39: The Curse of Dudleytown, CT
Dudleytown is a legendary and allegedly haunted ghost town located in Cornwall, Connecticut. The town's history dates back to the mid-18th century when it was settled by Thomas Griffis and his family, but the town is perhaps best known for the Dudley family, who settled in the area a few years later.
The Dudleytown legend often associates the family with tragedy, misfortune, and alleged paranormal activity. Various stories and myths have circulated over the years, suggesting that the town was cursed or haunted. Some tales involve reports of mysterious deaths, mental illness, dangerous creatures lurking in the surrounding forest, and other unfortunate events that befell the residents, contributing to the town's decline.
Today, Dudleytown is officially off-limits to visitors, but that hasn't stopped speculation on who, or what, may be lurking in those forests. Even Ed and Lorraine Warren believed the town to be a hotspot for demonic activity. Tune in to this episode, and then let us know your thoughts!
