The Bridgewater Triangle
The "Bridgewater Triangle" is a UFO/paranormal hot spot in south-eastern Massachusetts . This area is centered around the Hockomock Swamp in Bridgewater and includes the Freetown/Fall River State Forest and Dighton Rock State Park. UFOs are frequently seen there, often by people driving along Rte. 44. Reported sightings go back to the 1700's, and there have been many sightings in recent decades. Bigfoot creatures have been seen there repeatedly for years, usually entering or exiting the swamp, or creeping along its borders. In the 1970s, the State Police staged a hunt for Bigfoot, calling it a "giant bear", though no bears live in the area! Giant birds, panthers, dogs, and other animals have also been reported. Native Americans have long considered the area haunted or sacred. They tell many legends about the swamp, which they call "evil spirit place". Paranormal events have been associated with their sacred sites, such as an ancient burial ground in the swamp, and Indian Rock. Additionally, Dighton Rock is a perplexing archaeological enigma. Its strange carvings are believed by some to be traces of visits by Europeans long before Columbus arrived. The news media have reported many cattle mutilations in the State Forest, attributing them to Satanic cults, though no suspects have been named. Ghosts, spook lights, and witches have also been reported, and Route 44 alone boasts 2 haunting entities.

Ghost Photograph Check out this intriguing image and read the account of the witness who photographed what appears to be a disembodied face in an apartment in the "Bridgewater Triangle."
"I lived in Taunton for nearly 15 years... I do believe that this area borders on the Raynham line near the dog track. I have travelled that road too many times. Also had to hitch hike through there in the mid seventies.
"I was working in Stoughton, MA at the time, before I had even heard of the place I got very strange feelings about the swamp that borders both sides of Route 138. There were a few times I thought I saw things walking in the woods there.
Especially around 6 AM some of the mornings when I used to have to get to Stoughton by 7 AM for work. I can honestly say I never had any luck getting a ride through there,
I think the people driving by had other things on their minds..."
