Little People Village

This past Saturday we decided to visit Little People's Village in Middlebury. Legand has it, that a man and wife settled here in a hand-fashioned stone house. Soon after moving in, the wife began seeing fairies in the woods outside their house. She asked her compliant husband to build them small houses, and later a throne, as she was the queen of the fairies. The man and woman died in the house, and it is said that the voices of the little people can be heard when walking the grounds.


Another source states that the houses were part of an attraction en route to Quassy Lake Resort in the early 1900s, and the large stone house was the gift shop. Believe what you will.


We amateur ghost hunters, my sister and her husband walked the long access road at the end of Old Waterbury Road and found to our left the Little People Village and of course the throne--none of which was creepy or gave us unsettling feelings. We explored the grounds and found many unusual things, but nothing spooky. Here are some pictures of the grounds and our brave crew!

About Me

My husband, Kris, and I have lived in Connecticut all our lives and fell in love with its two sides—the established New England beauty, and the dark history from its early settlement. Most recently, I found myself wanting to know more about real “haunting” and with that, the gruesome past of the pristine Connecticut in which I lived. Me and my fellow Path Assistant classmate, Erika, decided we would search and explore ghostly Connecticut in hopes of debauching myths about haunted places or proving, at least to ourselves and some followers, that creepy things can be unexplained. Of course we girls have found that when it comes to these adventures our husbands are more than willing to comply and come along for the journey at times finding our next place to visit. I hope you enjoy. Please write comments, as we all love to hear what you think about these places or even your own adventures. Anything will help in determining fact from fiction, haunting from hoax. Thanks!
