But I kept seeing more things in the woods that were increasingly odd. And then beyond odd, and downright disturbing. Right along the road, scattered along its length but sometimes in clusters, there were objects hanging from trees. It was a menagerie of dummies. Some were homemade scarecrow-like figures. Others were fashioned from sheets, waving gently from 15 feet above the ground. Others looked a lot like people. Some of those had cheap plastic clown masks strapped to what would be the faces. Others had hoods over the heads, but still had boots or sneakers on what would be feet.
I passed a piece of plywood with baby dolls nailed crudely to it. I passed dangling sawblades, a machete stuck blade-down into the ground, and a semi-circle of more dummies wearing clown masks. I passed a few platforms that were a few feet off the road, some of which were empty and some of which were cluttered with rusty metal tools.
Now that I had escaped the terror of the homespun haunted hayride attraction in full sunlight, it was time to turn around and find that well. This time, the disturbing tableaus seemed a lot cuter. I found the well, and it was in genuinely horrifying shape; it was so rusted out that I could see through the storage tank entirely.
OMG as soon as I saw "Nuns" and Dudley road I knew you were talking about Billerica. Growing up in a Massachusetts small town I knew of many stories. But it wasn't until my boyfriend(Billerica native) took me there one night. Now my friends and I were like you . We had to check it out . But without a doubt #DudleyRoadBillerica will make your hair stand up.
Notice how there is a foundation where the house meets the ground...I do not feel that this house is sinking, just looks that way because the house does look like it was squashed. I would like to see more proof of it being sunken.
Took girls for a ride there every weekend nights when I was a teenager. Way before they fixed the roads there. Used to be a narrow and bumpy dirt road. Creepy as heck but never saw anything. All the girls were scared sh*tless though.
This place is no joke, be careful lot of pure evil spirts are thier. I use to go their almost every day at night when I was 25 , seen a bunch of creepy stuff, caught evp, ghost in cam, even had friends change into something different. I went back about a year ok same creepy feeling but a bunch of new houses were built and the dirt rd is now paved and all the houses have lights pointing to the road wish is kinda odd. But believe me this place is no joke ,
I went down that road when i was a tewn with an ex gf and we would smell gasoline and hear screams at night theres a story that someone got doused with gas and set on fire weve seen it and smelled it at night time thats not the real story everyone sees diffrent and smells diffrent stuff there!!!
My friends & I have gone to Dudley Road back in 1994-1996. None of those beautiful houses where there. Just a long narrow dark road with a white blg and water well at the very end. We have gotten out of the cars, walked and chased back to them by god knows what. It was scary & entertaining at our age. We seen all of the haunting ghost.
I live on this road. I've lived on this road for years. There's no ghosts. The nuns are extremely nice and polite. The only thing you'll find is a bunch of idiot f**king kids looking for a creepy story. If you want to be scared, you're better off watching a scary movie. And yes, I'll call the cops on you.
Unfortunately there have been cars full of idiot kids who have decided it would be a good idea to pull onto our property, drive around our farm, and even enter our barn with the horses. Passively driving down the road is one thing. But if you're acting suspicious or driving like an idiot, you better believe the cops are coming.
I have no experience on hauntings but I was a manager at Kmart in billerica before it closed. The Daughters of St. Paul (current nuns living on Dudley rd.) Would tell me all the the of people going to their home just to destroy it, this broke my heart! Ghost stories or not, please teach your children to respect the nunnery and not destroy it!!
Same! Always questioned whether it was sheer coincidence that my car died there....as soon as we entered the dirt road part right in front of the walking trail into the woods. I've had many encounters on Dudley Rd. some of which I have no doubt were paranormal.
I worked at the bee farm house for two days replacing the windows very nice place nothing very spooky. I've known about this road scince I was young and while in high school a few people and I decided to go on a blunt cruise down the road I made the driver stop and I got out. I had the blunt and I told my friends to come with me if they wanted to continue smoking. And I started my little walk. Everyone was too scared to follow so I ended up smoking on my own. I dont know if I was just really stoned and paranoid but I couldn't shake this creepy feeling that someone was watching me and following me. I went back to the car and gave my friends the roach. It's a fun little folklore to take a girl on a ride and try to impress her by shutting off your lights and walking into the woods for a minute.
I grew up on the next street over and these stories were being told at least 40 tears ago when I was a kid.
As teenagers in the 80's my friends and I drove down there at night. I was scared out of my mind but nothing happened, we didn't see a damn thing.
I grew up a town away and went to high school in Billerica. So as a teen, a few friends and I went. It was winter, snow and ice, all over, and it was night time. My car got stuck in the road, in the snow, so I see a guy coming out, dressed as a farmer, but he carried a shotgun and I was scared shit. The guy yelled and shot his gun, and i yelled back "I'm just stuck in the snow i need some kitty litter",lol. He did help me, so maybe he just lived there, but damn I was scared of getting shot that night. It is definitely creepy, theres a noose hanging from one of the trees as well. You can see that during the day. I've been down the road alot in the past to meet my guy and I think it's still creepy during the day.
In the 80's I worked at a farm on this road as an artist's assistant for years... I've also house sat & baby sat for a few people on this road as well. Funny, but i never heard any of these stories before! Yes the road is narrow & bumpy in spots, and yes it's not well lit, but that's about it. I've been there in the day as well as the night & never really felt anything off. I used to wave to the Sisters as they worked on their property & it always upset me when I saw damage done. I have seen & heard "spirits" many times in my life, but none here. If you do go for a drive there to check it out, please be respectful to the people who live there.
I lived a town over in Tewksbury circa 1999. The stories were very much alive then and some people still talk about them now. A lot of us would visit there, but i dont recall anyone destroying property. Usually it would be midnight and a group of us would be messed up and think it was a good idea to go there for kicks. There were times nothing happened, but it still felt foreboding. I remember I climbed a tree, because that's just something I would do and jumped out of it after hearing an unholy shriek, not like an animal, others I was with heard it too and we got out of there as fast as possible. One time I had a feeling of dread and wouldn't leave the car, even pleading with my friends not to go and nothing happened. Not sure if it was the lure of it all, but at night, the place was spooky. It's a shame people couldn't be more respectful like we were, but the few always ruin it for the many.
I used to live in nearby Wilmington and I used to go out there once in a while with my teenage friends. One night my friends Uncle Mel dared us to walk the road at night all the way through. He was waiting at the other end. We were almost done and we heard footsteps behind us. We all took off running...something was chasing us. As we ran past uncle Mel screaming something hit him hard in the chest and knocked him to the ground. He was a big guy.
There was a piece of rope hanging from one of the trees overhanging the road. One of us climbed up there to get it. It has been there a long tome, the tree was growing around it. He had to cut it to take it. One of the girls with us had it in her room for years.
Another night I was driving through and my headlights shut off and I lost my radio reception at the same time. I do believe there is some spirits out there.
What I heard when I was a teenager was there was a insane asylums at one end of the road and someone escaped from there and hung three of the nuns from a tree overhanging the road.
The road has been paved and a bunch of houses are on it now, but before it was an overgrown shitty dirt road, we used to drive down it often because it was creepy. One day we were driving down the road and we saw a nun in a blue and white outfit walking down the road (there are no sidewalks or anything) so when we turned around I wanted my friend to stop so I could ask her about what happened there, we couldn't see her, then out of nowhere just like in a horror movie, she steps out from the overgrown bushes and in front of our car, we had to slam on the brakes and she never even looked at us, she just kept walking in front of us and down a path out of our sight. We left with our blood pumping because it startled us, later we came back and went down the path she walked, it just led to an open field with nothing as far as you could see. It was so bizarre and we can't quite explain what happened to us that day.
