The historic Lizzie Borden House in eastern Massachusetts is now a working bed and breakfast.

The home was purchased in May 2021 by Lance Zaal, the owner of Lizzie Borden’s House and president of US Ghost Adventures, Fox News Digital previously reported.

“The reason I bought the house is [that] “It fits perfectly with what we do with spooky haunted tours across the United States,” Zaal said in a one-on-one interview with Fox News Digital in 2023.

“We had plans to do more with physical locations – and Lizzie Borden’s house was the perfect opportunity to do that.”

For those hoping to experience paranonormal activity locally, Zaal noted that there have been several extraordinary encounters in the room of Bridget Sullivan, the family’s maid, with music boxes being claimed to be found sounding and furniture being moved through the room Space without anyone in sight.

2. Buffalo Bill’s House

4. “The Amityville Horror House”

Another haunted house that inspired a classic horror film is The Amityville Horror House, which has made some necessary changes over the years due to the house’s haunted history.

Ronald DeFeo Jr., a 23-year-old, shot and killed his parents and siblings as they slept in their beds in 1974.

Just a year later, a new family, the Lutz family, purchased the DeFeo home, known as “The Amityville Horror” house, as Fox News previously wrote.

After moving into the apartment in Long Island, New York, the family reportedly experienced supernatural phenomena and were evicted from the house – as the 1977 book and 1979 film show.

The house shown in the film was not the actual Lutz family home on Long Island, but a house in New Jersey that was remodeled to look like the house in New York.

Since the Lutz gave their house back to the bank in 1976, the house has had a number of new homeowners, one even has the address of 112 Ocean Ave. at 108 Ocean Ave. changed to scare tourists away from the house, Syfy.com reported.

Since this is a private residence, it is not possible to tour the house or investigate paranormal activity. However, it was noted that there had been no spooky reports about the house since the time the Lutz family lived there.
