Welcome To The Oddity Shop, Where The Bizarre is Always on Sale. This week, your curator Kara has a curse for you, or does she??
Get ready as we unravel the dark and fascinating history of the Dudley family, whose tale is shrouded in a supposed curse dating back to the 15th century. From the British family's legacy across the Atlantic to Dudleytown, Connecticut, we piece together a gripping narrative of plague, misfortune, and otherworldly legends.
We then turn our attention to the haunted allure of Dudleytown, a seemingly cursed ghost town steeped in unsettling tales of madness and mystery. From the unexplained demise of Gershon Hollister to the chilling descent into madness suffered by William Tanner, the strange happenings in this abandoned settlement ignite curiosity and fear. Even the famed paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren couldn't resist its eerie charm. Despite efforts to dispel the myths surrounding Dudleytown, it remains a compelling chapter in the annals of American ghost stories.
We wrap up with plans to perhaps visit this enigmatic locale, all while sharing a light-hearted moment involving Otter, the adorable, otter-sounding deaf cat.
