  Speaker 1: I have to start today's video with a disclaimer. Don't
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: go to Dudleytown, Connecticut. This is not a prank.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: It's not a stunt. It's not clickbait. It's the truth.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I'm confident that at the end of this video, there
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: are going to be people that want to go.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Don't do it. One, it's illegal to go to Dudleytown,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: it's private property. And two, as.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: You'll see in today's video, there is a reason why
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: people abandoned Dudleytown. It is not a safe place for people.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: But before we get into the story about Dudleytown, if

• 0:55
  Speaker 1: let's get into today's story. It was a bright summer
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: day in 1906 and Dr.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: William C.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Clark and his wife Harriet were driving slowly through a
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: beautiful part of northwestern Connecticut called Litchfield County. Litchfield is
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: a rural, very hilly area with lots of winding country
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: roads and the Clarks were there to try to scout
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: out an area to build their second home.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: The couple lived full-time in New York City, where Dr.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Clark was an oncologist, which is a cancer doctor, and
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: he was also a professor at the Columbia College of
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Physicians and Surgeons. And while the Clarks' lives were very
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: exciting and fulfilling in the city, they were also very
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: hectic and chaotic. And so the reason they had settled
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: on Litchfield as the place to look for a location
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: for their second home is.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Because it was the total opposite of the city. It
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: was quiet. It was peaceful. It was perfect. And so
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: as this couple.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: From New York City drove along these winding backcountry roads,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: they eventually reached this beautiful covered wooden bridge. And after
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: they drove across it, they got this view up onto
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: this mountainside off to their right. And high up on
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: this mountain was this huge, shaded, beautiful forest. And they
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: saw there was a road that appeared to kind of
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: spider off and go into these woods. Now, the couple
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: had no idea what was up there, but it was
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: just so beautiful and they were immediately so drawn to
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: it that they decided they would go check it out
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and see if maybe there was a spot for their
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: second home in these woods.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: And so Dr. Clark took the car and he went
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: up this access road.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: And very quickly, as they began climbing up this hillside,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the road became very bumpy and overgrown.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: It was pretty obvious that not many cars were driving.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Into these woods. And so before they even reached the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: tree line, Dr. Clark had to pull the car over
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and park it on the side of the road. And
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: then he and Harriet got out and then on foot.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: they continued up towards the forest. And once the couple
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: actually entered the forest, immediately the sunlight faded because the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: canopy over their heads was so thick and the air
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: became cool and refreshing. And after walking for only a
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: couple of minutes, the forest, which at first seemed very
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: still and quiet, suddenly became alive. They could hear birds
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: chirping and animals running around and insects buzzing. And then
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: up ahead, they saw there was this field off to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the side of the road that was full of all
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: these wild apple trees growing in all different directions. And
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: as they got closer, they saw there was just a
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: deer right in the middle of the apple trees, eating
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: apples directly off the branches. And then just past all
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: these apple trees, the couple began passing these huge, beautiful
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: patches of roses and lilacs and bright yellow bitter tansy
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: flowers that lined the road. And then before long, the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: couple was stepping over these babbling brooks, and off in
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the distance they could hear the sound of running water,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: like fresh spring water coming down.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Off the mountain.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: And then, as the sun did begin to poke through
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the canopy above them, it almost looked like the forest
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: was sparkling, literally. This forest was sitting on a hillside,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and the hillside, which was made up of rock, had
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: mica inside of it. And mica is a kind of
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: mineral that when sunlight hits it, it almost looks like
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: it's shimmering.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: And of course, there were the owls. As Dr.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Clark and his wife walked farther and farther into this
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: beautiful forest... they heard more and more owls hooting off
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: in the distance. And to the Clarks, this made the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: forest feel enchanted. It was like the owls were personally
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: greeting them. By the time the couple had turned around
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and begun heading back to their car, they had already
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: made up their mind that they were going to build
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: their second home in that forest. And so, after returning
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: to their home in New York, they promptly put in
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the paperwork to purchase 1,000 acres inside of that Connecticut forest.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: And that forest had a name.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: It was called Dark Entry, and it was named that
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: because it looked like, from the outside, the forest was
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: basically dark all the time.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: There was shade cast on it from mountains nearby, and.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Then also the canopy inside of Dark Entry is exceptionally thick.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: At one time, there actually had been a town inside
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of Dark Entry Forest However, all the people who had
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: lived in that town were now all gone. The only
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: remnants of this town were a couple of crumbling stone
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: walls and a couple of home foundations that were scattered
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: about the dark entry forest floor. The Clarks had seen
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: some of these ruins as they walked along this overgrown
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: path through the forest, but they weren't concerned. Instead, they
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: felt like these ruins actually added some charm to the forest.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: After the land purchase was finalized, Dr. Clark began looking
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: for local builders in Connecticut who could help him build.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: This second home inside of Dark Entry Forest.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: But no matter how much money he offered these local
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Connecticut builders, they all said no. Now, none of them
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: gave a straight answer to Dr. Clark about why they
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: were turning him down.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: So Dr.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Clark just kind of assumed that, you know, hey, this
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: project is not huge. It's just one house and the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: forest is pretty isolated and hard to get to. And
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: so he thought, you know, probably these builders think it's
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: not worth the effort.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: But Dr.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Clark was not discouraged. He decided he would just build
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: the house himself. After all, he was a very handy,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: competent guy who had grown up on a farm in
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: New Jersey. And so he knew how to build things.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: And so for the next several months, Dr. Clark would
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: travel from New York City to Dark Entry Forest every weekend,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: and he would build this home. First, he cut down
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: this massive swath of hemlock trees on this one flat
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: patch of his land and And then with all this
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: lumber he had cut down, he built his rustic two-story
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: cabin on this flat part of his land. And then
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: nearby on this hilltop, there was a freshwater spring at
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the top. And so he laid piping from the spring
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: into his cabin so they could have fresh water. And
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: then at the bottom of this nearby hill was this brook.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: And Dr. Clark loved just standing and watching this brook
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: because inside of it were all these trout that would
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: dart all around. And so Dr.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Clark built a swimming pool with beautiful mossy embankments right
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: up against this brook so he could sit there and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: watch the fish. By Thanksgiving of that year, the cabin
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: was done, and so Dr. Clark and his wife Harriet,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: they stayed at the cabin to celebrate the holiday.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: And as they were sitting in their swimming pool watching
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: the trout and listening to the owls hoot off in
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: the distance.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: They both agreed that this second home was like their
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: little piece of heaven. So every summer from there on
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: out and every major holiday that they could manage it,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the Clarks would travel to their home in dark entry
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: forest and.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: They would swim and hike and relax and they'd watch
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: the leaves on the mountainside turn from green to bright
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: yellows and oranges and reds. It was perfect. That is,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: until 1918.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: That summer, the couple was in their second home in
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the forest and when Dr. Clark was suddenly called back
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: to New York to attend to a medical emergency. Harriet
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: was very upset at the prospect of suddenly being left
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: alone in this cabin in the middle of the forest
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: by herself for who knows how many days, and so
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: when she dropped her husband off at the nearby train platform,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: she made him promise that.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: He would come back soon, and he said he would.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: And then Dr.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Clark got on the train, it took off, and Harriet
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: just stood there with her arms crossed, watching it as
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: it chugged along off into the distance. From his comfortable
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: seat on that train, Dr. Clark had no idea that
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: his wife was about to endure a nightmare while.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: He was gone. We've all been there.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Your guests are on their way over to your house
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: for your big New Year's Eve party, and right as
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: they pull into your driveway, you realize you've over-nogged your
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: smoked chicken gallbladder eggnog. And so with minutes to spare,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: you leap out of.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: The window, shattering the glass and cutting yourself up badly,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: and then you jog up to Canada and dive into
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Baffin Bay, and you jump on top of a narwhal,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: and after some intense underwater hand-to-flipper combat.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: You take its horn off its head, and you beat
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: it to death. You tick its horn, and then you
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: swim back to land, and you jog back to your house,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: and you leap in through a different window, shattering the glass.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: And then after you stand up, you make your way
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: into the kitchen, and you whip up a quick.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Narwhal horn iced soup, right as your guests are walking
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: through the front door. Crisis averted, right?
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Wrong. Smoked chicken gallbladder eggnog and narwhal horn iced soup
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: are both just gross, so your party was doomed either way.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: But you know what isn't gross? HelloFresh.

• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, back to the story.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: When the Clarks bought their 1,000 acres in the Dark
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Entry Forest... they did virtually no research on the forest
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: or the surrounding area. If they had, they very likely
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: would not have purchased that land.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: You see, the town that used to be inside of the.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Dark entry forest that was now just ruins that the
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Clarks saw when they first walked around inside of the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: forest was abandoned for a very specific reason.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: It was cursed. At least that's what the locals say.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: And in fact, that was the reason why no builders
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: in the area were willing to go with Dr. Clark
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: into the forest to go build his house because they
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: were too scared to go anywhere near the ruins of
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: this cursed town. This town, which was known as Dudleytown,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: was first settled sometime in the 1740s. At first, it
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: was just a couple of people and a couple of
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: small structures, but pretty quickly, 30 families had moved in
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: and it was a thriving little town. But as the
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: 1700s came to a close, terrible things began to happen
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: to residents.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Of this town.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: First there was the carter family they moved to dudleytown
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: in 1759 and shortly after arriving there six members of
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: their family all died suddenly from cholera the remaining branch
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: of the carter family was so grief stricken from their
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: losses that they left dudleytown and went to new york
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: where they resettled but almost immediately after getting set up
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: there native americans raided their property and massacred them and
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: the three people that survived this massacre were three of
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the kids and and they were all kidnapped and taken away.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: In 1792, a Dudley resident named Hollister died suddenly. Now,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: we don't know if he fell off a roof or
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: if he was murdered.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: No one really knows.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: But what we can agree on is that his untimely
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: death happened in the home of a man named Tanner.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: And Tanner, following Hollister's death, suddenly just began obsessively talking
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: about these strange creatures he was seeing out in the
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: woods at night, kind of roaming around the dark entry forest.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: And he talked about it all the time and nobody
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: listened to him. And eventually Tanner went insane and his
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: daughter had to care for him for the rest of
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: his life. And while Tanner was slowly losing his mind,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: his next-door neighbor named Abel also began reporting that he
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: was seeing weird creatures roaming around the tree line all
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: around the town. And as Abel continued to report seeing
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: these strange creatures lurking in the shadows, he too slowly
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: went mad and had to be cared for until his death.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: In the early 1800s, a famous revolutionary war hero, General
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Herman Swift, who lived in Dudleytown, lost his mind shortly
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: after his wife was struck by lightning. And then, in 1813,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: an unknown epidemic rolled through Dudleytown and killed many of
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: its residents. After that, more and more residents of Dudleytown
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: either died suddenly or died mysteriously. And also, more and
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: more residents began coming forward with stories about having seen
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: these strange, shadowy creatures moving around the tree line at night.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: By about 1900, all the Dudleytown residents had either died
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: or simply just left, abandoning their homes, except for one family,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: the Brophy's. But in quick succession, the Brophy family's sheep
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: all died, then the mother died of tuberculosis, then the
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: two sons were accused of theft in a nearby town,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: and then they just disappeared, leaving one person, John Brophy,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the father. But the Brophy family home burned to the ground,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: And so John, who was overcome with grief, just wandered
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: off into the forest and was never heard from again.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: At that point, Dudleytown officially became a ghost town.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: No one lived there.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: And it was at that point in 1906 when Dr.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Clark and Harriet had their beautiful summer's day walk through
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: the forest and discovered where they wanted to build their
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: second home. So fast forward back to 1918 and Dr. Clark,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: he's on his medical emergency leave to New York. It
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: winds up being very quick. He's back on a train
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: within 36 hours, and he pulls into the station right
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: near Dark Entry Forest.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: And he's expecting to see.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Harriet waiting on the platform for him. But when the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: train rolled into the station, she wasn't there. Now, Dr.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Clark was not a superstitious person, but for some reason,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: when he didn't see his wife there, he just felt
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: like something was off. There's no reason she wouldn't have
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: come out here to greet him. I mean, she was
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: worried about being all alone in the cabin, and she
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: knew he was going to be arriving at that moment.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: And so, feeling a little bit panicked, Dr.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Clark left the train station immediately, and on foot made
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: his way over to the dark entry forest. And when
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: he got there and began walking on that overgrown road
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: path that led to his house, immediately, as soon as
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: he was within the shade of the trees, he began
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: hearing these owls hooting very loudly off in the distance. Now, normally,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the sound of these owls hooting made him feel welcome,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: but this.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Time he felt scared. He felt like something was wrong
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: up ahead.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: And so he began jogging through the forest, and it's
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: very dark, And all he can hear is the sound
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: of these owls and it's getting louder and louder and louder.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: And then finally he reaches the clearing where his property is.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: And at this point, it's a cacophony of.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Owls hooting practically right on top of him.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: And he looks up towards his house up on this
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: hill and he sees the front door is slightly open.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: And so now with his heart racing, wondering what's going
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: on with his wife, Dr. Clark runs up to his
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: front porch. He gets to the door and he flings
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: it open the rest of the way. And then right
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: before he stepped into his house, this sudden high pitched
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: noise began up on the second floor inside of his house.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: And it was so startling to Dr. Clark that he
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: just froze where he was. And so suddenly it's so
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: loud from the owls.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: All around him in the woods behind him.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: And whatever this noise is that he just stood there
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: unsure what to do. And so as he's sitting there
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: getting the courage up to go investigate his house, he
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: realizes what this high-pitched noise is. It's the sound of maniacal,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: insane laughter coming from the second floor. Sensing his wife
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: had to be in danger, the doctor charged up the
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: nearby steps up to the second floor, and he could
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: tell this laughter, this high-pitched laughter, was coming from the
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: master bedroom. And so he ran down the short hallway.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: He got in front of the closed door that led
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: into the master bedroom. He slowly opened it up. And
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: there in the back corner of his room was his wife.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: She was on the ground, rolled up in a ball,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: facing the door. Her hands were clenched and fists. Her
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: eyes were open and unblinking in her mouth. was open
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: wider than was humanly possible. And as he's staring at
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: his wife, wondering what's going on, he realizes this insane high-pitched.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: Laughter is coming from his wife. But it doesn't even
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: look like it's coming out of her. Her chest is
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: just heaving.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Her mouth is staying open and the laughter is just
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: coming out of her. And so the doctor just stood
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: there watching his wife who's staring directly at his eyes.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: And finally, he just got so scared, he turned and
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: he ran. During Dr.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Clark's 36 hours he was away in New York, something
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: happened to his wife.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: We don't know what it was, but it caused her
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: to lose her mind.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: The only thing she would talk about was the strange
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: creatures she saw out in the forest. By some accounts,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Harriet spent the rest of her life in a mental asylum.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: By other accounts, she went back with Dr. Clark to
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: New York, where she took her life. Today, Dudleytown is
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: not only still abandoned... but it is also illegal to visit. However,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: people do still sneak into Dudleytown and walk around the ruins,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: and many of them have reported feeling these pockets of
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: cold air where there shouldn't be cold air, and also
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: some others have said as they've been walking, they've felt
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: phantom hands slap them and push them.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Some have said they've.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Taken photographs inside of the Dark Entry Forest near Dudleytown
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: and they've captured strange, shadowy figures that they couldn't see
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: with their naked eye. The famous paranormal couple, Ed and
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Lorraine Warren, shot a special series in the 1970s inside
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: of the Dark Entry Forest, and they declare the area
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: around Dudleytown was demonically possessed.
• 18:50
