Dudleytown has been called the most haunted place on earth. Founded in 1740 it was a thriving small town complete with
houses and streets . By the late 1800s there was no one left. The only memories of this old town are crumbled
foundations and cellar holes.
This is all that's left of Dark Entry Road
Only 150 years ago this was the busiest road leading to Dudleytown. Murder, hysteria and suicide were frequent in Dudley
town . It all seemed to have started with a supposed curse given the Dudley family almost 500 years ago from King Henry
VIII. Here is a BRIEF history of Dudleytown.

While visiting present day Dudleytown ,you can't help but notice it attracts not only "ghost hunters", but it is a magnet for
Satanic activity.
All the rumors are true. Once you pass this fallen tree which is about a half mile from the entrance all sounds stop. The
crickets, birds and whatever sounds you normally hear in a forest become strangely silent. The first time I visited I heard
soft hollow sounds from a distance .They gradually became closer and louder and faster until it passed right by me .The
only thing that comes to mind that it sounded like a horse trotting down a cobblestone street.
The picture below was taken by investigator Rick Clark. We were watching a group of teenagers playing with a Ouija
board, when apparently they didn't like one of the answers they had gotten .They threw down the board and ran down
the hill to their car. I thought this was pretty funny so I held up the board for a picture. I wouldn't have been smiling as
much if I knew what was looming to my right...
Note: Dudleytown is private property and the owners do not allow visitors anymore since a fire started by campers
destroyed much of the property.
It is located at the end of Bald Mountain Hill Rd in Cornwall, CT.
