….because you’ve watched all those paranormal ghost chasing shows, or you saw the TV film with Elizabeth Montgomery or you’ve googled “Lizzie Borden” and seen her image as a teenager or twenty-something dripping in blood and wielding an axe. Maybe it was a documentary, or you just heard it so much (she did it) that you’ve come to believe it. — Well, I have this to say to you:
Click image for larger view.
READ A FUCKING BOOK!!!!
And preferably, THIS ONE.
Maybe the book is beyond your financial reach, but you could at least read the Review. At least indulge yourself to become significantly more enlightened in just the time it takes you to read the Review. Oh sure, you can skip it. You might say it “Would take too much of my time and I need to text my BFF on something really important.” Or maybe you’re satisfied with legends over fact and don’t want to crack your kharma. Come on, get your head out of your asses for a change and……
READ A FUCKING BOOK. BUT PLEASE, IF YOU LEARN ANYTHING, LEARN THIS:
1) THE MURDER WEAPON WAS A HATCHET, NOT AN AXE.
2) LIZZIE WAS 32 AT THE TIME OF THE MURDERS.
3) SHE WAS ACQUITTED. (That means found “Not Guilty).
To all my readers who know the facts of the case, who DO read books, and don’t buy into all that misinformation out there – this post,most respectfully, was not intended for you.
But to all the others, once again:
READ A FUCKING BOOK!!!

The story your posted about men from the west bringing horses with John Morse….. that really makes you think- why wasn’t that ever looked into? I’ve read other articles backing it up stating witnesses saw a horse & carriage parked up from the house on Second street on 8/4. Great article!!!!

Unfortunately, they DO read books — but the stupid ones with made up stuff which is later admitted by one particular author that a ton of folks seem to think is the best book. I commented on something one person posted and she said, “Were you there?” How do you know and she replied also I read the books.
I wanted to so much to reply so have I and trial testimony etc etc etc —- but i just went into the other room screamed out loud and realllllly reallllly wish i had said something — but then again — you know you cant engage in arguing cuz you “aint gonna win.”
