Metal Detecting The Abandoned Little People's Village

  • This is mostly a sightseeing trip to the Little People's Village in Middlebury, CT in April 2014. I do a little metal detecting towards the end at 13:00. As I expected, there is way too much junk in the ground to find anything interesting. I do manage to score 32 cents in clad and a wheat penny.
    The Little People's Village is rumored to be haunted. Not much is known about it's origins. It was said to be built by an old man who heard voices that told him to build all the tiny houses and bizarre structures.
    It is also said to have been part of Quassy amusement park. I haven't seen any actual evidence of this. Whatever it was, it was once very elaborate and strange. There is evidence of elaborate water features all around. There were originally more buildings but many have collapsed and decayed or destroyed by fire and vandalism.

    I've been there! From what I was told: The legend is that ages ago before they had reliable psychological practices, a woman started seeing little people everywhere and she was locked up and thought to be insane. She was basically left in a dungeon with poor care and she died while being locked up. After she died her husband started seeing the little people and built up a the village. The other story I heard is that you disappear into the little people's world if you sit on the throne...

      Yeah definitely a creepy vibe u can feel it through the video almost. Definitely a strange lil village no matter why it was created. Be there m sure it was for a reason n not because they heard voices I'd say created for children most likely n the tiny houses for dolls r toys. But it feels haunted r something... Wish they had more info upon this place be cool know for sure. Ghost adventures should investigate!

    Someone ought to take the most intact of those little houses before they're completely destroyed, restore it and put it on display somewhere in town, maybe on a common or in a park with a sign explaining it. If I lived in the area I'd see about it myself, it seems a shame to let something so oddball and mysterious get ruined.

    You know I heard a story of a man who saw about 7-8 small people who were a foot tall, naked , and had black curly hair to their shoulders. He said they were all carrying sticks in their hands and once they saw him they dropped their items and ran. He said he chased them as much as he could until they all sank into the ground. He went back after to show his father the small tiny footsteps and pick up the spears or sticks they had. Very weird true story.

    I’m from Alaska and one of relatives who used to tell the best stories ever once he told me a story about where one winter he decided to stay in his cabin next to the Yukon river, and the first night he got there he fell right to sleep but in the middle of the night he was awoken up by a knock at his door and he was being cautious because he didn’t expect anyone to be there when he opened the door no one was there, so the next morning he found little foot steps all going all around his house in the snow, the footsteps continued into the dense forest but whenever he tried to follow them he would just lose them and have to go back to his cabin this happened each night until finally stuff from his cabin like his food, beer, and even his pistol and ammo started to disappear so he decided to pack up and leave because there was a chance they might try to harm him and he never went back again

    I have an idea about the 'boot'. If you attach that fitting to a rod of some sort, you could have used the boot to make 'footprints of the little people' in the earth while walking, using it as a walking stick type device, pushing it into the earth as you walked. This would create the appearance of little footprints.

    It's the remains of an old roadside (trolley-side, actually) attraction called "The Fairy Village." It was operated from around 1900 til sometime in the early 1930s, on the trolley line to Lake Quassy. that what one sit saying The truth of the story (which many people don't bother checking into) is that the Little People's Village was simply once an elaborate attraction on a trolley line that was part of nearby Lake Quassy Amusement Park. It was built in the early part of the 20th century, and was originally known as "The Fairy Village." The "throne" appears to have been part of an ornamental garden, and many of the concrete structures here were part of the trolley stop. When the trolley line ceased running, there was no way to reach the attraction, and as such, it was no longer visited and fell into disrepair. -

    The biggest difference with dilapidation when it comes to Japan vs any other country. In japan, the mountains are scattered with homes, shrines, sacred spots etc, and they are in amazing condition despite the amount of time abandoned. In any other country, you get teens who find the spot and within a month its trashed, burned down, sprayed up and overall just an ugly place to explore. I don't get it.. every kid (and any age I suppose) wants to explore things like this, so why destry it? Just doesn't make sense to me. I see where the main building was burned... shocked to not see any spray paint of pot leaves and cheesy pentagrams as is typical. Nice video

    What I can't believe is that we've raised a couple of generations of young people who are so divorced from the lives of their parents, grandparents and great grandparents that they swallow this tripe about madness and little people. Folks wonder where the evidence is that this was a tourist attraction and that a road every passed it? Turn around. Its right behind you. The evidence of it is overwhelming the sound through the whole video. Yeah, the interstate is newer. We layer roads. We widened and graveled Indian trails, deer paths and buffalo trails because they were the path of least resistance around and over obstacles. Later we ran tracks and canals in the same paths, or paved them for roads. Later still, the most heavily used were torn out and made into four lanes and interstates. The fact that there is an interstate behind you tells you this has always been a heavily traveled route.
    The America I grew up in in the sixties and seventies was full of little kitschy places like this, built for tourism. Most trolley lines had some kind of attraction at the end of their most remote and lightly traveled route, to make that route profitable. Many of these were still open when I was a kid, although they were starting to close since the trolleys were closing about that time.
    You kids need to spend some time talking to your parents, grandparents and great grandparents rather than your screens. You might learn something.

      Freeways are not always layered over older roads or paths. As a matter of fact, I'd say it's the exact opposite. They are built to bypass or go around cities. All the freeways around me were built from scratch and go through the country where there were no roads at all prior. They look at elevation and regular maps and pick a route and then proceed to buying the land. All the highways and freeways used to go directly through towns, and now they straddle along side them oftentimes in a more direct straight line.
      In this case it was a gas station on a whiney highway that went around a rock or mountain(?). It was eventually bypassed when they blasted a path through making a straighter freeway (again, a new route where none existed previously, if they built over the existing, it never would have been abandoned in the first place). Which is why the then very bored gas station owner built the village around 1930 due to not having any customers anymore. He had it all lit up and was going to start a nursery but he never got that far. Don't necessarily need grandparents that may not know anything, have wrong recollections, and may not share it if they do know. That is why we have historical societies to document this stuff with accurate info. Just need to know where to look rather than going to rumour mill sites that lie claiming it's madness, little people, fairies, park or trolley atraction, etc...

I recently read a biography (it is available on Kindle) of a great sage who lived in India two hundred years ago and the name of the book is "The Incredible Life of a Himlayan Yogi - The Times, Teachings and Life of the Living Shiva Baba Lokenath Brahmachari". In this book Baba, who with his companions used to travel incredible distances and went up to Siberia, himself mentions that he and his friends had come across humans as little as one feet tall. Earlier they were a little hostile to the 'big' strangers but later when they realized the sages meant no harm, they became friendly towards Baba and his friends.

    It is not hard to find out that this really was part of the Quassy amusement park--there is no big mystery here. It was originally called the Fairy Village and was part of a trolley ride.
    The real mystery is why people have to destroy things like this--I understand that there are currently no original structures undamaged by vandalism now.

    I can't help but wonder if the little structure you found before 7:54 was a kiln. Seeing the terracotta pieces and the way there was what looked (to me) like an airway underneath of it just made me think of a stone oven or kiln. Neat place, overall! Good luck, and be careful.

    Have a similar story on my reservation in NE about an old guy that would always feed the little ppl and for some reason or another (maybe became sick) he stopped and then a few weeks went by and someone went to check on him. He was in his backyard crawling around. Knees were bloodied to the bone. Elders say thats why you leave them be. They can make you lose your mind.

    The truth of the story (which many people don't bother checking into) is that the Little People's Village was simply once an elaborate attraction on a trolley line that was part of nearby Lake Quassy Amusement Park. It was built in the early part of the 20th century, and was originally known as "The Fairy Village." The "throne" appears to have been part of an ornamental garden, and many of the concrete structures here were part of the trolley stop. When the trolley line ceased running, there was no way to reach the attraction, and as such, it was no longer visited and fell into disrepair. - See more at: www.damnedct.com/little-peoples-village-middlebury#sthash.Zdr4sGCH.dpuf

No it's not related to Quassey either.. *The old man's wife herd and thought she saw little people and she made him build little houses for the little people* that is the saying..

    DEBUNKED: "The Fairy Village." It was operated from around 1900 til sometime in the early 1930s, on the trolley line to Lake Quassy. The "normal sized" house was actually a gift shop and the "throne" was part of an elaborate fountain/water distribution set up (to get water to the fairy houses) in the midst of some floral gardens. - See more at: www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/13581#sthash.QCa1I0IA.dpuf
