Urban legends are different from scary stories because there's always a little truth mixed in. But you'll have to decide for yourself just how much of these stories are based in fact and how much of it is just plain rubbish. But be warned! Some of these just might be hauntings that haven't garnered a lot of attention yet. In a state like Connecticut, you can never really tell.

Downs Road, which used to connect Bethany to Hamden, is now just an unpaved gated road in the woods.
Legend has it that this is a breeding ground for spirits, monsters, and even a couple of UFO sightings. But it's never been made clear as to why the road has remained intact but still never paved. Maybe the original inhabitants must know something we don't!

As this old postcard shows, Gardner Lake in Salem has some weird stuff happening.
This image depicts the legend that a fully intact house sits at the bottom of the lake, the product of a family's unsuccessful attempt to move it across the frozen lake. Left inside was a piano, which fisherman claim to hear playing below the surface.

Much like Bigfoot, Connecticut has its own hairy forest dweller, known as the Winsted Wildman.
Yet another bigfoot tale, this wild man has been spotted for over a hundred years, though usually in clustered accounts with years of silence in between. When he's spotted again. it's always a different area as well as if he's traveling.
