I was a huge fan of the Melon Head myth most of my life. I was a true believer when I was younger, then I perpetuated the myth when I got older. It was always fun! I even included Melon Heads on my top 5 monsters list: http://kooztop5.blogspot.com/2012/01/top-5-fake-creatures-some-people-think.html

Confirmed. The area past Chalk Hill towards Newtown is crawling with melon heads.

The melon head population in Monroe was/is concentrated in the swampy areas around Garter Road. That’s between Newtown and Monroe.

Having grown up in Southbury, us friends and other kids in high school would frequently go on melon head hunts while drunk or stoned at night. The story’s still alive. Never found anything, but walking around in the woods with baseball bats and coming across no trespassing signs and abandoned shacks really scares the shit out of you sober too.

I also remember a road off rt150 in Wallingford that had a Melon head story, it is fenced off now but the road is still there. My father would take us for drives 40yrs ago and tell us stories of people sitting on their porches with rifles and large heads. Several old run down shanty like houses were down there. Spooooky!

LOL brings back memories as we did that very same drive….(would never walk it too scared LOL) Good old dracula drive. We thought they had some street cams on watching us ride down the road….a reason why they knew we were there and hid……LOL
This was a fun but scary street.

About 20 years ago, around Halloween-time, some friends/etc. and I drove down a dark, unpaved road in Shelton that, at one end of it, had something facing it which was referred to by the Shelton resident in the car as “the Satan House.” A red porch light was on at this older (19th century, at least) home; the claim was made that inverted crosses could be seen on either side of front door to the house. Whatever… All I know is that it sure was a spooky fun evening; never been back to where I was that night and I’d like to check it out sometime again. To any of the readers out there: Do you know the place that I’m babbling about/was I on Sawmill City Rd. that night?

I found both Saw Mill City and Velvet Street by accident!

I found Saw Mill City one night after a crappy date, when I got lost going to my friend’s house. Shit scared the hell out of me.

I found Velvet Street by accident when I got lost delivering Pizza for Dominick’s (an actually GOOD ripoff of Domino’s). That road was way scarier than Saw Mill City

But my friend showed me Birdseye Road just before Saw Mill City Road in shelton coming from rt. 110. By far the scariest road ive ever driven.
