In northwestern Connecticut, set in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains, the township of Cornwall offers a settled lifestyle full of outdoor events such as hiking, skiing, and fishing. Titled the “Greenest Town in Connecticut,” it is a very attractive place for people to settle down and experience a small-town lifestyle with a vibrant culture steeped in the arts.

On the outside, it looks like nothing more than a place to go to experience a haven from the bustling city life that the East Coast is known for. But travel not but 4 miles south along Furnace Brook Road, you’ll eventually run into Dark Entry Road. Turn down Dark Entry Road, and you’ll find the ruins of what was previously Dudleytown, reportedly one of the most cursed places in New England, if not the whole country.

This is a fictional story based on real information and real locations. The characters of the story are made up, but the background provided on Dudleytown is based on real stories. So please, turn off the lights, grab a snack, and enjoy the story I’m about to tell.

It’s August of the year 2012. The Obon Festival is happening in Nagoya, the capital of Japan’s Aichi Prefecture. During this time, it is believed that the spirits of relatives who have passed return to visit their living families, guided by lit lanterns so they don’t get lost. Throughout the city, food is left at altars and temples for these spirits to feast and the graveyards are filled with people guiding the spirits of their relatives to their homes in a ritual called mukae-bon.

The city is alive and almost every house is lit up and decorated in order to help guide the spirits…almost every house. There is one house in particular in northwest Nagoya on the street of Aichi Prefectural Road Route 200, that gives any who pays it any attention a sense of being watched.
