Coordinates: 41.698928°, -71.156196°
Location Address: 230 2nd Street, Fall River, Massachusetts On August 4, 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were found dead in their Fall River, Massachusetts house, leading to what later became one of the most infamous unsolved murder cases in American history. According to police reports, Andrew Borden was found dead in the downstairs sitting room after receiving eleven blows to the head with a sharp hatchet, and Mrs. Borden was found upstairs lying face down in a pool of blood. She was killed instantly after being hit in the head from the front with an ax and fell to the floor, at which point she was struck in the back of the head an additional seventeen times. Their daughter, Lizzie Borden, was put to trial for the two murders but was eventually acquitted on all charges. Despite popular misconceptions, Lizzie Borden was not immediately seen as a suspect in the murders, but she became a person of interest after giving several false and conflicting statements to the police. The Borden House was sold to a different owner after the murders, and eventually in 1996 the location was bought and opened as a tourist attraction called the Lizzie Borden House Bed & Breakfast. Guests staying at the Lizzie Borden House Bed & Breakfast often report encountering the spirit of an older man and woman, believed to be Mr. and Mrs. Borden. Others report hearing the disembodied sounds of a woman crying, as well as witnessing lights flickering, and electronic equipment being turned on and off by an unseen entity. Employees also report feeling a strange presence in the house, as well as experiencing sudden unexplained chills and cold spots. Oak Grove Cemetery

Location Address: 765 Prospect Street, Fall River, Massachusetts The historic Oak Grove Cemetery was established in 1855 as a burial ground for influential and upper-class citizens of Fall River and spans over 100 acres of land. The location is famously known for being the final resting place of Andrew and Abby Borden, who were found dead on August 4, 1892 after being brutally murdered with a hatchet. It is also the final resting place of their daughter, Lizzie Borden, who was accused of murdering Mr. and Mrs. Borden but was later found not guilty of the murders. The old cemetery is said to be haunted by the three members of the Borden family, whose restless spirits are allegedly seen by visitors. Paranormal investigators report witnessing strange glowing orbs just past the cemetery gates at night, as well as hearing the sounds of disembodied moans and cries. Others who visit the cemetery report feeling the presence of an unseen entity, as well as a dark energy that permeates the surrounding area. Oak Grove Cemetery was added to the National Register of Historic Places in February of 1983.

Coordinates: 41.635685°, -70.903399°
Location Address: 45 Center Street, Fairhaven, Massachusetts Constructed between 1891 and 1893, Millicent Library was donated to the town of Fairhaven, Massachusetts by a wealthy entrepreneur and oil tycoon named H.H. Rogers to commemorate his daughter, Millicent, who died of heart failure in 1890 at the age of 17. Patrons at the old library often report witnessing the apparition of a young woman believed to be Millicent, and passersby report seeing a woman's silhouette standing in the windows late at night. Others report witnessing objects such as books and paintings moving by themselves as well as experiencing a strange presence, as if being watched by an unseen entity. Employees at Millicent Library also claim the location to be haunted by the spirit of a former custodian who died in the basement after slipping on a wet floor. Ever since, patrons have reported witnessing the man's apparition in the basement area, as well as hearing the sounds of disembodied footsteps. Police officers on several occasions have also responded to motion sensor alarms in the middle of the night only to find that the location is empty. One popular urban legend claims that Millicent Rogers' remains are buried beneath the library's foundation, however town records indicate that she was in fact buried in the nearby Riverside Cemetery along with several other members of the Rogers family. #3 - Nichols House Nursing Home

Another common rumor claims that an elderly woman who once resided at the home died tragically after being struck by a car on the street outside, however these rumors were debunked in an article published by a local newspaper called The Standard-Times in October of 2004, titled "Haunted Nursing Home May Be Changing Its Tune." Despite this, employees at Nichols House Nursing Home still report feeling sudden cold spots, as well as feeling a strange presence. Others have reported visiting elderly patients who appear to be talking to an unseen entity, and when asked, they claim they are talking to the spirit of an unidentified man. Nichols House Nursing Home is now owned and operated by the Royal Of Fairhaven Nursing Center.

Coordinates: 42.585062°, -70.981717°
Location Address: 1101 Kirkbride Drive, Danvers, Massachusetts Constructed in 1878 as the State Lunatic Hospital At Danvers, the Danvers State Hospital was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 and was permanently shut down in 1992. The hospital and its series of underground tunnels are said to have inspired H.P. Lovecraft's novel, Arkham Sanitarium, which later inspired Batman's Arkham Asylum. Although most of the old buildings at Danvers State Hospital were demolished in 2007, the administration building and cemetery remain. The remainder of the 77-acre campus was redesigned as the Bradlee Danvers Apartments, which are rumored by many to be haunted. Urban explorers who have entered the old administration building report witnessing the spirits of former mental patients who were abused and neglected by caretakers, and subjected to inhumane medical procedures such as electroshock therapy and lobotomies. In its later years Danvers State Hospital began to admit criminally insane patients and became heavily overcrowded, which helped to further the atmosphere of abuse, neglect, and violence. Residents living at the newly constructed Bradlee Danvers Apartments report witnessing mysterious orbs and flashing lights coming from the abandoned administration building late at night, as well as hearing the sounds of disembodied voices, screams, and moaning. Others often report feeling a strange presence, as if being watched by an unseen entity. #2 - Endicott Family Cemetery

Paranormal investigators at the old cemetery report witnessing the three forlorn spirits dressed in old clothing from the 1800's, as well as experiencing other paranormal phenomena, such as unexplained cold spots and drops in temperature, and feeling the presence of an unseen entity. Over the years the Endicott Family Cemetery was abandoned and fell into a state of neglect and disrepair. One popular belief among locals is that the three spirits remain at the cemetery to protect their final resting places from vandalism, with many also noting that the headstones of Margaret, Jeremy, and Alex are some of the only burial sites that haven't been vandalized. #3 - Peabody Institute Library
Coordinates: 42.561625°, -70.940961°

 Whether you’re a believer or not, going ghost-hunting can be a thrilling experience. Aside from being able to see eerie structures, it’s also a great way to witness surreal pieces of history, especially if you’re going to abandoned parks or centuries-old houses. As such, you’ll definitely want to bring the right gear so you can document your journey (and hopefully catch a few supernatural recordings). So, here are some things to pack for your paranormal photography and ghost-hunting adventure!! Camera With Night VisionWhile paranormal activity can happen at any time, many prefer investigating at night since there are fewer people, and less light and noise pollution. So, if you’re going ghost hunting in the evening, you’ll need a camera with night vision, as it can capture clear footage even in complete darkness. Some popular everyday cameras, like the Canon EOS R6, are already built for amazing nighttime shots and can operate in very low-light settings. But if you really want a camera designed specifically for nighttime adventures, the Hawke Sport Optics Nite-Eye 2000 Monocular has a built-in infrared illuminator that lets you see up to 200m in total darkness. It can certainly be worth the investment if you want to make paranormal photography a serious hobby. Infrared ThermometerOne of the most common ways to detect the presence of a ghost is if there's a noticeable, sometimes drastic drop in air temperature. This is because ghosts are believed to pull the energy from the environment in order to manifest physically. Another theory is that ghosts go through dimensional gateways, which causes the air pressure to change, thus causing temperature drops. To check, you can use Kaiser’s Digital Thermometer with Probe, which has High/Low limits and sets off an alarm — so you don’t need to keep looking at it to keep track of the temperature. Doing a baseline sweep of the room or getting the average temperature of a place can help determine if a sudden temperature drop can be attributed to a spirit rather than just a cold draft. Audio RecorderSometimes, ghosts don’t manifest themselves visually; people also report hearing voices and other sounds, usually at the edge of human perception. An audio recorder can let you pick up EVPs, or electronic voice phenomena, which can be the sounds of spirits trying to communicate. The Olympus VN-541PC Digital Voice Recorder is a great option as it can detect ultra-low- and high frequency sounds, down from 40Hz up to 13000kHz. These are sounds that humans can’t hear. Aside from simply hoping to pick up EVPs, you can do a structured EVP session, which is essentially a "question-and-answer" session with ghosts. Spirit BoxA ghost box or spirit box is essentially a modified AM/FM radio that scans the band making white noise, and clears the air to help enable spirits to communicate with the user. In this regard, the P-SB11 can sweep radio frequencies faster than other ghost boxes, and many believe this provides the energy that spirits need for communication. When using a ghost box, you can also keep your audio recorder beside it so you can listen to anything you catch later on. EMF RecorderEMF, or electromagnetic field, is what many consider a signature of the paranormal. Previously, we talked about how ghosts need energy to manifest themselves, and EMF is thought to be the by-product of energy consumption. There are reliable EMF detector apps that you can download if you don’t want to buy an actual gadget. For instance, the Ultimate EMF Detector detects EMFs and their sources, and even lets you record them. Take note that EMF can also come from appliances and cell phones. On the other hand, having a big EMF reading with no obvious source means you could be dealing with the supernatural. Alright folks, thanks for reading! I hope this provides some helpful information for those of you in the community who are new to ghost hunting!! And I know I always say this, but please be safe, and make sure to read this SAFETY DISCLAIMER before visiting any allegedly haunted locations. Happy Hunting!!
