The History Channel’s spinoff series, “Beyond Skinwalker Ranch,” will be airing an episode titled “Bridgewater Triangle” on Tuesday, July 18. The show, which investigates paranormal hotspots across the United States, will explore the ancient “Native American curse” said to be present in this 200-square-mile area of Southeastern Massachusetts.
The episode features former CIA Intelligence Officer Andy Bustamante and actor, writer, and producer Paul Beban as they delve into reports of paranormal activity in the Bridgewater Triangle and investigate the possibility that an ancient Native American curse remains active in the region.
Paranormal investigator Jeff Belanger believes that the phenomena associated with the Bridgewater Triangle stem from King Philip’s War, a war between English settlers and Native Americans in the mid 1670s. Taking place primarily in the Bridgewater Triangle region, the war resulted in the execution of the Wampanoag chief Metacom, also known as King Philip. Belanger suggests that the negative energy from this violent history may still linger in the area.
However, other investigators of the Bridgewater Triangle believe that King Philip’s War is just one manifestation of the multiple unexplained occurrences in the region. They argue that these mysteries may be connected to the land itself and could indicate a tear in the fabric of reality.
The modern cultural origin of the Bridgewater Triangle legend can be traced back to Loren Coleman’s book, “Mysterious America,” published in 1983. Inspired by the Bermuda Triangle, Coleman coined the term “Bridgewater Triangle” and identified the rough boundaries of the area, including various notable places and legends. This “window area of unexplained occurrences” encompasses towns such as Taunton, Brockton, Raynham, and Mansfield.
The specific filming locations for the episode were not disclosed by The History Channel at the time of reporting. However, viewers can watch the “Bridgewater Triangle” episode on The History Channel on July 18 at 10 p.m. Additionally, it will be available for streaming on History.com starting from July 19 and can be purchased on Amazon Prime Video.
For those interested in learning more about the Bridgewater Triangle, the Taunton Daily Gazette published a series of articles in 2020 by reporter Susannah Sudborough. These articles provide an in-depth exploration of the dark and paranormal tales associated with the area.
In conclusion, “Beyond Skinwalker Ranch” will venture into the Bridgewater Triangle to investigate the alleged Native American curse that has fueled the region’s paranormal activities. With its fascinating history and mysterious occurrences, the Bridgewater Triangle continues to capture the interest and imagination of both believers and skeptics alike.
