A forest so EVIL, it's ILLEGAL to enter...

Happy Birthday to my main man John Garlock (@johnnny11 on IG)!!! Also, shout out to his wonderful daughter Ellie (@ellie.garlock on IG) and her boyfriend Nick (@_nick_dun_ on IG) as well as John's wife, Jenny (@garlock610 on IG). Have a great day celebrating!

The fact that this guy went out by himself, cut down trees and built a 2 story cabin is just incredible

Owls hooting during the day, an abandoned town, and locals flat out refusing to go near the area; the warning signs were all there plain as day.

My brother decided he just HAD to check out Dudleytown after he had heard all the stories about it! This was back in the 1980’s. He saw the foundations and said the place just had an eerie feeling to it. He talked about the weirdest thing being the absolute quiet…no bird sounds,no animal activity…nothing! Scary!!

Dude just built a two story house in the middle of a forest on the weekends on his days off from being a SURGEON. What a fucking CHAD

Everyone is tough until the strange, dark and mysterious gets going

Less than 5 minutes into the video and I already wanna do the thing Mr. Ballen tells us not to do

My bf and i watch this channel every night. Its become a routine after work. Everything about these vids just takes me back to being a kid and watching spooky stories.

For anyone thinking about going… please don’t. state police regularly patrol the area due to how many hikers/ idiots go missing in the area trying to get to Dudleytown and will arrest those trying to get in. The thick woods makes it hard for rescue teams to find lost people/ rescue them via helicopter. Locals really, really don’t like it when people try to go to dudleytown, and will call the staties on you. I’ve tried visiting the ruins with my brother at night… the only way I can describe it, is someone or something is always watching you from a distance from all around just out of flashlight distance but close enough. I know about the actual reason why people were dying due to mercury poisoning in the land/water/crops and food. But their is something more than just mercury out there. Please for your safety DO NOT GO!!

I’ve been to Dudley town. Before it was illegal…I can tell you a story. We parked loaded new batteries into the flashlights and just started hiking. The owls are a real thing you can hear them even during the day. The cold spots did happen, the strangest thing was when the wind just stopped so nothing was blowing but this one branch sticking up from the ground was violently shaking every one there pointed there flashlights at it and just watched it happen… then we started heading out and on our way back to where we parked. All the flashlights decided to go out and this is before cell phones were a thing.. we literally bought the batteries and flashlights that day. We had to use our lighters like crazy people flicking away back to the cars.

Thanks for the high-pitched, maniacal laughter and the fitting image, Mr. Ballen. That's definitely going to help me sleep tonight.

I used to live in CT. I always wanted to go and see it for myself. One night friends of mine went without me. All I know from the story I got from them is that no sound could be heard. Orb like lights by trees. And something scared them so bad they went running out only to get picked up by state police by there cars.

I've read about the supposed origin of Dudleytown from a ghost book. According to the book, the town was named for Guilford Dudley, husband of Lady Jane Grey, the "Nine Day Queen" of England. That's why the town was 'cursed'. That and there was only way in and out. At the time of the printing of the book, "the only humans who went there were practicing witches".

I love the 'not a real photo of the deer' 😂😂

I am an absolute chicken and easily startled but I just have this fascination with scary stories. I love that you don't include jumpscares and your voice is just so calming. I also have photosensitive epilepsy and really appreciate that you don't use many flashing lights like a lot of horror channels do. Thank you so much.

This is the episode I've been looking for. When he talks about Harriet and her mouth is open and maniacal laughter is coming out that definitely freaked me out!!

Why am I watching this home alone?! 😬 Just found this channel. You’re a fantastic story teller. 😊

This is probably the oddest thing I have ever heard. I won’t be peeking in that forest. Happy New Year, Jon and listeners.

My uncle and I went to Dudleytown back in 1995. We didn’t see anything, but we noticed there were no animals or animal noises in the woods as we walked around. It was eerily quiet and that creeped us out. We left after about 30 minutes.

I feel so bad for his wife , broke my heart a little, may she have a peaceful life in heaven.
