The Psychic Solution; about this book....and how it came to be written.


The psychic solution to the Lizzie Borden case was a concept that evolved over time. In retrospect the idea should have been a logical one as a test of a new way of looking at history. The two 1892 murders have baffled criminologists for well over a century. The killings have inspired books, novels, plays, movies and even a ballet. The youngest daughter, Lizzie, was accused of the crime and was found not guilty by a jury of her peers. Was she really guilty of the deaths of her step mother and father or was there more to the crime?

One of the interesting features in the case was that Andrew Borden, one of the victims, had many enemies and kept his house locked all the time. The crime seems to have been a classic “inside job.” The theories abound as to what really happened and how the terrible axe murders took place. Still, no one knows the truth about the case. Are we doomed to never know the mysteries of the past? The ability to travel back in time doesn’t, at this time, exist (as far as known) but for centuries some people seem to have the gift of using psychic means to gain insights into what happened long ago.

As a psychic researcher I have investigated many homes and locations where ghosts have been seen. Helping me in my investigations is my wife Debbie Senate. Taken to a site she had the uncanny ability to see things that happened long ago, describe people and events, and find the root behind a haunted place. Not only was she able to see images of past happening in buildings but even on battlefields, in her minds eye she could pick up impressions of the battle and trace what happened and why. Perhaps the true origins to the book we would write on the Lizzie Borden case can be traced to Debbie’s work with local law enforcement. Several good friends were members of local police and when a case proved too difficult or insoluble Debbie was asked to see what she could do. She was never paid more than a cup of coffee for her work but did it in hopes of making a difference in the never-ending war on crime. Her efforts had to be kept secret because laws forbid evidence gathered by psychics in court. If word of her efforts got out, a skilled lawyer would seek to overturn any conviction. The information she provided was always written up as an “anonymous telephone tip.”

One thing that seemed to impress people was Debbie’s gift of going back to the crime itself and picking out what had happened. Her insights were used to gain new directions for the case and, so we are told, lead to several solutions. Another gift Debbie had was that of gaining insights and seeing images by touching items. She could tell about people by holding their keys and rings and such. I tested her by using items collected from all over and she was able to accurately tell about the people and places where the objects were found. With a background in archaeology I had things from all over the world from ghost towns to the Holy Lands. Time and again she was able to identify things and even get images from the past from a 19th Century hooker from Jerome, Arizona’s “House of Joy” detected on an old spoon, to an Egyptian cook discovered from a pottery fragment from first century Caesarea, in Israel.

Perhaps the one thing that brought all these elements together was my interest in the subject of Psychic Archaeology (the use of psychic insights and such things as dowsing to gain new insights on past peoples and culture). As an archaeologist the limits of interpreting artifacts was frustrating. Not only did I wish to understand peoples from the past by the things they left behind, but I wanted to know them, what they were like, and reconstruct past events. Psychic archaeology holds that promise, but it was a promise that left me with few real answers.

Debbie seemed to just “see things” and her insights were confirmed by the known facts at several sites. It was my love for the American Civil War that stimulated the idea of Psychic Solutions. In the pivotal Battle of Gettysburg (where, strangely enough, one of my family fell on the second day on the Union side, and so did one of Debbie’s fell on the Confederate side). General Robert E. Lee ordered the heroic, but foolish, charge right into the Yankee lines. Five thousand Virginians under General Pickett perished in the doomed attack. I , like many historians before me, had to ask, why did the brilliant Lee order such a thing? Debbie offered to try to find out for me. Using samples of dirt from the site of Lee’s Headquarters and dirt from the site of the charge, Debbie was able to go into a deep trance and contact a rebel soldier. Lee was convinced a massive cannonade would so weaken the Yankees that the attack would break the Union lines and win the battle. The artillery wasn’t up to the task and the Confederate advance was too slow to take advantage of the cannonade, turning the attack into a slaughter that doomed the cause of southern independence. It was an answer to the question, but was it the right answer?

What was needed was a test case to try the new technique. A friend from the east coast suggested the Lizzie Borden case. She could get artifacts from the house where the murders took place and it was decided that this classic double murder would be our test. Could Debbie pierce the veil of time and see what happened? Could her psychic gifts answer the riddle of who used the deadly axe?

The attempt took several weeks and research time added to the effort. But, Debbie had suggested a unique solution to the case. At first I must admit I didn’t believe it. Lizzie didn’t do it! But, she had a hand in the plot and was as guilty as the person who did. That guilt would haunt her until the day she died.

The case proved the idea of solving the mysteries of the past is possible. Read the book and see if you agree that the past isn’t really past and some can solve the riddles and mysteries of history.
