In Part Two of our Bridgewater Triangle series, we leave the history books behind and step into the dark. From cult rumors and true crime in the Freetown–Fall River State Forest, to the watching figure on Profile Rock, phantom lights over Hockomock Swamp, Pukwudgies, cryptids, and UFOs, we tour some of the strangest stories tied to this 200‑square‑mile patch of Massachusetts. Is it cursed land, a paranormal “window,” or just a place with way too many legends for one map to hold?
