However, the devastating mental, physical and spiritual effects of isolation are undeniable, facilitating a darkness within the prison walls today.

The Farnsworth House stood amongst The Battle of Gettysburg in 1863. The attic was a Confederate stronghold, the dining room a makeshift hospital. The home's owner, Harvey Sweeny, along with other Gettysburg residents, were in the cellar, listening in horror as war raged on around them. Today, the Farnsworth House is a bed and breakfast, and it is the center of many haunting tales. We'll be spending the night in the Sara Black Room, the most popular guest room, known for its frequent paranormal activity.

As we continue exploring the hauntings of New England, I wanted to take a step back to tell you about an experience I had in Salem a few years ago. An experience that truly changed my life, and has been a reference point in my journey with spirituality, the paranormal, and grief. This is the first episode where I'm going totally off script -- I wanted to just talk. And what ended up happening is I talked a lot about grief and how being an investigator has helped me in grieving the loss of my mom.

I stayed overnight at The Lizzie Borden House, learning more about the Borden murders and trying to connect with the spirits of the house. This house seriously lived up its reputation of being haunted; I did not know what I was getting myself into when I booked Andrew and Abby's former bedroom for the night. Listen to hear about my experiences, as well as more Lizzie Borden's life after the murders, alternate theories about the case, and the lesser-known murders that happened right next door.


Thank you so much for listening this season. I'll be back with more haunting tales soon. But, until then... stay spooky 🖤
