Abandoned Dudleytown & Durán Sanatorium

Sinister Sisters

In this week's episode, it’s haunted towns in Connecticut all the way to haunted hospitals in Costa Rica!
Lauren explores the abandoned settlement and real life “ghost town” of Dudleytown in northwestern Connecticut. Settled in the early 1740s, this town (which was never an actual town) has been closed to the public since the mid-1900s. Was it a curse placed on the Dudley family that caused the demise of Dudleytown? And do ghosts still haunt this ghost town?
Then from North America to South America, Felicia explores another possibly haunted, definitely deserted location - the Durán Sanatorium! Built in 1918 to treat tuberculosis patients as well as an asylum for the mentally ill, it was later used as an orphanage and then a prison. That is, until it was abandoned in the 1970s after the Irazú Volcano erupted nearby and damaged the building. Guess that’s why they call it the most haunted place in Costa Rica!
