The Haunting of Oak Grove Cemetery

On November 14, 2015, we traveled to Fall River, Massachusetts to the graves of Abbey, Andrew, Sarah, Alice, Emma, and Lizzie Borden in Oak Grove Cemetery.

The Borden plot is the most visited site in Oak Grove Cemetery. On the day of the funeral of Abby and Andrew Borden, only grass and many trees surrounded the open graves lined with pine branches. Of course the Bordens were not buried on the date of their joint funeral, August 6, 1892, but instead lingered in a holding tomb at the cemetery awaiting a full autopsy on August 11th and burial at last on August 17th. It would not be until January 1895 that the stately Westerly blue granite monument would be set in place, along with the rectangular headstones bearing the initials of the victims. The monument and the headstones were purchased by Emma and Lizabeth Borden.
