    Lizzie Borden's B&B: A Fall Rivers Hack & Slash Haunting

    enJune 21, 2019

    About this Episode

    "Lizzie Borden took an axe, And gave her mother forty whacks;When she saw what she had done,She gave her father forty-one."  ~Author Unknown, Circa 1893.

    Today on Encounters, join hosts Dakota & Amanda on a Bed and Breakfast excursion in Fall Rivers, Massachusetts. Learn the infamous story of the Andrew & Abby Borden Murders of the 1890s, meet the woman behind the rhyme, Lizzie Borden, who stood trial for the accused murder of her parents but walked away acquitted of all charges. Then learn of the residual and intelligent specters that haunt the halls of the 'Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast". 

    It was the story of the decade that gave us a nursery rhyme that would be whispered down thru the ages, as a reminder of the dark atrocities that money and derangement can inspire. Come listen to the episode that shows all the angles and leave you with the question... did Lizzie take that axe? and if not.... then who did?

    Project MK Ultra: A 'Home Grown' American Conspiracy for Supremacy

    Today on Encounters, Amanda and Dakota are joined by Encounter's own "Mistress of Conspiracies", Natalie to discuss Project MK-Ultra. The CIA and United States Government has a multitude of secret skeletons in the closet but one of the largest "worst kept secret" of the CIA could be the MK-Ultra Projects. From  Super Soldiers to Mind Control, Project MKUltra was an illegal human experimentation program designed and undertaken by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.

    We believe the intent was to develop procedures and identify drugs that could be used in interrogations to weaken individuals and force confessions through brainwashing and psychological torture, but how much further does that rabbit hole go? Join Amanda, Dakota, and Natalie today and find out!
