loves her children, she loves her children so much.
[Dave] Eliza, is this you?
What do you want us to know?
What can we do to help you?
Help my children.
[Dave] Are your children with you on the other side, Eliza?
They're here.
And, Eliza, what can we do to help your children?
What would you like from us?
Keep them away from them.
Keep them away from him.
[Dave] From who, Eliza?
[Sam sobs]
[Dave] Are there other energies here
that are tormenting your children, Eliza?
[Sam sobbing] Yes, yes.
[Dave] Yes? Are they tormenting you as well?
Yes, yes, they won't let me come here.
[Dave] Are you in danger by coming here to talk to us about this?
[Sam sobbing] Yes, yes, they will kill my children, kill my children.
[Dave] But who are they?
Is she referring to the dark forces
that could be behind the family curse?
[narrator] Did a dark force make her kill her children?
And worse, does it continue to haunt Eliza and her children
even in the afterlife?
Chris Fleming took me aside afterwards
and said, Sam Baltrusis, he's the real deal.
Things I was picking up on,
he would immediately start to address and talk about,
I know he knew what was going on here.
These spirits are communicating through him,
the Borden bloodline.
They went to Sam Baltrusis.
Wow.
Now, do you feel residual energy of Eliza with you?
[Sam] It was definitely about her children.
And I definitely felt her pain and she's, she's desperate.
It's like you go into another world.
You can actually see it through her eyes, while you're in that state.
[Dave] So the idea that she killed her children,
it's not on her conscience?
Maybe she really is desperate to help those children.
She's desperate to help them because she believes
the dark entity from the curse is tormenting her and them,
even in the afterlife.
[Chris] When you were saying that they don't protect the children,
that there's something else,
what was it that she was afraid of?
[Sam] It was a monster.
That's the only way she could describe it.
I think that, that people misconstrue that entity as Andrew Borden,
and I don't think it's Andrew Borden.
[Chris] No, it's not.
I think it's something else.
[Dave] Anvelo has been this name that keeps coming up,
something very dark and demonic in nature.
But it's hiding.
Is it hiding because we're here looking for it?
Because it knows we're gonna challenge its authority in this house?
And after what happened to Sam Baltrusis,
channeling, something coming through him,
claiming to be Eliza, talking about her two children
being bullied or oppressed by something dark,
was that Anvelo?
[Chris] Guys I gotta walk out, I'm having a hard time breathing. I gotta, I can't.
[exhales] I gotta get some air.
[Dave] Yeah, this is getting really intense.
[exhales] Oh, my God, I can't breathe. I have a hard time breathing.
It's like, I'm being choked.
Like oxygen's coming out of me.
It was like the whole bunch of people are on top of you.
If you've ever had that happen,
like you play games when you were kids and everybody's on top of you,
you can't breathe, can't breathe, that type of thing.
There was a restriction of airflow.
I had to walk out. I couldn't take it anymore.
I was fighting it while I was in there.
[Dave] Okay, we're, we're obviously seeing evidence
that there is some sort of malevolent presence
here at the Borden house.
But you know who we haven't heard from yet
is one of the main suspects in these murders, John Morse.
Now John Morse was Lizzie's uncle.
He had visited Andrew Borden the day of the murders.
And when it comes to motive, the guy had plenty.
He and Mister Borden were reportedly overheard
having a heated argument over money right before the murders.
Plus, there's the matter of what he did for a living.
[Luann] He was a butcher,
and a butcher did also carry something
very similar to an ax.
[Dave] Well, let's not forget the rumors that he dabbled in the occult.
What if he unknowingly brought something into the Borden home?
Sam, is there another place we can go
to try to actually connect with John Morse?
Well, you know, there's a place in the Freetown State Forest,
actually where John Morse lived.
The house is no longer there,
but that would be the place to go.
[Dave] Now that we've all had a moment to breathe
and think about the dark force,
we need to figure out where it came from.
[Dave] The idea of a curse on this family
does it exist as though somebody specifically cursed
the bloodline of the Bordens?
Do you believe that it's a genetic passed down curse?
If you look at John Morse's backstory,
the way he was acting was very odd the night of the murder.
He normally actually sleeps on the third floor,
the night before he actually stayed
in the John Morse room on the second floor,
where Abby was murdered.
Almost like he was taken over by something as well.
And there are allegations of witchcraft in his and Lizzie's bloodline.
I wouldn't be surprised if whatever he attracted
where he lived somehow it followed him to the Borden house.
Let's see if we can get some answers tonight at the forest.
[Dave] So we're all sure about this?
- [Chris] Yeah, I want to do this. - Let's do it.
[Dave] Stay together, guys.
This is the exact spot where John Morse lived.
If he's guilty of these murders or if he's eternally cursed,
it's quite possible his spirit is still here today.
[Chris] We are not alone.
[Dave] All right, now everybody stay alert.
[narrator] If John Morse was cursed by the Borden family demon,
he might be the actual killer of Andrew and Abby Borden,
pinning it all on Lizzie.
[Dave] Who knows what we're gonna find out here?
[Chris] We are not alone.
I'm hearing like whispering, it sounds like little children,
but it's static sounding.
[Sam] There's definitely whispering going on.
I'm getting chanting of some sorts.
[Dave] You're picking up on chanting out here?
Yeah. We're not alone.
[Dave] This is where Lizzie's uncle's house once stood.
And if the rumors are true, guys,
this is where he would have engaged in these occult practices.
I'm getting stuff flying around real quickly, around us.
I got a little disoriented from the change in the field over here.
You ask a question.
[Dave] John Morse, are you here with us?
Did you kill Andrew and Abby Borden?
- [ax slash] - [scream]
[thuds]
[Chris] Let me play this back.
[radio interference]
Something, here, listen.
"Satan loves you?"
[Sam] It says, "Satan loves you."
Why, why would it say that though?
If you're already picking up on the same
environmental field that we have at the Borden house,
is it following us, or are we just out in its nature?
Obviously something out here is trying to get into our heads early.
It's protecting its property. We've come into their area.
Or there was a lot of ritual that happened out here.
And that's what I'm picking up on.
I'm picking on some sort of ritual,
Maybe there's something that has been opened up.
[rustling]
[Sam] Did you hear that?
[Dave] Sounds like something
just walking around our perimeter.
Do you keep hearing that?
We're being circled,
there's something is circling around us.
[Chris] All right, let me I'll film with SLS. See if we get it.
[Dave] Now, Chris is again utilizing a tool called the SLS camera.
It's seeking human form, and what we find in some haunted locations,
when someone is not visibly there, it will map in a figure,
and not just an outline of the figure,
but sometimes it will move and correspond to what we're asking.
And when it says "Anomaly detected",
it's picking up on some sort of human form.
[Sam] I hate to say it, but I'm picking up stuff that may be dark,
something was conjured here.
[faint whisper]
[Luann] Did you hear something just whisper right here?
[Chris] Yeah. I've been getting voices.
[Luann] I keep hearing like whispers.
[Sam] There's definitely something out here with us.
I'm not sure if it's something related to John Morse,
or the dark energy conjured from the family curse.
Whatever it is, it wants us to break apart
and to follow whatever it is in the woods.
And it's kind of using, you know,
I didn't feel uncomfortable at first
when I first walked here, but now I do.
Something is very dark and menacing, lurking in the woods.
So I have my dousing rod.
I'm actually, my hand is going numb.
Something's very, very, very, very powerful here,
and it's holding my hand. Can you show me where you are?
Right over here.
And that's where I was seeing something walking
and kind of like circling us over here.
[Chris] Sam, why don't you go over there?
[Sam] Okay.
Now Sam's picked up on his dowsing rods
that the energy is drawing him in that direction.
[Sam] So, Dave, it just said, "Here,"
and it came from above me, and it sounded very wicked.
It sounded like, [imitates hoarse voice] "Here".
Uh, so it was very gravelly and kind of scary.
I feel like I'm being used as human bait right now,
but I, but I think this is important to communicate
with whatever's lurking in the woods.
[Sam] Oh, my God.
It grabbed my arm, while I was pushing out, It grabbed my arm.
Oh, my God.
All right stop, everybody just stop for a second. Hold on.
Direct ahead of you, right directly in front of you, Chris,
I see two glowing eyes.
[Chris] Oh, my God.
[Dave] I've got them on the camera right now.
I mean, they're there, there's something there between you two.
[Chris] That's too far for this SLS to map.
[Dave] It looks like it's maybe 10 to 20 yards tops.
Now they're gone.
[Chris] Okay, we're gonna try something here.
Hey, you guys come around, let's let's make a triangle.
All right, guys, what we're going to do here
for a couple of minutes, is DRVP.
I'm gonna use the spirit box.
I got a little bit of an amplifier here
going into an orbit speaker, all right?
What I want to do is have some direct voice phenomenon using the radio.
[radio interference]
[Chris] Spirits, I know you can hear us.
Are you mad that we're here?
Leave.
- [Sam] I'm sorry. - [Luann] I'm sorry?
[Sam] Yeah. I'm sorry.
[Sam] John Morse, is our family cursed?
What's hovering above me right now?
Satan?
[Dave] All right, let's do an EVP session right here.
We can hear you moving around us.
We come in respect, we're simply seeking answers and truth.
[Sam] John Morse, are you the one that's circling us right now?
Is it true that you dabbled in occult practices?
Are you angry that we're in your territory?
[loud bang]
- Holy crap! - [Chris] Was that like a drum sound? Yeah.
[Luann] What the hell was that?
Something just went running right by my feet.
[Chris] And then I heard the drum sound.
[Luann] It went in there,
like through the trees right across the ground.
[Chris] All right, play it back.
Get out, listen to this, get out, listen.
- Right there, "Get out." - "Get out".
It was an evil voice. Let me play this for you.
[unintelligible sounds on recording]
[Chris] "Get out", right there.
[Dave] Well, we definitely made contact
with an evil energy out here tonight,
but was it that same demonic force that Sam believes
has plagued the Borden family for centuries?
Whatever it was, it had a message for us loud and clear.
Get out.
And it makes our next step in this investigation
even that much more treacherous.
It's time we sit down for the seance.
I wanted to talk about a couple of things
before we even consider doing the seance,
because we all know how dangerous this can be.
Our mission has to be to find evidence of the Borden family curse
to hopefully detect this presence of dark energy
that's followed the family ever since.
In the woods, we encountered a presence calling itself Satan.
Here in the house, we encountered the demonic presence.
- What the... - [bleep]
Something reaches out from underneath the bed?
Yes.
[Dave] Including the demon attached to Eliza.
Keep them away from them.
[Dave] From who, Eliza?
One of the most concerning pieces of evidence to me
is one of the EVPs that Chris and Luann captured
in her first overnight investigation.
She plays one for me that
really kind of seems very weird and mysterious, right?
She plays this, and I believe the question you asked was "who's here?"
And she gets a response.
So this word has been kind of a puzzle for us.
We can't find any translation that seems to make sense.
It's not a name that's associated with this home.
And immediately what comes to mind
when you hear a name like that?
I automatically thought demon when I first heard that,
or something that was not human.
But we know demons don't give up their names,
because when they do, they can be extracted.
So it's something...
you mentioned that you wondered if it was an anagram,
or if it was a game that this thing was playing,
that there was multiple meanings.
So today I started to try to break down this concept,
and where are we?
Who walked this land?
And could this be the dark energy
that's plagued Lizzie's family for generations?
I did a little bit more digging and research.
I contacted some locals in the area.
We know that the Wampanoag indigenous people were settled in this area.
I wanted to see if there was somebody
that could explain the word to me.
And I reached out to a friend of mine
from the Native American community.
She was a little stumped,
but she dug through and found an Algonquin word.
And there's a loose derivation of this word,
which means, "he died," ankelo.
- [Luann] You're kidding. - [Dave] So,
[Dave] there's one version which makes sense.
In this home that we're in, where a man was brutally murdered,
a woman brutally murdered, we get, he died.
Then the bombshell hits.
Another friend of mine comes to me and says,
this is Italian.
And what it's telling you is, "The veil."
So it's giving answers in multiple tongues,
which again seems demonic in nature.
And without explaining to him what I was asking for,
he goes on to describe, as in a wolf in sheep's clothes.
I was upstairs and the thing was coming through,
and I was connecting with it,
and I felt the anger and then it called me something.
So this thing is taking the face of many names.
Oh, it's pissed now. It's [bleep] pissed.
It just called me a bastard.
And I told the producer, I said write this down.
I want that piece of paper
in the middle of the table on the seance.
This thing has many faces.
And that's how it stays hidden, is it tricks people.
[Dave] So, could Anvelo be the dark energy
conjured by the Borden family curse?
Maybe it's all derivations of the exact same thing.
That's what this word seems to be,
something that can plug in and fit perfectly like a game
this thing is playing with us.
I don't question that there aren't fragments...
of each one of the people
that have passed through this house
in the final moments of their life in panic and in shock,
as they're being brutally murdered.
That had to fracture, that had to leave a psychic scar.
Lizzie's name has been evoked so many times.
How could a fragment of who she is not be a part of this house?
This is a feeding ground for dark energy,
because everybody comes here
anticipating the allure of being in a house
where brutal murders took place.
Some revel in it.
Some worship it.
And it's created a cathedral of chaos in one place.
So as we decide, if we even want to move forward with the seance,
we all have to consider the very real possibility that this dark force,
it may come through,
that the demon from the Borden curse
may come after each one of us, personally.
I want to bring something up with Chris's permission.
[Chris] Mm-hmm.
When you came to visit with us yesterday, Sam.
Yeah?
You were sitting on the couch,
we were talking, Chris started to become very physically agitated,
and in pain.
He had to leave the house to collect himself.
And you told us, there's someone here.
I feel it's like a father force, a father figure,
his dad, Reggie,
and then you paused and you said, "And there's somebody else".
"There's a health issue involved, and that's why he's here".
Yeah.
And Chris received a message today.
Would you share with the team what's going on?
[sighs] Yeah.
I just got a call that my mom collapsed,
and she was unconscious,
and I'm waiting to hear back, what's the condition.
Then it hits me, going, "My God,
since I've been in this house, I've had nothing but headaches
because it doesn't want me here."
So what they will do is if they can't get at you,
they will go at people that are close to you.
This is a point where I think each one of us
need to kind of sit back and reflect
on how much further we want to push.
I don't know if we're getting deeper in danger
for any one of these team members or somebody we love,
by what we're doing, in trying to reveal the truth.
That side doesn't want to be uncovered.
To tell the truth and help Eliza and her children.
To help the memory of the Bordens?
Yeah.
Is it worth the cost to one of us?
[voice breaks] Yeah.
[sniffles]
[Dave] All right, we've all had a little chance to take a breather.
Moving forward.
The concept and idea was facing this head-on tonight,
and having a seance.
Our hope is to make contact with the dark energy
and to possibly break the Borden family curse,
bringing peace to Lizzie and the other spirits.
Her great aunt Eliza and her children,
who are trapped or perhaps being tormented in the afterlife.
We know the dangers, we know the possibilities,
but we also know why we're here.
This is what we do,
but I want this to be something
that everybody's comfortable with, and if you're not,
no harm, no foul.
There's absolutely no love lost between us
if you decide to step away from this, this evening.
It's time we sift through the lies.
It's time we sift through all of the legend
and get to the heart of this story.
We may have a fight on our hands.
There is something here that doesn't want to be interfered with.
Are you okay doing this tonight, are you in?
I'm in, yeah, I'm in.
- [Dave] Chris? - [Chris] Oh, yeah, absolutely.
- Luann? - Yes.
[Dave] Let's do it.
[Dave] We've chosen to perform the seance
in the actual bedroom where Lizzie Borden
spent most of her time in this house.
And if the dark entity attached itself to Lizzie,
this is where we're most likely gonna find it.
It's go time, we are set up for the seance.
I've got the entire table rigged with GoPros
that will catch action from every angle.
If the spirit manifests itself,
we are gonna capture something tonight.
We're about to open a portal here,
a potential doorway to evil.
This is the most dangerous paranormal contact for anyone to attempt.
There've been very few seances
actually conducted in this house
because of those dangers involved.
[scream]
[Dave] We're trying to discover and contact the source of this curse.
Well, we've all agreed to come here
to try to help the spirits
that are part of the Borden household,
the spirits that have reached out for help,
from Eliza and her two children
to Elizabeth and the Bordens directly,
to see if we can lift this curse,
lift this burden that's been put on their shoulders.
We might as well begin. [sighs]
[Dave] Each person has an important role to play during the seance.
Luann has a strong connection to this house,
In capturing the Anvelo EVP.
Will the demon come out tonight?
Sam is related to Lizzie Borden,
and has channeled the spirit of Lizzie's great Aunt Eliza.
She drowned her children in the house directly next door,
44 years before the Borden murders.
Will she make contact again,
and bring them peace in the afterlife?
Me, I'm gonna open myself and my body
to whatever spirits need to help them.
And finally, there's Chris, the leader of the seance.
He understands the dangers better than any of us.
A seance opens a door to the other side,
inviting in good and sometimes bad spirits.
They can take over your body and attach to you,
or in the best case scenario
you'll find out who or what you're dealing with,
and then close that door.
But we all have to be aware of the worst case scenario.
When you give that kind of permission,
anything can walk through, anything.
Chris's number one job is to keep us safe.
[Chris] First thing we do is to relax the body and the mind,
to loosen the consciousness,
but not loosen the soul where it leaves the body.
Each one of our souls needs to stay within the body.
-Breathe in, -[all inhale]
- breathe out. - [all exhale]
-Breathe in, -[all inhale]
- breathe out. - [all exhale]
People say, "Hey, are you gonna be able to communicate with this spirit?
Are you gonna be successful in getting rid of this?"
I don't know till I'm there.
I don't know till I am facing this thing
and confronting this, what can be done.
Gonna ask the spirits that reside in this house,
can already feel some of your presence,
to not be afraid, but to come forward,
to speak to us, we have some questions,
but we also have a purpose.
And I believe you know that purpose.
Feel free to speak to us.
[thump]
- Are you hearing that? - [Sam] Yeah.
Something is knocking on the underside of the table, moving around us.
[Chris] And moving around the room.
It's multiple.
I think Lizzie's present too, but she's waiting.
She is, she's watching.
Call Elizabeth.
Elizabeth, is that you with us?
Can you knock the table if that's you?
Elizabeth, I promised you that I would not call you here.
This is special, this is for the children.
This is your chance to redeem yourself.
You are a good person, I know you.
I know you, you're a good girl.
You're a good daughter.
It said, "Back off a second."
Allow it to come through.
[Chris] You okay, Dave?
Yeah, I don't know what's going on there, buddy.
-[Chris] It's Elizabeth. It's her. -[table thumps]
Are you choosing Dave?
Okay.
- [table rattling] - Just trust me, Dave, allow it to come through.
All right?
Just trust me, Dave, it's okay.
No, I don't want to let go.
Trust me.
Trust me, Dave, okay?
Take the pen.
[Luann] Back off.
[grunts]
No, I don't like this, Chris. I don't like this.
I don't have control of my arm.
- I don't like this at all. - I know that.
- [Chris] I know that, Dave, trust me. - [Luann] You're okay.
It's just a form of communication.
[Luann] I'm holding on.
[Chris] I know, but it's not used to it.
Slow down, relax.
I can't let go, I'm not fighting it.
Okay, just let it go.
It's only gonna use the arm, trust me.
It only has permission at this moment to use the arm.
This is a form of automatic writing.
It's very weird.
Allow it.
Calm down, spirit, calm down.
No more.
Okay, what do you mean by no more?
Yes. No more, okay, I know.
Just relax, Dave.
What do you mean "no more"?
Is this Lizzie?
I believe that's yes, okay.
Lizzie, I'm here to help you, okay?
All of us are.
You must tell the truth,
and I know you're tired of hearing it.
Did you physically do it?
Why does that feel like it's lifting me?
Just relax, Dave, it's okay.
I know it's scary, just trust me.
Something's trying to pull you away, Lizzie.
- Something's trying to pull you out. - [exhales]
Come back, you have permission.
Lizzie, did you physically do it?
Yes or no?
"No," okay.
[Sam] Was it a demon, Lizzie?
Do you know who did it?
No?
But you're in spirit now, so you can see,
you can have access to who did it.
Was it a male that did it, a male, a man?
Yes or no?
No.
Lizzie, why are you pointing to me?
[Luann] No more.
[Chris] No more.
Okay you're tired of hearing about it.
[Dave] I don't know what this is, Chris. I don't feel it.
[Chris] Don't worry, okay?
It's only gonna be temporary.
Lizzie, what do you want to tell us?
Do you want us to stop bringing up the past?
Is that what you're saying?
[Dave] I don't know what the hell that is.
- [Chris] Lie. - [Dave] Lie?
L-I-E.
[Luann] Yes.
Oh, so the past is a lie, you did not do it.
Yes.
[Luann] It's okay.
Okay, okay it's okay.
You told me you didn't do it.
I believe you.
Lizzie, stop for a second, relax.
Okay?
If you don't respect this body,
I have to remove you from it.
Come on.
Speak to us.
I'm trying to, I just don't like this, man.
It doesn't feel right.
I don't think this is a woman. I don't think this is a woman.
I don't like it, Chris.
[Chris] All right, enough.
Enough.
[Chris] It's all right, brother.
[groans]
[Chris] Okay, relax.
- Listen, I want you to listen. - [sighs]
This is gonna just linger for a little bit, okay?
Trust me, give me your hand now.
- [Dave] Sure. - [Chris] All right.
[Chris] That's the first time that Dave
has experienced something like that.
And I've known him for 17 years,
and I believe one of the reasons is,
Dave is a little skeptical of mediumship,
channeling, automatic writing.
So Lizzie decided I'm gonna go through him,
teach him something.
Dave, how are you feeling? Better?
Just [bleep] worn out, and in a lot of pain.
Okay. I think she's gone.
Let's keep going.
[breathing heavily]
Something's moving around under the table with us.
Can you feel it? I mean, it's bumping and moving around us.
It's just to scare you, it's swarming.
I think it's the dark energy.
[Luann] It's...
[Chris] They feed off of fears.
Not nice.
[Chris] Don't worry.
[breathing heavily]
[Luann] It's really pissed off.
[Chris] I know, I know.
Write a word for me. What are you trying to say? Write a word.
All right.
Relax, Luann.
- [exhales] - It's only temporary.
Are you Lizzie?
Yes or no?
[groans]
It's saying backwards, "Yes."
I don't really like this.
Okay this is, this is not Lizzie.
Okay, I'm gonna ask you to...
I'm gonna tell you to leave now.
You must leave now.
[Luann breathing heavily]
[Chris] Listen to me.
Who are you?
[Luann groans]
[Chris] You're not human, you're drawing.
6-6-6. Okay.
She just drew 666 in reverse.
[narrator] Something started affecting Luann more negatively.
I believe she was making contact with that dark energy,
possibly the same from the Borden family curse.
I think it's Anvelo or something that infests that home
and takes many guises.
It doesn't scare me.
There is no fear.
I don't know what it needs,
- but it needs something and it's not good. - I understand.
I understand that.
I think it wants us to die.
Are you one of the fallen?
It doesn't want to talk.
[Chris] I know you don't.
[Luann] It doesn't want to talk.
[Chris] Of course it doesn't,
it doesn't want the truth, that's why.
It's time for you to go home.
You've been feeding off of the regret and fear of others.
- [exhales] - You've been feeding off of the pain of others,
because of the pain that you have from thousands of years ago.
I'm gonna face this dark energy.
Look at me.
There is no violence or hate or anger behind me.
- [exhales] - All right, this is what we're gonna do now.
I'm gonna use this spirit box.
I am doing this so that we can listen in
on the invisible spectrum,
to hear some of the spirits
that are starting to surround us.
We're gonna do this together, Sam.
You guys give me your hands.
[exhales]
Now, I asked the Bordens, their spirits to come forward.
Lizzie, can you hear me?
[radio static crackling]
[Chris] I feel your presence.
[radio static crackling]
Can you speak to us?
[radio static crackling]
You have permission.
[radio static crackling]
[unintelligible music and words]
[Chris] Did you hear that?
Yeah.
[Dave] I heard there is a demon in this house.
[Chris] Whoa, that's confirmation.
The demon is here with us.
Why was this told to me, the faces of many names,
who is that?
Did it say, "pure evil"?
That just say "pure evil"?
Yeah, pure evil.
[Chris] There is something out there
that has a shape or a form, that may change over time.
And that has many faces, and many names.
And when we say, well, it's the devil or it's Satan,
or it's this evil person, how could somebody do that?
Well what is it all?
It's all just evil.
It is now time to confront this dark energy
and break the family curse.
No other entities are allowed to enter into this domain.
It's being shut down.
I ask the holy angels to come forward
and to assist in removing this infestation,
to wipe clean the past of the tragedy and the pain.
We're here to call out to the souls and spirits
that have been wanting to cross over,
and been wanting to go home and find peace.
Allow them to come home, to be welcome with the creator,
-to return to peace, -[sobs]
to remove the emotions and the shame.
[radio static crackling]
Are you okay, Dave?
We just ask that you find the entity known as Anvelo,
and any other dark manifestations that may be in this home.
We rebuke them and heal the psychic scars of the dead.
We ask that the lies stop and that the truths prevail.
We ask the Borden family to come forward
and join us in this plea.
We ask that you give the grace of forgiveness
to Lizzie Borden and her family.
[thuds]
[Dave] We ask that you raise the veil of hatred,
anger, suspicion, jealousy, and rage
that has been put on this house
and break the curse of the Borden family.
It's Eliza. Eliza.
We invite you into our circle, Eliza, along with the children.
[Chris] I hear her saying, "I'm sorry for bringing you here".
- [Dave] It's okay. - [Luann] Don't be sorry.
[Dave] We're here now together.
So much pain.
[Dave] Did something influence you, Eliza?
Do you remember that day?
[Sam sobbing]
[Sam] The monster.
Something affected you?
The monster.
[Sam] Please. Please.
[Dave] Eliza, are you here with the children now?
Yes.
Good, see, this is good, you're together.
There's forgiveness.
Do you see your children surrounding you, Eliza?
Oh, my beautiful babies.
[Dave] Right.
- The babies. - Yes.
You don't need to feel pain now.
You're forgiven, your children forgive you, look.
Look at them, they surround you in love.
We invite you into the circle of love.
You have to try to help a soul be put to rest.
Means to remove anything keeping them here,
giving them that freedom, breaking that shackle.
Then the angels are there to help them cross over.
Eliza, there's a man with golden hair
that is descending down into the light.
He's offering his hand to you.
[Sam] She's letting go of me.
[Chris] Do not be afraid and go to him.
He will protect you from the darkness.
He is here for you now.
[Sam] She's got her arms open wide.
I'm feeling a cold breeze.
These children are so special.
There are more that are coming out of the light
that are to create a safe passage for them with you,
to break the bond from the darkness.
We ask now that you clear our mind,
our soul and our bodies of any energies that are not our own,
to cast away anything that means us harm,
as we end the circle in light and love,
brothership, friendship.
We thank you for your time, for the spirits that have come forward.
We beg mercy for those that are still lost.
And we thank God above for all that He's brought to us today.
- Amen. - [all] Amen.
[Chris] Today was a great day.
There's a multitude of different things that happened today.
Each one of us was obviously brought together
for a specific reason, for ourself.
Dave had his experience.
Sam had his experience, Luann had hers.
I had mine, and together,
we had experiences with a multitude of various souls
that came through,
that in some way or some shape or form
are connected to this place.
And together we all collectively experienced it.
[Dave] Today, we did what we set out to do.
We made contact with the dark energy,
hopefully breaking the Borden family curse.
We made contact with who we believe
were Lizzie and Eliza and her children,
and we sent them all into the light,
where they can finally be at peace.
[piano light music playing]
[Dave] There are no coincidences.
Luann, she got this information,
which connected to me,
which connected to Chris, which brought in Sam,
and we became a unit that could come together,
with the same ideals, the same intention
and the same hopes to help.
We followed the breadcrumbs, the trail of information,
as confusing as it was at times,
to the conclusion that there is a haunting.
There is a curse.
The curse comes in many layers.
The house where two horrific murders took place.
The psychic scars left behind from the murder victims
and the family survivors.
[Sam] I feel like the work that we did this week,
definitely took off a layer,
a very dangerous layer on the Borden family curse.
I knew that I was able to communicate with spirit and be a clairvoyant.
It went really dark, really fast.
I knew my ancestors were behind me, supporting me.
And that is something I can't even fathom,
it's like it gives me so much joy
to know that they support me and that I'm not alone.
I'm different now than I was, say even a week ago,
before this investigation began,
because this taught me more about humility,
not just for myself,
but how we view others and how others view us.
I know everybody wants that answer.
Who done it?
We will never know for sure
who killed Abby and Andrew Borden.
If Lizzie committed those murders,
or if the dark energy conjured from the family curse made her do it.
Anvelo is the entity of many faces and many names.
It's what we give it, what we put into it.
I believe Anvelo was this dark guardian
of the Borden murder house.
And I believe it was there for a time,
but I think it was forced out.
The house felt different, like a weight had been lifted.
[Chris] We brought peace, not only to the Borden family in a certain way,
but also we brought peace to many other spirits
that have come through that house, or still remain.
[Sam] What matters really, is that they find peace in the afterlife.
So with that, I'm extremely grateful.
[Dave] There's one last thing we have to do,
to pay honor to Lizzie, at the home where she finally passed away.
Maplecroft.
[Dave] After Lizzie was acquitted for the murders,
she and her sister, Emma, left the family home,
and moved just over a mile away,
where Lizzie spent the rest of her days.
Lizzy died in 1927 at age 66,
and days later, Emma died in New Hampshire.
And as we enter the home,
we can already feel the light after the dark seance the night before.
[Sam] Connecting with Elizabeth,
she's waiting at the stairs to lead us upstairs.
She's got a little bit of an edge to her,
but she still is grateful that we're here.
When I first came to Maplecroft,
this is where I connected with her the first time.
And I picture a woman looking out the window,
people mocking her on the streets.
You know like, "You did it, you did it," and her crying.
There is a lot of sadness here, but a lot of joy as well.
This was her sanctuary. This is where she threw parties,
and this is where she kind of lived her life.
And she became the person she wanted to be.
[Luann] It's like after the murders,
the whole city just turned against her.
It was a big thing for kids to play pranks on her,
throw rocks at the window.
It was a thing for the kids to actually go up to this door,
knock on the door and run away.
So she'd come and open the door and no one would be there.
[Dave] To be alive during that time, to hear these things,
even though you've been acquitted,
you believe yourself to be innocent of this crime.
It's interesting, she took a stand.
She could have run. She could have gone anywhere.
She had the money.
But this was her home, and she just moved blocks away,
resettled in the place she knew as home, and owned it.
And that's... you gotta give her that.
If anything lends to the idea that she was innocent,
or at least believed herself to be innocent of this crime,
why would you run, if you feel you're innocent?
[Sam] When I first communicated with her,
she mentioned the pears, and there was a pear tree
in the backyard of the Second Street home.
And we're gonna offer a pear to Elizabeth.
We also have some old school,
dark chocolates for her as well.
And we're gonna leave it at the spot where she, where she passed.
So this part of the house here
was where Elizabeth lived later in life.
And when I see her, I see her in this room.
This is her sanctuary.
This is the area where she was sleeping
when she passed peacefully.
[Dave] Did she ever find happiness in her life?
[Sam] In my thoughts, I believe that she did.
She was able to express herself through music.
She loved music, she loved animals,
and she took what came into her life,
the money that came from the deaths in her family,
and actually gave a lot of money to help animals,
and that's something that, when I came into this house,
I learned about a different cousin.
Elizabeth, I just want to thank you
for allowing us into your story.
And I hope that we did justice for you in doing so.
I hope that with what we were able to do,
we can bring some peace to you and your family,
and you can all finally get the rest that you deserve.
[Chris] Keep hearing whispering, like, "Thank you, thank you."
You know, we did something last night
at the other house that I'd like to wrap up with here.
And it's just a quick prayer.
Lord, we just ask that you surround this house in healing,
and a thorny hedge of protection,
to keep it safe and the souls that reside here safe.
Please open the gateways, bring forth the light,
bring forth family members in peace and forgiveness,
so that any spirits that are lost may find their way home.
We beg of you to give peace to the Borden family,
their ancestors and to lift the curse of the Borden family.
