The Night the Lights Went out in Bridgewater 

Well this morning I woke up tired and sore. Last night was a late night in the car and in the woods. Last night after dark, my sister and I went out to explore the Bridgewater triangle.




The Bridgewater Triangle is approximately 200 miles of historical land and dense forestry in Massachusetts. The area is a known hotspot of all things paranormal and several Bigfoot sightings. The Bridgewater Triangle was named by Loren Coleman, a well known cryptozoologist in his book Mysterious America.

The Triangle bosts a few historical landmarks;

  • The Hockomock Swamp (pictured below) whose name means, “a place where spirits dwell”. Which is known for several Bigfoot sightings.

  • The Dighton rock which is covered in symbols of ancient and unknown origin.

  • Profile rock. Well that speaks for itself.

  • And finally the dense forest of the Freetown State Forest



It was this forest where our Saturday night adventure began.



When we were approaching the area we noticed our gps kept flashing white lines across the screen. Something it hadn’t done before. And when we attempted to record video of our approach our video was whited out completely.



I was able to take some pictures - here are a few below;



Who knows what the lights are. I plan to return in daylight to the same area and poke around.

Our big dilemma and scare of the night was trying to leave the Freetown Forest area. Our gps was down, our "Life 360" app was down and Siri and Google were not responding.

Although  I am not very tech savy and all of these technical glitches can probably be easily explained, what I can tell you was I felt very isolated and trapped without the technology to guide me out. And even ignoring the slight tapping noises and branches cracking, the air itself felt very thick. I’m not sure I could return at night again without an expert.

If you would like more information on the area here are two books to checkout:

Touring the Bridgewater Triangle by Lizzie Russell and

The Creature from the Bridgewater Triangle by Bill Russo.

Or if you’re looking for a good Halloween scare  than this is the place to be. I’ll even leave you with a map of the area. Good luck.

He Does Exist..The Semi-Autobiographical Tale of Dyatlov Pass

Image
On yet another glorious snowy morning in Massachusetts, the 3rd one in as many weeks, I sat out in the doorway just watching it all come down. I couldn't help but think-what if I was outside lost and stranded? What if the abominable snowman exists and is out hunting right now?  It made me think of a tale, a true tale, of an abominable snowman that was out prowling, that did hunt people. He currently resides in the icy slopes of Dyatlov Pass, in the Ural Mountains of Russia. I feel relatively safe telling his tale from this location. It would be a lot of work for him to get here. But just in case, I have a Louisville Slugger near my door. His tale is the most frightening one I've ever heard and has haunted me since I first heard of it many years ago. (Many? Did my editor put that word in)?It's a scary tale because it is real...and we have proof. On February 2nd, 1959. Nine unsuspecting college students entered the liar of a Yeti and didn't survive to tell this tal

Booger Funnels...

Image
This post is from a guest blogger, Sunday Monroe from Team Cryptid Mississippi. I have not changed any text from the piece beyond basic editing, which you all know I’m terrible at...Thank you to Sunday for sharing and emailing me this... Boogers are always in transition. They move about from place to place as needs dictate. They must, no moss grows on them for sure. It is what they have to do, it’s how they survive. This practice probably has more than a little to do with why they remain generally undocumented. You cannot define what you can’t pin down and examine. This is a trait that you can take advantage of if you want to go and see one for yourself, by thinking like a Booger thinks. If I was a Booger, why would I leave the relative comfort of my den? Because I’m hungry, of course. It takes a lot of food to support a single, large primate much less an entire family of them.  Few places offer food in sufficient amounts year round to support a family of Boogers. In most location

A Moment with a Monster 

Image
An MC Monster,  that is. On this monster of a Monday  I had a chance to ask the artist himself a few questions about his amazing characters, how he creates them and how you all can get an original from him. And I’m sure after you see them, you will be a follower of his art. And spoiler alert, he may, may,  be coming to a city near you soon.. An interview with an artist: Q: Can you tell me a little bit about the characters you create? “The monsters I create aren’t evil entities, but more of like watchful protectors, leaders or guides through the spiritual realm.”  My favorite piece, I picture it as a moment between the big guy and myself.. Q: When did you begin creating them? “I started playing around with this style in June 2017, after my little sister passed away.” Q: What process do you use to create these wonderful characters? “The process is more often then not just winging it. I lay down a background, and then sort of just go for it. When I’m doing commission pieces I fo
