I have gone there numerable times and really need to tell my story because one night four of my friends and family had an extraordinary, paranormal experience that now needs to be told on film. I will be coming from New Mexico where I live in the next month to do the Documentary. I hope you will contact me while I am there. I became a minister,pycho-therapist & Dr. of Divinity probably because of my experiences in Lost Villiage and our farm down the road. They were very profound and it is time to reveal it. I will be the eighth generation of my family who has lived in Pomfret/Abington. I am looking forward to this project.

As a 15 year old teenager I skipped school one day and stumbled onto Lost Villiage. I had an amazing experience that day and then later that night went and saw our family friend Henry Chase. I will be the eighth generation on my mother's side that have lived in Pomfret/Abington. She married my father Alfred Arnold and I was born on Mashomoquet Farm. In Nipmunck Indian it means "Good Fishing." I have had many many experiences there and also a very powerful paranormal experience with 3 others one night that I am currently working on for a Documentary. The movie is based on my real experience living so close to Lost Village. I hope I will be able to meet you when I come back to CT in the next month. I reside in Santa FE, New Mexico. An extrodinary experience all four of us had got me heavily into psychology & spirituality. I even built a cedar house on the road to commemorate this incredible and wonderful experience we all had one evening. I have two Master's in Jungian Psychology; a Dr. in Divinity and became a registered psychotherapist in New Mexico for over 15 years,mostly for the reasons you will see when the Documentary will be finished. Right now the working title is "Finally the Truth." I grew up right down the road and our property basically went past the bridge over the brook.

The stone carvings appeared recently. These are an instance of vandalism, not history. I would not believe much of what you read on bara-hack.com, there are so many errors! You should pick up a copy of Folklore and Firesides of Pomfret, Hampton and Vicinity from Amazon, Ebay, Wonderland Books or the town library. You'll find a bit more information about Bara-Hack and enough stories about the rest of town to make this place seem like a snore! Geologically speaking, the land around Bara-Hack forms a bowl, causing unusually echos and sound reverberation. I have experienced some truly unusual things in Bara-Hack though. There is truly something unique about those woods. One time a friend and I were walking on the main path and a large black object swept across the path in front of us. It was the size of a blanket, but was weightless and faster than a human could move. It didn't make contact with the ground. Another time a deflated metallic balloon was lying on the leaves in the woods. I went home and the next morning my mother sent me outside to investigate an object stuck in an oak tree behind our house (a mile or two from Bara-Hack). On my way towards the object it dropped from the tree. It was the metallic balloon, with the same yellow ribbon. To make it worse it had a smiley face on it. I know it sounds ridiculous, and I know they could have both been part of a recently released bouquet of balloons, but it still sent strong shivers round my body. I don't believe in "ghosts" or "THE unexplained," but I do believe that trying to explain everything is just as absurd. “Bara-Hack” translates to “the breaking of bread,” as in communion.

This can be determined by going to Pomfret or equivalent town hall and looking it up. Otherwise I would say go at your own risk. I went a couple years ago and had a very peaceful visit there. Make sure you respect others property! This is a historical treasure. You would first have to find who owns the property.
