For Sale: Abandoned Connecticut Village

A Halloween special?

Online bidding began on Tuesday for an entire village in Connecticut named Johnsonville, an abandoned town in the Moodus section of East Haddam, Ray Hardman reports on wnpr.org.

Legend has it -- and auctioneers have exploited the notion -- that Johnsonville is haunted.

“The buildings are all empty, but it looks pretty good, David Collins, a columnist recently wrote, according to Hardman.
