I don't think they allow people in here any more.
"Dudleyville, CT. You can look this place up on Google. It was a town in CT which was founded in the 1700's and had very bad luck. Suicides, desiese and many odd accidents. Eventually, the town was destroyed and all that's left is foundations in the ground surrounded by woods. It's known as a "dead zone" since the amount of birds and wildlife there is oddly sparse. There has also been many reports of people having their car battery die when there. It's not easy to find, and most people in the area really don't want people going up there. We had to stop for directions, and people acted like they didn't know what we were talking about (we ended up being 3 miles from it). We went during the day, so it wasn't overly spooky. But, there surely was a lack of life. I don't recall seeing or hearing any birds, squirrels, crickets.. anything. And it's in the woods, where you should see/hear these things. We found some foundations, which as pretty cool. I can't say we had any abnormal experiences, but the place really does have an odd feeling about it. I do recall feeling like the woods were looking at you, if that makes sense. It was just very still, and stale in there. I wouldn't go there at night. You can look up ghost photos and info about the area." - taken from blog.kevinmeltzer.com/archives/001199.html

"CONNECTICUT
Haunted Place: Cornwall
Location: Dudleyville
Directions: Dudleyville is in Litchfield County; northwestern Connecticut, which is now a private nature preserve overlooking the Housatonic River on Coltsfoot Mountain. U.S. Highway 7 to Cornwall Bridge and go east 2 miles toward Cornwall. Next, take Dark Entry Road from Cornwall past Witch’s Dam Road.
Story: This abandoned settlement was first inhabited in 1738 by the William Dudley family. Conditions for farming proved exceedingly harsh for conventional corps. The production of charcoal from pine trees turned out to be the only profitable industry in Dudleyville. But, even charcoal only lasted a few decades due to the poor farming conditions. Residents of the settlement were looked at with great suspicion due to odd occurrences of accidents, suicide, and insanity. The people of Dudleyville in turn gained a reputation for being cursed and other residents refused to live there. Even today sensitive individuals still feel some mysterious forces at work there and modern day witches' hold annual ceremonies there. The area is considered a dead zone where birds and other animals rarely dare to tread. Recently, a film producer along with a group of friends encountered a black shape rising out of an old stone foundation. The group experienced trouble in their breathing, as they got closer to the structure as if the life force was being sucked out of them. The abandoned Dudleyville settlement is today considered one of the most haunted places, located in the United States." - taken from
