Faceless People
Photo by Kate FrankIn the article, it also mentioned that the term 'Melungeon' was sometimes bastardized into 'Melon Head.' So, it's possible - although I have no evidence to prove this, and I'm no anthropologist - that at one point, there was a group of people living quietly and independently in the backwoods of Connecticut who had characteristics similar to the Melungeon, and somehow got branded as such. Then, over time, that got changed to Melon Head, and since people tend to fear what they don't know about or understand, the stories of boogie-man horror were attributed to them.That ignorance was passed down through the years, and the rest, as they say, is legendary.

Photo by Kate Frank Our Damned Experience: Well, when I saw how close it was to our place of employment, I immediately dragged my non-believing friend (with some resistance) and another co-worker out on our lunch hour to take a ride down ol' Melon Head Road. Being the middle of the day it was hardly a spooky ride, but as we drove along Saw Mill City Road, I could see why people might want to believe this could be Melon Head stomping grounds - it's a narrow, twisting road past the Means Brook Reservoir and through isolated woods with lots of 'No Trespassing' signs along the way. The roadway even becomes dirt for a short portion - while driving, I surreptitiously slipped my car into neutral, revved the gas hard and said, 'Oh no, the chain fell off! We're screwed!' Which brought one of the best momentary expressions of abject horror I've ever had the pleasure of creating on another person's face (my wife and kids included).Needless to say, it was a pretty - and uneventful - drive. No banjo-playin' mutants, no being bent over logs, no squealing like pigs, no Melon Heads.
Then again, it was daytime, so who knows what happens after dark? Photo by Ray Bendici Update: On a spooky and misty day in December 2008, we returned to Saw Mill City Road and also paid a visit to Velvet Street, cameras in hand. We took a bunch of photos and although we were hoping to see a mailbox with a telling name on it like 'M. Ellen Head,' we didn't encounter any mutants (unless you count the lone postman sitting alone in his truck sleeping or texting someone - we couldn't tell, and to be honest, we hope that's all he was doing).If You Go: As mentioned, the three 'Melon Head Roads' that we know of are Zion Hill Rd. In Milford, Velvet Street in Trumbull and Saw Mill City Rd.

Hydrocephalus-the increased accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid within the ventricles of the brain. This condition may happen to infants, children or even adults, and causes various types of deformatiies of the head and face. There are surgical procedures today for some of these cases.
In the past anyone who had a child or a family member that was deformed in any way was a cause for family shame and was often hidden away. to post commentsSubmitted by mike (not verified) on Sun, - 2:07pm.
Well ray you should have asked. The melonheads house is about a mile down on the right side of velvet road coming from the tashua side of trumbull. The property had an abandoned paddleball court and an abandoned outdoor pool. (apparently the melonheads had some money) they were very well alive and fruitful(pardon the pun) around 1980, and growing up in trumbull, my friends and i would frequent 'dracula drive' often for keg parties at the reservoir. No one was ever hurt, but many were scared for real!
Oh those were the days. to post comments. What a terrific night I had with my son, after a day at wolf park for the end of school year fun, the teacher as well as some students decided for some odd reason to bring up melon heads, well my son at night time would not go to bed, he wouldn't even go to the bathoom by himself, after an hour of explaining about how it was just a tale that someone made up, he still won't GO TO SLEEP! For the record I grew up in stevenson, monroe and this is the first I'm hearing about it. Lets face it folks if they were real and still around and canabals as I was told, I think people would have reported people missing and it would be all over the news. Thank You to my sons teacher for sharing.
Bet she had a great nights sleep!. to post commentsSubmitted by stephanie (not verified) on Mon, - 7:56am. My family and i went to Dracula Drive and we were looking for melon heads but we saw a racoon after that my sister and my dad were looking out the window and they saw something run so fast and they thought it was a melon head and i was so scared that night.My aunt lives on that street so when i was little we walked on Dracula Drive and i did not know about this when i was little.Today my dad told me that he worked at the hospitol that the melon heads exscaped from but he did not work there he just fixed the alarms.THE END. to post comments. I grew up close to Velvet St. In Monroe in the 70's. Close enough that I would ride my bike there.
One kid in school in the 70's told a story of fighting off Mellon heads on Velvet St. I'm sure he was full of BS, but it was fun to hear.I have ridden my bike down that road and also drove to work going out of my way using Velvet St. Never got the feeling there was anything strange there. Nice place to see wild life.I also remember my cousins talking about Mellon Heads in Stratford back around 1970. Seems this story is all over Connecticut. Kind of neat to have our own legend so close to home. to post comments.
I took a drive down Velvet St. Because I never went there, I was a bit apprehensive. It was during the day. All I can feel was that the road being narrow and very long felt quite disturbing. I don't like the feeling of not knowing what is ahead.
It's kind of like leading a hike to nowhere. I got halfway and decided to turn around.
I know that if the road is traveled all the way it will lead to Monroe. As a child I heard so many stories about the Melonheads. In the past we used to try to search for them. Mostly under the influence of beer or other substances; It became more of a novelty then an all out serious search, we never really went about it in a constructive manner.
Today I've been doing research on these elusive creatures finding the story very interesting but not totally convincing. Although my curiosity brings me back and it's an interesting story, I have to say that I have not yet come in contact with these melonheads but I won't give up trying. to post comments. My Friend told me that her and her friends steaked out Zion Hill Rd in milford and they saw a melon head get out of the car and open the trunk and take a large cooler out covered in blood and carry it in the house and the the melon head got back in the car a reved his engine and drove at the stopping 2 feet from hitting them She also to me that the witches of milford lived in those woods and hung people from the trees and the nooses are still there hanging in the trees.WoW scary. to post comments. My friends and i went to go look for melon heads last night on Velvet road, and we didnt really find anything. My friend 'claimed' he saw something run across the street like a hundred yards behind us but for real theres animals in the woods.
I think its all in your head and you freak yourself out. We got out of the car and walked up and down the street and a little in the woods and we didnt find anything except some large footprints which is probably from someone doing the samething we were. Yes i admit some really weird things were happening but honestly, i think it was in there heads. Another one of my friends 'claimed' they saw something crouch down while we were driving and lagit started balling in tears. It's all in the head. You see what you wanna see.
to post commentsSubmitted by Christian (not verified) on Fri, - 6:40pm. I had an eleven-year relationship with a melon head. His name was Harley King.
Supposedly, he relocated to Phoenix (where I met him) from Trumbull, CT. He said he was born on Velvet Street. We moved around alot.usually when someone turned up 'missing' in the small towns we lived in throughout the years. He reverted to his mutant ways when we lived in Ruth, Nevada. I escaped one night when he forgot to chain me to the bed.
I now live in California. Several people from the Town of Ruth have turned up missing, and it is suspected 'Melon Head' King (as he is commonly referred to as) is behind the disappearances. Once, they found the arm of an unidentified person, in the hills behind the house we lived in. The flesh had been eaten to the bone!
I have changed my name to protect me from the reporters who have hounded me for many years. So.If you are on Velvet Street after dark.beware! The melon heads do exist! And whatever you do, don't marry one!. to post comments.
