Abby was in there because their uncle had stayed in the guest room the night before, so she was making the bed. She also tried to buy prussic acis that morning but couldn't because she didn't have a prescription.
Something I don't like when I've seen film of the current b and b at 92 Second Street, is they don't have Lizzie's bedroom set up the way she had it. Her bed was set diagonally from the corner, and the door between her and Andrew and Abby's room was partially behind her headboard. That door then was also kept shut and locked, and some say nailed shut.
This really brings home that Abby wasn't surprised by the killer. She was on the far side of the bed. So she saw whoever the killer was, coming into the room and over to her side of the bed before the killer struck at her.
Did she see the hatchet as whomever was entering the room and coming around the bed at her? You'd think she must have.. not an easy thing to hide.
This is ridiculous. This house is not haunted at all. This house was a private residence from the day of the murders until 1996 and no one ever reported it being haunted until it became a B&B! And for the record the house has been totally gutted. There is nothing original to it except for woodwork, a few door knobs and 3 windows and the radiators...the rest is all gone except for the exterior of the house.
Exactly saxm that means that abby had to alredy knoe who was her killer and trust them... she prob didnt see the hatchet that lizzie had... it had to be lizzie because that would be the only reason she wouldnt scream. I think that lizzie then went behind her and before abby could look she smashed her head and kept on going.... thats my opinion im goin there for my bday in october with my bff and my mom.... im stayin there 1 night oct 3rd to 4th then we're hitting the salem witch trials
I read a theory once where someone said that Abby WOULD have been alarmed seeing Lizzie with an axe. That Lizzie wasn't in the habbit of chopping wood. And that the animosity between them, Abby would have been very alarmed seeing Lizzie advancing tword her with an axe. But she WOULDN'T have been alarmed seeing Bridgette with an axe.. as she was a servant and more likely to have used an axe for chopping wood for the stoves.
I do think Lizzie was the killer though. Either by herself or with help. I'm suspicious of Uncle Morse. He behaved very strangely that morning. He could have hired a hit man on his neice's behalf.
I always wondered if what set Lizzie off was the fact that Abby was in the spare room making up the bed. I'd read that Lizzie and Emma set up their own living quarters up there on the second floor, consisting of their bedrooms and that spare room. Abby and Andrew had the back of the second floor for their space. Lizzie and Emma used the spare bedroom as a privae parlor at times. And straightened that whole area themselves. Abby being in that spare room could have been seen as an intrustion by
Lizzie that morning.. combined with the tension they had been going through lately and the anger over what they saw as Abby stealing their inherritence and giving it away to her family.
they say she was hit in the face the first blow so that would make sense she saw who it was walking around the bed to where she was.. she was looking at he killer when it happened.
I think the murder of Abby in this room is the more incriminating of the two crimes. Lizzie claimed Abby received a note from a sick friend, yet afterwards no one claimed to send this note or knew anything of it. Safe to say the note was a fabrication. It's easy today to almost admire Lizzie as a woman pushing against the limitations of her era, but there remains an immensely strong circumstantial case against her.
If you pause it at frame 02:28 it looks like there's a siloette of a woman in an old dress standing there and it doesn't look like it's a reflection or anything because it's blocking the lamp. Could be a piece of furniture for all I know or someone in a costume but thought I'd let ya know. Not sure if anyone noticed it but yeah
You even filmed from the spot at the top of the stairs where Lizzie stood and laughed as Bridget tried to open the door for Andrew. And filmed the pov she could have had if she'd turned her head and seen Abby's body, just as Bridget and the neighbor did later. You rock, mondolizzie!
Also, think about this. There was a 2 hour time lapse between Abby Bordens murder and Andrew Borden's murder. What idiot from the outside is going to stick around 2 hours to kill Andrew Borden after the muder of Abby Borden. Let's face it Lizzie did the deed. No doubt about it. This was the O.J. Simpson case of the 1890s
Before the murders, Lizzie was expericing odd behavior, i.e. shoplifting. She was frustrated because her father was holding the money. The outlet a female had in those days were church and marriage. Careers for a female of her social standing simply was not done. No Cotillions because her father did not want to buy a dress for her. She thought her stepmother would inherit the bulk of the estate if Andrew should die. Take a look at her life style after she was aquitted.
Always follow the money on unsolved crimes like this, Lizzie and her sister Emma were the only ones to benefit from the deaths of their father Andrew and stepmother Abby. They became independently wealthy, virtually overnight, a rare thing for women in that time. Women who managed it, almost always inherited their wealth from a husband or father who died. They were the only one's with such a motive.
i dont think lizzie did it i think it was the maid she had to wash the windows on the hottest day of the year she was mad, give me one reason why lizzie would kill her parents. Just somthing tells me she didnt do it.
I know that house is hanuted...I went there on a tour with my brother...and went into one of the rooms and I could have sworn I felt something run past my ankles into a closet...and I wasn't the only one that felt that....
this is the morbid facination of death, yes it is shameful in a way but Im also one that get right into this bloody misterys and for sure also I woul visit the sinester house. Looking at Abbis room I can imagen Lizzie caming from begind to kill the poor woman ... it is creepy.
I live a few blocks from the lizzie borden estate.Nowadays prostitutes and drug dealers run rampant throughout that area. And there have been more gruesome murders in this city since then .
YES creepy, the music alone. And the flashback of Abby on the floor, first creepiness then the silouette of someone in the front room, looking out at "you" after you have come down the stairs. I know it's just a visitor but, then how do I know that.
I want to go and stay at that B&B sometime! I cannot imagine trying to sleep in that room, LOL....should be lots of fun :~)
