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...

i feel like something is watching him filming this

No one else saw the little person run around the tiny house at 5:47??

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.

5:11 there is a writing help in the wall

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.

It's only spooky if you make it spooky. I think it's kinda cool and someone should try to restore it.

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.

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

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

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.

Would have loved to see this when it first was built. Thanks for sharing.

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.

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 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!!

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.

I think maybe that was built in the Victorian times and the wee houses were built for children to play with.

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

I would so love there!....Thank you for posting, I so appreciate things like this!

I had lived in CT and never heard about this! CT is one of my fave 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 : )

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!

Very interesting to learn about this place itself! Thank you for sharing!

Never knew about this place, thanks for sharing!

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.

It all makes sense, the smurfs.

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.

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. -

11:50 that skull in the brick is terrifying

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.

Looks like the Engineers first built model with the first stone houses amazing! Thanks amazing stories.

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.

He starts metal detecting at 13:00

The little iron boot looks like an old lighter from back in the day. Cool find!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

where did all the little people go,maybe they found a bigger home?

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

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

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.

Would be interesting to know the history behind these remains.

At 5:11 there is help scratched on the wall

Incredibly strange. Thanks for sharing.

The "throne," by the way, is obviously some sort of water feature--it looks like many I have seen in other places.

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.

My mother used to mention the little people she would love this if she was still living

My great uncle built stuff like that in the old country. His garden was full of tiny castles and houses.

Cool of you to share this. Thanks.

Hello from Middlebury Indiana lol nice video very interesting spot

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.

Its a trolley line attraction, I grew up in Cheshire and it was well known this is from Quassy.

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 UKposts. Its very old and no one knows who made it. It's way out in the woods where you can't find it easily.

ʰᵉʸ ᵍᵘᵉˢˢ ʷʰᵃᵗ ⁱ'ᵐ ᵒⁿᵉ ᵒᶠ ᵗʰᵉ ᵛⁱˡˡᵃᵍᵉʳˢ

maybe it was once a village where elves, dwarves or pixies used to live

This is so crazy I live in Danbury like 20 mins away from quassy amusement park.

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 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...:)

2:36 you can hear little foot steps walking

Where is market of them? Where did they purchase building material from? How did they pick so heavy stones? The size of their stones is bigger than their houses.

Nice and weird spot...and looking cold too. Keep up the good videos!

This is so cool! Makes me wish I was a tiny person!!!!!

Pretty spooky area.

The tunnel looks like a mill race, the round "window" might have been for the axle?

Where is the detecting part ? Best regards from Norway

14:31 ,was there a foot in it?

At 5:11 "help" is scratched on the wall

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.

Neat site. I bet there's a place where people had picnics somewhere on the property. GL HH

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.

maybe actual little people? book by Steve Quail called Little Creature may provide more info.

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..🤔

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

I wonder what it looked like when it was whole

am actually one of those people who lived there years ago for any information please contact me thanks!

What a cool site to go on a hunt . Thanks for sharing it . Best wishes .

After WW2 It was common for familes to take driving trips and there were thousands of roadside attractions, and you say you are next to I-84 that at one time was a main Interstate route... which is where all these were ...along Interstaes, then I 95 was built and these places went away...

Gargamel ate them 😂

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!!!!!!

I can't believe this isn't being explored further and I find it very disturbing that the power company is wrecking the site

Sorry for being a sceptical visitor but I think this is a very old PET Cemetery. The buildings are mosoleums and the fancy glass in the ground was a casket. I know you didn't start the tale of it being a little people village. But looking inside the buildings aren't finished as if someone could live in them. All the buildings have square openings and are morbidly designed. It's just an old PET Cemetery. And it looks like it won't be there much longer because there seems to be construction going on next to it. Soon they will build on top over it. Note: How did I know this. I've been in the death business many years. I've seen alot. And that my friend is no place for the living Of any size....

15:52 creep me out

9:40 Game of Thrones for Midget People.

DEBUNKED: "The Fairy Village." It was operated from around 1900 til sometime in the early 1930s, on the trolley line to Lake Quassy. The "normal sized" house was actually a gift shop and the "throne" was part of an elaborate fountain/water distribution set up (to get water to the fairy houses) in the midst of some floral gardens. - See more at: www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/13581#sthash.QCa1I0IA.dpuf

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.

NO WAY was this done by ONE man. What if.......

What a cool place.

This was part of the Lake Quassy Amusement Park. It was abandoned around 1930. There used to be a trolly line nearby.

The brass fitting is from a light. It's the part a bulb screws in to.

its a small world after all its a small world after alllll.....ok ok in all seriousnes i think it was mabey something a group of people did as a scale model for something either as an attraction or mabey just a school or family project. who knows it may of been some where the kids could play.

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.

these things must at least built 10 to 30 years ago by just looking at the condition of metals that were used in this tiny village.

There's something or someone at 5:48-5:49 in the background??

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 !

weird place...

Was it some sort of attraction that never took off and was abandoned? So interesting!

The little houses that's amazing like a small village how adorable.
