No shortage of haunts around Connecticut By Michael Luciano Special to The Citizen

With Halloween around the corner, it’s an appropriate time for delving into Connecticut’s haunted past. Connecticut history goes back five centuries, so nearly anywhere you go in our state, you’ll find somewhere or something with historical significance. There are some loca-

tions, however, which are known for more than their connection to bygone times.

Here are some Connecticut locations with reported haunted histories :

Along with being one of the oldest states in America, many believe Connecticut is also among the country’s most haunted; with tales of ghostly apparitions, centuries-old curses, and monstrous beings lurking in the woods.

North Haven theater gets solar power

ACES unveils state’s first full-size electric school bus

Hartford-based solar energy developer Verogy announced the completion of a rooftop solar energy project at Cinemark North Haven and XD. Cinemark will own the system and use the clean energy it produces to power a meaningful portion of its operations.

Area Cooperative Educational Services has the first full-size electric school bus in Connecticut. The 2021 Blue Bird electricpowered bus was unveiled on Oct. 15 at the ACES transportation headquarters in North Haven.

The 960-module array will produce 434,285 kilowatt hours of Class I renewable energy every year without generating any emissions and will offset the equivalent of 308 metric tons of carbon dioxide -- the amount of greenhouse gas emissions saved by taking about 67 cars off the road each year.

According to a press release, “The electric vehicle (EV) and the associated charging infrastructure was made possible by matching funds awarded to ACES under the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) grant administered by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP).” The Blue Bird electric-powered school bus replaced ACES’ Class V diesel bus, which will be destroyed. The press release states, “To further demonstrate the organization’s commitment to improve air quality and create healthier transportation options for their ACES Whitney Academy students who participate in FOX61 student population, ACES will in- Student News covered the Oct. 15 ribbon-cutting ceremony for See Bus, A2

“Verogy has been an incredible partner throughout this process, operating with exceptional execution from beginning to end,” Art Justice, Cinemark vice president of energy and sustainability, stated. “We are proud to provide our Cinemark North Haven and XD guests with an immersive cinematic experience that is powered by clean, renewable energy, further expanding our portfolio of solar-powered theatres.” “We’re excited to announce the completion of this project and are grateful for the opportunity to work with Cinemark to advance the company’s sustainability goals,” See Theater, A2

Haunts From A1

for a region that — at its peak — was home to only 26 families. The now-abandoned town is presently on private property. Its desertion was largely due to the region’s rocky soil, which made crops difficult to grow. Paranormal investigators

and psychics who have visited Dudleytown claim the area contains negative energy. Others have reported overwhelming feelings of fear, strange lights and sounds –- even being scratched.

Fairfield Hills State Hospital, Newton Fairfield Hills State Hospital opened in 1931 to accommodate the state’s overcrowded mental institutions.

It was one of the largest in New England, and held over 4,000 patients at one point. The hospital had its share of suicides and mysterious deaths, to go along with instances of patient abuse. Fairfield Hills closed down in 1995, and was purchased by the Town of Newton in 2004. The grounds are now home to Fairfield Hills Campus, a municipal complex, but many abandoned buildings still stand.

lege instances of temperature fluctuation and disembodied voices at the cemetery.

Hubbard Park, Meriden Nestled in the Hanging Hills, this 1,800-acre park is known for its Daffodil Festival, Castle Craig, and the Black Dog of West Peak.

Multiple investigators and witnesses claim to have heard disembodied voices and seen apparitions dressed in white, including a girl that some say peers out from a window.

Legend has it this dog roams the park’s wooded hills and will appear out of thin air. According to local lore, seeing the dog once means joy, twice means sorrow, and three times means death. At least six fatalities are allegedly tied to the Black Dog of West Peak.

Saw Mill City Road, Shelton

Ledge Lighthouse, New London

This roughly 1.5-mile stretch of road is considered the most haunted in Connecticut. The most “active” section is said to run parallel to Means Brook Reservoir. Stories coming out of this area allege people have heard screams, and seen floating orbs and shadowy figures.

Built in 1909, the New London Ledge Lighthouse was looked after by keepers until being taken over by the Coast Guard in 1939. It became fully automated in 1987, eliminating the need for someone to stay on site.

Saw Mill City Road is perhaps best known for the Melon Heads. This urban legend describes a group of deformed, inbred beings reportedly lurking in the woods. Melon Head sightings have been reported on Saw Mill City Road for decades.

Union Cemetery, Easton Many believe this is one of the country’s most-haunted cemeteries. Even renowned demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren have attested to this.

R236873v4

Union Cemetery’s most-famous ghost is the White Lady, an entity people report to have seen roaming the grounds. They say she’s wearing a white gown or wedding dress. One account tells of a man who ran into a woman while driving by the cemetery. But when the startled driver stepped out of his car, he found no signs of her. In addition to the White Lady legend, other reports al-

Some who’ve worked at the lighthouse reported doors opening and closing by themselves, unexplained crashes and knocks, and objects moving on their own. The lighthouse is said to be haunted by a tall, bearded man in raingear, believed to be the spirit of a former keeper. The lighthouse was featured on the shows Ghost Hunters and Scariest Places on Earth.

Remington Arms Factory, Bridgeport This munitions factory opened as the Union Metallic Cartridge Company in 1867, before it was purchased by Remington Arms in 1915. It became one of the country’s largest ammunition manufacturers, and employed over 15,000 workers at one point. The factory had extremely unsafe working conditions, and numerous deaths are linked to the facility. The factory was abandoned in 1988, after Remington Arms began relocating its operations. Claims of paranormal activi-

ty at the factory include sightings of shadowy figures, and unexplainable voices and screams. The factory was featured on Ghost Adventures.

Devil’s Hopyard State Park, East Haddam Devil’s Hopyard State Park spans 860 acres, and was the reported site of an 18th-century malthouse (hence the name). According to legend, the Devil himself has been seen sitting atop Chapman Falls playing a fiddle. Also, people claim Devil’s Hopyard State Park is home to other forms of paranormal activity like shadow figures, orbs and strange mist.

Downs Road, Hamden Downs Road connected the towns of Hamden and Bethany until a section was closed. This part of the road has slowly been reclaimed by nature, and is a pretty scenic hiking trail. This stretch is also said to be the site of paranormal activity, and is allegedly haunted by spirits of Native Americans and farmers who lived on the land. Some claim to have seen apparitions of children there, while others say they experienced a strong sense of dread and fear. Also, the area is said to be home to a bigfoot-like creature dubbed the Downs Road Monster.

Sterling Opera House, Derby The Sterling Opera House was built in 1889, and contained a 1,200-seat auditorium. Famous names like Harry Houdini and Amelia Earhart made appearances at the theater, which closed in 1945. The ghost of a boy named Andy is said to be one of the theater’s many spirits. People have alleged hearing children’s voices, and seeing orbs, mist and shadowy figures at the opera house, which also was featured on Ghost Hunters.

NHFD: Smoke alarm may not rouse young family members Chief Paul Januszewski and the North Haven Fire Department would like to inform residents that high-frequency tone smoke alarms are not effective in waking sleeping pre-teens.

search indicated that highfrequency tone alarms awaken only 56 percent of children and prompt 55 percent to “escape” from the bedroom as opposed to female voice, male voice and hybrid voice-tone alarms that awakened 85-to-89 percent of children and prompted 84to-89 percent to “escape.”

a sleeping child’s ability to wake up and escape in response to a variety of smoke alarms vary. Residents should note that there are not currently any smoke alarms manufactured specifically to awaken preteens. As such, residents should ensure that they have a home fire escape plan that accounts for waking up preteens. To ensure your family is properly alerted should a fire occur, smoke alarms should be installed inside each bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement.

On levels without bedrooms, install alarms in a central location or near the stairway to the upper level. For the best protection, interconnect all smoke alarms so that when one smoke alarm sounds they all sound. Residents can also purchase pillow or bed shakers that can be linked to smoke and CO alarms. These work by shaking the pillow or bed when the alarm sounds. Also, the use of a low-frequency alarm can wake a sleeping person with mild to severe hearing loss. The North Haven Fire Department shares the following from the National Fire

You can go to a meeting and Sure, national and statewide elections deserve our attention, but too often local elections get left off the to-do list.

The Record-Journal and other local media offer extensive coverage of campaigns and issues. Getting to know the people who want to lead or manage your town’s business is worth your time. Many of us spend endless hours debating national figures and yet don’t know the names of our town leaders or who’s on the ballot. There is still time to learn about the individuals who are running and what they bring to the table. Some towns have referendum questions on the ballot, too. The vast majority of people will never meet a president

Local elected officials generally know our concerns. They drive the same roads, pay municipal taxes, and have access to the same amenities as the rest of us. When we talk to them about a traffic hazard or ask about repairs to the soccer field, we can talk shorthand. This is an important election and voters may want to consider whether they want ex-

perienced candidates or perhaps an individual who will bring in new thinking. Besides the usual, ongoing concerns of governance, there are contemporary issues, too. Towns are looking at how to handle recent marijuana laws, for instance. Towns and school systems are reviewing policies on diversity and inclusion, bullying, accessibility and transparency. Who will you vote for to best guide these matters?

Now is the time to study the candidates, seek answers and make your decision before going to the polls. (Absentee ballots are an option, too.) Whatever your political leanings, the right, responsibility and privilege of voting to help shape your town’s destiny matters — a lot. — Originally published in the Record-Journal.
