Dudleytown: The 'Scariest Place on Earth'

negative energy in intense striations throughout the Dudleytown land. One theory states the columns may have caused a great deal of the misfortune that befell the residents, negatively affecting them mentally, physically, and spiritually. Poltergeist activity including physical violence against visitors has been reported. Accounts of people being pushed down, slapped, and scratched with invisible fingernails have been recorded in books and eyewitness web sites. Phantom apparitions, such as that of a ghostly rider on a dark steed, are said to be seen after twilight and during the night—by those brave enough to face the dark in Dudleytown!

One can no longer explore the mysterious depths of Dudleytown, CT, except through the blessings of the Internet. An unfortunate fire that consumed part of the forest—sadly, seemingly a work of arson—has led to government action prohibiting trespassing. According to local government they are considering granting limited access to the site on a year-by-year basis, evaluating behavior of visitors and determining whether or not it is wise—and safe—to open the area up to visitors for that year. Up until recently, it was a haven for thrill-seekers and paranormal buffs. Now web sites are reporting that it’s become a place for destructive reenactments of “The Blair Witch Project,” a hangout for shady characters, and a place for rampant illegalities. Perhaps the curse of the Dudleys carries on even to this day, with the constant denigration of the place they once called home.

Thankfully, with web sites such as “Ghost Village” we enthusiasts can enjoy personal accounts, photographs, and historical information about this fascinating site.
