Amanda Millette, a 26-year-old Vermont resident, has garnered over 500,000 TikTok followers in less than a year – and she has the SouthCoast, in part, to thank for that. Her in-depth stories of New England hauntings and spooky legends have captivated her followers, and it all started with the Lizzie Borden House in Fall River.

She has always been interested in the paranormal, and especially the story of Lizzie Borden. Soon she would discover it was more than just an interest in Borden. It was an obsession. Millette refers to her as "Lizbeth," which Borden herself always preferred over "Lizzie," and has set about to prove Borden's innocence in the grisly axe murders of her father Andrew and stepmother Abby in 1892. Even though Borden was acquitted of all charges, most people then and even now tend to think she got away with murder – literally.

“I accidentally had the entire house to myself when I booked the murder room (the John Morse room, where Abby Borden was murdered) during the off-season,” said Millette, when thinking back to her first experience at the Borden house. One thing she discovered was her passion for paranormal investigation and her desire to tell stories.

She decided to make a TikTok video about Lizzie Borden, asking her followers, “Would you stay the night?” Seven and a half million views later, Millette knew she was on to something.

With over 660,000 followers and counting on her @SpookyNewEngland TikTok, Millette continues to share the story of Lizzie Borden, along with other familiar tales that will make your skin crawl.
