Bara-Hack, Pomfret
The Damned Story: The sparsely populated Northeastern region of Connecticut has long been called the Quiet Corner. But whoever named it may not have ever been to the abandoned settlement of Bara-Hack.
According to local history, a pair of Welsh families first settled Bara-Hack in 1780; and although the name is odd, considering what some towns are called in Wales, it could’ve been called Barrffynng-Hheaggnnogg or something equally appealing. By 1890 the settlement was history as the last residents left, and as is wont to happen, the surrounding forest slowly took the land back . . . allegedly though, it forgot some of the noise.
Modern visitors to Bara-Hack can see the interesting remnants of old foundations and walls as well as a cemetery — the damned part starts when they start hearing the sounds of the long-gone settlement! Everything from the noises of children playing and people singing to the sounds of livestock and the rumble of wagon wheels have been said to have been heard.
Over the years, various investigators have recorded the sounds, while others have also claimed to have seen the ghost of a bearded man and the spirit of a young child.
Bara-Hack may be gone, but clearly, it doesn’t want to be forgotten.
Our Damned Experience: We have never been to Bara-Hack and back.
If You Go: Bara-Hack is on clearly marked private property (“No Trespassing” signs abound), is very closely watched and you need permission from the land’s owner to visit.
In 2000 we were encouraged to go here for extra credit for a high school class (can’t remember which class, sociology perhaps), so a group of us finally found it and explored a while. We didn’t encounter any noises but took several pictures, upon getting them printed they had many bright spots and specks. From what we could tell it wasn’t a problem with the lenses and we certainly didn’t see them in person.
We weren’t aware of any trespassing problems at the time, I don’t think it was marked. It was interesting, though.
Me an a few of my friends we are planing on a trip to Barra Hack because we are trying to start our own profesional ghost hunters society and we where wondering if you have any information on how to contact the ownere to get permission on to the . Want to do the right thing an not to offend or anger any one. If there is any help you can share that would be very helpful. thank you
Hey Patrick, I will check with Ray for you.

Hello,
My sister and I have been going to so called “haunted” places to check it out for ourselves. I would greatly appreciate if someone could give us the information to contact the owner of Bara-hack so we may explore. Thank you
I have been looking for a contact for Bara-Hack, but have not come up with one yet. I will keep looking and asking around …
thanks ray for all your help, i been looking around to but have come up empty handed as well
I’ve been there once with a group that had permission…I don’t know who the owner is and I am desperately looking for them as well so I can go back!
Tania, your boss is very, very wrong about the owners not making an effort to keep people out. It is posted quite well and watched very closely. It is NOT okay for anyone to be there without permission from the land owners. Anyone caught on the property will be arrested for trespassing.
I am a friend of the Townshend family. “eyes and ears” is correct. The family has had much trouble with “ghost hunters” illegally stealing artifacts, vandalizing the site, camping to photograph spirits etc.
One needs a permission card from the family to park by the access road. Otherwise, neighbors will call the police to complain. The author and her husband are now justifiably wary and “did not want any more publicity for crazed ghost hunters” to try to find the address and exploit the site. They have told me that they want to keep everything PRIVATE now. There is extra police surveilance before Halloween…Please respect the landowners wishes.
Thank you, Family Friend!
Funny how you didn’t even remember what site you were on! And now look, a new post. Problems??? You can’t even begin to imagine. Thanks!
Some post were removed from this forum.
We would like to reiterate- This site is located on private property, the owners will call the cops as will the neighbors. Please have respect for the history of this site and leave it be.
Thanks
Steve

i had a very strange experience there, iwas there at night with myfriend walking around and i heard footsteps behind us we stopped and the footsteps continued. then in the cemetary we could hear people talking very close. it was freeky
LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT. THIS LAND IS JUST LAND, RIGHT. NO HOUSE? NO PEOPLE ALIVE THERE TO BE BOTHERED? AND PEOPLE ACTUALLY THINK THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO TELL OTHERS NOT TO WALK ON THEIR LAND????????WALK?? AND LOOK??
SCREW THEM AND ANYONE WHO THINKS THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO TELL PEOPLE WHERE TO GO. I COULD UNDERSTAND IF THEY ACTUALLY LIVED THERE. THATS A DIFFERENT STORY ENTIRELY. BUT THEY KEEP PEOPLE OUT JUST BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY CAN????
ARREST THE VANDELS. LEAVE THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LOOK ALONE. OHHHHHH, THEY ACTUALLY HAD THE GUTS TO CAMP AND TAKE PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHAT SCUM!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, Nick, we do live here. I am sorry you believe yourself to be above the law. And property owners actually do have the right to tell people that they cannot trespass. There is also this little thing called respect. You should try it sometime.
I guess Nick is a member of the “we are entitled to everything” generation. Sad that peoples idea of right and wrong has deteriorated to this point.
I’ve been to bara-hacks several times years ago. Many times I saw nothing but I saw the figure of a child the last time I went. Its too bad the owners dont want people to be on the property its a very interesting environment but I do agree that their property should be respected.
me and a few friends went to bara hack it was one of the creepiest expieriences of my life we took pics and vidio of unexplained noises and orbs . we never asked 4 permission and were not bothered NITE TIME!!! if u need directions contact me via email… as long as people dont touch anything or creat distubsnces every one should be able to expierience this place…
[...] Bara-Hack, Pomfret – A former 18th-century settlement where all sorts of odd sounds, disembodied voices and [...]
How do you even get there, and how do I contact the appropriated people to conduct a search on the premises?
Let me ask this question to all who feel it is their right to trespass here….Can I have your address so I can go through your yard whenever I feel like it, day or night, without permission? May take pictures, start fires, and leave all my garbage there? Sometimes, you will not even see or hear me, or even know I was there until you go outside and and see the damage I have done and have to clean up after me. I am willing to bet you wouldn’t like this at all and you might even call the police.
If you want to go there, do some research that has nothing to do with how “spooky” it is, find the owners, and give them a call. There is more on the internet than ghost stories, you just need to look.
Oh, and one more thing, we do check at night and are in the company of the state police.
eyes and ears…I totally understand how you feel, being a landowner myself and having a large parcel also. We have problems all the time. People have even pulled down our NO TRESPASSING signs. A couple years back a worker here was almost hit by a bullet from a hunter who was on the property illegally and thought the worker was a deer. I have always been interested in the paranormal but only heard about Bara-Hack today from a friend. There is quite a bit of interesting bits and pieces about it online and I’m content to learn of it’s history that way. It’s very scary to read what some of these people have posted. Thank Goodness for the State and Local Police who help protect our PROPERTY RIGHTS!
Maybe if people were nice and helped the owners clean up the garbage of the people who weren’t so nice, and maybe if they asked permission it might help?
Now isn’t this place fairly close to some sort of scout camp or something? I remember checking the area out with satellite view on my computer, from directions given me by a friend.
For any of you people who are all worked up about property rights and trespassing, you should have the common sense to not live in places that are thought to be haunted.
PS — I don’t see a story about the old church in Brooklyn.
Would eyes and ears happen to be Jackie..?
Its really too bad that immature and greedy people have to ruin it for anyone else. The owners of this property are preserving local history by not allow people to run wild on their property.
This family is one of the most generous familes and for many years allowed people to enjoy this amazingly beautiful place.
In recent years people have been littering, knocking over headstones and actually organizing group tours charging people to come on this property in packs. “We are not all worked up” about trespassing we are all worked up over the people ruining this land. Its called PRESERVATION!!!! This land is special for its beauty and rich history. Gee maybe we should all go to Yellowstone and have bonfires and keg parties, leave all the crap behind. How do you think that would go???
And when your ready to spend your millions on “just land” let us know so we can come there and wreck it! Have a great day!!
I am a little confused, Are the land owners still allowing people to explore this land but only with permission, or now are the landowners not allowing anyone at all on the property? I like to do some research as a hobby on interesting properties such as this. I have always asked permission, I have always been granted access by the land owners where ever I explore. I think the land owners always seem to be optimistic when someone actually takes the time to look them up and ask before entering they’re land. I also am having trouble with the “Dudley Town” I think the town of Cornwall owns the land.
I have been going there since 89 and had a lot of issues with that place…I saw and heard things that would make a grown man cry…
So much controversy on such an interesting topic. We all must respect the owners of the land. Period. No discussion. What would be incredible is if the rich history of this land could be shared with all of us who call CT home and are equally proud of its history while perhaps using proceeds from paid admissions to maintain it, build a museum, give back to the community in some way (like trail of Terror in Wallingford). just random thoughts!
my family were some of the last, if not the last, people to live in Bara-hack. we go there a few times a year WITH PERMISSION from the owners. I’m doing my final project for school on Bara-hack
I recently got married in the town of beautiful town of Promfret.The day after the wedding we thought it would be neat to explore Bara Hack.I had never heard of it before but my cousin had done a little research.We noticed the signs and took a drive around to see if any of the neighboring houses belonged to the owners.We did find a couple that were wonderful.(Not sure if they were the official owners)They gave us directions and advised us as where to park.It was beautiful.The stone walls and foundations were magnificent.We didnt experience anything until the final hr we were there.My cousin swears he heard the wheels of a baby carriage squeaking.I honestly heard a woman singing.That night,in my own bed,I felt like someone was entering my body.Then I saw the forest of Bara Hack without even closing my eyes.It was like I was there again.Havent slept much since.I dont think of myself as crazy or really even into these things.But Im sure interested now.Strange..Please respct the owners.I wouldnt want anyone to vandalize my property either.
I’ve been there many times and didn’t hear or see a thing. UNTIL my friend and I brought a camera. SO MANY orbs, ecto-plasm, balls of energy… I am so certain something is going on there. We took the pics with a disposable camera. After getting that developed and seeing what was on there, we went back a week later with a new disposable camera and got the same results. Freaky. I live in Phoenix now and miss going there. I never got permission to go there but always respected the place.
In late November of last year, we were at Bara Hack with paranormal author Thomas D’Agostino, with written permission to enter. What a fabulous area. My group is not out to ruin anything, just to photograph for documentation. We enjoy and love the history of all places such as this. We are hoping to go back soon, once the snow clears. Like previously mentioned, please respect the people that live in this area and also those who have passed on in this area.
How can I get in contact with the land owners?
is roach from wethersfield ct?
to anyone that keeps tresspassing on someone elses land i agree….give me your address and i will be at your door demanding to see your property cause i heard strange things going on at your place….if you want to keep going back there and disturbing the people past and present there will be consequences for your actions….i have been there and saw what has happened there in the past and realize thatd its not a place to be alone…..nothing there is gonna harm you but they would like to be left alone….my brother had an accident there at the grave yard of silence that the little girl was present at….she had nothing more than a smile that she had company but was unhappy that someone was tresspassing at her home…..just leave the people alone and let them do with their land what they want….
No I am not from Wethersfield..Do you know any Roaches up there?
I too love history in general.
So I like would to tell the general popullation a story on the respect of a land owner. I have had permission to hunt on a piece of land for many years. One summer I was walking with a garbag bag through the 82 acre property to check where I would hunt for the winter and pick up any litter (beer cans and all types of plastics etc.) when a lady I didn’t know asked me what I was doing; I explained. She said the previous owner sold the property to her. I said ok, if you don’t mind, I would like to come back and remove some wet heavy garbage I hung on a branch to dry out…she said ok.
A week later I was out cleaning up the garbage and as I was bringing it back to my truck, the lady approached me. She said thank you and I have to confess something; I did not think you would come back. I said, I am a man of my word. She said, I do not care for hunting; but if you would like, I will give you permission to hike here. I said thank you.
Sadly the lady passed away a few years ago. I am glad I gave her some hope in mankind. So to the general popullation, greed of wanting more just because YOU WANT IT, does not make you a nice person. Try asking for less and except the answer either way…maybe you might get more than you are asking.
Fitz you are a god among man!
taft pond road pomfret orange gate . keep it real in ne ct, smoking dutches out there at night and ….. also eyes and ears, i’m glad your ok wiht hoarding such an amazing artifact, it speaks volumes for your character, as a resident of ct in a very scenic portion of woodstock, almsot more so than bara hack i often have people in my back yard, and mos tof the time im very friendly with them, unless theyre hunting an endargering my dog, we live in the most beautiful portion of the country its out resposibilty to share.
Oh, and i also am very proud of you for assisting the huge …… faction we have here in the quite corner known as troop d, they are literally the worst collection of wannabe fbi ……. in the land, so your giving them ample oppertunity to arrest and detain people because they are walking through the woods? you truly are one of the examples of the reason northeast ct sucks. you and oxycontin. you both suck.
If you respect the area people will never know you were there. Be silent and stay out of site. Pigs have poor eye site.
Dear sweet “matt m”, it’s not about hoarding and how much I suck, it’s about respect for the owners and obtaining permission.
Just went there tonight, but got there too late! didnt have permission ..opps!
Im confused. If they want everyone to get permission first then why is it so difficult to find the information to contact them. I would really like to go about doing this right but i have no way of finding the owners.
I went here twice as a child, with permission. Once as part of a school group and once with an adult group…maybe the historical society. I saw nothing unusual. I love old foundations and cemeteries, though, so it was a lot of fun!
We went to bara hack a few years ago. It’s a neat little place, but when you notice it is directly next to a 4H camp; you realize that could be where the sounds of children playing and horses are coming from…just food for thought…
Does anyone know who to as for permission? yes Troop D is a dumping ground for bad cops! i cant stand their own version of law and order! too bad cause that is a beautiful part of ct! scary that the cops have their own brand of justice and demand respect when they give none!!!!!! Troop D sux!!
I have been told that a photo that I was given many years ago, of what I personally view as a haunted cemetery may be a photo of the area that is discussed in this thread. I lost track of the person that took the photograph and subsequently gave me the photo many years ago and I have not recalled his name. However, I was told by someone that commented on my site that the name of the person who took the photo is Doug Daunis. (I hae no idea if this information is correct at this juncture). I also do have a second photo of his son on the page with the photo of the cemetery. According to the photographer of the photo his son’s leg had been broken my a grave stone in the cemetery. The name of his son is James. I find it interesting that a person named Amie Daunis (who commented on this board) claims that her brother was injured here?? Is this the same person in my photo I wonder that she is referring to? In my most humble opinion the photo that was given to me is extremely spooky and in fact, it is the spookiest photo I have ever seen. I have found a lot more in the photo then the photographer did when he passed it along to me. The photo is here if anyone is interested: http://www.flickr.com/photos/skyelyte/4133727483/ Note: I have not confirmed the location of where this photo was taken since I only was just told that someone may know who the photographer of the shot is and I lost track of him years ago. So I simply don’t recall where he told me it was taken, other then he said it was a pretty lengthy walk though the woods to reach a cemetery in Enfield CT. It would be pretty neat to someday find out who did in fact give me the photo as it turned out I traded a video that I had taken of a rumored haunted cemetery and the last photos of my father in law alive were on the tape I gave to him.. in any event, likely ever seeing the tape that I shot again, is extremely low, but again it would be cool to get back in touch with the guy who took the photo that I have..
Dear Eyes and Ears I totally agree with you about respecting others property. I teach a summer class at a MA boarding school called “Curious New England” and have told my classes about Bara Hack but have never attempted to go there because of the no trespassing policy. If we could have permission from the owners to take a group of 10 students and 2 adults into that area that would be interesting for both students and staff. We are taking a field trip to other CT sites and that area next Tuesday 7/12. We don’t litter and treat people and property with respect. Sincerely Neil
Neil and others….If you are truly interested in going to Bara Hack with permission, please get in contact with me. I have written permission and have now been there twice. I’m planning a trip, taking another group with mine. I’ll take anyone there as long as I have some advance notice. You can reach me via my email at caserequest@newenglandspiritualteam.com. Also, you can find us on Facebook, by searching our group and/or organization name New England Spiritual Team. Hope to hear from you soon and enjoy the day!

I visited the cemetary and the surrounding property back around 1971 with a teen organization called Acadians that was led by Paul Eno who was a Seminary student in Bloomfield. I remember we spoke to a very old man with a long beard who lived alone in some kind of one room shack in Pomfret. He may have owned the property at the time and we may have been getting permission from him to walk the property. I don’t recall seeing anything unusual except that there were no birds or live vegetation within the cemetary walls. We took polaroid pictures near grave stones and by the wall. After the photos were developed we noticed small transparent orbs in the background. I also recall the father of one of my friends breaking down on the path on the way to the cemetary. He was a grown man in his 40′s and he broke down and cried like a baby each time he tried to get past a certain point. He stayed behind and the rest of us visited the cemetary that day. I will always remember that experience because it was the strangest experience I ever had involving the paranormal.
I have extensively documented the area and the three video segment is up on my youtube channel. First part can be viewed here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjCGQdUV4gU
I have written permission from the owner of the property herself and can offer assistance to those interested.
Hey everyone. While I don’t mind taking interested people to Bara Hack with my group, I will not give out directions to the location nor will I give out any contact information. I will not be responsible for you coming here on your own and damaging anything, if that occurs. Also, if you are truly interested in coming, we will be up there on Sept 24th. We will be meeting up in Putnam, CT around 3-330pm. By the way, I’m not taking all whom want to go. I already have quite a few people but cancellations do occur from time to time. Thanks!
Bara Hack is private property. Permission is required to enter the grounds. I am in contact with the owners of the property and will alert them of this visit, Michael. If you have permission, then you should not worry. If not, then I am certain the family will have have someone there to watch the property.
Erik: I know Bara Hack is on private property. I’m not one of these teens out for a thrill. I have a paranormal group, of which holds alot of respect in this field. We’ve been featured in newspapers, books, and local TV shows so we are not amatuers in this field. We have been to Bara Hack quite a few times and better yet, we have permission. We were even escorted out there our first time by an author in the field, whom also has permission. I respect your desire to help weed out trouble and such but rest assured, we are perfectly fine.
I am not here to play mall cop. If you have permission, then so be it. I have contacted representatives of the owners who will, in turn, be in touch with them. If you check out, then you should have no trouble with your visit. I am not familiar with your group, but private property is private property, no matter how many TV shows, books, or newspapers you have contributed to. I have forwarded links of your group to the reps.
I do take issue with any paranormal group soliciting individuals who do not have permission to enter the grounds to join them on an ‘investigation’. In fact, this could be a significant issue with the owners who I have been told do not want this land opened up for this purpose. They have, in the past, used the land for local schools to investigate the history of their town and the way people lived back in the early 1800s. Your post suggests a ghost hunting tour of the land: I’d be willing to wager that they are not happy with that.
Michael,
As per the owner of the property, you are NOT permitted to be on, nor giving tours of the property. You and anyone with you on the property WILL be arrested for trespassing.
Mr. Carroll,
I am the owner of bara-hack and I’m adding a note to the caretakers message: I have NOT given any form of permission to you or for you to take any groups of people onto to my property at any time. If you do so, you will be arrested and charges will be pressed. Plain and simple.
i am the sasquatch that lives in the woods..i will eat all treaspassors..mmm people the other white meat
And I am one of the ghosts who haunts Bara-Hack, and I agree with Mr. Sasquatch. Come into our woods and we’ll haunt you forever.
I am Erik Kubic… Mall Cop… I am trying to stop fun. Subsequent posts by “owner of bara hack” are just me again trying to be tough. I will not arrest you if you come. Just show up at night kiddos and there’s no issues with going in.
Mr. Kubik,
You are incorrect. I am the owner of bara-hack and all people MUST have written permision on them and signed by me or the police will be called.
@owner, please take notice that “Erik Kubik Mall Cop” is someone posting sarcastically while using my name. I only say this b/c you addressed this person as Mr. Kubik. My name is always clickable.
Mr. Kubik and all,
Just remember THE DEAD NEVER SLEEP! Just try me.
I am a former resident of the quiet corner and am very interested in taking my son to see bara hack. Anyone with info on how to go about doing this legally would be greatly appreciated..
you can find me on facebook
Mr. Klimas,
You might be able to contact the 4H camp and see when they will be going. Permission is only granted to certain groups.
Hey Kevin,
It’s Hoppy, if you get permission to get on the land let me know. I have been wanting to go there for years!!! I am not on face book but you can email me at bosocs@gmail.com
No permission will be given to individuals.
I have lived next to Bara Hack for more then 30 yrs. AND IN REGULAR CONTACT WITH THE CARE TAKER and i have and will continue to notify them of strange activity as i can even hear people talking in the woods because of the way the sound travels.I have had people stop in my driveway asking for directions to get back to their car ,sometimes i tell them the wrong way just because they said they didnt have permission to go back there.This is not a State Park.Leave Bara Hack and its neighbors alone.
Once again i return to say to the owners of bara hack; [edit] just because you have a certain foundation series in your back yard does not mean you should be able to keep that to yourself, it would be like my associates over on wolf den road saying “no you need permisssion to go in the park”, it’s a very selfish act, it displeases me to see you hog such a rare artifact, and claim your reasoning as “how would you like somebody walking through your woods?” well guess what?! today i did catch somebody walking through my woods to photograph my old foundation! and you know what i didnt do?! call the piggys! instead i asked to see his photos and made him smoke a bowl with me! what a concept! the very fact you threaten troop d on people makes me sad, and also lets me have a vague understanding that ct is a place for jerks.
ive lived here 24 years, and it gets worse every year
Hi,
I’m an art photographer who specializes in historic cemeteries. I love to photograph them both from an artists perspective as well as a preservation perspective. When I hear about a particularly old cemetery I try to get in and document it before vandals/nature/time completely destroy it. Unfortunately on numerous occasions I’ve been too late. I would love to come photograph the site if I could get permission from the owners, any help in that matter would be greatly appreciated. The means to get in touch with me is through my website: photos-by-erin.com.
Thank you,
Erin
I’m very sorry, but no permission is granted ot indiviuals. Owner
I myself was completely intrigue by this place. I’ve been looking up different areas in New England for the group I belong to – to beable to investigate. It’s too bad that there has been so many issues with other people taking advantage of the owner and thier property and has made a bad name for anyone else curious about the paranormal activity that maybe happening there. I can completely understand the owners standpoint though, it just comes down to having respect for them and thier wishes. It sounds as though too many people have taken things onto themselves and has ruined the possiblities for others to visit the area.
All this is very interesting over something quite trivial. If the land is privately owned, then the land owner clearly has a right to protect himself against any trespassers- and I can only imagine the types of people that these ghost stories attract. Is there an actual contact for the owner(s) of the land? I don’t expect that to be published on here but I DO think that there’s an opportunity to make a lot of money off this, if done properly. By saying that, I’m not ruling out that this isn’t what is going on right now. Weed out the weirdos, take a donation and let people have a look at the historical site. I don’t see anything wrong with that. Am I somewhat close to the truth? I realize it’s not all about money and if the owner just likes to check out who is visiting his site before granting permission, then I give him even more respect. Hey…I grew up in Coventry and while I live far away now, but this would be one great idea for a date if given permission…..just saying.
I went to Bara Hack when I was residing in Putnam, CT for 15 years (which also has a haunting past due to the flood in the 1950′s). I walked the entire area and nothing had happened. When I say “nothing” I mean there were no animal sounds and the air was very still kind of stale. That in itself was creepy considering it was very cold and windy that day. The cemetery is beautiful and very old as are the remains of the houses that once stood there. I did not feel unpleasant as I walked through the grounds, however I did get the feeling of being watched or followed. On the way out of the grounds I did hear a peculiar rapping on one of the large old trees on the main path towards the exit. I distinctly heard 3 very loud knocks! I examined the tree for any animal nests or holes and saw nothing! I then got into my vehicle and proceeded to turn the key to start it, NOTHING! The darned vehicle would not start. I took this as a bad omen considering the vehicle was in like new condition. I proceeded to try and turn the engine over and finally got it running. Once home I could not stop thinking about it and that night I did experience sounds of children in my home and strange nightmares. I did not return.
wow belinda have you ever hear of a bird called a woodpecker..hmm they love rapping on trees.i live in these woods and see lots of animals and birds.even beer cans from the local people who like to tresspass out here..the erie feeling you had of someone watching you was me from a bush watching your excuse of exsistence creeping through my forest..the only thing that haunts these woods is the pressence of you and all your friends bugging me while im trying to rest..yes i am the first sasquatch to have internet out here..thank you verizon..well i have better things to do now like scare away more people.. please just tell people the teruth about my forest stating that it is not haunted,it is on private property,and it just belongs to some very wonderful people ,and i get to sleep in it with all my woodland friends,sfae sound and proteceted KEEP OUT …squashy
Mall Cop…….. It’s people like you who make the kind people of this town want to keep others away, I’ve lived in this town for 4 yrs now, My wife ( an awesome photographer)and I find things like Bara-Hack interesting and wonderful places to visit and learn, Please stay out of our town and not ruin it for those of us who greatly appreciate all the wonders and hidden places this town has to offer. This is our town!
If the state police are wasting their time “arresting” people wandering around empty property we are wasting tax dollars. I live in the area and walk the woods daily. If i run into posted property i just make my way off the property as quickly as possible. The police can’t even find addresses out here within 45 minutes let alone someone walking in the woods. Even if they do there is no way they would arrest you unless you were hunting/trapping w/o permission. If someone is hunting/trapping w/o permission, littering or destroying property that is another story. Shame on those idiots. Book them if you catch them. For all others, Lighten up people. I would strongly suggest blaze orange on anyone wandering the woods this time of year.
it’s just funny to me that a man goes out of his way to ask for permission, never mind your weird phobia about tresspassing in “the last green valley” , “the quiet corner” “quaint” ct, and you blantently deny him, explain to me how keeping that all to your greedy self is justified, i wasn’t aware one could be so stingy. HEY, ANYONE IF YOU WANNA SEE A GREAT VIEW EMAIL ME, GOT SOME FOUNDATIONS AND AN OLD CEMETERY.
@eyes and ears, your in the woods, it’s not that hard to run from a bunch of fat, out of shaped coked up cops, these are our woods. the woods are the woods. its kinda like the ocean, property that should be given equal rights to travel through. if you disagree, move to jersey. because that’s some straight jersey [stuff]. seriously, you’re treating walking through the woods like its some act of treason against the united states, using scare tactics…while i’ve been in your area of the world many times, and i can clearly note, that people in the woods do not disturb anybody, and your house isnt even relatively close to the actual abandonment (from what ive heard), its just a reflecting on how self centered human society has become, especially these upscale areas like pomfret and woodstock, thankfully im born and raised with a sense of neighborly love, seriously irritating, i bet you call the cops for any little indiscretion you see…one of those types.
I bet they don’t want people finding their secret garden I found out there in the fall..
All i have to say about these last 3 comments is wow.. you people are rude and inconsiderate and thats why people like you ..will never get permision to be on someones preoperty..If the preoperty is not ure’s than just leave it be.. stop being such wine babies about the whole thing..and go rummgae through a state park where it isnt treaspassing and is 100 percent leagal..so with that being said good day to you all
