The Village That Vanished

American Hauntings Podcast ·

2022/04/19

In the wilds of northwestern Connecticut are the remains of a small village called Dudleytown. The homes of this once thriving community are long gone, but the land where the town once stood is far from empty. Amidst the forest and rocks are tales of ghosts, demons, unexplained mysteries, curses, and a rich history that dates back to the very beginnings of America.Timestamps:Monologue: 00:00:00 - 00:20:15Discussion: 00:21:00 - 01:15:39Check out our updated website and sign up for our newsletter

The man was a member of her sect, and he participated in his own execution… It is a

American Hauntings Podcast ·

2022/01/11

"The 19th of May 1780, was a remarkable dark day. Candles were lighted in many houses; the birds were silent and disappeared, and the fowls retired to roost. ...

Or at least that's what a lot of religious zealots believed in the spring of 1780. It seemed that the people of America were doomed
