If you want to come face to face with pure creepiness without having to travel too far, then the Bridgewater Triangle is the place for you. It’s an area that has recently become a hotspot for paranormal activity, and it’s just outside of Boston.
The Bridgewater Triangle covers about 200 square miles in southeastern Massachusetts.
Believers in the Bridgewater Triangle claim that the area is teeming with UFOs, ghosts, and other paranormal figures. Catching UFOs streaking across the sky is a common occurrence in the area.
The boundaries of the Bridgewater Triangle can vary depending on who you talk to, but there are generally accepted areas and objects that mark its borders.
One of the creepiest places within the Triangle includes the former resting place of the Dighton Rock (pictured above). The Dighton Rock was a 40-ton boulder located along the banks of the Taunton River, and it was covered in strange symbols. The symbols were originally thought to be of Native American origin, but researchers have never had any luck in decoding them. Even though the boulder has been removed and placed in a museum, scary things still happen at the site.
Aside from an abundance of UFOs, the Triangle also plays host to other forms of terror.
Residents living in or near the Triangle have reported seeing Bigfoot-like creatures roaming the wilderness. For a time, cattle mutilations were also fairly common. While they were happening, local police believed that the perpetrators might have been killing the creatures as part of a ritual sacrifice.
In 2014, a pair of documentary filmmakers tried to get to the bottom of all the creepiness, but their findings were inconclusive.
