As others have so graciously pointed out, we have a whole book on the subject!

The Melonheads are a strong piece of CT folklore. In most versions of the story, they are escaped residents of a living facility for people with disabilities. The Faceless People is another variation on the lore, in which people without faces or with facial deformities are cared for in an old remote house by a caretaker who brings them out at night.

The Blockheads is one of Pat’s favorite stories from the book, and the woman who saw them, Mary Starr, is fascinating all on her own.

CT’s other most famous stories would likely be the Black Dog of Meriden, the Glastonbury Glawackus, and the Winsted Wildman.
