hey I just had an idea can you imagine
what Facebook or Twitter would have been
like back in Lizzie Borden's time oh my
gosh could you imagine the headlines can
you imagine the tweets oh my goodness
they would have had a field day with
Lizzie
ah
Hello there parapeeps and welcome to
another episode of our haunted travels I
am your host Sean Donnelly and I'm your
co-host Marianne Donnelly
hey this video we are talking about some
of the fake news back in the day during
a Lizzie Borden's time and yes there was
some fake news back then some quite a
bit especially about Lizzie and we have
some of it that was actually documented
in the book that we picked up while we
were at the Lizzie Borden house right
there it's actually kind of a cool book
that this is the treasury of Victorian
murder the Borden family or the Borden
tragedy by Rick Gary and it's actually
illustrated almost kind of like a comic
book so it was very easy reading for me
but there was a section in this book
where I thought well we gonna do a bit
of video about this because this is kind
of interesting
yeah yeah and then you've got one more I
do to add to this I do okay so back in
the day of course there was no internet
no television no radio that kind of
thing okay what was the communications
of the time newspapers and they
generally reported everything everything
everything everything Marion stubbed
their toe Sean tripped getting in you
know going down the steps have a visitor
in from Swansea yeah yeah so could you
imagine like YouTube notifications
alright anyways alright so some of the
things that was reported in The Boston
Globe which in the day was a very
respected newspaper and very respected
and he they put out some scandalous
articles yeah they weren't very kind to
Lizzy they were one of the ones are
always not on her side
no and you know the newspapers and stuff
that's where the little rhyme
you know sell newspapers and that kind
of stuff they kept playing on it and
playing on it playing on it and you know
because people you know they were just
enthralled in the case it was a national
yeah whatever but listen to some of
these these stories that came up okay
ready
so the first one on the night before the
murders Lizzie had informed her father
that she was with child and they
quarreled violently this was printed in
a national newspaper The Boston Globe
and now they were you know Yap and say
oh you don't have any facts to back that
yeah it's been going on for a long time
folks
for a long time all right so here's
another one Lizzie was seen the next
morning peering from upstairs window he
would over her head yeah I've actually
heard that one before I heard it that
she would do that at Maplecroft but this
was the day after the murders which the
bodies were still in the house yeah warm
well I'm sure they had gotten a little
cooler but yeah it was pretty uh pretty
quick all right here's another one
the Borden sister's paid a fantastic sum
to Bridget Sullivan for her silence that
one I have kind of like a tendency to
kind of like maybe that happened you
know in our previous videos we said well
she didn't even I don't even know that
she returned to the house she had threw
together personal belongings she did
come back unless she took them and but
she did come back to the house but then
they they said that they didn't need her
services anymore yeah yeah and then she
left them went to Montana eventually too
much yeah so and by the way married a
guy named mr. Sullivan so Bridget
Sullivan when she got married mrs.
Sullivan I didn't know that one yeah
Sullivan Sullivan didn't have to change
the monogram that's correct that's a
nice thing and then there's that story
of her that she had that secret she
thought she was on
yeah I'm surprised that wasn't in the
Boston Globe yeah yeah but okay so the
way these these ended up these fake news
stories here's how they ended up the
stories were soon retracted and I'm sure
they put buried something way on the you
know back in the paper but the stories
were soon retracted and as complete
fabrications and their author shortly
died under questionable circumstances I
thought you were gonna say got a big
bonus for selling more newspapers but he
died yes Wow
under questionable circumstances
circumstances quite interesting Lizzy
around hmm so this is a pretty cool book
if I could find a link on Amazon or one
I think it's on I think that they still
have it on the Lizzie Borden Bed and
Breakfast web site if they do I'll put a
link down in the description if you guys
want to check this out it's actually
kind of cool so but you remember reading
one other one that wasn't true as well
yes actually after the trial there were
two different occasions when it was
reported in the newspapers that Lizzie
Borden was engaged and one time she was
even allegedly a gay engaged to one of
the men who were on her jury no way but
that was a complete fabrication as well
of course they retracted it and buried
it yeah yeah yeah I'm sure there I'm
sure there were plenty more oh yeah we
don't have documentation because every
day they were putting something in about
Lizzie especially during the trial and
how much of it was accurate
I'm sure there's the one gathered round
like are you kidding me mm-hmm
I'm just kind of like Facebook yeah but
see Lizzie she wasn't going back at him
saying you know you people are all liars
and that would be interesting you need
to stop spreading rumors about me so
we'll have to ask her later tonight
folks tonight at nine o'clock I'm going
to be interviewing Lizzie Borden live
right here I have to ask her some of
these questions what she thought about
these fake stories that come out sure
she wasn't happy join us tonight 9:00
p.m. live right here on panic Dean
