The only compressible experience I have had was when I drank an immense amount of absinthe. I ran around my University’s campus with some friends in search of the green fairy. Unfortunately the hallucinogen was extracted (Oh US law)…and people merely thought by my actions I was tripping. But alas…I was not.

I grew up close to Velvet St. in Monroe in the 70′s. Close enough that I would ride my bike there. One kid in school in the 70′s told a story of fighting off Mellon heads on Velvet St. back then. I’m sure he was full of BS, but it was fun to hear.

I have ridden my bike down that road and also drove to work going out of my way using Velvet St. many times. Never got the feeling there was anything strange there. Nice place to see wild life.

I also remember my cousins talking about Mellon Heads in Stratford back around 1970. Seems this story is all over Connecticut. Kind of neat to have our own legend so close to home.

my uncle used to scare us to death telling us about the melon heads when we were little & we believed him even though he made us believe they lived in devils hopyard right down the road from where we lived.

[...] As mentioned, the most popular articles on Damned Connecticut have all been related to The Haunting in Connecticut, including our interview with Ray Garton and Steve’s Pulitzer Prize-nominated (sure!) Q&A with Nancy Boucher, aunt of the Snedeker family. The other top stories include our listings of Halloween events, the articles about Remington Arms (sparked by the “Ghost Adventures” visit there), Dunnellen Hall, Seaside Sanatorium and of course, the ever-loving, always-popular Melon Heads!

I also grew up in Milford in the 1970s (went to Jonathan Law HS) and remember the stories.

I always thought that ‘melon head’ probably referred to hydroencephaly (water on the brain).
