Back in the 1980's, I listed some new construction homes in the Voluntown area.  A local builder, HLM Development, had about 15 lots in the area of Congdon Road, plus a few more over on Hell Hollow Road.  I remember my first ride out to Hell Hollow Road. I asked the builder incredulously, "You are going to build houses here???"    We entered from the Town of Sterling end and there wasn't even electricity in some sections.  It was mighty desolate.  He did end up  building houses there. They were small houses with very very deep wells.  I remember the builder had a heck of a time drilling for water.  I was able to sell them fairly quickly.  It really is beautiful country and the prices were very affordable for new construction.

I had no idea!!!   Kerry, our Client Care Manager, mentioned that her daughter Katie wanted to go to Hell Hollow Road on Halloween to visit Maude's Grave.  She sent me a link to a site describing Haunted Places in Connecticut, which includes a grave site on Hell Hollow Road.  It seems, according to legend, an Indian girl named Maude was killed by English soldiers in a section of forest off Hell Hollow Road. Her ghost (this is legend remember) has been appearing for 100 years near her grave site (pile of rocks) located there.  Observers have seen orbs and claim to feel an "ominous presence."  But here's the best part and the reason teenagers flock to the place....  "When riding in a car and her name is uttered by her grave site, the car is supposed to either stall or crash.  

Kerry, if you are going tonight - I vote for stall.
