I've been there! From what I was told: The legend is that ages ago before they had reliable psychological practices, a woman started seeing little people everywhere and she was locked up and thought to be insane. She was basically left in a dungeon with poor care and she died while being locked up. After she died her husband started seeing the little people and built up a the village. The other story I heard is that you disappear into the little people's world if you sit on the throne...
Yeah definitely a creepy vibe u can feel it through the video almost. Definitely a strange lil village no matter why it was created. Be there m sure it was for a reason n not because they heard voices I'd say created for children most likely n the tiny houses for dolls r toys. But it feels haunted r something... Wish they had more info upon this place be cool know for sure. Ghost adventures should investigate!
What a crying shame. Someone built these little places with the utmost care and attention to detail and now, look at it. Vandalised almost beyond recognition. What a commentary on today's society.
Yea, those little people are vandals; they destroyed their own neighborhood and ran back in the forest; laughing aboot it like it was some joke. The little ungreatful fuckers prefer livin' ootshide I guess. Tu Hell with em then.
Ruins get ruined that’s why they’re called ruins. No reason to lament and cry in stress and pain you sound ridiculous. everything is temporary get over it.
Someone ought to take the most intact of those little houses before they're completely destroyed, restore it and put it on display somewhere in town, maybe on a common or in a park with a sign explaining it. If I lived in the area I'd see about it myself, it seems a shame to let something so oddball and mysterious get ruined.
if you would live forever you could see everyone you loved and cared for die while you lived on and on. everyone you ever met would die while you would have to meet more and more.
Originally called “The Fairy Village”, the site was actually a roadside attraction and ornamental garden along the very busy trolley line that ran from Waterbury, through Middlebury, and into Quassy Lake Resort from 1908 to 1929.
marcusdolby1 no it was not part often quassy it was owned by a gas station who had been loosing money since new roads were build in so they decided to build a fairy as known as little people village they made a light house which you would notice near the throne and lights in the houses at night but the throne is said to be a fountain and the big house could of been the gas station but the man plan build a nursery but the man had been draft to world war 2 abandoned the gas station and the little people village later a relative from his family bought the property owning the little people village the man died leading it abandoned most of the stuff is gone now so it was never owned by quassy or some man built it it was a highway tourist attraction
i grew up in area i was told that it was made becuase of the wife was seeing small people and her husband built house's for them.as time wnt by all was trashed by kids.the wife had illness of some kind nd lived on other side of hill.now all is over run with weeds.but still good site for finding old stuff.thanks for stopping by.been many years i was there last.
+Jeff Wilkes yea but most people would Only do it if they where going to get some kind of money out of it, this world has gone to hell in a hand basket
I’m from Alaska and one of relatives who used to tell the best stories ever once he told me a story about where one winter he decided to stay in his cabin next to the Yukon river, and the first night he got there he fell right to sleep but in the middle of the night he was awoken up by a knock at his door and he was being cautious because he didn’t expect anyone to be there when he opened the door no one was there, so the next morning he found little foot steps all going all around his house in the snow, the footsteps continued into the dense forest but whenever he tried to follow them he would just lose them and have to go back to his cabin this happened each night until finally stuff from his cabin like his food, beer, and even his pistol and ammo started to disappear so he decided to pack up and leave because there was a chance they might try to harm him and he never went back again
I have an idea about the 'boot'. If you attach that fitting to a rod of some sort, you could have used the boot to make 'footprints of the little people' in the earth while walking, using it as a walking stick type device, pushing it into the earth as you walked. This would create the appearance of little footprints.
Omg yes I had to replay several times cuz it does camouflage well.:8; almost look like a leaf but look at the movement and how it came around the side and in
This area should really be preserved and named historic. Also, wtf is wrong with kids today? Disrespecting anything and everything that comes in their path?. I'm only 33 but damn if I ever went to "party and drink" my parents would have beat my ass for that!. Kids now in days have no respect, pride or dignity for themselves!. That's why society is the way it is!
In this case its most likely money, otherwise known as the powerful company that may have hurt it but felt some entertainment need to preserve it. Children most likely won't be around that place it's too dangerous now. It could've served as a mini golf something around those lines.
I just came across your video....live minutes away and always wanted to check this place out. Thank you so much for posting this. Absolutely fascinating!!
Robin Cassidy R.N. you should go check it out, it's not hard to find, just walk down the access road, it's right at the dead end street there. Let me know how it is now if you go.
You know I heard a story of a man who saw about 7-8 small people who were a foot tall, naked , and had black curly hair to their shoulders. He said they were all carrying sticks in their hands and once they saw him they dropped their items and ran. He said he chased them as much as he could until they all sank into the ground. He went back after to show his father the small tiny footsteps and pick up the spears or sticks they had. Very weird true story.
The biggest difference with dilapidation when it comes to Japan vs any other country. In japan, the mountains are scattered with homes, shrines, sacred spots etc, and they are in amazing condition despite the amount of time abandoned. In any other country, you get teens who find the spot and within a month its trashed, burned down, sprayed up and overall just an ugly place to explore. I don't get it.. every kid (and any age I suppose) wants to explore things like this, so why destry it? Just doesn't make sense to me. I see where the main building was burned... shocked to not see any spray paint of pot leaves and cheesy pentagrams as is typical. Nice video
Definitely a roadside attraction. Reminds me of Sherwood Forest in Oregon, family owned and operated, so glad it's still around since my childhood there. Pity someone didn't keep some knowledge or pictures of this place to restore it.
It was a side show attraction back in the day- it was a "fairy village" with water fountains and gardens. that house that fell apart was the gift shop. There was a train that ran through there on the way to the water park.
Say, while you were at the Little People's Village, did you ever get the feeling that you were being WATCHED? LOL! Nice finds you got! I wish I had a metal detector! Cheers! ~Janet in Canada : )
It's the remains of an old roadside (trolley-side, actually) attraction called "The Fairy Village." It was operated from around 1900 til sometime in the early 1930s, on the trolley line to Lake Quassy. that what one sit saying The truth of the story (which many people don't bother checking into) is that the Little People's Village was simply once an elaborate attraction on a trolley line that was part of nearby Lake Quassy Amusement Park. It was built in the early part of the 20th century, and was originally known as "The Fairy Village." The "throne" appears to have been part of an ornamental garden, and many of the concrete structures here were part of the trolley stop. When the trolley line ceased running, there was no way to reach the attraction, and as such, it was no longer visited and fell into disrepair. -
wish there where pictures of it when it was new it looks so awsome! to bad people feel the need to destroy it! it could be an exiting "adventure" for small kids to go and visit it
@DetectingMetal Well how about that....Just found a tiny person looking out from one of the windows @2:53. It's the far window on the left and you can see her face and her right hand over the window ledge itself. She has dark hair and can be seen at thebottom right corner of the window frame. There is also an animal anomaly coming out from the entrance of the building to the left of the dark opening on the right. Pretty kool, their still there.
when I was younger my auntie told me a scary story of little tiny people that would cut your leg off if u Step on there home, unless u build a new home for them. so funny back then
Little people do exist. I recently read a biography (it is available on Kindle) of a great sage who lived in India two hundred years ago and the name of the book is "The Incredible Life of a Himlayan Yogi - The Times, Teachings and Life of the Living Shiva Baba Lokenath Brahmachari". In this book Baba, who with his companions used to travel incredible distances and went up to Siberia, himself mentions that he and his friends had come across humans as little as one feet tall. Earlier they were a little hostile to the 'big' strangers but later when they realized the sages meant no harm, they became friendly towards Baba and his friends.
That is an awesome little place to hunt and love the scenery too glad it's been pretty much left alone and not fully vandalized like it would be in the UK. GL & HH
What I can't believe is that we've raised a couple of generations of young people who are so divorced from the lives of their parents, grandparents and great grandparents that they swallow this tripe about madness and little people. Folks wonder where the evidence is that this was a tourist attraction and that a road every passed it? Turn around. Its right behind you. The evidence of it is overwhelming the sound through the whole video. Yeah, the interstate is newer. We layer roads. We widened and graveled Indian trails, deer paths and buffalo trails because they were the path of least resistance around and over obstacles. Later we ran tracks and canals in the same paths, or paved them for roads. Later still, the most heavily used were torn out and made into four lanes and interstates. The fact that there is an interstate behind you tells you this has always been a heavily traveled route. The America I grew up in in the sixties and seventies was full of little kitschy places like this, built for tourism. Most trolley lines had some kind of attraction at the end of their most remote and lightly traveled route, to make that route profitable. Many of these were still open when I was a kid, although they were starting to close since the trolleys were closing about that time. You kids need to spend some time talking to your parents, grandparents and great grandparents rather than your screens. You might learn something.
+userunavailable3095 It doesn't mean that little people are impossible, that's like saying we are the Only living creatures in the universe,that's nonsense, and yes I agree, detachment from family is on the rise because cell phones and the like became more important along the way and I am sorry that they are truly lost.
Freeways are not always layered over older roads or paths. As a matter of fact, I'd say it's the exact opposite. They are built to bypass or go around cities. All the freeways around me were built from scratch and go through the country where there were no roads at all prior. They look at elevation and regular maps and pick a route and then proceed to buying the land. All the highways and freeways used to go directly through towns, and now they straddle along side them oftentimes in a more direct straight line. In this case it was a gas station on a whiney highway that went around a rock or mountain(?). It was eventually bypassed when they blasted a path through making a straighter freeway (again, a new route where none existed previously, if they built over the existing, it never would have been abandoned in the first place). Which is why the then very bored gas station owner built the village around 1930 due to not having any customers anymore. He had it all lit up and was going to start a nursery but he never got that far. Don't necessarily need grandparents that may not know anything, have wrong recollections, and may not share it if they do know. That is why we have historical societies to document this stuff with accurate info. Just need to know where to look rather than going to rumour mill sites that lie claiming it's madness, little people, fairies, park or trolley atraction, etc...
it seems such a great shame that whoever built these tiny little houses put so much love and attention in to them and they have been left to rot, and you mentioned that rumour has it, these were built by some crazy guy after hearing voices, someone who could build this tiny little village in such detail was far from crazy.
if you watch at 5:45 and on look at the little house in back you can see something go from left to right then it goes left then disappears to back of house. I paused it from frame to frame, it looks like a little person.
+ravenbloodommo Speaking of assuming and making a ass out of yourself, the only beings involved was the gas station owner who was very visible and trying to make a tourist trap so he could get more business. Why assume while accusing others of assuming making yourself a dumb hypocrite. Why not just simply look at the truth and the facts...Welcome - Middlebury Connecticut Historical Society, Middlebury Connecticut, PO Box 104, Middlebury CT 06762 www.middleburyhistoricalsociety.org/little.asp
+Haley don't be afraid of Anything, your only feeding your inner desire to do so and it feeds invisible guests all around you, it also lowers your D.N.A condones and switches them off making you less of the person Jesus made you to be
thanks for this,I was looking at a web site with all the haunted/weird places in Connecticut... makes sense that the village may have been a old roadside attraction.
+NoTraction - Drifting and More! More then likely I didn't think of that. Makes a whole lot of sense tho. But what about the intricate little houses? What's with the little rooms and such?
Should have been a ticket booth, find where that was and detect around it, should find a lot of old change. At least don't give up after one or two hunts... Keep @ it and HH !!
at exactely 7:40 look at the right side of the small house, It looks like something small runs behind the house, so it's not seen.. Do you see it!? then right after that a leaf blows behind the house. What is it ? Is it also just a leaf? idk looks a little dif.to me, compared to the leaf that you can see blow behind the house..🤔
Amazing. I didn't know this place existed. I had a bizarre dream a while back that I visited such a place (as a tourist) and was taking pictures. Now I want to see it.
+Richie Carrasco Angle iron and reinforced concrete is not that old moron. A gas station owner built it cause he was bored. Welcome - Middlebury Connecticut Historical Society, Middlebury Connecticut, PO Box 104, Middlebury CT 06762 www.middleburyhistoricalsociety.org/little.asp
+Richie Carrasco Didn't find any info, so looked up rebar which was also used here. It started to be used starting in the 15th century. So could have been 5,000 years old you ment to say, but this was built around 1930.
Some people went out of there way to destroy what that dude built, like bringing hammers and smashing it up. Why? If I found something like that I would try to save it not wreck it, people, at least some are just shitty. Maybe I'll build me a little village, where no one can wreck it.
I remember in elementary school we would build little houses not for the same reason as this but just for fun and people dedicated their recess everyday just to destroy them
It is not hard to find out that this really was part of the Quassy amusement park--there is no big mystery here. It was originally called the Fairy Village and was part of a trolley ride. The real mystery is why people have to destroy things like this--I understand that there are currently no original structures undamaged by vandalism now.
I was there back in the 90's it's right in back of a day care center... It's actually on the Waterbury, Middlebury line... Isn't it spooky.. No it's not related to Quassey either.. *The old man's wife herd and thought she saw little people and she made him build little houses for the little people* that is the saying.. I was born and raised out there as well but it's an awesome storey... You should go metal detecting up at Dudley Town up in Cornwall CT. Thank You for videoing this brought back some awesome memories!
I can't help but wonder if the little structure you found before 7:54 was a kiln. Seeing the terracotta pieces and the way there was what looked (to me) like an airway underneath of it just made me think of a stone oven or kiln. Neat place, overall! Good luck, and be careful.
it has nothing to do with quasy park,nor any kind of attraction.Some guy built for his wife.She was sick and thought she saw little people,so her husband built all those small house's for whom ever.there's one building that was supposed to be jail,its all broken down now.But some small buildings still there.
It was trashed back when I was a kid growing up in Bunker Hill area.That's what we were told from other people. Too bad,it was cool back in our time.1972.
+peter scozzafava finally someone that knows the truth about this place and not just thinking its some kind of a hoax or some other b.s. Middlebury is right next to my home town in Bethlehem. My Aunt has a polaroid pic of these houses and they always fascinated me. Just such a sad backstory to them though.
As I was told that wife was ill and said there were little people, she told her husband to build everything for them.even back then other kids destroyed a lot of them structures.
that "tiny boot" is a piece of cast aluminum. you can see two corroded bolt holes in the bottom. the "copper" fitting is actually tarnished brass. its most likely a part from an old stove or piece of equipment.
Wrong, it was a gas station. Welcome - Middlebury Connecticut Historical Society, Middlebury Connecticut, PO Box 104, Middlebury CT 06762 www.middleburyhistoricalsociety.org/little.asp
Slow your computer /phone all the way down to 25... starting at frame 1:06, all the way through 1:30 and zoom in all the way towards the rock that looks black. That Thing has eyes and moves around and there's a couple of little people to the left of that thing and in front of it!! But there is plenty more to see... all in that area as well as to the right, in the small trees, over the edge of the platform! Rewind and watch a few times and let me know if you see it too. Thanks and Happy Hunting
+mikes hobbie's and random stuff Aparently there was a guy who owned a gas station nearby and he built this because a new road was built that bypassed his gas stationand he wasn't getting *nearly* as much buisness as he used to, or so I have read.
This Sound ! 9:26 I think they left as they seen Humanity goe insane...what would we do if they still where there ? Japenese would eat them and some insane People put them into a Freak Show !
Little people do exist, but they are in another dimension, and make their presents known when they want. I have seen them and have been touched by them.
When I was a kid a group of them crawled up out of the floor furnace. Go to (about.com) and look up "Tiny Humanoids" and read it, and other related stories. Then try to sleep in the dark at night.
I was 6 years old, no drugs. I thought I was the only one, but I found out kids in Mexico have seen little people and adults in the Northwest United States too. Just look it up in About.com...
My dad told me that my great grandparents met small people face to face, trying to talk to eachother but couldn't because of their language differences. It was at Arizona.
Or maybe a newspaper from when it was built in the 1930's that says it was built by the bored gas station owner that is trying to get more business since the new highway bypasses his gas station. When you want to know the truth it is better to go straight to the source or sources of information that are historical records of when the topic occured. Best not to use made up fictional or fantasy sources to seek the truth.
when i started watching this video kind of ironic that at 55 sec mark into your video there is a tree that looks like a little person in the bark off the tree
