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

And you DON'T Believe in Bigfoot?!

Image
So, you still don’t believe in Bigfoot?...Well that’s fine.  With all the crazy creatures floating around in this world ... Bigfoot is the no go. Our own existence on this planet is something that should cause us to say "hmmm". How are we here? Why do we look the way we do? Just what makes us tick? That is where belief comes in. Some put their existence all on heavenly cards...while others put it all on the scientific ones. So, who is right or wrong? If our own existence is still somewhat in question, why would other creatures seem so far fetched? Have you seen some of the unbelievable creatures that live on the land, in water, and in the sky? I will tell you this...I would (and do) believe in a Sasquatch before I would believe in some of these creatures that are actually already established as real. Let’s explore some, shall we... The Barreleye Fish. Not sure, but I think I can see it’s BRAIN!!!! The Goblin Shark..Really! This is real!

Warning ⚠️ Squatching May be Hazardous to Your Health

I have always enjoyed my time in the great outdoors, whether I am at a beach, the dog park or Squatching. You couldn’t coerce me back in the house. In the summer months I’m literally outdoors from dawn till dusk, but lately I’ve noticed that all these outdoor activities are starting to become hazardous to my health.              Chris Farley in Black Sheep I’m used to the constant Chris Farley type trips I do daily, sometimes, most times, it’s usually in a public forum. The grocery store while the floor was wet, Maggie’s doggy day care in front of the owner and when I was teaching a million times tripping over the kids in front of everyone and on film too! I was used to it. I never bothered to  jump up to see if anyone was looking, because I knew they were. Sure it’s funny now, or even then, but this last year I’m doing the same maneuvers but I’m actually starting to feel these falls. Things are starting to get real here. After talking to some friends and colleagues who are also out
