Spirit Halloween is already starting to celebrate Halloween and they’ve announced that they are looking to send a lucky horror fan and their “coven” to spend the night a the Lizzie Borden House in Fall River, Massachusetts.
Back in 1892, Andrew and Abbey Borden were murdered by someone wielding a hatchet and, while Andrew’s daughter Lizzie was tried for the murders, she was acquitted and no other suspect was ever found.
All these years later, various reports have emerged from the house about creepy supernatural activity. A lot of people visit the house in hopes of experiencing some kind of paranormal even for themselves.
Lance Zaal, President & Founder of US Ghost Adventures, shared in a statement: “We are delighted to work with Spirit Halloween to roll out the red carpet and offer the public a chance to win a one-of-a-kind experience at the infamous Lizzie Borden House, which also includes additional haunted experiences and merchandise.”
Steven Silverstein, CEO of Spirit Halloween, added: “Our Halfway to Halloween celebration provides fans an exhilarating taste of what’s to come this fall and empowers them to start planning for their favorite season as early as they please. We have cultivated an incredible following of enthusiasts who embody the Halloween lifestyle, and we’re thrilled to bring the fun back to life.”
The press release says: “For its first scare of the year, the brand is offering fans the chance to win a stay in one of the nation’s most haunted houses — the notorious Lizzie Borden House in Fall River, Massachusetts. In collaboration with US Ghost Adventures, Spirit Halloween will give one lucky winner and up to 12 members of their coven a private stay in the horror-filled house.”
