2 CREEPY LEGENDS!

Melon Heads

This chilling legend doesn't just take place in one part of the state, but in several regions — making it all the more terrifying.

According to the Connecticut Post, "Melon Heads are said to be either a band of deranged escapees of an asylum or a group of remote settlers who have suffered facial abnormalities due to inbreeding. Melon Head 'roads' exist notably in Shelton, Milford and Trumbull, in which people claim that the Melon Heads will attack their car with rocks in order to deter them from coming back on their land. 

If you're feeling adventurous, Saw Mill City Road in Shelton is known to be their primary stomping ground, so be sure to visit at night."

The Haunted History Of Connecticut's Union Cemetery

Nestled at a crossroads in Easton, Connecticut - Union Cemetery dates back more than 400 years, and its ghosts have been terrifying passers-by and ghost hunters for decades. There are believed to be many spirits in the graveyard—including soldiers and giggling children—but the most famous haunts at Union Cemetery are the “White Lady” and “Red Eyes.”

Union Cemetery, occupied by the legendary “White Lady,” is considered one of the most haunted places in America.

Nobody is quite sure who the White Lady is. According to Damned Connecticut, some think she could be the ghost of a woman who died in childbirth and is still searching for her baby. Others speculate it’s the ghost of a woman who murdered her husband. The White Lady could also be the ghost of a murder victim who was dumped in a sinkhole near the cemetery. No matter her origin, she is often sighted on Route 59, which runs along the cemetery’s eastern boundary.

The people who have seen her say she’s dressed in a bright white nightgown and has her head and face concealed with a white bonnet.

In the 90s, a firefighter responding to a call in the nearby town of Monroe said a woman in a long white gown jumped in front of him and he hit her. According to the Monroe Sun, the woman rolled over the top of his car and landed in the road behind him. When the firefighter leaped from the vehicle to render first aid, his hood was dented, but there was no one there.

Union Cemetery at the crossroads in Easton has been the site of unexplained paranormal activity for more than 400 years. Legend has it that one of the spirits will leap in front of cars driving by at night.
