Bara-Hack is a former village in the town of Pomfret, Connecticut.

History

Bara-Hack is said[by whom?] to have been founded in 1780 or 1790 by two Welsh settlers, Obadiah Higginbotham and John Randall, and their families. The village's name, bara-hack, is a Welsh term meaning "breaking of bread".[1][2] The community was abandoned by 1890,[3] possibly some time before the Civil War.[4]

The remnants of the hamlet include foundations and walls of derelict buildings, and a cemetery that is said to be haunted.[1][4] Since the early 19th century, visitors to Bara-Hack have reported hearing unexplainable sounds in the village and its cemetery, including singing, laughter, animal noises, and the rumble of wagon wheels.[1][4][5]

The village site is on privately owned land, and cannot be visited without permission.[1]
