Bara-Hack
Located
off Rt.97 in Pomfret, the lost village of Bara-Hack, often
referred to as the “village of ghostly voices”, lies eerily
dormant deep within the woods of northeastern Connecticut.
The village was founded and first settled in 1790 by the two
Welsh settlers Obadiah Higginbotham and John Randall. They
named the town “bara-hack”, a Welsh term meaning “breaking
of bread”.
Today Bara-Hack is little more than an overgrown cow path.
It’s remains include some old stone foundations, cellar
holes and a graveyard. Those that have dared to venture into
the lost village have reported hearing disembodied voices,
the laughter of children and the rumble of a horse-drawn
carriage traveling along a ghostly road. We do not recommend
anyone go to Bara-Hack. The village lies within the
boundaries of private property that is sufficiently dotted
with the occasional “No Trespassing” sign. |
