About a mile from house there's a forest that's feels haunted. Just walking around, you get a creepy feeling like someone is watching you. It sends a shiver down my back every time I get near this forest.

As you look deeper, you start to see things. One thing I noticed, there are no field stones or branches laying around... which is really weird for New England. It appears that someone has cleaned a huge area of the forest by removing all the stones and branches and placed them into HUGE piles. This cleaned section spans a wide area of the forest in a huge square about a 1/2 mile on each side. You can see two of the large piles below.

Old Tiny House

There appears to a stone foundation of a tiny house. The foundation is a small rectangle of very large stones. The small rectangle measures about 20' x 15'. It is made of large stones only (no mortar) and appears to be a shallow basement about 4' deep. There appears to be an opening facing East. I'm assuming this is where a door once stood. This is also the way they used to build home foundations many years ago. So, I'm assuming this abandoned home is around 100-200 years old.

Old Abandoned Well

About 200' away from the tiny house is an old abandoned well. It is also made of only large stones (no mortar). This is also the way they used to build wells many years ago. So, I'm assuming this well is also around 100-200 years old.

Mysterious Wood Huts

Like something out of the "Blair Witch Project", there are a bunch of huts made of only branches. It appears someone has tried to camp in this area by making some crude shelters out of branches. Not sure if they are boy-scouts or serial killers. But this is just weird! Don't you think??

Freaky Stone Structures

There are also some weird stone structures. I'm assuming this is where all the field stones went. I'm not sure if these are ancient burial sites or just stone artwork.

Weird Deformed Trees

All the trees in this area are strange. The have branches all the way to the ground and many of them have really weird shapes and deformities like the tree in the "Poltergeist" movie. Usually trees in an old forest have lost all of their lower branches. So, this suggests that this entire forest may have been a large farm field at one time in the distant past.
