The Borden family plot at Oak Grove Cemetery, Fall River — where Lizzie Borden (d. 1927), her father Andrew, her stepmother Abby, and her sister Emma are buried — has been the subject of reported visual paranormal claims documented by Fall River ghost-tour operators and by the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast Museum's own publicly available historical materials. Visitor accounts compiled by Fall River Ghosts and Legends Tours describe seeing a female figure in Victorian dress standing near the grave markers of Andrew and Abby Borden, which disappears when approached. The figure is attributed in tour lore variously to Lizzie or to Abby. Author and Fall River researcher Shelley Dziedzic, in her blog and in interviews with local news outlet WPRI, has noted that the cemetery's paranormal reputation is longstanding and that visitors bring offerings and vigil candles to the Borden graves, with some reporting feelings of being watched. All cited as tour lore and named local researcher accounts.
