"Here is the collection of my trips to Dudleytown. MY name is Chris Diorio, if you wanna post this on the site or whatever, feel free.
MAY 1999-My first trip to Dudleytown. This trip came more out of curiousity and boredom then the desire to do any actual ghost hunting. There were eight of us total. We packed into two cars and made our way there, hopeing we'd be able to find it. We made our way up one entrance, and about half way up a lady drove up and ordered us to leave. We turned around and looked for another entrance. After more searching, we found a second entrance, Dark Entry Road. We made it up safely and parked our cars. Our group consisted of five girls and three guys. We got out of the cars and surveyed the area, noticing that it was very quiet, and curiously cold for an evening in May. We heard sounds in the woods, and immediatly half our group refused to go any further. That caused two other members of the group to stay with them, which left two of us. Initially, I began walking up the path alone until they called me back and devised a new plan. The six of them would go to a nearby gas station and wait for us, while us two went up the path. Well, we decided to try out the car we would drive. My friend stuck the key in the ignition, and it wouldn't turn. They claimed he put the key in backwards, however, that can't be the case. If you've ever tried to put a key in backwards, its not that easy. You have to FORCE it in backwards. The key just slid in. So there we were. We had to pile 8 of us into one car, drive back and get a tow truck, which refused to go up there until the next morning. It was later speculated by a friend of ours that a spirit may have caused the mechanical problem with the car, but thats just speculation.
JULY 10, 2000-My second trip to Dudleytown would not happen until a year later. The same friend who speculated about the car decided to take us up there on a ghost investigation. He was well versed in the area and led a group of five of us up there. We photographed both Dark Entry and the Bald Mountain entrance. Both areas produced "Spirit Orbs" or "globules". We also noted the absence of sound, the extreme cold, and the fact that two of our members complained of stomach cramps. Also present was the unmistakeable odor of ammonia on Bald Mountain.
JULY 12, 2000-A second investigateive trip. We photographed the same two entrances. Neither produced any conclusive results.
AUGUST 24, 2000-The big one. This would be the first time that I would lead a group up to Dudleytown on a paranormal investiagion. We managed to stuff 11 people into two cars and made our way up there. Our first task was to investigate Dark Entry with 2 flashlights between the 11 of us. As soon as we arrived, we again noticed the distinct silence and eerie cold. As we made our way up the path, most of us had the feeling that we were being followed or watched by some unseen presence. It was rather uneventful, until we got deeper into the woods. Myself and another member of our group noticed a white "creature" roughly the size of a raccoon making it's way towards us. We yelled for the member with the camera to take a picture, but when he attempted to take the picture our camera "froze" and refused to take a picture. At this point, 8 of the 11 members of our group turned and ran in the other direction at the site of this creature. Included in this group of 8 were the two members who possessed the flashlights. The three of us who stayed back were forced to run back with them in order not to get enveloped by the darkness.As soon as we felt safely away from the creature, we resumed a walking pace. Without warning, the camera suddenly flashed two pictures without anyone pressing the button on it. Almost as if the camera had "paused" while in the presence of the creature. The member holding the camera claimed as the flash went in his eyes, he could see a face. We piled back into the car and after much convincing, we went up the Mohawk entrance. In my car there were 6 people, in the car behind us there were 5. We went rather fast up the Mohwak entrance, and stopped at the top to take some photographs. On the way down, we noticed what we first thought was a campfire out in the woods, so we stopped our car and photographed the campfire. Upon closer inspection, we realized this campfire was, in fact, moving and blinking. It would go orange, disappear, then reapper as white, disappear then reappear as orange again. We went about 100 feet down the road, and turned back around to get a better picture. By the time we got back to the spot, roughly 20 seconds later, the light was gone. Again, we turned our cars around and head back down the road. As we were heading down the road, me and two members in my car saw what appeared to be a light that looked like lights from a mack truck hitting the ground, except there was no mack truck. The light came right at my car, then proceeded to go THROUGH my car. We would later find out that the other car did not see the light, indicating that the light "disappeared" after it went through my car. Let me say this, there is a lot of speculation on whether or not Dudleytown is haunted, and you can explain a lot of the things that happen up there using logic. But there is no logical explenation for this light what so ever. This convinced me, completely and irrevocably, that there are spirits present in Dudleytown, and one of them went through my car. In a hurry, we drove back to our meeting spot in the town we lived and gathered our thoughts. 5 of our members decided to go home, but we picked up two new members, including my friend who had originally brought us up there. We piled 5 people into my car and three into the other car. On our way up there, the three people into my friends car, and myself in my car, all saw what was a huge white light fly above Dudleytown. It appeared, flew about 15 feet across the sky, then disappeared again. We went up the same two entrances and took photographs. Both photographs revealed spirit orbs. Also noted was that on our second trip up, at roughly 3:00 AM, almost simultaneously two members of our group felt weird. One had a stabbing pain in his arm, the other complained she had a headache.
SEPTEMBER 4, 2000-Another photograph mission. Photos revealed spirit orbs, and one photo appeared to reveal a "psychic fog"/
SEPTEMBER 10, 2000-Photograph mission. No results.
SEPTEMBER 21, 2000-I led a group of three up Dark Entry road for a hike. There was the usual silence and cold, but we did not see or hear anything out of the ordinary.
SEPTEMBER 28, 2000-Only two of us went up this time. We both felt the same feeling of being watched and dread as we did on our fateful August 24th mission. We decided to turn back, since we did not have a camera with us.
SEPTEMBER 29-2000-I brought a different friend up. We went up Dark Entry and stopped my car to just listen for a second. In the woods we heard a russling, then a short, deep throated growl. We waited a few seconds, then heard the same deep throated growl again, this time however it lasted much longer. Deciding discretion was the better part of valor, we turned around and left. Also this time there were two bouquets of black flowers on a sign near one of the entrances.
October 4,` 2000: We went on a photograph mission. One photo showed globules. Also, the sign this time had only one bouquet of black flowers. When we photographed the sign, which was yellow, in the photo it reflected the light as if it were a mirror.
October 6, 2000: I did not attend this mission, but my two friends who went up noticed that there were NO black flowers on the sign this time.

Recently,a friend and i went up to Dudleytown. We walked in from the Dark Entry Road side at about 3pm on Nov. 4th, 2000. We followed the path along the small stream, past the waterfall and the washed-out bridge (or dam, whatever it once was). We crossed the stream and continued following a path.
Eventually we came out on what looked like a narrow, dirt country road. We made a right and followed the road. We found another road on the left and we took that. We came to a chain strung across the road with some PVC piping in it. We stepped over and continued walking until we found a run-down contemporary home on a hill. A newspaper in the root cellar was dated 1996 and the house had obviously not been used since. We sat for a moment in their enclosed porch for a moment for a cigarrette.
By this time it was beginning to get dark, so we decided to head back. It took us about 45 minutes to get back to the car. When we got there, i realized that i had left my car keys on the table in the porch of that house. We would have to go back. That is when it got strange.
While we were walking back up the path along the stream not far from Dark Entry Road, i heard something high in the trees off to the right. I shone my flashlight around in time to see a large branch hit the ground on the steep embankment heading down to the stream. We continued on. A few hundred feet farther, we heard the same sort of sound again. Only this time, I did not see anything falling from the trees. We continued on. A few hundred feet farther, we heard the unmistakable sound of a rock richocheting off of a stone wall off to the right.
This was in late November and there was positively no way for anybody to have been following us without being heard with all of the leaves on the ground. This was not some person trying to scare us. We made it to the road as before and made our way back to the house without incident (except for a false scare when i saw the beam of my light reflected off the eyes of a deer up ahead standing in the road). We found my keys and headed back.
On the way back, in the same area as before, we heard something again. It sounded something like a donkey-call, only not as deep....more high-pitched. I suppose it could have been a bird or something. We walked a few feet and then heard the sound again, only closer this time. I could not see anything in the area where the sound came from (somewhere near the stream or on the embankment). We continued walking and heard it again....several of these strange sounds one after another instead of just once...and closer again.
We walked back to the car and left. But i swear to God that there is no way in Hell anybody could have been following us that quarter of a mile or so without being heard. I took some pictures while we were there, but have not had them developed yet....
