Halloween in Boston 🎃
Your guide to Boston’s best trick-or-treating, bar crawls, costume parties, fright nights, and more. Plus: Haunted Halloween happenings around New England (including a spooky day trip to Salem).
@bostondotcom 🪓 For travelers who relish creepy quarters this time of year, it doesn’t get much creepier than the Lizzie Borden House in Fall River. Thrillist released a list of the most haunted places in every state and the @US Ghost Adventures Lizzie Borden House was named the spookiest spot in Massachusetts. Lizzie Borden was accused of murdering her parents with an axe in their home in 1892. She was tried and ultimately acquitted, and today the crime still remains unsolved. “On your visit, you’ll stay at the Bordens’ home, eat their last meal (Johnnycakes and eggs), and sleep in the bedroom where the body of Lizzie’s stepmother was found. After a night there, I can attest: This home painstakingly furnished to look exactly as it did on the morning of the murders will creep you right out,” Thrillist wrote. “For those who can’t bear to stay overnight but want to experience the historic home, there are three daily tours.” Read more at the link in our bio. 🪓Would you stay overnight here? #BostonDotCom #LizzieBorden #HauntedHouse #Unsolved #LizzieBordenHouse #FallRiver #Massachusetts #HalloweenThingsToDo ♬ Fall October Halloween horror classic(177261) – rareNote
