For those of you who enjoy paranormal stuff:
If you are interested in exploring the unknown wilderness of the Hockomock swamp and/or Bridgewater Triangle youshould respond in here.
For those of you who don't know, that area has had a number of unexplained happenings/sightings/encounters over the past couple hundred years.
There's been bigfoot sightings, a large amount of UFO sightings, orbs, etc. You name it, people have reported it.
Hockomock means "place where spirits dwell" in the native tongue, as they feared what lay in the swamp. The settlers called it "the devil's swamp." During King Phillips War, the natives also fooled a small colonial army into going into the swamp, where they all perished. It also as a shitload of Indian Burial Grounds.
This place ain't no joke. I've been in there one or two times before, and there's fucking quicksand. Sadly, if you really want to explore it, you'd have to have some serious equipment.

new ways in? damn, I haven't been there in 5 years and I had to sneak through a construction site. it was near the rayham dog track. where are the other entrances?
[Jul 29,2009 12:39pm - Seth ""]
Hell yeah i would check this shit out...

Long lost to where no pathway goes.
[Jul 29,2009 12:42pm - Czarnobóg ""]
Fuck yeah, I grew up around there.

"Also the site of an 8,000-year-old Native American burial ground, when archaeologists opened the graves of Grassy Island, the red ochre within the tombs bubbled and then mysteriously disappeared. Photographs taken of the excavation would not develop."
Damn

I've also read articles about "satanic cults" in Freetown State Forest. Supposedly when the cops were investigating a murder in the '70s they found all these tunnels with occult trinkets and a decomposing cow carcass that showed signs of ritual sacrifice. Dude.

I've heard about those "cults" too. Someone tried telling me they saw white-robed people in the middle of the woods butchering something, but I didn't believe her.
I must say however, I was in Taunton at an abandoned mental asylum, and on the ground there was a pentagram made in fresh blood. Pretty sweet album cover if you ask me.
[Jul 29,2009 12:54pm - MikeOv ""]
Can't wait to go down there this weekend.

They'll be accompanying me.

I don't know how true any of the Bridgewater Triangle-related stories are, but that whole area does have a real eerie feeling to it.

Sounds interesting, but for a bunch of people who don't believe in god such as I, you seem to believe this hocus pocus crap. I would still go out there on a bunch of opiates though and make up my own spooky shit in my head.

the other way in is off a dead end road...you turn right before the mobil before the over pass...and of 138 you can walk in by the high tention lines..and another way in is by my old high school on foundry st..and by the nip off 104..im there all the time
[Jul 29,2009 1:07pm - arilliusbm ""]
I'm a UFO dude, that's my main reason.
[Jul 29,2009 2:27pm - arilliusbm ""]
Gotta think of stuff to bring:
Compass
Flashlight
Bug Spray
Beer
Spy Ear (As Seen on TV)
Knife
Rope?
What else?
[Jul 29,2009 2:30pm - MikeOv ""]
Gun
Granola (hey, might get hungry)
Lighter

My newphews were crazy about checking this place out last winter. So we packed some backpacks, headed out and didn't see shit.
It was more of a "paranormal experience" doing donuts and ghost riding the whip on ice in an office park after the hike.

The "real" part of the swamp is inaccessible by foot. You really need one of those swampboat things.
The paths generally don't go that far into the place.
[Jul 29,2009 3:28pm - MikeOv ""]
add inflatable raft to the list of requirements
[Jul 29,2009 3:29pm - arilliusbm ""]
need one with a giant fan on the back. when you're in Miami, pick one up (along with some nice broads, too)
[Jul 29,2009 3:30pm - MikeOv ""]
The latter, check. The former, no.
[Jul 29,2009 3:30pm - MikeOv ""]
oh and I lied, I'm really just going to Disney World, tee hee
[Jul 29,2009 3:33pm - goatcatalyst ""]
I will take a hovercraft full of haunchy Latinas and beer right into that faggot swamp
[Jul 29,2009 3:34pm - arilliusbm ""]
Make sure you go to Epcot, then make sure to go on the Norway ride. The trolls'll get you every time.
[Jul 29,2009 3:47pm - MikeOv ""]
haha I did go on the maelstrom ride when i was a kid. but no, im not hitting up parks, just cubanville and hopefully the everglades
[Jul 29,2009 3:49pm - pam ""]
I'd be into this, but the gators would detect my ability to menstruate and kill us all.
There's gators right?
[Jul 29,2009 3:50pm - MikeOv ""]
by the barrel full
[Jul 29,2009 3:50pm - arilliusbm ""]
Enjoy the everglades. It's a shame how we've abuse the shit out of that ecosystem.
[Jul 29,2009 3:51pm - xmikex ""]
I've heard of some of these stories. No huge surprise that there's a mental hospital for the criminally insane in that area too.
[Jul 29,2009 3:51pm - MikeOv ""]
i know, it's diminishing i heard

Last summer a few buddies of mine went down to the Hockomock area. Dighton Triangle and one of em got stuck in waist deep mud. Unfortunately they found nothing unusual
Are any of you guys into Dudley Road in Billerica? I went there last summer at dusk and one of my buds told me to not say anything that would sound evil or negative cuz he feared bad juju
So I kept saying Kali Ma, Kali ma to piss him off

I beat the living shit out of the ecosystem everyday!
[Jul 29,2009 8:15pm - arilliusbm ""]
haha.
i'll bring my video camera just in case if I encounter anything strange

i've never been, but i knew a few guys who used to regularly go there and they said it was just a really creepy stretch of road. the stories about the escaped inmates murdering nuns is bullshit, but the road is very strange. i definitely want to go there.
Jim, when are you going to the swamp? it might be tough for me to get down there, but let me know when you are going and i'll gladly join you. stories are just stories, i want to see it face to face. if i get slaughtered by Native American ghosts, well so be it.

This weekend
[Jul 30,2009 10:34am - Yeti ""]
ah fuck, too soon. i was hoping to make a trip in September sometime, i'll see what i can work out and keep you informed. i want to go with people who are serious, and aren't afraid to confront anything.
[Jul 30,2009 10:36am - arilliusbm ""]
Still not 100% if it's going to be this weekend. But it's going to be more than once hopefully. It's time we put these "rumors" to rest.
[Jul 30,2009 10:37am - Yeti ""]
that's exactly what i'm interested in too. if they aren't rumors, i want firsthand proof. i don't care about proving it to the world, i don't even care about catching it on film or anything, i just want to see it and know it.
[Jul 30,2009 10:39am - arilliusbm ""]
honestly though, like I said. you'd need actualy equipment to thoroughly search a swamp. And who the fuck wants to walk through a swamp at 3am?
Leeches, quicksand, mud, bugs, etc. Gotta be prepared
[Jul 30,2009 10:45am - Yeti ""]
flame spurts, lightning sand, R.O.U.S.'s...
[Jul 30,2009 10:50am - goatcatalyst ""]
If you wanna do this again in a few weeks, I'd be down with enslaving some natives and making them guide us ala Cannibal Holocaust.
[Jul 30,2009 11:06am - MikeOv ""]
I'm going to bring a dead animal with me to bury in one of the numerous indian burial grounds.
[Jul 30,2009 11:08am - arilliusbm ""]
why are there always rumors of "curses" at indian burial grounds? never understood that.
almost the same kind of feeling towards egyptian tombs.
[Jul 30,2009 11:10am - MikeOv ""]
Because the Indians worshipped grotesque, laughing gods. Not benevolent, light-bearing deities.
[Jul 30,2009 11:16am - arilliusbm ""]
I suppose people on this board hate the natives?
I've always grown to respect them (NOT the current ones that drink and gamble) due to the fact that they lived off the land, were relatively peaceful and we're, in my eyes, "pagan" as opposed to westerners that came over.
[Jul 30,2009 11:20am - MikeOv ""]
Natives > Western expansionism
[Jul 30,2009 11:22am - arilliusbm ""]
trail of tears = LOL?
[Jul 30,2009 11:25am - MikeOv ""]
never underestimate the public's willingness to blame the red man for anything.
