Warning: If you don't want to know what happened in this episode, don't read this photo recap!
The Dudleytown Settlement near Cornwall Bridge, Connecticut, has long been considered a Village of the Damned. People believe it is robust with dark energy and legends of former residence meeting violent deaths persist. The land where the settlement existed in the 1700s is now private property.

Residents in the surrounding areas are worried that the "curse of Dudleytown" has spread. Robin owns the property, house and guesthouse near Dudleytown, and has called in TAPS to investigate the paranormal experiences that have her family on edge.

The original house was built in the early 1700s, with several renovations, additions and moves over the years. Records show at least nine deaths have occured on the property. Robin is worried about the black figures, and entity of a man that was seen. Even without the Dudleytown curse these incidents are unsettling.

Two different families were previous owners of the house. Several children died on the property from odd causes like drowning or being kicked by a horse. One woman suffered tremendous tragedy in the home. Her husband, two children, mother and granddaughter all died in the house. Robin herself was hit by a truck right after she moved into the house. Coincidence? Or cursed property?

Robin has had other bizarre experiences. One night a black shadow appeared near her bed and seemed to drain the energy out of her. In the children's bedrooms people wake up to a shaking bed. One child tried to get up but felt hands holding him down.

This young woman was sleeping when a cold hand wrapped around her ankle and then jerked the bed. Other claims were of a female apparition doing laundry in the basement, someone heading up the stairs of the guesthouse and a disembodied voice that mimics Robin. Are these presences evil? Are they affiliated with the Dudleytown curse? Let's hope TAPS gives them some answers about what is causing these phenomena.

There are two buildings on the property, and the team is short staffed as Shari couldn't be there. But Jason is confident they will be able to conduct a thorough investigation.
203901
Jason and Steve explore the main house basement, but are distracted by footsteps upstairs.
203902
Samantha and Jason hear strange banging noises in the guesthouse, but Sam is quick to discover that it is actually the windows rattling. It's likely that the windows are a source of a lot of unexplained noises in this old house.
203903
After 10 minutes of investigating, Steve needs a nap. Jason pokes fun at his buddy via the walkie talkie, while Tango keeps a look out for any suspicious activity.
203904
Dustin and K.J. use an EMF detector to communicate in the main house bedroom. When they ask for "Mary", the device blasts off a high reading.
203905
Jason is able to get a response on the vibration detector, but it's not consistently able to answer his questions. Come on, spirit, cooperate!
203906
Tango catches evidence of what sounds like a giggle on tape, but it is so quick that it's hard to tell what the noise could be. They also catch a voice in the boy's bedroom that blows them away. That's some solid evidence.
203907
The voice caught on the recording is exactly what Robin and her guests have been experiencing. Sadly, the evidence doesn't answer any specific questions. But there is no reason to be worried, there is no sense of a malicious activity.
203908
On to Wrightsville, Pennsylvania, where two chefs at a restaurant are claiming to hear the ghost of a little girl running around. The only difference is, one chef hears it in the John Wright Restaurant, the other hears it in the nearby Wrightsville house. This will be a dual investigation.
203909
The Wrightsville house has been an inn since the 1800s. Client Scott lived at the inn when he first came to town to work at the restaurant.
203910
The John Wright restaurant was once an early 20th century soap mill. Many people, including children, died while working there. Both chefs now believe the 2 buildings are haunted. Claims include a female apparition, doors slamming, footsteps, an imprint of a being in a bed and staff members being pushed. Scott is concerned that the little girl may be following him. Can TAPS get to the bottom of it?
203911
KJ and Sam find elevated EMF levels in the bedroom, but that wouldn't explain the footsteps claim. In the basement, Steve and Jason hear humming noises. But overall, the team didn't have any significant experiences or find any evidence. That doesn't mean there isn't a haunt, if there is a haunt, it's probably residual, which is nothing to fear.
