The Bridgewater Triangle

A rough two-hundred-square-mile patch of southeastern Massachusetts, centered on the Hockomock Swamp, that has drawn reports of the strange for generations: ghost lights, oversized animals, thunderbirds and vanishings. Native peoples called the swamp the place where spirits dwell. The writer who named it in the 1970s only drew a boundary around far older stories. The swamp and its trails are real; the rest you decide.
