Paranormal Massachusetts


At this time of the year we turn our minds to the mysterious, the unexplained and things that go bump in the night. These topics are all over the TV on multiple channels. It’s not just the children who are interested in ghost stories, but the adults too! For those who are interested, you’ve come to the right place! MASSACHUSETTS! Yes, that’s right…look no further! Welcome to our world of the paranormal in our own backyard.

We will start with the author of Weird Massachusetts, Jeff Belanger. He investigates our history combined with paranormal stories.

This was one of the topics at our last SMF get-together…the Bridgewater Triangle. We are smack-dab in the middle of it or at least some of us skirting the territory. This is home to many UFO sightings.

In the neighboring town of Dighton is the famous ‘Dighton Rock’. The inscriptions have not been authenticated to a single source but can be estimated to before the birth of Christ.

The Hockomock Swamp means “the place where spirits dwell” so named by the Wampanoag. Also known as “Devil’s Swamp”, it has been reported to be the home of a Big Foot, mysterious lights, a giant flying Pterodactyl and ghosts paddling a canoe.

Massachusetts is also home to many megaliths, both structures and caves, dating back to the ancient Celts.

The truth is out there!
