I would ask him if he minds all the hoopla and our walking all over his grave. Does he find it disrespectful. Really.

[The only place I ever sensed Andrew was at his grave, once- one time. But the ghostbuster type people say spirits don't haunt the graveyard- they haunt the place of violence or fear because that's where the energy is they need to communicate...]

Why didn't you tell Lizzie to go get a job if she was complaining about not having enough money, or wanting more of yours?
Why didn't you move up into the better part of town?

I like the question on why didn't he put a bathroom in with 3 women in the house. I think he was so tight with money.

I think this would make sense for Andrew...standing watch over his primary possession...his body.

I with you on that one, Nadzieja. Why didnn't you get a bathroom with three women in the house. I guess the man was a gluten for punishment.

I'd ask Andrew why Lizzie gave him her high school ring.

Was it out of affection and a symbol of the emotional bond between them?

OR

Was it because you had paid for the ring and she didn't graduate so you felt she had no right to it?

In addition to all the questions here:

Was your first wife really crazy? What was she like?

Tell me about Emma. What was she like?

And Abby?

Did you really pick up a broken lock on your way home?

What were you afraid of?

Any truth to those stories of your father peddling fish and you selling eggs from a basket as you did your errands?

Who were your enemies?

Who were your friends?

What was the trouble between you and Hiram Harrington?

Who broke into the house the year before the murder? And what exactly was done?

Have you considered having anyone in your family committed to an asylum?

What's the truth of the pigeon-slaughter story? How about the story of Abby's cat?

What did you and John V. Morse discuss on the night of August 3?

Is there any truth to the rumors of incest in your household?

What did you plan to do with the Swansea farm?

Were you asleep when you died, or did your killer look you in the eye and strike?

Who killed you? Who killed Abby?

Have you made up in the afterlife?

Did you object when your fortune was left to a bunch of animals?

A clear advertisment for a gluten-free diet!

Snok, darlin', we know you meant "glutton."

I was a miser with my question. For some reason I thought we only got one!

In the graveyard, the first time at the stone, I concentrated and *heard* the thoughts. We had an exchange, of sorts.
He said *Go away" basically.

I thought back at him: "You have a big stone monument here with your big Borden name carved onto it- it looks like you want people to notice it." The *response* was a sort of sour disgruntlement.

Then, when I became more educated, I found out that the girls ordered the large monument stone. I then thought I owe this man an apology. I had been rude.

The next visit to Fall River I did go and *gave thought* to Andrew Borden and said I was sorry and that I had been impertinent no matter what the circumstances and then I said a *prayer* for the victims.

After that I was more circumspect about the case, less frivolous and more sober about the deaths: I still don't like *smilies* when discussing the actual crime.
