Connecticut is actually really beautiful in some areas. Yea there some “haunted”areas but let’s be honest, every state has some sort of cursed history and haunted destinations.
@@Sheparrdgutz it's not bad cuz its haunted it's bad cuz it's high I'm taxes, we have a serious drug problem no one is doing anything about, alot of people dont have jobs, car insurance is high and u can't own a car here unless u pay property tax on it, gas is very expensive, tobacco tax is expensive, winters are harsh, crime has gone up over the years.. I can keep going.. I mean yes SOME parts are nice.. (if you are rich) but most suck. I've lived here my whole life id know..
Omg I want to Iive in a ghost town! When I tell my husband I can’t stand having neighbors, this is what I envision as my dream home and neighborhood! Love that wallpaper!
I attended a wedding reception that was held in Johnsonville some years back. It's a lovely little town. I understand that it has now been sold. If I had an extra five - ten mill collecting dust I would have bought it myself, restored it and made it a museum. It would have served as a testament days/years gone by.
I was married in the church at Johnsonville and had a beautiful reception in the Red House there. Also Billy Joel filmed parts of his River of dreams video there, the choir sings in front of the church on the estate . The Johnsonville property is amazing, I'm glad to have had a part of it.
They steal this energy from us, probably why he won’t go back alone, another persons energy make all the difference or a distraction 😅 I’ve been phantom hit in the face a few times within 5secs, in Orlando condo rental getting back from Disney. Kitchen light kept turning off and on, whole fam there I was the only one experiencing it.
@@rupe53 Connecticut homeowners pay some of the highest property taxes in the country. The state's average effective property tax rate (taxes as a percentage of home value) is 2.14%, which ranks as the third-highest of any state in the U.S.
@@agentbubbles782 ... as I said, PERSONAL property tax. (car, boat, etc) I have had a home here for 40+ years and never got a tax bill on that from the state. Get one from the town every year. You are correct that we have high taxes (in general) but many are not state taxes, they are local taxes.
@@rupe53 in general everything is also more expensive. You won't find a studio for under 1000. In Texas where I currently live my studio costs 750 a month heat and water included. I live in the city.
Yeah same, or rent it out for people to film movies/shows music videos etc. have weddings there, air bnb… the land looks really nice and some buildings have potential to be rebuilt into nice homes
dude wtf at about 1:08 mark you can hear a mocking evil laugh. please tell me that was an edit? I just came from hearing Mr. Ballen's story about this place....
This year been the toughest year ever lost my mom two months ago two days before mother's day few months before my mom lost grandma both to cancer 💔Im now homeless I would love a home it's beautiful
Watching someone die of cancer is the worst thing ever. Also lost my mother to cancer and 3 months before that lost my grandmother and I lived with both of them also. It gets better over time but still miss them everyday.
I read an article a few years back about 2018 or 2019 that a Japanese religious group bought the town for quite a lot more then 1.9 or so million and still own it. Haven't heard anything more since.
A Filipino church bought it in 2018. I know, I wish I had money. It would've been great to buy and add some more historic buildings and make a little artist village or something, with maybe rental cottages.
So which massive corporation, bank, or "duel citizenship" investor ended up buying this historic place just to let it rot or flatten it for a parking lot?
This looks like a wonderful place to start a cult. Normally you’d house your followers in a chicken coop or shed but now you could house them in the post office. Now THAT.. That is fancy. 🕺🏻
No matter what you think of this town it really is a shame such architecture has no owner and is decapitated now. Also with all that old timey possibility of filming old movies I'm surprised Hollywood didn't buy it yet.
Its now bought by the iglesia ni cristo in the philippines and is now being slowly restored the place,, some building was renovated to become a school for ministers,,,
Yea how fkd up.is that. Don't even get me started. It's beyond me why places of worship and millionaires/ billionaires pay little to no taxes but us poor folk pay a third of our small ass pay check. Soo wrong
I believe Juliana and Ruth and David the McCurt family the house is abandoned because these two died on 9/11 and David passed away in July 2013 but I don't even know what date it was when he passed away
I wish i had the money sitting around to purchase this town i would fix it up and set it to be a tour city to tell its history or something and then when the end of the world hits if im still here imma make my own town like in the walking dead
looks like the Ideal place for a mini movie studio back lot place . A bet an amateur aspiring photographer . if he or she is lucky .you'll find some Ghost on film .
At 1:56 there appears to be a ghost outside of the window, only visible for about a half a second. Creepy long white hair and looks sort of transparent
The Warrens were horrid frauds. Just ask Ray Garton who adapted some of their “cases” into novelizations about how they made clear to make things up to dramatize uneventful “investigations” of theirs. They were hucksters and opportunists.
bro I wish I had about 5 million. I would by it and do it up, and place the rehab in it and some other good stuff and fullfill my dream. that would be something. obviously its not gone happen. some wicken group will get it instead
It was real. It actually has some creepy history. People who lived there in 1700s said they saw creatures walking the border of the town and eventually everyone who said it lost there mind. Then by 1900 it was abandoned. And in the early 20th century a doctor and his wife bought it and built a house on the property. They had to do it themselves because no local carpenter would do it for them. And then the dr had to go back to NYC for an emergency call some time after they moved in and his wife was left there for around two days. When he got back he noticed his wife wasn't at the train station and thought it was weird cause she seemed scared for him to leave. Then when he arrived at his house the door was open and he heard his wife upstairs laughing uncontrollably and when he saw her she was perfectly still with her mouth wide open, yet the laughter was still coming from her. Then she ended up losing her mind and when they moved back to NYC, she killed herself.
@@adamoneil5317 good lord!! What a story!!!!!!! A friend and I thought we discovered a ghost town in Montana but it was set from some grade z western Well good luck!!!!!!!!!
I am surprised that the church of Scientology hasn't snatched this up.

$1.9 million would get you an 800 sq. ft. apartment in Manhattan.
But...maybe w/a parking space.
1.9 million ....😂 Okay smart guy
4 years later, your comment made me laugh lol
There’s a sucker born every minute
@@Jesuisderetour87 yes, now with 1.9 you can buy a studio 😆
But the question to ask yourself is : 'why in the world would anyone want to move to the state of Connecticut?'
Texas is heaven on earth.
because they are crazy ^_-
🤣

Lol yeah right, trying to score likes i see
I was thinking the same thing! One of your family members can be Mayor!
I would love to live in a house with no neighbors. All I wanna see when I go outside are squirrels. Birds and trees. That's it
You do know this towns cursed right?
@@exro4222 yo this is from years ago
No one can afford the property TAX!!!
"Connecticut" and "ghost town". Two words to form a terrifying sentence.
😂
MrBallen?
the catch is ...the town is Dudley town
I was thinking the same thing haha

Because of Mr Ballen, we are now haunting your comment section!
@@haroldnecmann7040 Same.
Aww man I was hoping if I ever hit the lottery and had 800 million to blow I’d buy this town and turn it into something really cool

Awesome story. Thanks for sharing.
Has this town been sold yet?
@1:13 my question is why the heck is he on top of her?
I was just gonna ask that. Why is he so damn close to her suddenly? 🤨
Erin Seymour Yeah, I got BAD vibes from how close he got
Odd . . . hmm
My friend got married in that church! It was absolutely beautiful and so was the day!
Are they still married? My guess is probably not.
Somebody buy me this and I'll make awesome westerns to pay for it. We'll be rich.
@sgt malissa get me a movie studio or old western town and riches will follow.
It takes an extraordinary amount of energy for a ghost to generate to move that radiator.
Thats not a ghost. Its a demon.
Well, he's got nothing else to do...
They steal this energy from us, probably why he won’t go back alone, another persons energy make all the difference or a distraction 😅

The ghost probably boring. Or try to work out.
Beautiful place, very serene, refreshing & lovely
W
Wow it’s beautiful. If I had 10 million lying around I’d buy it and fix it up in a second.
You’d be dead
你的命够硬吗？
Beautiful place!! truly a remarkable landscape!
I'd buy it if Connecticut's taxes weren't so high.
AgentBubbles ... the state doesn't tax your land or your home, just your car, boat, and paycheck.

This town is selling for less than some houses here in Connecticut…
When you find the perfect location to shoot your western movie... then you hear the price hahah
If I were stupid rich I'd buy it just to add subtle haunted house props and open it to the public as an urban exploration site.
Maintenance costs
Yeah same, or rent it out for people to film movies/shows music videos etc. have weddings there, air bnb… the land looks really nice and some buildings have potential to be rebuilt into nice homes
.. What a waste.
when was this broadcast? $1.9 million for 62 acres and a town?!? You can barely get a house for that in Canada right now
OMG I would love to live there

What?? What a waste!!!

Now THAT.. That is fancy. 🕺🏻
Always had a dream to rescue animals..Will hire veterans who need a job for a place to live..Private,wholesome ,loving town..
Shut ya snitch butt up
They will have to be veterans to survive nights there.
Make power from that waterfall, there has to be a business that could sustain this town. No waste 100% recycle everything
Looks good for a couples retreat or for a home for the elderly.
That's stunning, I'm in ❤ if could I'd definitely buy it 😮
Can’t afford to own a car in Ct. I can’t imagine how much it cost to own a town.
1.9 million will get you a one bedroom apartment in Hollywood... maybe
I’ve lived here all my life and have never heard of this town.
No matter what you think of this town it really is a shame such architecture has no owner and is decapitated now.
Also with all that old timey possibility of filming old movies I'm surprised Hollywood didn't buy it yet.
Ok I want to buy this town.How much? I see this town growing with my knowledge
Was it ever Sold
ya, a Philippine church owns it now,outsourcing land now
"New Life in Johnsonville"

Gorgeous place to live
I would pay 1000 dollars.
Only 1.9 million, maybe I'll buy two.
Am owning this ghost town soon
Did u buy it
Did you buy it
Did u buy it
Did you buy it yet?
I want in oscar, let's do this shit...💯
I'll buy it & wear cowboy.
God bless.
Its now bought by the iglesia ni cristo in the philippines and is now being slowly restored the place,, some building was renovated to become a school for ministers,,,
Nobody wants to own anything in Connecticut
true everything so expensive and taxes uber high - not to mention bad energy there
Is that someone laughing in the background 01:09?
Is it still available?
The amount of comments thinking this is dudleytown lol
😅😂
Well ….. Did anyone every buy it ?
It was bought by a Filipino church in 2018. Don't know if they still own it.
whats the taxes on that village church bought it so 0 taxes
Yea how fkd up.is that. Don't even get me started. It's beyond me why places of worship and millionaires/ billionaires pay little to no taxes but us poor folk pay a third of our small ass pay check. Soo wrong
I want the water!,
A deal so crazy that you will go crazy...ill think about it
How about open it up to vets and the homeless we could turn that town around
This video is from 2018 - a Filipino church bought it.
i'm wondering why it never happens while their filming..??
I want buy it
On July 7, 2017 the property was acquired by the Iglesia ni Cristo, an independent, nontrinitarian Christian denomination based in the Philippines
I would love it! Move my whole family there!!
I believe Juliana and Ruth and David the McCurt family the house is abandoned because these two died on 9/11 and David passed away in July 2013 but I don't even know what date it was when he passed away
How much is it
mechanicstevieB ... the price was in the video..... $1.9 million
Would make a great theme park
How much is it ?I would buy it.
I wanna live there!!!
How much?
I'd bet the property taxes are double the purchase per year!!
Even if I lost the bet I'd be money ahead.......just saying!
1:13 why did he move thay close.😅
Did anyone notice the image that "walk" outside the window?!
I saw it what was that
@@SheikhN a human being-it had tours on weekends back when it was for sale.
I wish i had the money sitting around to purchase this town i would fix it up and set it to be a tour city to tell its history or something and then when the end of the world hits if im still here imma make my own town like in the walking dead
Gorgeous lake and waterfall. It could almost be refashioned a golf course or gated community.
A whole town that's cheaper to buy than beachfront property in California, and there's no homeless bums.
1:14 personal space…what’s that?
Im more shocked that a wiccan group has enough fundage to purchase something like this
I'd declare it "part of Quebec" and make it a sanctuary city for POT smokers! I'd be a rich man.
Nice place
Is nobody gonna say something about the person the crosses outside the window on 1:56 mark????
looks like the Ideal place for a mini movie studio back lot place . A bet an amateur aspiring photographer . if he or she is lucky .you'll find some Ghost on film .
Taylor Sheridan needs to buy it for his next series!
At 1:56 there appears to be a ghost outside of the window, only visible for about a half a second. Creepy long white hair and looks sort of transparent
Yea right just someone walking by no ghost
With modern clothes and a pocketbook. No, I think it was just a person walking by.
Well then they didn't build a property correctly today. Radiators don't fly off for no reason. It's called shoddy building workmanship.
With all the money Hollywood spend to produce a movie, they could buy that town and write a script around a haunted town not just a house😏
F--k hollyweird.
For how much I’ll take it
Ed warren: take my money!!! (Just a joke I love Ed and Lorraine for their research and what they did proving existence)
The Warrens were horrid frauds. Just ask Ray Garton who adapted some of their “cases” into novelizations about how they made clear to make things up to dramatize uneventful “investigations” of theirs. They were hucksters and opportunists.
