The Bridgewater Triangle

The Bridgewater Triangle

And Hockomock Swamp

If you've never heard the phrase “window area” before, a window area is a region in which paranormal phenomena are reported with unusual frequency. One of the most extreme window areas in the United States is the infamous Bridgewater Triangle south of Boston.

Centered on the Hockomock Swamp, the Bridgewater Triangle area has been the location of a wide variety of strange events, including Satanic cult activity, UFO sightings, human sacrifices, Bigfoot reports, ghost dogs, cattle mutilations, animals with glowing eyes, Thunderbird sightings, weird lights and any other strange phenomena you can think of.

 

The Hockomock Swamp itself is a huge wilderness area of thorn bushes, water, mud and quick-sand. Many of the paranormal phenomena in the area have been centered on the swamp, but others have occurred in the Freetown State Forest, including the cattle mutilations and the cult activity. Several murders in the Forest in the 1980s were attributed to a drug gang that was also a cult. Supposedly the gang was committing human sacrifices in order to magically protect their drug business.

 

The area is also home to the Dighton Rock, a boulder covered in symbols of unknown origin but dating back at least several centuries. Ancient graves have been found in the area, and the Hockomock swamp is named after one of the most important deities of the Indian people of the Northeast. The swamp name is sometimes translated as “place of spirits,” but in fact the spirit in question is the deity Hockomock.
