Is the abandoned village of Bara-Hack haunted?
In this episode of Ghostly, we explore Bara-Hack and the chilling legends and firsthand accounts from one of New England’s most haunted ruins. From ghostly babies in trees and a bearded apparition floating over a cemetery wall to disembodied voices, phantom wagon wheels, and tales of a land cursed by the displaced Nipmuc people—Bara-Hack earns its nickname: The Village of Voices. Is it all folklore, or has something truly lingered in the ruins for over a century?
Questions Discussed in this Episode
What is Bara-Hack, and why was it abandoned? Why is Bara-Hack called the “Village of Voices”? What ghostly sightings have been reported in Bara-Hack? Who first reported hauntings in the village—and what did they see? What are some of the most famous supernatural phenomena at Bara-Hack? Is there any truth to the legend of a curse placed by the Nipmuc people? What did paranormal investigators experience during their visits in the 1970s? Are there any firsthand accounts from modern-day visitors? What makes Bara-Hack stand out among New England’s haunted locations? Could the strange experiences be explained by natural or psychological causes—or is something else at play?
