Head To The East Coast To Visit One Of The Most Haunted Coffee Shops In The World

Some situations are purely accidental, like you finding yourself in a place you didn't know was haunted at all. Imagine yourself heading to the east, the home of Miss Lizzie's Coffee in Fall River, Massachusetts. Then imagine yourself enjoying a sip of freshly made coffee, giving it all the attention you can afford. Suddenly, you get distracted by a slightly moved chair; a flickering shadow then follows. You look around, but no one is there. Cold shivers immediately run down your spine. Look no further and stop the search, you're at one of the most haunted coffee shops on the East Coast. 

Miss Lizzie's Coffee is considered one of the most haunted coffee shops in the world, and that's because of the scary stories around the establishment. At Miss Lizzie's Coffee, although the brew is bold, the ghost stories are even stronger. When you visit the popular coffee shop, be prepared to enjoy both the flavor and the history that reside in every nook and cranny of the building.

Ranging from the story about the building next to the coffee shop to the narratives about the coffee shop itself, there are so many mysteries around the location of the café. First, Lizzie's Coffee is situated beside an infamous Lizzie Borden House, the house of a woman who was accused of cruelly murdering her father and her stepmother in 1892. Although she was later released after the trial established that she was innocent, many people were still skeptical about the final verdict. In fact, up till the moment, historians and ghost hunters are still fascinated by the case. But that's not all the stories.

The building itself has its own story, and that could be traced to a tragedy earlier than the one in 1892. The coffee shop used to be a residence where Eliza Borden, a relative of Borden by marriage, used to live. Eliza had three children. But for an inexplicable reason, she decided to push all three children into a well. The tragic incident claimed the lives of two of the three children, leaving just one behind. Lizzie also took her own life after the incident. And since then, there has been a strong belief that the spirits of the victims are still very much around, including that of Lizzie herself. People who visit the place are said to always experience strange occurrences like flickering lights, strange whispers, footsteps on empty stairs, among others.

In case you're planning on visiting Lizzie's Coffee as one of your spooky East Coast day trips to take this fall, expect a part café, a part haunted attraction. In there, expect to see strange decor like ghostly artwork and eerie memorabilia. Beyond the aesthetics, they have the finest, best-tasting coffee you will ever enjoy. Not only that, there are also food options for whoever wants to take more than coffee.

Miss Lizzie's Coffee is located in the center of downtown. It is a short walk from City Hall, and directly opposite the Bristol County Courthouse at 242 Second Street, Fall River. So if you think you are bold enough, stop by and have a cup of coffee. But know that it may be more than just a drink. Who says you can't have a ghost story of your own?
