This week, we’re kicking things off with a story about a ghost cat.
I swear, I’ve encountered a ghost cat at almost every haunted location I’ve investigated. My two favorites so far have been Max at the Lizzie Borden House and Reese at The Conjuring House. I’ll just tell you about Max today—I'll save Reese for another time.

Lizzie Borden House, Fall River, Massachusetts

When I investigated the Lizzie Borden House, I stayed overnight in Bridget Sullivan’s room—she was the Borden’s live-in maid at the time of the murders. As soon as I arrived, I took a tour of the house, snapped photos of each room, and started unpacking my ghost hunting gear on Bridget’s bed.

Before every investigation, I take baseline EMF readings using my Mel Meter. On my first sweep through Bridget’s room, the readings weren’t particularly high. I continued prepping my gear, making sure everything was charged and working properly.
