Why it's Creepy
Often cited as a "dark vortex", rumor has it that any visitor that steals an artifact from Dudleytown will have a curse put on them and their family. Dudlytown forest visitors report seeing just about every kind of paranormal phenomena you could think of: People describe an unnerving lack of wildlife in the area as well as floating orbs of light and sinister "wolf-like" black shadows, murmurs and disembodied voices, as well as a feeling of general dread. Add on the fact that there's a mysterious group called " the Dark Forest Association" that polices the grounds with militant force and you've got yourself a serious case of the what the hell is really going on here?
Where it Came From
The curse of the ill-fated Dudleys began back in jolly ol' England, where Edmund Dudley was beheaded for conspiring against King Henry VII. This treacherous act apparently unleashed a curse on the rest of the Dudley clan, which emigrated from Guilford, England to Cornwall, Connecticut in 1748. They helped establish a community centered around the town's then-thriving iron industry before a series of untimely disasters befell the family. these calamities included a series of mysterious deaths which, in turn, inspired madness and suicide among the Dudleys, several of whom disappeared into the woods never to be seen again. The remaining residents very sensibly ditched the town, which has been abandoned ever since. -- Janelle Albukhari
