Metal Detecting The Abandoned Little People's Village

- This is mostly a sightseeing trip to the Little People's Village in Middlebury, CT in April 2014. I do a little metal detecting towards the end at 13:00. As I expected, there is way too much junk in the ground to find anything interesting. I do manage to score 32 cents in clad and a wheat penny.
The Little People's Village is rumored to be haunted. Not much is known about it's origins. It was said to be built by an old man who heard voices that told him to build all the tiny houses and bizarre structures.
It is also said to have been part of Quassy amusement park. I haven't seen any actual evidence of this. Whatever it was, it was once very elaborate and strange. There is evidence of elaborate water features all around. There were originally more buildings but many have collapsed and decayed or destroyed by fire and vandalism. - บันเทิง
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...
What if i piss on it? I did that once
Yukinne Kobayashi LMAO
Wow great story
Where is this place
@@drlilangel68 Middlebury, CT.
i feel like something is watching him filming this
keisya azzahra.w I feel like there's something watching me watch him filming,,,hey,,what? Some guys behind me lookin at my ass????
Mee too
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!
yeah like...gnomes...
@@joshuafante2689 that show and all the actors are fake, paid to keep you distracted till its to late, oh welp, time's up
No one else saw the little person run around the tiny house at 5:47??
Me I comment it too
Looks like a dead leaf to me blowing in the wind.
@@Not-Ap i thought maybe but its kinda curious looking haha
@@zr2578 dope someone who could see it haha
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
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.
Andrew Tornadoboy That would be OK seeing as how, all the little people moved underground.
Andrew Tornadoboy I don't think it should be put in a park as they may get vandalised ... I think they should be put in a museum for history
Yeah, if you want to piss off the faeries, then go right ahead.
That was very impressive , to think that someone had the time to build toes little houses and the effort to required is amazing ! Thanks for sharing
+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
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.
Who built that houses ?
vrccb your so right! What a shame!
vrccb that sounds like the way God made me and the same way I turned out.
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.
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.
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 perfect way to disguise a little persons inhabitants
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
You are almost right and almost wrong, never said it was owned by Quassy, not sure where your getting your info from but its wrong.
It's too bad something from the twenties is just being allowed to be destroyed
Doubt it.
5:48ish it looks like some small runs in the structure on the other side of the trees
omg yea, right in the centre
I.see it
It's only spooky if you make it spooky. I think it's kinda cool and someone should try to restore it.
Gather people up, I'll be one of them. To repair the homes.
My thoughts exactly
5:11 there is a writing help in the wall
your right i also saw it
Yes right end off 5:11 i also saw it
@@rafa428 lmfao bro it's obviously some guy trying to troll by writing Help
I had lived in CT and never heard about this! CT is one of my fave place!!! Thanks for sharing!
Would have loved to see this when it first was built. Thanks for sharing.
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.
I thought it and it's true. Thanks sir for the real facts you tell us.
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.
What state was that in if you don’t mind me asking?
I would so love there!....Thank you for posting, I so appreciate things like this!
That is so cool I really do believe in little peoples I wish I could be one of them and live forever it will be nice
r u crazy
Uhm- I don't think-
say whatt...
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.
Little people do exist my father seen one in reality
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.
+Simple Man's Metal Detecting that is very true so long as people realize Anything in this fake reality Is possible, "likes the way you think>>
Very interesting to learn about this place itself! Thank you for sharing!
Never knew about this place, thanks for sharing!
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 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.
something to that effect
Looks like the Engineers first built model with the first stone houses amazing! Thanks amazing stories.
The little iron boot looks like an old lighter from back in the day. Cool find!
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
SAMEEE I’m from Alaska too an elder told me abt this one!
@F - 22 RAPTOR you can't, there low vibration entities.
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.
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
+Little John and hunting isn't vandalizing
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.
11:50 that skull in the brick is terrifying
+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
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
alt ctrlesc because of lack in knowledge over all still very low compared to japanese people.in another way of saying too many stupid people
Incredibly strange. Thanks for sharing.
Cool of you to share this. Thanks.
It all makes sense, the smurfs.
Hahahahahaha😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

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
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.
I bet it was a roadside attraction, like you said. Kind of reminds me of the part in Disney's Cars when the interstate is put in and the town was forgotten. It's amazing how things can disappear from memory, once you stop seeing it. Also I think the ''Button'' or ''Pipe fitting'' is a battery terminal cleaner. Just a guess but kind of resembles one.
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!
I agree completely! But he said the power company was also to fault here
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.
-.-
Jennifer Kennedy that true
Agreed
He starts metal detecting at 13:00
Nice and weird spot...and looking cold too. Keep up the good videos!
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. -
I think maybe that was built in the Victorian times and the wee houses were built for children to play with.
Anita Shaw nope it was owned by a gas station
Anita Shaw seems legit
I THINKHE ACTUALLY DID DO IS HE OR SHE
Even your explanation makes more sense Anita. There is no scientific/archeological evidence for little people in North America.
Could be amazing stories.
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
ʰᵉʸ ᵍᵘᵉˢˢ ʷʰᵃᵗ ⁱ'ᵐ ᵒⁿᵉ ᵒᶠ ᵗʰᵉ ᵛⁱˡˡᵃᵍᵉʳˢ
My great uncle built stuff like that in the old country. His garden was full of tiny castles and houses.
Hello from Middlebury Indiana lol nice video very interesting spot
My mother used to mention the little people she would love this if she was still living
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!
The "throne," by the way, is obviously some sort of water feature--it looks like many I have seen in other places.
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.
We are the only living creatures in the universe? No horses? No elephants? No bacteria?
yes sir grandpa!
You are quite confused, but amusing.
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...
Would be interesting to know the history behind these remains.
What a cool site to go on a hunt . Thanks for sharing it . Best wishes .
Thanks for watching.
Its a trolley line attraction, I grew up in Cheshire and it was well known this is from Quassy.
always wanted to put some roman ruins out in the woods of northern Calif. let'em try to Figure that out 300 years from now.
+melbea03 .tonto omg that's funny cool>>>>
How to be a headache generator 101 right here lol
😂😂😂😂
That's probably why we see half the monuments we do lol... hey let's do this so the future people scratch there heads and are like wtf.
maybe someone can go in and dig out the walk way and restore the place to what it looked like before? theres bound to be photos of it from before.
This is so crazy I live in Danbury like 20 mins away from quassy amusement park.
Thanks for clearing that up.Never heard about rabbits.
Pretty spooky area.
I love that little place...I wish I could buy it and keep it...maybe even fix it up...but I wouldn't want to ruin the originality of it...:)
I can't believe this isn't being explored further and I find it very disturbing that the power company is wrecking the site
There's a little village on Madeleine island on lake superior. It was kept secret for many yrs but now a few more know about it. I was sworn to secrecy when i was little, but i'm pretty sure you can find it on TH-cam. Its very old and no one knows who made it. It's way out in the woods where you can't find it easily.
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.
His intelligence got the best of him 😉😆😀😄🤣🤗
maybe it was once a village where elves, dwarves or pixies used to live
+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?
you know about the story of little poeple called barower from japanese cartoon movie???
:O DO YOU THINK TINKERBELL EXISTS!?!?!
Nope, it was a gas station. Historical society is a great place to learn things.
+Metalpazallteway Bored gas station owner building a tourist destination to get more business.
guy: it looks aband- *little guy walks out of house* :are you the pizza guy?
Why I am watching this, Doctor?
Why am I secretly hoping to see a little creature escaping into the wood?
I need vacations.
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.
+Manish Jaitly So, little as in Oompaloompa sized, not so much 2 inches. That seems a little more probable than 2 inches tall
2:36 you can hear little foot steps walking

Good job. Enjoyed watching.

It was a gas station so no little people.

As I was looking at this, I thought that maybe it was a putt putt place (miniature golf). Ours local used to look a lot like that.
Have a similar story on my reservation in NE about an old guy that would always feed the little ppl and for some reason or another (maybe became sick) he stopped and then a few weeks went by and someone went to check on him. He was in his backyard crawling around. Knees were bloodied to the bone. Elders say thats why you leave them be. They can make you lose your mind. We leave all the supernatural be unless it's supposed to "move on" idk. Another 1 that's scary but we ain't supposed to talk about it.
14:31 ,was there a foot in it?
+elchoya100 some 1 big built their village for them obviousely
am actually one of those people who lived there years ago for any information please contact me thanks!
Lol really? My discord is AkonTube#2525 I would love to interview you for a video
Looked like a fun one with diffrent levels to bank your golf ball off of.love mini golf.
The tunnel looks like a mill race, the round "window" might have been for the axle?
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.
Yea and show it off for the holidays too
ya? and you gonna take it with you when you die?
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
Most people are shitty. So few left who are decent.
15:52 creep me out
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.
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 5:11 "help" is scratched on the wall
Holy shit
PunkNDisorderlyGamer Wow, that's eerie!
WTF
PunkNDisorderlyGamer I don't see it.. Where is it?
On the right it's on the big grey concrete slab.
What a cool place.
Was it some sort of attraction that never took off and was abandoned? So interesting!
That 'main structure' looks like a Mill, the concrete slots is the mill outrace, where the water from the diverted river left the mill after it had gone thru the water drive turbines
weird place...
maybe actual little people? book by Steve Quail called Little Creature may provide more info.
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.
@@frankrizzo8175 what about the experiences of people?
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.

Where it is found?
on 5:58 u will heer a high pich scream i think its one of the tiny people or maybe a baybe screamin or both!!!!!!
Doubt it since there were no tiny people at all.
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.
It used to be a gas station, but who knows where he all got his supplies from.
oh wow! wish we had summit like this in England. alot of effort has been put into those little houses and now there destroyed.. shame!
