Hello everyone, this will be the last episode we release on a Sunday until we return week commencing 14th August 2023!

There Charon stands, who rules the dreary coast –

A sordid god: down from his hairy chin

A length of beard descends, uncombed, unclean;

His eyes, like hollow furnaces on fire;

A girdle, foul with grease, binds his obscene attire

Virgil, Aeneid 6.298–301, as translated by John Dryden.

In Greek mythology, Charon, also known as the Ferryman of Hades, holds a prominent place as the guardian and transporter of the souls of the deceased across the river Styx. This legendary figure plays a crucial role in the afterlife beliefs of the ancient Greeks, offering a fascinating glimpse into their mythology and understanding of death.

According to myth, the river Styx formed the boundary between the mortal realm and the underworld, where the souls of the dead resided. To reach the realm of Hades, the god of the underworld, one had to cross the river Styx. This is where Charon came into play. He was tasked with ferrying the souls of the deceased across the river, allowing them to enter the realm of the dead.

Growing up I always loved movies and shows regarding the paranormal. Ghost movies really are the only form of horror I ever found scary as I've always believed there was something real to the idea of hauntings. Feeling this way I've always been so curious to have my own paranormal experience to truly judge for myself.

After hurricane Katrina my family and I were left refugees with no home. My brother was a little older and went back to New Orleans to stay with my godparents and work. My parents took jobs as traveling health care workers. I was approximately 16 or 17 at the time. My mother took an assignment working for a nursing home in north Tennessee on the Tennessee-Kentucky border. Her travel company put her up in a rental cabin in the woods and her and I and her 2 dogs went to stay.

This story follows my encounter over a period of years with the paranormal. I have always been a believer in the after life, but also a skeptic. I always knew something was there, trying to communicate with the living...but I didn't know what...until Zozo. Also, I must add that this is a somewhat recent event...it all took place late September early October.

Now, to start this off, I have to add that my family has always been fascinated with the paranormal. When I was younger my family would always sit down together and watch shows such as Ghost Hunters and Ghost adventurers. We found the evidence they captures fascinating...and wanted to find out on our own if any of it were true.

Zozo, a formidable and renowned entity of the supernatural realm, holds a prominent position amongst the pantheon of demonic beings. Its infamous presence extends across various mediums, from gripping reality television shows to captivating works of literature. Zozo's name regularly surfaces in accounts detailing unexplained phenomena and eerie hauntings, solidifying its reputation as a malevolent force lurking within the shadows.

The true faces of Zozo remain shrouded in mystery, leaving us clueless about the nature of this mysterious entity but those unfortunate souls who have encountered him have told of bone-chilling tales of terror. Often summoned through the Ouija board, Zozo manifests as a formidable force of darkness, capable of inflicting profound physical and psychological damage upon its victims.

Known to adopt aliases like ZoZo, Zaza, Zo, or Pazuzu, this being has traversed the realms for centuries, spreading fear and havoc in its wake.

Late on a school night, around 9pm, the road was saturated in a dense white fog. But the moonlight managed to pierce through, casting an eerie glow. Inside my red CRV, I had Allie and Jonah with me. Jonah had never heard of the infamous Dudleytown, so Allie and I decided to take him there and show him what all the fuss was about.

Deep in the remote hills of Northwest Connecticut lay an abandoned town known as Dudleytown. It had gained a reputation for being cursed, isolated from the rest of society. Early settlers in the 17th century had established their homes on this vast stretch of land. Unfortunately, tragedy struck when all the children in town died under mysterious circumstances. This led to a mass exodus, leaving behind empty houses and deserted farms.

Now, Dudleytown stood as an overgrown hill, casting its long shadow on the valley. It was protected by the enigmatic Dark Woods Society.

As we ascended the hill in my car, I leaned back, pressing the pedal firmly due to the steep incline. The road soon transitioned into a rugged path, with rocks flying up in our wake. Finally reaching the top, I switched off my headlights and parked the car beside a bush.

Nestled deep within the remote corners of northwestern Connecticut, concealed by towering mountains and obscured by the relentless passage of time, lies a forgotten hamlet known as Dudleytown. Once teeming with life and vitality, the echoes of this vibrant community have long faded, leaving behind a haunting emptiness. But within the dense forest and jagged rocks, whispers of spectral apparitions, malevolent entities, ancient curses, and a story that even predates the very essence of America lingers.

In the present day, mere remnants of cellar holes and weathered stone foundations stubbornly endure. The once bustling roads that meandered towards this town have dwindled into frail footpaths, reserved only for the intrepid few who dare to venture further - be it the adventurous souls seeking solace in nature's embrace or the occasional seeker of the supernatural. Despite the ominous warning, the inquisitive still summon the courage to tread upon Dark Entry Road, daring to penetrate the enshrouded woods under the cloak of night. As the 19th century dawned, the forsaken streets of Dudleytown lay abandoned, their dark reputation spreading like wildfire, earning the ominous title of America's Village of the Damned.

Bloody Mary - This phrase was taught to me in the 1st grade by a couple of my idiot classmates. To a six year old boy, almost everything really, terrified me. These two acquaintances of mine informed me, in graphic detail, about the legend of Bloody Mary.

“Here’s what you gotta do,” they said, “When you’re home alone after midnight; lock all the doors; turn off all the lights in the house. Go into your room. Turn off that light when you get in there. After the light is off, say ‘Bloody Mary’ three times.”

Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary…
