"Connecticut's haunted, abandoned town."
ReplyDeleteDudleyville was closed to the public after The Blair Witch Project came out and 'ghost hunters' were vandalizing the ruins & starting fires.
For a pleasant ghost town visit Bara Hack, aka the Village of Voices, near Abbington Corners outside Pomfret. Its a lovely walk through the woods with picturesque stone foundations & a gorgeous cemetery gate.

I did not know that archaeologists re-bury some of their finds. How do they decide which parts to re-bury? Since there are many exhibits of items excavated, it can't be all of them. And the article on the Saxon girl was fascinating. Why did she emigrate to England? I would love to know her history. And what horses see... It makes sense that it would be quite different than our vision.
