Dudley Town (AKA The Cursed Town)

Not long ago I heard about a town called "Dudley Town" in Connecticut.

A local rumor that has been frequently shared on the internet alleges the founders of Dudleytown were descended from Edmund Dudley, an English nobleman who was beheaded for treason during the reign of Henry VIII

According to alleged rumors because of their treason the family was cursed, this cursed included crop failures, mental illness as well as several purported violent deaths.

In the history of Dudley Town, it is said that it once was a forest that was converted into farmland. However due to the lack of fertlization in the area the crops would fail to grow.

Records have shown the land was, originally, occupied by the Mohawk Nation, as sacred ground.

According to the Wiki, it states that the town was a distance away from clean water and as I stated before: unstable soil for cultivation. (The soil wasn't good for planting corps.)

However, this isn't where it ends. Does anyone remember the Warrens? I'm talking about Ed and Lorraine Warren. A couple that were paranormal investigators. Their biggest hit was Annabel, the cursed Raggedy Anne doll.

They also visted this town, I am unsure when, but when they said they claimed "There is something evil within this place." and apprently there are multiple things within that town, not just one.

I do personally find these types of hauntings fasinating and very curious. However my job isn't to make every piece of information available.

However I will add some pieces of information left as to supposeably why they closed this place off from the public and places you can go via link to read more about the rumors, the history and so on. I would do it myself, but I unfourtanetly didn't have well enough sleep and my eyes hurt from looking at this screen. According to offical reports: The reason the Dudley Town is off limits to the public is because of trespassers and vandalism. (If any of my spelling is fucked up. I am sorry.) Fun facts as well for the topic: Apparently you can't find any pictures of the town from the inside, just only outside because cameras malfunction once you enter, but when you leave its working just fine. In other notes: What do you think is the real reason behind this curse? Is it real or is it just rumors? Would you explore this place? I know I would.

Happy investigating.

The Haunted Dark Entry Forest and the Cursed Dudleytown

You are not allowed to enter the Dark Entry Forest any longer. Inside there is the ghost town of Dudleytown, a town said to be so cursed it didn’t end well for any of the settlers. They turned mad, dead or even taken by the ‘creature of the forest’.

media list (08.01.2024 - 14.01.2024)

👂 Listened:

Albums:

Zach Bryan by Zach Bryan (2023) [5/10, recommended by a colleague. Didn't end up being my kind of music.]

AM by Arctic Monkeys (2013) [5/10, while I've always loved the two singles off this album, I found the listening to it as a whole felt a bit flat.]

Podcasts:

Tooth & Claw [I've enjoyed this podcast since last year. The three hosts include a wildlife biologist, his brother, and their friend who doubles as their producer. They talk about animal attacks, why they happen and how it can be prevented - and aim to do it without demonising the animals. Obviously content warning for death and major injuries.] Episodes: ⤷ The 1994 Vancouver Island Cougar Attack ⤷ The Zanesville Massacre ⤷ When Man Bites Back ⤷ Defying Death With The Help of a Sea Creature

Morbid [Another podcast I've been listening to since last year. It covers both true crime and some spooky content and is hosted by an aunt-niece team who grew up as sisters. Not always the most sensitive, though they take care to always direct the less respectful commentary to the perpetrators. Warning: Two first two episodes I've listed below are pretty frustrating in the 'privileged men get away with it way', so if you're feeling particularly raw at the moment, don't listen to those. ] Episodes: ⤷ EP 528: The Murders of Stan Farr and Andrea Wilborn ⤷ EP 527: The Murder of Mary Stannard ⤷ EP 520: Dudleytown: Connecticut's Cursed Ghost Town

Somebody Knows Something Ep. 1-4 [DROPPED, didn't enjoy how the podcast was set up or the way it was narrated.]

📖 Read:

Articles:

Why We Forget Most of The Books We Read by Julie Beck from The Atlantic. [Article about memory and media - enjoyed the section about about Socrates's dialogue about' how writing has made people less likely to remember things 'will create forgetfulness', even while it is writing that allows us to know about Socrates' work + how the internet age has meant it’s more important to remember where to access information (recognition memory) rather than what the information is (recall memory).]
