00:02:10
unincorporated towns that are really [ __ ] weird yeah it just got like called a town because of like the
00:02:16
grouping of people that lived there yeah but they all went cuckoo nuts bananas allegedly and then I did find a listener
00:02:23
tale of somebody that's visited hell yeah we're talking about Dudley town in Connecticut Please be aware that I'm not

00:03:17
somewhere yeah because you this originally and then we did a little reverse reverse reverse but I'm trying
00:03:23
to remember where I found it cuz I feel like I was it in one of those weird books like you know it might have been
00:03:28
in one of those weird books cuz it was one of those I was like H this is interesting and like we're not saying
00:03:32
like the book is weird it's literally like weird New Jersey weird Newland weird Connecticut yeah I think maybe
00:03:39
that's what it was it probably was or like no no no no no no you said a Tik Tok oh yeah you said you seen it was I
00:03:46
se it all right well that's cool yeah and let's get into it so deep in the woods near Cornwall Connecticut in a
00:03:53
Valley known as dark entry Forest I'm I already sold yeah are the remains of the
00:03:59
small village Village of Dudley Town Dudley toown was a thriving mining Community it was settled upon in the mid
00:04:05
18th century by British colonists much like pretty much everywhere else around here yeah you know yeah the town
00:04:10
provided charcoal and other minerals for the growing steel industry in and around
00:04:15
New England but by the late 19th century the mining industry had shifted West I think we all know about that think we
00:04:21
learned about that in like six grade the gold rush and because of that slowly but
00:04:26
surely the population of Dudley toown shrank until by the early 20th century there were only a handful of people
00:04:34
living in this little you can call it a village it's like barely a village a little Hamlet yeah kind of actually um
00:04:40
by 1924 the village of Dudley toown was completely abandoned at that point and it fell into the ownership of a private
00:04:47
trust who wanted to restore the forest ecosystem to its pre-colonial Health oh so they set out on a little
00:04:54
ecosystem makeover corre Extreme Makeover Forest Edition I like that so looking back historians and other people
00:05:02
familiar with this area chocked up the abandonment of this little town Hamlet to a variety of social economic
00:05:09
ecological reasons but with that being said there are people who think that those reasons all those social economic
00:05:16
ecological regions reasons are [ __ ] and that the real reason the village was abandoned is much darker and far more
00:05:25
Supernatural in nature oh and I'm with them and I'm with them are rumors of widespread Madness among the Villager
00:05:32
villagers unexplained deaths and other tragedies uh and of course a curse that dates back to the founding of the
00:05:40
village in the 1740s or actually possibly even before that huh regarding this one family woman to it now today
00:05:47
the area is still said to be haunted and despite being private property private property private property it has become
00:05:54
a popular destination for Ghost Hunters and Legend Trippers who are determined to find out whether Dudley town is a
00:06:01
truly cursed Village or just a victim of those shifting social and economic Trends boo boring haunted cursed all
00:06:09
right so let's get into it located in the northwest corner of Connecticut the town of Cornwall was incorporated in
00:06:16
1740 like so long ago and it was after multiple shares of lands were purchased at auction from Yale College col wall
00:06:25
yeah and it was about a year or two earlier now early colonists were initially drwn to this region for
00:06:30
farming and the proximity to the honic river but they learned pretty quickly that the mountainous landscape made
00:06:37
Transportation difficult and that it also limited the crops that could be sold outside of the area for that very
00:06:43
reason ah now the river did Aid in transportation of agricultural Goods but most people in the area shifted their
00:06:50
focus to other forms of business like education and Mining they're just a little more fruitful yeah now among
00:06:57
those who immigrated to Cornwall were several members of The Dudley family ah Dudley family Dudley Town ah and in the
00:07:04
early 1740s they settled in this heavily wooded part of Cornwall that sat right on top of a high hill that in time came
00:07:11
to be known as deadle town now I was kind of saying it earlier the name would imply that they ended up with their own
00:07:18
whole ass town or like formally recognized reason yeah or yeah but it was just an informal name that they gave
00:07:26
to the settlement I also love that they gave the the name dead town like their last name was Dudley and they were like
00:07:32
Dudley town this is our town [ __ ] it feels like um and I'm I'm not equating them to him but it feels like something
00:07:38
mayor Humdinger from PAW Patrol would do that's a mom moment uh I just Humdinger
00:07:43
Town brought to you by Paw Patrol like I could see that happening you know what though that that man that man that man
00:07:51
checks now sort of like how a like an urban neighborhood like a city neighborhood might gain an informal
00:07:57
nickname due to the particular char characteristic that's exactly what it was like beant town for Boston you know
00:08:04
yeah which I didn't know why Boston was called beant toown really I thought it was B toown for the longest time of my
00:08:11
life Wow only about maybe five or six years ago did I learn you were in your 20s in my 20 my 20s or maybe like maybe
00:08:23
20 late teens but yeah I always thought it was Bown wow but it's beant toown because we have lot of baked beans here
00:08:30
that's hilarious that you did not know that I also didn't know that like baked beans were like a Boston thing yeah I
00:08:36
thought Boston baked beans yeah who knew I did you you but not me not I who knew
00:08:44
who knew but now I do or you know now anyways early settlers in the area included Thomas griffi Gideon oops
00:08:54
Gideon Dudley what you say I said shut up over there shut up computer uh barel Dudley Evel Dudley and Martin Dudley who
00:09:03
were eventually followed by other families that would also settle upon the town just wild ass names though wild ass
00:09:10
Nam bar is my favorite bar is where it's at oh my God and I meant to text you you
00:09:16
know that french guy on the pronunciation that we love yes I love that guy he I looked it up and he goes
00:09:21
bar it is easy bar he was like you can do it I was like thank you bar bar it is Easy
00:09:30
E I don't know if it is I love he always encourages he does I like [Music] him now at first the settlers in Dudley
00:09:52
toown tried to follow the path of other settlers in Cornwall by clearing large plots of forested land to establish
00:09:58
Farms of Their Own however after Decades of tilling the soil and trying but failing to establish
00:10:04
really any crops the residents learned that for a number of reasons the area was not well suited to farming and it
00:10:12
was definitely not as suited as the lower areas in the valley and again the natural limitations on Transportation
00:10:19
made selling the few crops that were successful very difficult so unable to farm the land the residents of dudle
00:10:25
town turned to the only other potentially lucrative resource at their disposal iron ore ah we all know it we
00:10:33
all know it we all love it we all Harvest it we all live it yeah you know or or I don't even really know what iron
00:10:41
or is do you I don't know I know that Bobby or was a hockey player the more you know in Boston in Boston brought to
00:10:48
you by Bean Town Bean town be town and btown how about that I mean it both Works get you a girl who could do both
00:10:56
exactly so in Connecticut was being settled by European colonists in the early 18th century so it occurred to
00:11:03
them that the western part of the state could potentially be rich with valuable minerals I don't know what it is about
00:11:10
the west but like it's all about minerals I know everything in the west even the western part of the eastern
00:11:15
states are are more fruitful I don't know why what's happening there what's up with the West I like the East
00:11:21
personally me as well personally but the problem however was that extracting iron
00:11:26
ore from the Earth was a very costly time consuming process that after you got through the entire thing could also
00:11:34
prove unprofitable making a profit was real hard back in this day it was but fortunately by the mid to end of the
00:11:41
18th century the onset of the American Revolutionary War drove the need for locally produced steel for arms which
00:11:47
dramatically increased the potential for local mining ah there you go so like sad
00:11:52
that war made I was going say yay for the residents of Cornwall living in dudleytown that demand for or war
00:11:59
created a welcome opportunity to replace those failed attempts at farming and soon the area became known for its
00:12:04
active mining industry and they were providing large amounts of charcoal to the growing mining industry now while
00:12:11
the end of the revolution saw a dramatic decrease in the need for war related iron production the industrialization of
00:12:18
Labor that occurred throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries ensured that New England's mining industry wasn't
00:12:24
going anywhere and during this period iron forges and Industrial blast furnaces were scattered across the re uh
00:12:31
region excuse me including two in Cornwall alone and as one of the few areas in Western Connecticut with a
00:12:37
quarry Cornwall and the dudleytown area specifically became a really important source of charcoal to keep the regional
00:12:44
furnaces operating so they were really really needed in this period of time which meant they were really really
00:12:50
profitable like we got a quarry we got a [ __ ] Quarry kid very Boston also yeah
00:12:55
it is yeah so everything's going great right going great for a little while but by the end of the 19th century the
00:13:03
prosperity the residents of Dudley toown were enjoying and just like sliving on began to decline before finally coming
00:13:09
to a complete end in the second decade of the 20th century damn because toward the middle of the 19th century the
00:13:16
discovery of rich or dep deposits in places like California and Nevada Nevada I think Nevada yeah those had driven the
00:13:24
mining industry out west again we all know it and that took most of Cornwall residents with it ah so they were kind
00:13:31
of [ __ ] again so soon after life in the relatively isolated area of Dudley town really became more of a hardship
00:13:38
like if you stayed you were roughing it and if you didn't want to stay you would
00:13:42
relocate to be closer to the train system and the center of town and those people just effectively abandon their
00:13:48
homes to eventually be reclaimed by the forest oh damn which like there's something about the forest just eating
00:13:53
up your house yeah there's something about the forest reclaiming things that really just sets me a light it [ __ ] me
00:14:02
up cuz I just picture the forest like eating your house yeah the forest is just like don't mind if I do like that's
00:14:08
what I think just like that's mine my trees are going back there like damn yeah the forest is she's a sassy she
00:14:15
will she'll just reclaim and good for her she should yeah now by the early 20th century there's like so many
00:14:20
centuries huh there only a handful of people still trying to manage a living in Dudley town until the late 1920s when
00:14:27
only one resident remained damn one in this once thriving Community unfortunately the last hold out learned
00:14:36
the same lesson of the early settlers and found the area impossible to farm eventually he lost all of his income and
00:14:43
had to abandon the farm and relocate closer to town poor person I know they have a name for him I'm not going to say
00:14:49
it because like it might be incorrect but some books point to this one man but then others are like no people just like
00:14:56
put him in there and like it wasn't so want to spread misinformation you don't want to do that now by the end of the
00:15:02
1920s Dudley town like I said had become completely abandoned and at that point it was purchased by a land trust known
00:15:09
as dark entry Forest Association that's [ __ ] up metal I love that that's a private organization started by New York
00:15:16
Phil philanthropists and their mission was to preserve the Region's uh forest ecosystem dark entry Forest oh yeah and
00:15:24
their particular emphasis was on education so they were like we're medaling as [ __ ] but we just like to
00:15:29
teach you things well that's a way to get people's attention that's the thing like I'm listening of course you are
00:15:35
your middle name is dark Association now under the management of this land trust
00:15:41
the area once known as Dudley Town became a popular destination for New Yorkers who needed an escape from city
00:15:47
life they found Cornwall a convenient place to vacation or a place where they could commute into the city for work and
00:15:54
since taking over the region in the late 1920s the dark entry Forest associate they have planted thousands of trees and
00:16:01
restored most of the once deforested region basically to its pre-colonial ecosystem hell yeah dark entry Forest
00:16:10
Association yeah they created a sanctuary for lots of bird species that had left previously in other Wildlife oh
00:16:17
I love that [ __ ] or have they because people say that there's like no wildlife
00:16:21
and it's like silent in those streets they tried now the decline and eventual abandonment of Dudley town was a long
00:16:28
process resulting in a shift of economic opportunities and the increasingly infeasibility of the area right exactly
00:16:36
totally yeah in simple terms people chalk it up to the decline in the demand for charcoal the inability to farm the
00:16:42
land and all of that led to making relatively isolated Dudley town just an undesirable place to live but but ghost
00:16:51
towns do have a way of you know getting our imagination to go wild and Dudley town is no different and maybe it's not
00:16:58
just our imagination I don't it is it's not because rumors of Supernatural forces and curses started even before
00:17:06
this place was fully abandoned hell yeah right so according to the Cornwall Historical Society the earliest mention
00:17:15
of the curse of dudle Dudley toown excuse me appeared in Edward sea star's 1926 book history of Cornwall people say
00:17:23
quote star's account has formed the basis of every story published since then about dudle town
00:17:29
but they are quick to point out that his account doesn't make any mention of the
00:17:32
supernatural it just weaves together a myriad of accounts about life in the 18th and 19th centuries presenting what
00:17:39
he refers to as the Doom of Dudley Town oo now his version of events start off very factually with the establishment of
00:17:46
Dudley town by The Dudley who actually were members of the British royal family damn yeah according to Star the family
00:17:54
actually fled England after the head of the family Edmund Dudley m was hunted down and executed for his role in a plot
00:18:02
to assassinate King George II oh [ __ ] so in some cases people say that he was going going to assassinate King George
00:18:09
II other sources have it as King Henry VII huh so I think the Tim lens just got a little obscured there yeah and I think
00:18:16
maybe some sources King Henry VII is such a a polarizing and like very like whoo figure that it's like throw him in
00:18:24
there and it's like oh [ __ ] exactly cuz he's also just even if you don't know like anything about
00:18:29
you know the name but the family feared that they would soon meet the same fate of being executed because they were
00:18:37
associated with him hell no so the remaining members of The Dudley Clan came to the colonies trading in quote
00:18:42
title and Fortune for a life of farming and brighter Horizons in Connecticut so they were literally like we don't want
00:18:49
to be associated with your plot to assassinate the king we don't so we're going to give everything up and just go
00:18:56
live in Connecticut just go live live in Connecticut and hopefully farm and then
00:19:00
when they got there they were like [ __ ] can't Farm can't farm and we're Royal so
00:19:03
like what do we even do [ __ ] yeah it's roughing it wow they were like let's go
00:19:07
camping essentially yeah and then they were like oh no we don't have skills it was kind of like Naked and Afraid except
00:19:12
they had some clothes yeah you know closed and Afraid closed Royal and afraid I would watch that no the legend
00:19:20
was expanded a decade later in the 19 excuse me shut up never the legend was expanded a decade later in the 1938
00:19:29
publication they found a way they found a way found a way written by Iva hunt Sherry and William gar garus gagas
00:19:37
excuse me according to Sher and gagas uh after Dudley's attempted assassination of the king a coven of Brit British
00:19:45
satanists placed a curse on Edmund Dudley's bloodline dooming them to a tragic existence no matter where they
00:19:53
fled I'm in here's my this story we really think think the the satanists of the time if there were any were going to
00:20:02
place a a curse on the guy that tried to kill the king you would feel like the sness would be against the king yeah cuz
00:20:09
he was all about like the church at that point yeah you'd think like some some some Anarchy kind of stuff right I don't
00:20:16
yeah I mean I'm like all right let's go someone play a CSE I believe the whole curse thing I'm just like I don't know
00:20:22
if it was Satanist I feel like would help I know I feel like they'd be like you know I feel like Satan like Satanist
00:20:28
don't they don't care enough to do that [ __ ] yeah no and they wouldn't be for they're not bothered enough I don't
00:20:34
think they'd be rooting for the crown necessar that's the thing I think that's like the misconception about Satanist is
00:20:40
so that they are bothered yeah they're not don't they actually like not even believe in very unbothered yeah it's not
00:20:46
even like a real deity or any kind of like entity there's like no it's a symbol you're the deity right yeah like
00:20:52
you worship yourself that's hot right then in Satan's like the the like symbol of like you know kind of Independence
00:21:01
and free thought and that's cool and baffy right like Baff baffy baffy he's a he's a cool symbol he is a cool symbol I
00:21:08
like him a lot we have a picture with him at the satanic temple I love baffy he's cool um but so according to
00:21:15
American hauntings Inc one of Edmund's Sons the guy that got assassinated he also tried to take control over the
00:21:21
British throne because like who wasn't trying to take control of the British throne I mean me I wasn't but well you
00:21:27
weren't alive if you had been alive me thinks you would have me thinks you would have [ __ ] over that CR hard but
00:21:35
instead of threatening to behead anybody this guy this guy just meddled and that
00:21:39
scared the absolute [ __ ] out of me oh my God that brought us back to early days
00:21:44
of recording when my charger would just be ripped out of the wall and fall down all the time that was my charger
00:21:50
everybody wow that was my charger falling out of the wall for no reason really is that plug even usually loose
00:21:57
no it's the curse yeah it just flew out of the wall a spooky a spooky I don't like it well instead of threatening to
00:22:05
behead anybody this guy one of his uh Sons actually just decided he would meddle into a marriage yeah so he
00:22:11
arranged the marriage of one of his sons to Lady Jane gray who I feel like we've
00:22:15
talked about before yeah M she's a very historical figure yeah and at this point
00:22:20
in time she was supposed to be next in line for the crown so he was effectively setting his son up to become king hell
00:22:26
yeah but unfortunately for them after Edward I believe it was the sixth if it's VI if the I is after the V you add
00:22:33
so yeah the sixth so unfortunately for them after Edward I 6 passed away Lady Jane did become Queen but her Reign was
00:22:41
shortlived and she was actually beheaded along with John Dudley and his son Guilford and IOP and IOP later John
00:22:50
Dudley's other son guilford's brother was said to have brought home a plague from France he had been like fighting in
00:22:56
France oh [ __ ] and when he came back with that plague he killed his officers his troops like like spreading the
00:23:03
plague to them and essentially went on to kill thousands throughout the country because of ill [ __ ] [ __ ] big yikes big
00:23:11
yikes big Target on your back right there wow dudle Dudley is not killing it but like also killing it yeah so other
00:23:19
accounts that emerged in the years that followed actually suggested that the curse begin centuries earlier when
00:23:25
Edmund Dudley was beheaded for attempting to assassinate King Henry VII like I was saying and the family
00:23:31
eventually was said to bring that curse with them to Cornwall when they fled New
00:23:34
England or when they fled England in the in time the curse of Dudley toown would
00:23:39
supposedly earn the region the nickname Village of the Damned oh my goodness but
00:23:46
other people think that nickname Village of the Damned started with a relatively
00:23:51
simple murder either way what a [ __ ] nickname of the damned if that's not a band name already what are the musical
00:23:58
people of the Damned well that's like a movie yeah that is that a movie actually
00:24:04
yeah Village of the Damned yeah cuz it's like um and like children of the Damned
00:24:08
oh I don't think I've ever seen those let me see hold on Village of by the way while I have you here and we're talking
00:24:14
about movies I want to watch that new um thanks killing movie me too I want to see that I really want to see that that
00:24:20
was um that's been like 16 years in the making like that first he first uh we're
00:24:26
just going to talk about Eli Roth for a second uh Eli Roth did like um did a short of that movie like in like
00:24:32
Grindhouse so it was like 16 years ago so people waiting for it forever it looks incred the full length thing of it
00:24:40
and he finally was able to do it and it looks I've heard amazing things about it
00:24:45
I've heard my girl Sydney on Tik Tok horror Chronicles hor Chronicles by the way quick little shout out to her she
00:24:52
has a podcast now oh [ __ ] called um I think it's called hello Sydney the hello
00:24:57
Sy and she like she like goes through horror movies she's like so knowledgeable I've told you guys about
00:25:03
her before so go listen to her podcast so it can blow up because she's great but she said and I trust her that it was
00:25:10
one of it was a [ __ ] phenomenal movie and that she thinks John Carver the killer in that movie is going to be one
00:25:16
of those like iconic killers and then there will be and I've waiting for one of those we haven't had on give me
00:25:21
another one I feel like the last iconic killer is probably like ghost face right
00:25:25
yeah it's like cuz you you got to wait for the real the real good one to put him on the Mount Rushmore of killers
00:25:30
it's true John and I had an argument about that the other day pin head belongs on there and I said John can't
00:25:37
decide who goes on the rush more of iconic Killers but he can decide who goes on the rush more of '90s R&B
00:25:45
exactly and you just have to stay in your own lane it's true we stay in our own Lanes here exactly but anyways back
00:25:50
to the Dudley yeah it all started with a relatively simple murder after Decades of struggling and ultimately again
00:25:57
failing to farm that land considerable tensions had Arisen between the families in Dudley Town cuz they're all trying to
00:26:03
make something happen happen that's not happening yeah they're all aggravated yeah you know they're all like Regina
00:26:08
George and Gretchen Weiner's over the fetch of it all yeah it's not going to happen it's not and neither is the
00:26:13
farming now those tensions were said to finally come to a head in 1792 when Gerson Hollister was found murdered in a
00:26:22
home owned by a man named William Tanner now the weird thing is Hollister's murderer is never named no one knows who
00:26:31
really murdered him oh [ __ ] and it's unclear why he was even murdered in the first place but it is said that
00:26:38
immediately after the murder occurred William Tanner started to lose his [ __ ] Marbles and would go around just
00:26:46
speaking all kinds of wild things to his neighbors about wild animals and demons
00:26:52
living in the woods and saying they were responsible until he finally went completely insane and like straight up
00:26:59
lost his mind wow but before that he claimed that some kind of unrecognizable animal killed Hollister in the forest or
00:27:08
like attacked him and then he brought him back into his home to try to help him and that's where he died oh damn
00:27:14
other people say that he died um building a barn but that's boring yeah that's boring I think animal demon
00:27:23
animal demon demon animal yeah you know oh [ __ ] and this guy just went like mad
00:27:28
after afterwards damn and it's like animal demon William Tanner yeah I don't know I don't know I don't know wow but
00:27:36
according to Legend Abel Dudley was the next to fall victim to the curse not long after Hollister's murder Abel's
00:27:44
neighbors noticed that he had become constantly distracted and also began decompensating until he too finally lost
00:27:51
his mind altogether wow so he had to be taken away actually because he was talking about about demon animals and
00:27:58
just like all kinds of nonsense to the PE like people took it as nonsense so there's like a consistent thread through
00:28:04
this madness demon animals yeah now once he had been taken away Abel Nathaniel Carter and his family moved into Abel's
00:28:12
house oh [ __ ] but they too became so disturbed by inexplicable tragedies that they just up and left and moved to
00:28:21
Birmingham New York where they built a cabin holy [ __ ] now I have like chills even just saying this so they got out of
00:28:27
there because something just so Disturbed them in that house that they moved out of the state over to New York
00:28:34
now one day while Nathaniel was in the village the home was raided and his wife and children were killed and when he
00:28:42
returned later that day he was also killed and according to the New England Historical Society the unfortunate turn
00:28:49
of events was likely linked to The Dudley toown case and even followed them all the way to New York holy [ __ ] isn't
00:28:56
that nuts like somehow how the curse rubbed off on them from living in Able's house damn don't move into Abel's house
00:29:04
don't do it don't do it now the madness continued a short time later when General uh hean Swift I believe his name
00:29:11
is a hero of the Revolutionary War returned home after the war he lived happily with his third wife Sarah fi for
00:29:18
a short time until she was struck and killed by a bolt of lightning what the [ __ ] struck and killed by a bolt of
00:29:26
lightning and after which he quote went Stark raving mad everyone's going mad I'm like if my man's got killed by a
00:29:35
like a lightning strike out of nowhere I might too also go mad but it's like who
00:29:39
gets struck by lightning that's the thing this is strange and of course in Dudley Town dud she just like standing
00:29:46
on her porch and got struck by lightning oh my God mhm now then there was the newspaper editor and onetime
00:29:54
presidential candidate Horus gy believe he was going up against um ulyses Grant oh [ __ ] yeah now in 1872 just one week
00:30:04
before the presidential election gle's wife Mary Cheney took a trip to her childhood home in Dudley town oh no and
00:30:12
hanged herself inexplicably what the [ __ ] like according to everybody nothing had been
00:30:18
going on there was the stress of like the presidential election coming up just went to Dudley town to hang herself went
00:30:25
to Dudley toown to her childhood home I have chill freaks the [ __ ] out that's spooky yeah it is that's really spooky I
00:30:34
also realized that when you said ulyses as grant that I was like oh [ __ ] like he's like my favorite President or
00:30:39
something like that like I don't know why I responded that way I have no feelings about uiss ASR I don't know a
00:30:45
lot about him I think he had a rockstar mustache all right then oh [ __ ] uiss I
00:30:50
think he did I just realized my my response seemed like I was a real like fan girl for uiss it's a secret thing
00:30:57
that we've never told you secret did he even know the secret thing oh no his mustache wasn't even that great no no he
00:31:03
had like a a mustache beard combo okay oh I think I I can picture him in my head yeah you
00:31:10
know yeah the ulses side quest oh I think he might have been good I don't know we don't have to get into
00:31:17
that that's okay I just I I feel like I should clarify that yeah you should that
00:31:21
I'm not like here just like thirsting for not all up in I mean he's he's a good looking man you were be like
00:31:30
[Music] okay but damn this is all this is a lot and then so he loses his wife after goes
00:31:48
after she goes and like you know hangs herself in her child at home in Dudley town and then he loses the presidential
00:31:54
candidacy like or he loses the the election yeah because the curse [ __ ] terrifying now this person is said to be
00:32:03
the final victim of the dudle Town Madness and she is the wife of Dr William Clark one of the original
00:32:10
founding members of the dark entry Forest Association oh [ __ ] according to Legend Dr Clark took a short business
00:32:18
trip to New York in 1924 and when he returned home to Dudley toown his wife had completely lost it and he literally
00:32:27
had to like institutionalize her at this point everyone's going mad he she spent
00:32:33
the rest of her life in a psychiatric institution wow but she too referenced strange animals in the woods shut up
00:32:40
before descenting into complete quote unquote Madness guys what the [ __ ] is going on with that there's animals
00:32:46
Animal demon [ __ ] animals something's going on now the madness that seemed to consume so many residents of dudleytown
00:32:52
was just one of the many inexplicable tragedies to befall the community death seemed to have taken a liking to Dudley
00:32:59
toown from the very beginning yeah in 1774 not long after um ad donam Carter settled in the area with his
00:33:08
family every single one of them was killed by a mysterious illness shut up the entire family entire family now
00:33:17
according to uh Sher re I believe it was the mysterious deaths of the Carter family that so Disturbed Nathaniel
00:33:24
Carter to the point that he also relocated his entire family to bur uh excuse me Bing Hampton and that was the
00:33:31
guy that up and left to New York but then was killed in New York holy [ __ ] now in the late 19th century the curse
00:33:39
also found its way to the family of John Patrick broy when his wife died of consumption a short time later the two
00:33:46
Brophy children disappeared into the woods and were never seen again what their mother died of
00:33:55
consumption which like you can chalk up to a car was dying of consumption but then
00:34:01
the children disappeared into the woods and no one ever saw them again you said two children two children just
00:34:07
disappeared into the [ __ ] Dark Forest and no one where the demon animals are and we're not done with this poor family
00:34:14
because if those tragic losses weren't enough the home in which the Brophy lived then burned to the ground under
00:34:21
mysterious circumstances I mean come on some people think that John broy at the fire himself self which like at that
00:34:27
point I would probably light my home fire too blame but whatever the case after the deaths of his or the death of
00:34:33
his wife and the disappearances of his two children he left Dudley town and was never heard from again I cannot get over
00:34:40
the fact that these two children just disappeared in the my chills also will not going go away telling the story
00:34:48
I'm they just walked into like that the thought of people just walking into the forest and disappearing forever to be
00:34:55
seen again holy [ __ ] were the demon animals like beckoning them that's the thing like what was going on why' they
00:35:01
just walk into the forest I don't know but I hate it and I know it's probably not on record but I wonder how old they
00:35:06
were and [ __ ] like I didn't see anything about their ages but children so it's like they were
00:35:11
younger and it's like they and if they're going to wander into the woods like you would think like around 10 or
00:35:17
younger like even that it's like damn you just walked into the damn forest and never to be seen again never and then he
00:35:23
was never heard from again after he just dipped after like potentially allegedly lighting his Blaze
00:35:30
wow so by the mid 1970s after people all the people had flood and nature began to
00:35:36
reclaim the L the land all that remained of deadly town and I believe still today
00:35:40
All That Remains is a few Cellar holes oh which is so [ __ ] creepy and then one or two of the original dark or dirt
00:35:49
roads which are also probably dark and the remnants of centuries Old Farms just scattered throughout the forest and that
00:35:57
was by the 70s right now I'm you probably can't even find the Farms damn now after 50 years of ownership the dark
00:36:02
entry Forest Association had finally started to see the fruits of their labor and the forest that was once Dudley Town
00:36:09
gained a reputation as a popular destination for hikers and campers from around New England and Beyond but they
00:36:15
weren't alone by the mid1 1970s a growing National enthusiasm for folklore and the Paranormal LED literally anyone
00:36:25
with an interest in the Supernatural out into their communities to find evidence
00:36:29
in their own backyards of Dudley town in late May 1976 a reporter from the merian
00:36:35
J the Meridian Journal excuse me joined a Paras pychology group from the University of Connecticut into the dark
00:36:41
entry Forest where they spent a night in the remains of Dudley town this just like creeps me the [ __ ] out it's like
00:36:48
barely anything but it just creeps me out reporter Chris Campos wrote it is a most unusually quiet Forest not actually
00:36:56
quiet but practically silent except for the occasional gust of wind through the tree trops Treetops there are no sounds
00:37:03
of life in the Woods After Dark not even one solitary Cricket cracks the une Earthly silence after dark something
00:37:10
about that [ __ ] me up terrifying yeah that [ __ ] me because it it reminds me of the um okar okahara yep yep um the
00:37:21
the Forest in Japan at the base of Mount Fiji and it's so dense that it's so silent um yeah it's like it's got that
00:37:28
like just that's why it's called like that like ocean of trees kind of thing cuz it's just like dead silence oh it's
00:37:35
I there's something about I can't even sleep in silence I can't and especially like a a forest a forest should be when
00:37:42
you walk in cuz you think of like a forest around here that you walk in and it's just like bustling with like you
00:37:48
know birds chirping and yeah squirrel running Buzz of insects and like you know leaves rattl you know rustling and
00:37:55
like just and wind rustling through like there's always sounds that's like the and they're comforting sounds of a
00:38:01
forest yeah and to go into a forest and have it be dead silent dead silent and he said specifically after dark you
00:38:09
don't even hear like a [ __ ] Cricket see and that's and at night you hear nothing but sounds from the forest we we
00:38:15
bring the dogs out at the end of the night oh yeah and the forest is [ __ ] they're partying it's a rager in the I
00:38:22
hear [ __ ] owls hooting at each other there like all crickets coyotes coyotes there's all kinds of [ __ ] like you want
00:38:30
to hear something you want to hear that [ __ ] when you don't hear anything I can't that throws me for a loop yeah and
00:38:36
he said he was like we didn't really experience anything Supernatural like or that people I think would take a
00:38:42
supernatural but he said quote we all sensed a very uncomfortable very uneasy and very frightening presence around us
00:38:50
o like couldn't put their finger on it but something was there and it was off see and I feel like you know your body
00:38:58
knows when something's off and it's like when you feel a heaviness and an unsettled I'm not kidding chills the
00:39:04
thing like it's I feel like you know when something is a miss you totally do and something's a Miss there it is now
00:39:11
Campo story actually got picked up by the wire service and over the course of the week that followed it appeared in
00:39:17
new newspapers across New England and within a few years the area once known as Dudley became known as one of the
00:39:23
nation's Premier haunted locations damn as one report put it one of the state's most Melancholy map points oh
00:39:30
everybody's got a way of just making this the creepiest thing ever the Village of the Damned the Village of the
00:39:36
Damned Melancholy map point now within just a few years the Legends had completely taken off and according to
00:39:43
some the curse like we said began after the residents had moved to the village and had been placed by quote a dabbler
00:39:49
in Black Magic causing those residents of Cornwall proper to fear the village and all those who lived in it and and
00:39:56
similarly the story about William Clark was moved forward by more than a decade to
00:40:01
1937 and upon his return from his New York business trip his wife hadn't just lost her mind but had quote seen
00:40:08
something so terrible that her mind snapped oh which like that's kind of what I think hey I mean I wouldn't put
00:40:15
it it's not shocking when you look at everything else exactly no by the 19 the early 1980s Ghost Hunters and Legend
00:40:22
Trippers and scavengers they had all set upon Cornwall all looking to have firsthand experience with this haunted
00:40:28
forest or to find some kind of Relic that they could take away and possibly sell cuz this place was getting all
00:40:33
kinds of street cred yeah yet for all the interest in the legend of Dudley Town few people outside of Connecticut
00:40:40
seem to grasp what it was that they were looking for Dodie wolf told a reporter from The New York Times most people ask
00:40:47
where Dudley town is after having walked right through it oh damn so he was like
00:40:51
I don't know like is it that crazy if you're walking right through it and you don't know yeah but I think that's
00:40:55
boring I think it's just yeah it's whatever that's even weirder and when it's in your backyard like of course
00:41:00
you're going to be like yeah there's nothing wrong with it and it's like that's even weirder that you can walk
00:41:04
through a whole last like quote unquote town and not know it like that's even spookier yeah now the granddaughter of
00:41:11
William Clark wolf like so she's like a descendant of the studly town area wolf and her husband had received special
00:41:17
permission from the dark entry Forest Association to do s uh selective logging in order to help Spur new growth so she
00:41:24
and her husband had a front row seat to watch this curious out of Staters like influx wander around in search of the
00:41:31
cursed town oh [ __ ] now some Cornwall residents were happy to embrace the legends of the cursed forest and they
00:41:37
welcomed visitors and of course their tourist dollar at the Cornwall library books like ghost towns of New England
00:41:44
were prominently displayed in order to Aid the Curious librarian hildr Daniel oh of course you're a librarian [ __ ]
00:41:53
H I'm obsessed with you be librarian for the ever for not the rest of your life for the rest of Eternity I want you to
00:42:01
just always be hriff always be like wow but hildr said they're all wide-eyed wanting to believe in ghosts which like
00:42:09
me too yeah hild me me as well I want to believe in ghost very much I love it so
00:42:15
much but the stories of the the curse according to One Elder residence were made out of uh whole cloth mostly by
00:42:21
those who'd recently moved to the area and according to this resident they sit around and dream things up like this is
00:42:27
just so that they can entertain their summer guests ah but I'm like I don't know about that because I think
00:42:33
everybody's starting to get a little bit irritated that like too many people are
00:42:36
coming yeah so now you're like no no no it's not haunted because it's like there's history to back it up that like
00:42:41
a lot of [ __ ] went down there yeah at the very least and it's like so something happened I mean there's some
00:42:48
bad energy there there is and by the mid 1980s stories of the supernatural experiences in that people had in Dudley
00:42:55
town at this point began circulating widely there were unexplained anomalies that showed up in photos taken in the
00:43:02
forest incoherent voices that seemed to start from a afar and work their way closer o and strange shapes and subtle
00:43:10
movements that people would catch out of the corner of their eye and of course there was that Eerie unnatural silence
00:43:16
that was emphasized by the lack of bugs in Wildlife why wasn't there any Wildlife or bugs yeah now as time went
00:43:23
on the reports of Supernatural occurrence grew to include a wolflike shadow quote unquote that followed
00:43:30
hikers but would always disappear if somebody tried to get a good look at it ooh so it was like it was following you
00:43:36
and then the second you sensed it was and turned your head it would be gone it would be gone but like you knew
00:43:40
something was following you o spooky yeah very very creepy now after more than a decade of entertaining the ghost
00:43:46
hunters and visiting excuse me and visitors seeking a brush with the supernatural by the mid to late 1980s
00:43:53
the tone of Cornwall locals did become noticeably different yeah they were getting a little bit irritated with the
00:43:58
influx of people try to shut it down I don't necessarily blame them like if you live in a quiet town and that's your
00:44:03
desire course to have an influx of people you're like [ __ ] my life totally get it but I think that's also why the
00:44:08
why they try to shut down the uh any kind of thought that it could be yeah that's what I think and I get it I get
00:44:14
it too I might do the same thing but Cornwall Historical Society president uh Michael ganet told reporters there are
00:44:21
some nuts who believe that sort of stuff it's us we're the nuts also rude rude very rude way of saying that so rude I'm
00:44:28
I'm kind of mad at you actually so and he said when the warm weather starts they'll all be around looking for ghosts
00:44:34
sometimes there's so many of them that I can't even get out of my driveway maybe
00:44:38
they think there's an old Saloon with a swinging door instead of a bunch of holes in the ground or maybe there's a
00:44:42
[ __ ] demon in the woods in your area and you're trying to hide it mayor yeah and it's like you know what here's the
00:44:47
thing I get it you just said sometimes you can't get out of your driveway that's [ __ ] up I get that I'd be
00:44:52
pissed all right but like chill mhm and then further years later he said in an interview with the New York Times go to
00:45:00
Dudley town they tell you it's this real ghostly place but the truth is Dudley town is a big fraud whoa like what did
00:45:06
Dudley town do to you oh yeah that sounded like that sounded like it was personal sounds like you had an
00:45:11
experience that you want to chalk up to faky right you don't want people blocking you into your driveway so
00:45:16
you're like [ __ ] this it's a fraud exactly so the increasingly frustrated and and annoyed perspective of the
00:45:22
cornwall's locals aren't all that difficult to understand like he said what began decades earlier as like a
00:45:28
Campfire story told by hikers and campers had in the years that followed ballooned into this crazy maob legend
00:45:35
that was starting to attract all these visitors that locals were like can you not yeah and by the late 1980s locals
00:45:41
constantly complained about the yearly influx of visitors who they said have damaged reputations and often lure
00:45:47
polluters litterers and other undesirables and that sucks and that sucks cuz that can happen like we've
00:45:52
seen that happen in other places like in Salem every Halloween the res of Salem have to deal with a lot
00:45:59
of [ __ ] and a lot of disrespect is [ __ ] up if you want to go somewhere and experience it by all means respect
00:46:06
it but respect the place that you are so Desiring to go to yeah like what are you
00:46:11
doing like there's always a few bad apples that [ __ ] it up for everybody else yeah and according to Joan and John
00:46:17
leech lifelong residents of Cornwell they said the real curse of Dudley town are the legends themselves which have
00:46:22
attracted everyone from witchcraft societies to motorcyclist who disrupt the flow of life in Cornwall and rarely
00:46:28
pick up after themselves yeah that's the thing it's like I don't care who you are
00:46:32
witchcraft motorcyclist like whatever everything in between pick up after yourself just pick up after yourself and
00:46:37
like keep it quiet after a certain hour yeah but despite the complaints and frustration of locals interest in Dudley
00:46:43
toown in the in the curse only intensified in the 90s and the Legends got a big boost in 96 when a guy named
00:46:50
Greg Suz I believe is how you say the last name a college student from walling for Connecticut
00:46:56
took some pictures in Dudley town that he believed contained evidence of Supernatural activity oh [ __ ] he ended
00:47:02
up taking those photos to this like local and husband wife Duo from Connecticut I don't know any husband and
00:47:08
wife Duos that are into the Paranormal you line waren ring a bell never heard of them no well they immediately they're
00:47:16
everywhere they're everywhere I love it good for them I I get it like go off you
00:47:21
guys are a hot couple but they immediately recognize the potential of the photo and just like the [ __ ] wildness of
00:47:29
them Lorraine Warren told a reporter those pictures were the best I've seen of Dudley town for some reason the
00:47:34
spirits seemed to be attracted to that guy ooh according to the Warrens Greg's photos captured electromagnetic energy
00:47:42
that they referred to as ghost globules ghost globules ghost globules that's awesome and they said I [ __ ] love it
00:47:50
they said this was proof that the area once known as deadly town was indeed a hot bed of Supernatural activity so [ __ ]
00:47:56
y'all who say it's not yeah now with Greg's permission the Warren started using his photos in their presentations
00:48:02
about the haunted forest and according to him his objective was to gather an abundance of evidence of the Paranormal
00:48:10
and hope that he might be able to convert all the Skeptics yeah because he's like I know what I saw dude and I
00:48:14
know what like got printed out on my picture yeah he told the reporter there's going to be people who don't
00:48:19
believe it but I don't really care I was there I won't even say it's a ghost there are other things that coexist that
00:48:24
you can't see with your it's understandable for people to be skeptical I was hell yeah so this is
00:48:29
literally somebody who went into that Forest skeptical that they were going to experience anything and came came out
00:48:36
like completely confirmed yeah and the fact that he's just like I don't give a [ __ ] if you believe me I was there I was
00:48:41
there I know like I know now for their part Ed and Loren Warren agreed but they encouraged him to proceed with an
00:48:47
abundance of caution he said I go there I observe I take some pictures and leave
00:48:52
I think there are really bad places to go if I felt something like that I would leave and never come back the Warren say
00:48:58
don't conjure up things in Cemetery they say you have to have faith in God or in
00:49:02
yourself which I like that they give you the option there there you go like have
00:49:05
you can have your faith in God or have it in yourself have have just whatever Faith you feel is right yeah so whatever
00:49:12
his intentions or the intentions were of anybody around him by the 1990s the residents of Cornwall had reached their
00:49:19
limit when it came to the ghost hunters and The Thrill Seekers and just the the disrespect curiosity it all in the
00:49:26
disrespect disrespect that's what they had enough with I feel like if if it was respectful and people were kind of like
00:49:31
doing it in the right way it wouldn't have been as big of it but by then the wooded area around Dudley Town had not
00:49:37
only attracted countless paranormal enthusiasts but also a large number of teens and those claiming to be
00:49:43
occultists who held seances and Gatherings and they and were just causing they were running a muck
00:49:48
basically a Ruckus you know and in addition to being a general nuisance the attraction was also posing fire hazards
00:49:55
hazard excuse me and other dangers on this private property which the dark uh entry Forest Association was like we're
00:50:01
trying to like reclaim the forest and like save the forest can you not burn it down so that led them to close the area
00:50:08
to public uh access in 1999 that I get I get it I get especially the fire thing it's like yeah
00:50:16
your whole point is you're trying to save these ecosystems and this forest and people are getting Loosey Goosey
00:50:22
with it so only you can prevent forest exactly in dark entry Forest Association was like we can ex SM gave us
00:50:31
responsibility only us so the closure of the area prevented some seeking out the
00:50:36
old ghost town but not everybody was dissuaded by the signs noting that the area was private property it's like the
00:50:41
caves that get sealed off and people break through them and go in anyway it's that's exactly what I thought of that's
00:50:46
the thing like there are literally signs all over this area that say you will be
00:50:50
prosecuted but people are like I don't give a [ __ ] I don't give a [ __ ] and the
00:50:54
success of films like The Blair Witch Project only encouraged a new generation of paranormal enthusiasts and would be
00:51:00
horror filmmakers to go out into their own communities like Dudley toown and try to make found for uh found footage
00:51:07
horror movies it sounds like it would be a cool place to make a found footage horror movie why would you not go into
00:51:12
the most [ __ ] Haunted Forest in America to make your found footage movie and the reason why you wouldn't
00:51:18
now is because I'm not encouraging you to because it's bad it's bad it's private property private property don't
00:51:27
[Music] so despite their best efforts to keep people out of deadly town the local
00:51:42
authorities they had a new generation of Ghost Hunters who thanks to the legend circulating widely now on the internet
00:51:48
were determined to get into that Forest [ __ ] internet I know Connecticut state trooper Scott Aken told reporters
00:51:55
in 2008 I would say we site Tres trespassers several times a month most of the trespassers we site believe
00:52:01
deadly town is haunted a lot of them are looking for ghosts and stuff like that now if caught firsttime offenders
00:52:07
typically receive a ticket for about $100 which that's a lot yeah but then repeat offenders can receive even
00:52:13
stronger penalties in 2008 an 18-year-old was caught trespassing in dudleytown late one evening and due in
00:52:20
part to having drug paraphernalia on him at the time he was arrested and eventually charged $1,000 oh damn so
00:52:27
that's why I'm saying like don't do this it's not worth it yeah because then a few years later in December 2011 police
00:52:34
arrested eight people from Maine and Massachusetts who trespassed into dudly town in order to film their own found
00:52:41
footage horror movie titled Dudley toown curse the 49th key obsessed and when asked why they were even interested in
00:52:47
making a movie about Dudley toown they were like uh because it's [ __ ] cursed H clearly they were like Dudley town
00:52:53
this is a quote they said Dudley town is a fascinating area it's got this history
00:52:57
that dates back to 16th century England and one member went on to say there's a lot of traction on the internet already
00:53:03
the local lore about it we're interested in creating a cool story around the urban legend I get that and that's why
00:53:08
people are interested but again yeah but don't do it don't do it don't do it but
00:53:13
I did find a listener tale for one of our very own who did it who happened to do it I don't I think it was it was way
00:53:19

00:55:31
the show notes the episode Mandy goes link attached talk about it on an episode it'll be fun I will here we are
00:55:38
now she says so we drove up to the this Village cuz it's out in the middle of the woods side note the road is called
00:55:43
Dark entry Forest Road isn't that the most metal street name ever yes yes it Mandy and as we're driving it gets
00:55:49
really cool outside not exactly freezing but enough to make you wish you had a light hoodie in the summer next the
00:55:55
radio crackles and goes in and out which I a skeptic explain as oh we're in the middle of butt [ __ ] nowhere so that
00:56:00
explains it next comes the fog like big fog slowly rolling over and over the road in puffy clouds that obscure
00:56:09
anything more than 5 feet in front of us we all have the chills and start to nervously laugh to mask the feeling of
00:56:14
impending dread But Here Comes the really hideous part we see something an animal walking on the side of the road
00:56:23
as we get closer we realize that we have no idea what kind of animal this is my friends and I are squinting through the
00:56:29
fog to try to see what this is as we slow down alongside it the creature was as tall as a deer and very very thin
00:56:36
like a greyhound it was sauntering like it was on a catwalk at Fashion Week oh hell yeah and its hit bone hipbones
00:56:42
jetted out with every step just swaying as it made its as it made its way along real slow it had no ears it had large
00:56:52
feet no fur or hair just grayish White skin and the skin was so thin that it was almost clear and in some spots it
00:57:00
was scarred and scabby e as we got closer we cannot for the life of us figure out what this is but we are
00:57:06
uneasy at Best by now The Vibes had changed and we had all shut up cuz we were terrified of this freakish being we
00:57:13
were pretty much holding our breath as we approached and rolled up right next to it we all had our eyes glued to this
00:57:19
mystery creature just then the creature turns its head very very slowly oh no until it is looking right into the
00:57:28
passenger open passenger window of my car we all pause and then it lunges at the window with a snarl just narrowly
00:57:38
missing the open window and hitting the frame of the car as we all shriek even the dudes I floor it and race out of
00:57:46
there almost in tears from what just happened as the thing runs behind the car in the middle of the road I know I
00:57:51
hate it oh my God I'm so stressed Mandy says what was that thing why did it attack us was it a crypted I do not know
00:57:57
my dudes it was a crypted my friends and I tell this story to anyone with ears and no one can tell us what we saw but
00:58:03
we seen it we seen it and it scared me to death naturally I went back a few more times naturally and Weir [ __ ]
00:58:11
happened every time so I can share some more stories at a later time and later is right now I was going to say when's
00:58:17
later later is right now and later is right now that made me laugh so hard cuz you know some people be like and I I'll
00:58:22
send those later now M's like right now right now the next time I went a few years later I was with a different group
00:58:28
of friends we were giggling in the car on the drive up there when the weird fog and the chill crept up again and the
00:58:34
radio died just like the first time it's dead quiet in the woods like people say
00:58:41
and nothing is around we pull over to the side of the road and we were trying to get up the nerve to get out of the
00:58:46
car and walk around the village or is it ruins I feel like ruins are ancient not
00:58:50
Pilgrim anyway we're psyching ourselves up we count down three two 2 1 and run we scream and run around and feel real
00:58:58
proud of ourselves for being masters of fear good job we make our way back to the car after a while and head for home
00:59:03
my friend picks up her phone that she'd left in the backseat of the car while we
00:59:06
pranced in the forest a camera phone so cool we she's got a new photo on her phone
00:59:14
it's a face none of ours not one of ours what the [ __ ] this face has glasses and
00:59:21
none of us were wearing glasses she asked who who [ __ ] with her phone but we were all in the woods Dancing in the
00:59:26
Moonlight when the pick was taken so how does this pick exist who was in the photo who is it the picture had this
00:59:32
bluish tint and the face was very pale almost ghostly we freaked out and drove back to civilization loaded up on 60
00:59:40
bucks worth of Taco Bell and pulled an all nighter much too scared to sleep we showed the picture to my sister who's a
00:59:45
big time computer nerd for her to analyze she offloaded it to her computer using sorcery because who the [ __ ] knew
00:59:51
how to do that in the early 2000s and when she did did the picture somehow deleted itself from both the phone and
00:59:58
the computer poof gone like it never existed what sounds like lies but the people I was with on these dudly Town
01:00:07
Adventures will all swear to the accuracy this [ __ ] happened I don't know how to explain it but nothing this weird
01:00:13
has ever happened to me except for when I go to deadly Town what the [ __ ] wild
01:00:17
times kids I've got no answers for you anyway hope you liked my tals love you keep it weird Mandy Mandy I love you I
01:00:25
love everything about you and holy [ __ ] I love everything about Mandy too and the fact that Mandy experienced this
01:00:33
wild ass creature that people seem to have gone mad after seeing yes like people were talking about demon animals
01:00:40
in the woods and that looks like that's a demon animal Mandy literally said a crypted a Damon like what is this like
01:00:46
she described a demon animal not you can't figure out what it is and that it lunged at them it was it attacked them
01:00:54
all these people are going mad after this probably because they were almost attacked by this demon animal well think
01:00:59
of the one guy that died inexplicably yes and like definitely didn't die setting up a barn and the kids
01:01:04
disappeared in the forest yeah um yeah like what the [ __ ] [ __ ] scary [ __ ] holy [ __ ] I for one believe that Dudley
01:01:12
town is haunted I know there are Skeptics out there but I believe it especially for for those people to have
01:01:19
those things happen to them and be talking about this crazy ass animal in the woods in like the 1700s and then to
01:01:24
have our girl Mandy go out there in the 20s in the 20s in the 20s or in the 201 like 10s and see the same thing yeah
01:01:32
there's a reason that people don't want people going out into those woods exact it's because they don't want people to
01:01:37
get eaten by Cryptids and I don't want you to get eaten by Cryptids or got a $1,000 fine it's true so you know what I
01:01:42
trust my girl Mandy I do too uh I always have always will so I trust her and it's
01:01:48
haunted it's haunted that was a demon animal holy [ __ ] how [ __ ] like that's so un settling and the whole time I was
01:01:56
