We flash back to when Chris, Ed, and friend of the show Pat Townsend, creep through the abandoned corners of Connecticut, starting with the cursed legend of Dudleytown, moving through the crumbling former psychiatric campus of Fairfield Hills, and ending with the state’s most gloriously messed-up piece of roadside folklore: the Melon Heads. It’s a fun trip into the kind of local legends that make Connecticut feel way weirder than you might think it is.Originally aired on Patreon: 07/17/25Get the latest episode of NEW FEAR UNLOCKED and a whole lot more at: patreon.com/scaredallthetime<br...
