Ellen Lloyd – AncientPages.com – Legend tells a centuries-old curse was placed upon Dudleytown in Connecticut. The town turned into a horrible place where people committed suicide or went insane. By the 1800s, Dudleytown was abandoned and it became famous as America’s own Village of the Damned.
What did really happen in Dudleytown? Is there a rational explanation for all these unexplained events or does Dudleytown suffer from the old curse?
Dudleytown was once a thriving community. Today it’s just a ghost town on private property and access is forbidden. The town’s legend has long attracted paranormal investigators, journalists, hikers, the occasional birder, curiosity-seekers, and just ordinary people inclined toward the supernatural. Some hikers who have been in the area report they have seen mysterious orbs.
The story goes back to the 1700s when the Dudley family moved to an area near Cornwall, Connecticut. It is said that the Dudley family brought a curse to this small town – a curse that has allegedly plagued the region ever since.
