The haunting of Dudley Road began in an unlikely place at a local nunnery according to local legends. The story goes that sometime in the early 19th century, several nuns from the nearby Daughters of St. Paul convent were discovered to be practicing witchcraft. In the end, these unfortunate women were condemned to hang without a trial.

Rumor has it, once the women discovered that they were going to be condemned to death, some of them fled from the convent and ran across a field near present-day Dudley Road. The nuns were eventually captured and hanged in that field. One story states that in the 1950s, a young nun got lost while making her way back to the convent and was struck by a car on Dudley Road, and some claim that her spirit has been seen standing on the side of the road.

The legends go on to say that a nearby house was the place where the nuns would practice their magic. The house to this day is still standing, even though it has sunk into the ground up to the second-story windows. Reports claim that voices and strange odors emanate from this building at night.
