Massachusetts has so much rich history throughout the state. Among that, there happens to be lots of haunted history. As it turns out, there is something extremely haunting that took place in a town within the Bay State that added to its resume as it earned the title of ‘most unusual town in Massachusetts’. 

The entertainment publication ‘Alot’ has released a list of the most unusual towns in every state. It included towns with monuments, stories, traditions, and more that make these particular towns a little bit more abnormal or just a bit more odd than the average town for each state. In Massachusetts, the thing that makes it most unusual town is quite the haunting and terrifying tale.

What is the Most Unusual Town in Massachusetts?

In the southeast region of the Bay State, there is a city that happens to be the tenth-largest within the state of Massachusetts, which is known as Fall River.

As you have probably guessed, the reason for Fall River being selected as the most unusual town in Massachusetts is due to the Lizzie Borden House. Here’s what ‘Alot’ had to say about its pick for most unusual town in Massachusetts:

For those looking to scratch their true crime itch, Fall River — a small Massachusetts town — should rate highly on the bucket list. In 1892, the notorious murderer Lizzie Borden hacked her parents to death in this very town. These days, the site of these gruesome deaths is now a bed and breakfast.

Unsurprisingly, given its history, it also allegedly offers a wide range of paranormal activity to explore in addition to its macabre allure. So if you want a break from your regular activities while getting your fix of supernatural and spooky true-crime experiences, Fall River is definitely worth checking out!

In case you’re not exactly familiar with the legend of Lizzie Borden, ‘Travel’ provided a well written summary:

“Lizzie Borden took an ax, gave her mother 40 whacks…” well, her stepmother at least. Lizzie Borden may very well be America’s most infamous accused murderess. She was charged in 1892 for the brutal ax slaying of her father and stepmother, Andrew and Abby Borden, inside their family home. Though she was found not guilty, sleuths throughout history up to the present still try to puzzle out America’s famous who-done-it. Today, the site of the grizzly double murder is now a bed and breakfast and ghostly true-crime museum where doors are said to move on their own, shadowy figures move in the basement, and artifacts shift and change locations without anyone touching them.

And thanks in-large part to this haunting tale, Fall River is considered to be the most unusual town in Massachusetts. While being such an unusual town may not put it on everyone’s bucket list of stops, it’s definitely worth a visit for anyone in New England.

BOSTON – Guns that are used to protect the public are ending up on the other side of the law. 

Records from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms show that over 16 years, more than 52,000 guns once owned by law enforcement later showed up at crime scenes. That means roughly 3,000 times a year, a police gun was used in the commission of a crime, sometimes with deadly results. WBZ-TV’s I-Team worked with CBS News in a partnership with non-profit newsrooms “The Trace” and “Reveal” on a special investigation into where old police weapons end up.

Boston mom Ruth Rollins wants to know. Her son Danny was shot and killed when he was 21.

“There were two young men, they were young teenagers that had something to do with my son’s murder, never left their housing development. I wanted to understand how these guns were ending up in our community,” said Rollins, who has since become an anti-gun violence advocate.

Guns sold legally

She was surprised to learn that most often, guns used in crimes originate from a legal transaction.

“Somebody buys guns legally and sells them to somebody that’s not able to purchase them legally, and it’s a business,” Rollins told WBZ.

Stopping guns from falling into the wrong hands is the inspiration behind police sponsored gun buybacks. It’s a subject Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox speaks about passionately. 

“We’re doing all we can to take as many off the streets,” he has said. But gun control advocates say what police do with their own guns works against that goal.

Massachusetts police sell or trade in guns 

In collaboration with CBS News, the I-Team obtained records showing Massachusetts police departments typically and legally sell back or trade in their service weapons to dealers when they’re no longer of use to officers. This includes Massachusetts State Police, Worcester Police, and others. 

Records show since 2000, Quincy Police traded 200 guns back to a dealer. Cambridge Police sold back 575 guns. Lynn Police sold back 205 and Lawrence Police sold back at least 140. 

Over the border in Nashua, New Hampshire, records show, in the last couple decades, police sold at least 485 guns to eight different dealers across the country.

Records show Boston Police traded in 500 Glock 22 pistols three years ago. A spokesperson said it’s an effort “to reduce the cost to the city. Such transactions usually occur with the licensed firearm wholesalers that we are purchasing the new items from.”

But records from police departments across the country show some have sold guns to dealers even when they’re not buying replacements from them.

The cost of destroying old police guns

“That’s appalling. Those guns, they should not have been sold back to gun dealers. They needed to be destroyed,” Rollins told WBZ. 

Boston Police invited her to watch how they shred guns they’ve confiscated. She thinks old police guns should meet the same fate. One community on Cape Cod is already doing just that. 

“This is a step ahead, this is a victory,” said Tom Stone of the Falmouth Gun Safety Coalition. The group has spent years pushing for local police to destroy officers’ old guns. In April, the coalition finally got what it wanted. The town manager agreed to turn over 26 guns for Massachusetts State Police to destroy.

“My concern obviously is for the safety of Falmouth residents and visitors who come here,” Town Manager Mike Renshaw told WBZ. “We took steps to ensure that there was no possibility of any gun violence incident arising out of these 26 shotguns.”

That comes at a cost. In this case, Falmouth Police Chief Jeffrey Lourie said he could have saved more than $4,000 by selling the guns back. 

“I just feel as a department head that I have a responsibility to the taxpayers,” he said.

Trade-in value for a donation

Falmouth Police have 70 additional guns worth as much as $20,000 they plan to get rid of later this year. Renshaw said he hasn’t decided yet whether to trade them in or destroy them. The select board enacted a new policy to publicly post the trade-in value of weapons when police replace them. If someone donates that amount, police can destroy the guns. 

“It makes me feel good to know that we’re kind of on that leading edge,” said Renshaw.
