Family’s love of swimming lives on with fund

A SCARY GOOD TIME

Swimming was instrumental to the Manning and Sisson families of Bristol and Plainville, so when they decided to establish a fund at Main Street Community Foundation to honor the memory of Mary M. Sisson along with her parents, Dennis and Anna May Manning, they knew what the purpose would be. In 2021, the Manning/Sisson Memorial Fund was established as a donor advised fund, allowing for grants to be made at the recommendation of the donors.

The YWCA New Britain dance team will perform their “Thriller” routine at the Bucci family home at 62 Metacomet Road on Halloween night, Sunday, Oct. 31, from 5:30 to 9 p.m. The popular Halloween attraction, now in its seventh year, supports the Plainville Food Pantry. There is no admission fee, but attendees are asked to donate a food item.

However, the families have stated that grants will be awarded to organizations with preference for programs that foster the sport of swimming through team competition and skill-building at the municipal See Swimming, A8

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 locations, however, which are known for more than their connection to bygone times. 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 mon-

strous beings lurking in the woods. Here are some Connecticut locations with reported haunted histories:

Dudleytown, Cornwall Situated in an isolated section of Cornwall, Dudleytown is widely considered the most-haunted place in Connecticut.

The Dudley brothers came to the area around 1747 and allegedly brought a curse placed on the family when their ancestor was beheaded by King Henry VIII. Dudleytown was plagued by mysterious deaths, suicides, disappearances and the like. Regardless of whether a curse factored in, the num-

ber of such occurrences was disproportionately high 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 diffiSee State haunts, A3

There’s great importance in municipal elections When Nov. 2 comes around, your vote is going to be about local matters. And that may matter more than all the high-profile election buzz that dominates when big name candidates are spending oodles of dollars delivering their messages.

Yet local elections can make a meaningful, discernable difference in our lives. The people who serve on town councils, school boards, finance board, planning and zoning commissions and other elected offices have a significant impact on what our towns look like, how much it costs to live, what kind of education our kids are getting, how safe we feel, our access to recreation and enrichment, and much more. The Record-Journal and other local media offer exten-

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 or senator, much less have a conversation with them. Even with a state senator or representative, most of us have limited or no contact at all. But if you have a problem in your neighborhood, a question, concern or idea, you can pick up the phone and reach a school board member or the mayor or the chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission. You can go to a meeting and offer your opinion. Local elected officials generally know our concerns. They drive the same roads, pay municipal taxes, and

This is an important election and voters may want to consider whether they want experienced 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.

cult 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. 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.

Saw Mill City Road, Shelton 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. And stories coming out of this area allege people have heard screams, and seen floating orbs and shadowy figures.

Many believe this is one of the country’s most-haunted cemeteries. Even renowned demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren have attested to this. Union Cemetery’s most-famous ghost is the White Lady, an entity people report to have seen, wearing a white gown or wedding dress, who is said to roam the grounds. 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 allege 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. 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.

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 activity 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

GROW YOUR BUSINESS

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,

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. And 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.

COMMUNIT Y COMES THROUGH In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October, the Plainville Police Department is selling $10 domestic violence awareness-themed patches, with the proceeds going to the Prudence Crandall Center in New Britain, “[O]ne of only a few programs in the country offering the full spectrum of shelter, housing and support services needed to offer practical, long-term solutions to the challenges faced by victims, helping them heal and move forward to safe, self-sufficient lives, free of violence.” On Saturday, Oct. 23, Plainville police officers were outside Gnazzo Food Center collecting donations for the shelter. In a Facebook post following the drive, the Plainville PD stated, in part, “Not only did we collect 2 pickup trucks full of food, people donated over $575 in cash and gifts cards. Prudence Crandall said that this was one of their biggest drives ever. Thank you for your support to such a worthy cause.”

PLAINVILLEMatthew “Matt” W. LaBarre, Jr., 59 years young, of Plainville, passed away unexpectedly in the comfort of his home on Sunday, October 17, 2021. Matt was born on January 17, 1962 in New Britain, CT, son to the late Matthew W. LaBarre, Sr. and Pamela (Zigmund) LaBarre. A popular, and life-long resident of Plainville, Matt served as a Plainville Police Officer, retiring after 21 dedicated years of service. After retirement he became a devoted member of the Elks Lodge 957, New Britain, where he served in several roles including Exalted Ruler from 2013 to 2014. He was an avid sports enthusiast and was a passionate fan of the Boston Red Sox, NY Giants, and Rusty Wallace. Matt was a competitive athlete as a child and adult, and had a profound love for baseball and golf. Never without a sarcastic comment and a great smile, there was no shortage of laughter when Matt was present. A movie and music fanatic, he would often quote lines, verbatim, from movies or burst out a song. He lived in the moment, and will be missed immensely by his family and large circle of friends and acquaintances. Matt’s greatest accomplishments were his three baby girls. Surviving their father are, Stephanie Simard and her husband, Cameron, of Plainville, Melissa Gill and her husband,
