Sweet dreams
Lee-ann Wilbur and Donald Woods once spent Valentine’s night in the Lizzie Borden B&B in Fall River, so I guess they understand the appeal of sleeping at a murder scene. Now the couple owns the B&B, and they’ve found that the demand for the John Morse guest room, where Abby Borden’s body was discovered, skyrockets on the Aug. 4 anniversary. So, instead of starting a waiting list, for the third year running, they’re auctioning off a one-night stay for two in the Morse room on eBay. You still have time to bid until June 11. One aficionado of the Borden case won the auction in both of the first two years, but he’s promised not to bid this year. The winner also gets two “I Survived The Night At The Lizzie Borden B&B” T-shirts and a Lizzie Borden bobblehead doll.
