Deep in the forests of Connecticut lies a village lost to time — and to something darker. This is the story of Dudleytown, a place plagued by insanity, disappearances, and whispers of an ancient curse. In this video, we explore the chilling history, the twisted fates of its inhabitants, and the legends that refuse to die.

In 1971, America watched as a real-life exorcism played out on television. What they didn’t see was what came before & after—the terror, the unrelenting presence in their home, the slow decent into madness.

When Edwin and Marsha Becker moved into their Chicago home, they didn’t expect the strange occurrences to escalate into a full-blown haunting. Objects moved on their own, violent outbursts struck without warning, and apparent apparitions of the dead walked its halls. They slowly began to uncover the traumatic history of their home. Desperate and terrified, they turned to a group of mediums… and ultimately, to television.

Broadcast to millions on NBC’s The Tomorrow Show, the televised exorcism shocked audiences and made history. But the haunting didn’t end there. Edwin Becker documented the ordeal in his books True Haunting and True Haunting 2, offering deeper insight into the terrifying events that unfolded behind closed doors.

His chilling account lives on—one of the most disturbing and under-discussed paranormal cases in American history. This is more than just a ghost story. It’s a haunting legacy.

Most UFO stories involve strange lights in the sky, but some cases take a truly bizarre turn. What if I told you there’s a case where aliens handed a man pancakes? Or that a cryptid with bat-like wings might be connected to UFO activity? From the Dade City Flowers case to the strange Space Penguins of Tuscumbia, these stories push the limits of what we think we know about UFOs and extraterrestrials. Buckle up—this is UFO history at its strangest.
