That's right. According to Travel + Leisure, the Lizzie Borden House is one of the most haunted places on Earth. Here's what the travel site had to say about the property:
"This allegedly haunted bed-and-breakfast is the sight of a gruesome and highly publicized murder. Although she was eventually acquitted, Lizzie Borden was suspected of killing her father and stepmother with a hatchet in the unassuming home in 1892. Since then, guests have reported all kinds of strange sightings in the house."
