Original subtitles

[Phil] More movement this way.

Whoa!

[bleep]!

[Josh] On this episode of "Expedition X,"

my team takes a trip

into Massachusetts' Bridgewater Triangle,

a 200-square-mile mecca

for all things unexplained, from Bigfoot...

It just went boom, boom, boom. And that tree came down.

Wheesh!

[Josh]...to UFOs...

Do you believe this energy has some type of sentience?

[witness] I think so.

I think it's been here forever,

and it's gonna be here long after we are.

[Josh] ...to the supernatural...

What is going on in the Bridgewater Triangle?

[recorder speaking]

Death?

[Josh] Overwhelmed by paranormal activity,

my team and their equipment

are pushed to the breaking point...

- [high-pitched bleep] - What the [bleep]?

I brought compasses.

Whoa, showing completely different directions!

[Josh]...as they reveal shocking secrets...

[Phil] Heather, there's something moving.

It's going at you right now. Look to your left.

Do you see it?

[Heather] Oh, my God!

[Josh]...of the terrors of the Triangle.

[Phil] I'm coming to you!

[ominous music plays]

Now, you guys know that I was born and raised

in Massachusetts, right? - And so was I.

I was born in Boston, only for my first year, but still.

- Wicked pissa. - A what?

[Josh] You're not one of us, Phil.

- [Heather giggles] - [Josh] But you could be.

And you're going to get a chance to go back

to your roots.

Heather, you are aware of Massachusetts' infamous

paranormal reputation? - Yeah!

We're talking the Salem witch trials,

H.P. Lovecraft stories.

It's got a seriously creepy history.

And I have to say, my whole life growing up there,

there was one place that people would always talk about

that's creepier than any other.

It is known as "The Bridgewater Triangle."

If you're from Massachusetts, you know this place.

And reportedly, it has everything.

Spirits, Bigfoot sightings, UFOs, Pukwudgies.

- "Pukwuddies"? - Exactly.

And people are constantly messaging me, sharing evidence,

creepy stories, saying that we have to visit this place.

So, enough.

It is high time that "Expedition X"

gets to the great state of Massachusetts

and enters the Bridgewater Triangle.

Drive through Southeastern Massachusetts and you'll see

New England at its most charming.

White church steeples and colonial-era homes

surrounded by dense farmland and forests.

You'd be forgiven for not realizing this is reportedly

one of the most paranormally active areas in America.

The Bridgewater Triangle.

Godfather of the unexplained, Loren Coleman, first shined

a spotlight on the region in the 1980s.

While mapping paranormal occurrences,

he discovered an unusually high concentration of claims

in a triangular zone between the towns

of Abington, Freetown, and Rehoboth.

Today, most researchers believe the Triangle is even larger

and that almost every aspect of the occult

can be found within it.

There's the cryptids.

The Native American tribes in the area told tales

of pukwudgies, woodland creatures

known for their malevolent mischief-making,

sometimes even luring people to their deaths,

But the most common beast supposedly lurking

in these woods is Bigfoot.

Reports exploded in the 1970s and haven't stopped since.

The Triangle also has a long history of UFO activity.

A dozen witnesses in 1976 reported seeing

a football field-sized triangular craft

moving silently over the city of Bridgewater.

And then there's the hauntings.

Properties throughout the region,

particularly historic homes, are regularly sites

of supernatural reports, disembodied voices,

inexplicable temperature drops, and sinister apparitions.

What could possibly explain all this strange activity?

Some whisper that a powerful energy exists hidden beneath

the Triangle, saying the area's unique geology is somehow

creating a portal between our world and other dimensions.

Locals are overwhelmed, desperate for us to map

the many mysteries of the Bridgewater Triangle.

Pretty creepy.

Yeah, and what's so interesting here is that

they have such a variety of unexplained activity.

It reminds me of our investigation in Utah.

[Josh] Where you saw a skinwalker.

[Phil] I don't know what that thing was.

And we saw a spectrum of things we could not explain there.

And these places really fascinate me.

These places of convergence, where the only theme is,

there is no theme.

So I would love to try to connect the dots here

and maybe bring some method to the madness.

What do you make of the madness here?

Well, what's so fascinating and creepy about

the Bridgewater Triangle is there is no historical reason

for all this activity. There's no infamous battles.

There's no abandoned insane asylum.

There's no extreme tragedy.

It just seems like this place is paranormally charged.

And so since it doesn't have this obvious history,

what do you think could be causing all that activity?

Well, maybe there's something to these claims about

strange energy, or it's coming from the land itself.

But the one thing I do know, we're not going to learn

anything sitting here yapping in your office.

We got to get out there and figure out what's going on!

I couldn't agree more.

So I've leaned into my local contacts.

I've organized some eyewitnesses

for the two of you to meet right out of the gate.

So your Massachusetts mission

is to get to the bottom of Bridgewater.

See if you can figure out the truth inside the Triangle.

Sounds pissa?

- Just keep working on it. - [Heather laughs]

[Josh] Good luck, guys!

A four-hour drive takes Heather and Phil from New York City

to Bridgewater, Massachusetts,

where a large group of locals are already gathered

for a chance to tell their strange stories.

[Heather] So you're back in your motherland.

[Phil] That's right.

You know, one could say, "I'm on a Phil-grimage."

[chuckles] Oh, my gosh! That's so bad.

But I did some homework, and I found another

slang word for you. - [Phil] Yeah?

What do you call someone that's from Massachusetts?

- A Massachusett-tite? - A mass-hole.

Wow.

Did you just call Josh Gates a "mass-hole"?

I mean, technically, he is, right?

- You said it. - [Heather laughs]

And you're calling me, essentially, a mass-hole, too.

You think Massachusetts would claim you?

Well, I guess we'll find out real quick, won't we?

[in Boston accent] Let's park the car.

[Phil] Hello! Hi, everyone.

- Hi. - [Heather] Nice to see you.

Thanks for joining us out here.

[attendant] Nice to see you.

Love to see so many faces here.

So, first of all, thank you for meeting us here

in the Bridgewater Triangle.

This is an area we have heard countless stories about.

Show of hands, is there something odd going on

in this region?

- Everybody? - [crowd] Oh, yeah, yes.

All right.

Then we got to hear these stories.

Who wants to go first?

All right.

I'm a law enforcement officer here in the Commonwealth.

I was out in the forest one morning,

and I hear a woman's voice clear as day.

And it says, "We're here too."

I look around, and there's nobody there.

And off about 100 yards to my left, I see a white birch.

And all of a sudden, it snapped in half, like a matchstick.

Me being a law enforcement, I need tangible factual

evidence for most things. I have no explanation for this.

[witness] I've been a hunter all my life.

I don't get scared that easy.

This...

This is scary.

There's something big going on in the back of these woods

that I believe is Bigfoot.

I dealt with a creature walking around my property out back.

One night, you could hear something bipedal walk up

through the trees. I couldn't see it.

And it goes "grah!" like that, just growled at me,

like "grah!"

And just started beating on a tree.

It just went boom, boom, boom.

That right there freaked me out,

'cause it seemed aggressive.

And that tree came down like fast.

Whoosh!

I was like, keep coming back to that.

I have a family of bigfoots living in my backyard.

I'm the owner of one of the oldest homes

in the Bridgewater Triangle.

People have had their hair pulled in the house,

objects thrown.

I have had disembodied voices,

almost everything under the sun.

It's not just in the house, it's outside the house.

- What are we talking about? - I've got UFO activity.

One night, I saw three objects in a triangular formation

coming from the south,

and when they reached the zenith,

they disappeared one at a time.

No red and green lights, which you would assume

with an aircraft.

I mean, that's pretty weird.

Unnerving sometimes.

One of the most freakiest things I've experienced inside

the Triangle is I saw lights in the woods bouncing around.

You instinctively follow them, and you don't know where

it's going to lead.

I've heard stories that people get lured into the woods.

They jump off bridges and rock walls and fall to their death.

[Phil] You felt like you were being drawn

to a dangerous situation.

Mm-hmm.

[witness] I would say, if you're going to investigate

in the Bridgewater Triangle, you have to visit

the Hockomock Swamp.

I experienced everything from disembodied voices,

strange lights, cryptid activity.

There's something out there.

I don't know exactly what it is, but you can feel it

when you enter the swamp.

Does anyone else think that?

[all affirming]

Everybody knows the Hockomock Swamp here.

All right. Add it to the list.

[mysterious music plays]

[Heather] With so many stories to look into,

Phil and I start by splitting up.

He heads east to the Taunton River, where the majority

of Bigfoot encounters took place.

I head west to the Josiah Keith House in Southeastern,

one of the oldest buildings in the Triangle.

Built in 1717, it once welcomed weary travelers as an inn.

But today, it's said to host

something else entirely-- the undead.

Hey, come on in.

[Heather] Good to see you again.

[Justin] Good to see you again.

Justin Lewinter bought the house five years ago

and has experienced a variety of frightening activity

ever since.

Thanks so much for letting me investigate your house.

Yeah, absolutely.

Sounds like this property has such varied activity.

[Justin] Yeah, I moved to this house because I love the history

of the town.

Never occurred to me this place could be so haunted,

have such paranormal activity.

[Heather] Like what?

I've had friends that have had their hair pulled.

I've had footsteps in the middle of the night.

I've watched the latch lifting up in my bedroom,

and door opening and closing and opening and closing.

Why do you think that's happening here?

We don't know.

We've got 300 years

of people living and dying here,

but that doesn't explain what's going on outside,

the phenomenon that are going on above the house,

the UFOs.

I've had voices telling my friends

to come into the woods.

You've had people lured into the woods?

Yeah, right by the swamp

where plenty of people have gone disappearing.

[Heather] Did you believe in all this stuff before you came

to the Bridgewater Triangle?

I was a skeptic, but after living here

for almost five years, I can certainly tell you

I am now a believer.

There are spirits here.

With such a spectrum

of unexplained activity to tackle,

my first step is setting up cameras both inside and outside

Justin's home.

A DAP cam gives us an eye on the sky,

while a trail cam facing the woods

will catch anything coming

from the infamous Hockomock Swamp.

With those set, I begin my investigation

of the house itself.

Indoors, this is an active haunting

that is interacting with guests.

To me, that means this is going to be a wild night!

[ominous music plays]

[Phil] While Heather's investigating the historic haunted house,

I've been hiking the woods east of the Hockomock Swamp,

searching for any signs that could back up the reports

of what people say is Bigfoot.

So my best tool tonight is gonna be the FLIR.

Some of the reports from people in this area,

that they see trees get knocked over.

The grunts, the knocks,

the seemingly aggressive behavior.

If you're to believe them, it seems like whatever is

out here is not afraid of people.

So aside from a thermal signature,

I'm also looking for any claw marks on trees

that could tell us bears are around here.

I'm looking for scat,

anything that could hint at what large animal

is living out here and terrifying the locals.

See if there's anything else out here with us.

Let's move.

[leaves crackling]

[somber ambient plays]

[Heather] OK...

This is the master bedroom.

This is the room where Justin saw

that door open and close several times.

He even saw the latch being lifted.

That takes a lot of energy.

My question is, is that energy part of this house

or is it part of the Bridgewater Triangle?

I'm going to try communicating with the Spirit Box

and see if anything can get through.

Starting my audio recorder.

Turn on my Spirit Box.

[device beeping]

My name is Heather.

You can use this device to communicate with me.

Is there anyone here with me right now?

[Spirit box]

Yes?

Why are you here?

Bad?

What's bad?

[high-pitched beep]

- What the [bleep]? - [high-pitched beep]

Hold on, hold on.

I have never [bleep] got that before on this thing.

Start again and see what happens.

Can you tell me your name?

[high-pitched beep]

What the [bleep]?

Can you stop making that noise?

[beep stops]

It just stopped.

That's, that's insane.

[leaves rustling]

[Phil pants]

[Phil] This place

is definitely creepy.

The [bleep] was that?

Something was just moving.

[leaves crunching]

[Phil] There's not a lot of cover.

[loud snap]

What the hell was that?

[distant knocking]

[Phil] Right over here, right over here.

[breathing jaggedly]

I just heard knocking.

Shoot.

FLIR just died.

It just froze.

I don't know what's going on with it.

I've been in much colder conditions.

Never had any issues with this equipment.

I'm telling you, this is the first time

this has ever happened.

[eerie music plays]

[Heather] I want to investigate another room in the house and see

if I get the same strange interference.

Imma start this recorder.

This is Heather.

I'm in the Josiah Keith House.

You can use this audio recorder to say something to me.

I've already had interference.

I'm going to try again to communicate using

my Spirit Box.

[distorted static]

[Heather] Is there anyone here with me right now?

[distorted static]

[Spirit box]

Hello?

Who's here with me?

What do you need help with?

What is going on in the Bridgewater Triangle?

Death?

Who died?

[indistinct mumbling]

What do you want?

Walk?

Where do you want me to walk to?

You want me to go outside?

[indistinct mumbling]

Is there danger outside?

- [high-pitched beep] - Ah!

[distant steps]

The [bleep] was that?

Is someone running around?

No one ran through the house? No one shut a door?

That sounded like footsteps that just ran through the house

and slammed a door.

I've got to check.

[Heather panting]

Do you hear anything?

Do you see anything?

Something just ran out here.

Holy [bleep], what the [bleep] was that!

There's something in the woods.

Something just flashed in the woods.

I just saw a flashing light,

and we heard a lot of stories

about people being led into the woods,

And what am I doing?

Let's see if I can use my K2 and get a reading on this.

Is there anyone out here with me?

[branches cracking]

Was that you in the house?

Did you run outside of the house into the forest?

Yes!

OK.

Are you leading me somewhere?

Yep.

You're leading me somewhere.

Am I going the right way?

That's nuts.

[crickets chirping]

[Phil] I heard...

one large noise.

It sounded like something knocking.

Just because I know this is what Heather

would want me to do.

I think I should knock back.

[exhales sharply]

[knocking]

[knocking]

[branch snap]

[branch creaking]

More movement this way.

[footsteps creaking]

- Whoa! - [heavy thud]

[whoosh]

[heavy thud]

[Phil] [bleep]!

This tree just fell.

Yeah, that would hurt.

Way too close for comfort!

How did that just happen?

Looks like it came out of right here.

You can see the hole that it was in.

It feels like this thing was just pushed at me.

If this was pushed over, nearest escape route,

not through that.

Probably right back through here.

Look at this!

Something large walked right through here.

I'm not saying that's Bigfoot size,

but those are the biggest feet I've seen all night,

so I think our best bet is to leave a trail cam.

I'm also going to grab some photos of these prints

and try to figure out what made them.

[camera clicks]

[Heather] The vegetation has definitely changed.

The ground is softer.

Whoa, that's water. That's water right there.

This must be Hockomock Swamp.

Is this what you wanted me to find?

Big spike!

This thing's going crazy.

Everyone says this is the beating heart

of the Bridgewater Triangle.

K2 meter's going crazy.

Might as well be a REM pod with the way it's acting.

It's definitely creepy.

I walk along the swamp's edge for the better part of an hour.

But with the sun about to rise, I reconnect with Phil.

We decide to update Gates on our findings.

[Josh] Hey there.

How was your first night amidst the wonderful weird

of the Bridgewater Triangle?

Both of us had very interesting nights.

OK, what happened?

Well, a tree almost fell on me.

Hold on. Did Bigfoot push a tree on you?

I mean, listen, 99% of my brain is certain that it was

all just a coincidence.

But then there's that 1% that says there's the tree,

there was the knocking we heard, and the FLIR

malfunctioned all at the same time.

Which is interesting because I had some unusual activity

on my instruments as well.

I got this shrieking interference on my Spirit Box.

You think this could all be connected somehow?

Maybe.

And not only that, I was told on the Spirit Box

to go outside.

I did, and then I ended up seeing these weird lights

that led me directly to Hockomock Swamp.

There's something very strange about the energy here.

Strange lights certainly sounds interesting,

and interesting that you bring up energy, Heather.

I've been talking to these two local journalists,

Tim Weisberg and Matt Moniz.

Now, these guys have been studying

the Bridgewater Triangle

for, like, 20 years, and they have really

interesting theories about its latent energy that they say

is concentrated in Hockomock Swamp.

And we heard a lot about the Hockomock Swamp

at our town hall.

So, Heather, how about you track down

those journalists and I'll follow up with witnesses who had

a lot of experiences at the swamp?

All right, and Phil,

[in Boston accent] jump in the car, bang a uey,

go pick up some dunkeys, will ya?

And then frickin' get to work.

- Say something in Boston back. - I'm not there yet.

Agh...

[Heather] Now head out to the edge of the Hockomock Swamp

to meet with Gates' contacts.

Hey, y'all must be Matt and Tim.

- So glad to meet y'all. - Likewise.

Matt Moniz and Tim Weisberg are arguably the leading

researchers of the Bridgewater Triangle,

sharing their findings on a radio show dedicated

to its mysteries.

So tell me about y'all's background.

How did y'all get into this?

I'm a scientist by trade--

background in analytical chemistry.

And I work as a journalist. I want the story.

He wants the data.

[Heather] So what do you think is here?

To me, I think it's all energy.

People who come out here and investigate,

they're looking for individual experiences.

But what we're experiencing is just different manifestations

of that same energy.

Do you believe this energy has some type of sentience?

[Tim] I think so.

I think it's been here forever,

and it's gonna be here long after we are.

What makes y'all think it's so old?

We got our hands on a U.S. Geological Survey map

of the area once, - [Matt] Yeah.

[Tim] and it's all just one big granite shelf.

And all of that granite is so rich in quartz,

we're sitting on top of one giant crystal.

We are on a giant paranormal battery.

Wow! That's incredible.

[Phil] On the south side of the swamp, I'm following up

with one of our most intriguing town hall witnesses.

Hey, Harry.

Hey, thanks for meeting up with me.

Harry Green Jr. claims he had a terrifying encounter

in the heart of the Hockomock,

one so disturbing that he says

it blurred the boundaries between spirit and beast.

What can you tell me about the swamp?

[Harry] I was out one night deep in the Hockomock,

and one particular area, I smelled this musky smell,

the same scent that people get a whiff of right before

a Sasquatch sighting.

The temperature started to decrease.

Then, believe it or not, I saw

this bluish face hovering above the trees,

and it evaporated into this misty lightning.

- Bluish face? - [Harry] Yes.

The hairs on my arms stood up.

What's so interesting to me

is any of those things happened singularly,

you may kind of shrug it off.

"OK, it's cold right here.

OK, there's a weird smell over there."

But it seems like all of those happen at the same time

in the same place. - Yes.

[Phil] Where exactly did you see this?

Right near the Skim Milk Bridge.

- "Skim Milk Bridge." - [Harry] Yes.

Given y'all's experience, if we want to understand more

about the Bridgewater Triangle, where should we look?

Well, my suggestion would be start at Skim Milk Bridge,

because that's where a number of paranormal things, UFOs,

as well as cryptids have occurred.

OK, so we have a destination.

But bear in mind, what you go looking for in the Triangle

is not necessarily what finds you.

So we need to be careful.

Be very careful.

[Heather] With an ominous warning from Matt and Tim,

I meet back up with Phil.

It's clear where we're headed tonight, the Hockomock Swamp.

So it seems like everyone agrees Skim Milk Bridge

is where we gotta go.

Yeah, and I've been thinking about this.

Some people believe bridges are liminal spaces,

places of connection. - Right.

And there's this theory that water can be

a paranormal conduit.

So essentially, we're at a spiritual crossroads

with an ancient bridge and this water leading directly

to the swamp. - So water, ancient bridge...

- X marks the spot. - Exactly.

The Skim Milk Bridge is a dry-stone slab bridge,

which means it was made without any mortar.

No one knows exactly when or how it was built,

but it likely dates back to the late 18th century.

Historians believe the name comes from stories

that the water turned milky during its construction

due to disturbed white clay.

But bigger than the mystery of its creation

is the mystery of its purpose.

Why does it sit at the center

of so many supernatural reports?

Could this mysterious structure somehow be a conduit

for the strange energy in the bedrock below?

[Phil] Good.

We are here.

Bridge is there.

- Let's head in. - Copy that.

[somber ambient plays]

- Where is this bridge? - [Phil] I don't know.

We should have been there by now.

[Phil] Yeah.

- Oh, no! - [Heather] What?

Uh...

...bad news.

GPS is dead.

- What do you mean, dead? - [Phil] It's not turning on.

Completely dead.

Listen, I'm telling you, I fully charged this thing

before we came out.

This should be able to stay on for days.

[Heather] For once, I'm not going to blame you.

I'm going to blame the Bridgewater Triangle.

[Phil] I have no idea where we are, honestly.

Oh, we can't even see the stars to figure out

what direction we're going.

[Heather] Well...

everyone kept warning us about how easy it was to get

lost in here, so I brought compasses.

- [Phil] Oh. - [Heather] Ooh?

[Phil] Which are...?

[Heather] Showing completely different directions.

[Phil] What?

[Heather] That's crazy!

Something is making our equipment go haywire.

[whoosh]

[Phil] I don't get it.

Maybe the energy in the Bridgewater Triangle

can mess with compasses.

- [both] Whoa! - They're moving back.

- [Heather] Now they're aligned. - [Phil] Now they're aligned.

Let's hope that they're both correct now,

and that north is this way.

We know the stream was east of us, and we haven't crossed

the stream yet, so we head east.

If we find the stream, we can find the bridge.

[Heather] OK, you take one.

And hopefully they stay matched up.

[Phil] OK, let's check this out.

[Heather] OK.

[Phil pants]

[water flowing]

- [Phil] You hear that? - [Heather] Yeah.

- Is that the stream? - [Phil] I think it's the stream.

Right up here.

There it is!

All right, we found the stream.

Next, let's find Skim Milk Bridge.

[Heather] OK.

[Phil] I think it's gonna be downstream of here.

- So, that way. - [Heather] All right.

[Phil] See ya on the bank.

Bridge!

[Phil] Bridge!

Yes!

- [Heather] Wow! - [Phil] Oh, my gosh.

[Heather] Look at this thing!

[Phil] These stones are...

massive!

How the heck did they build this?

[Heather] I have no idea.

[Phil] OK, Skim Milk Bridge.

Not the best name, but pretty cool bridge.

[Heather] If Skim Milk Bridge truly is the nexus

of the Bridgewater Triangle,

then we're going all in,

covering land, air, and water

with everything we've got.

I rig EMF tripwires across the bridge

to catch any energy spikes,

and plant multiple REM pods on both sides of the river

and on the structure itself.

Meanwhile, Phil sets up trail cams

and gets eyes on the sky.

[suspenseful music plays]

[Phil] So you're making yourself right at home.

Did a little bit of decorating?

[Heather] I did.

[Phil] Well, I have a camera set up.

Keep an eye out with night-vision binoculars

and have the thermal drone on standby.

I'm going to do a call-and-response session

with a REM pod in the center of the bridge.

So, you've got the surroundings.

- I've got the bridge. - OK.

Be careful. Stay on walkie.

Copy.

If this bridge has been here for hundreds of years,

then this old trail has also probably been here

for hundreds of years,

I'm going to record this as well.

This is Heather.

I'm on the Skim Milk Bridge.

Is there anyone here with me?

You can touch this REM pod.

You can touch the tripwires.

I'll know. I'll see it.

I'm trying to understand

this energy here.

People have said that whatever is

in the Bridgewater Triangle

is sentient.

Let me know you're here.

[REM pod beeping]

Oh my gosh!

OK.

You're here!

Are you a spirit?

Are you an ancient energy?

Do you manifest in multiple ways?

[REM pod beeping]

Yes, I knew it!

[Phil] This riverbank's probably my best vantage point.

I'm going to keep an eye out for movement

along the tree line

and see if anything is moving towards us.

Were you watching us earlier tonight?

[beeping]

[gasps]

[bleep]!

[bleep].

Heather's getting a lot of activity.

Do you harm people?

[beeping]

Yes.

Yes?

Multiple yeses.

[REM pod beeping]

[branch cracking]

Oh! Over there, over there.

There's a lot of movement happening.

My visibility is just completely shut

by the thick brush.

- [loud cracking] - [Heather gasps]

Oh, my God!

[Phil] Whoa!

There's a big noise over there.

Can you get the drone up?

[ominous music rises]

It's not just the land of the Bridgewater Triangle

that's rife with strange reports.

It's the skies, too.

In March 1979, two journalists,

Jerry Lopes and Steve Sbraccia,

were driving near Bridgewater's Hockomock Swamp

when they looked up and couldn't believe their eyes.

They stared at what they said was a massive craft

shaped like home plate on a baseball field.

And they weren't the only witnesses.

Dozens of other motorists stopped, stunned.

Lopes was an Air Force veteran.

He knew his aircraft and swore this was like nothing

he'd ever seen.

Subsequent calls to Air Traffic Control

also turned up nothing.

So, was this really an alien craft?

A top-secret military test flight?

Or some kind of manifestation

of the eerie energy of the swamp?

Chalk up one more unresolved mystery

for the Bridgewater Triangle.

[whoosh]

[Heather] What the [bleep] was that?

Was that you?

- [REM pod beeping] - Yes?

Phil, do you copy?

Yeah, I copy.

Did you hear that on the other side of the bridge?

Yeah, you heard that?

Yeah, and I can't make it out with the night vision

binoculars, so I'm about to launch the thermal drone.

- Try to get eyes on it. - Copy that.

- Let me know what you find. - [Phil] Will do.

[drone buzzing]

[Phil] So, I can see the river.

I think that little dot is Heather on the bridge.

Whoa! Got a hot spot.

Is that it?

[bleep]!

Heather, there's something moving.

It's going at you right now!

Look to your left!

- [REM pod beeping] - [Phil] Do you see it?

[Heather] I'm not seeing anything,

but my REM pod is going off.

[bleep].

It's getting close! It's getting close!

[REM pod beeping]

[Phil] To your left. Look to your left.

What the hell?

Heather, it just disappeared.

Do you see it?

It should be just on the other side of the bridge right now.

[Heather] I don't see anything,

but all three of my REM pods are going off.

- [overlapping beeps] - [Phil] OK, I'm coming to you.

[thrilling music plays]

[Phil] Hey, you saw nothing over here?

[Heather] Nothing, but all three of my REM pods went off.

OK, drone is still in the air, so let's walk

to exactly where this thing disappeared.

So...

Right here.

Anything?

[Heather] I don't see anything.

There are no tracks

leaving the side of this trail.

[Heather] There's nothing here.

[Phil] All right, that's impossible!

How?

It was as if it was sprinting at you.

[Heather] I don't know, but you saw that thing, it disappeared,

and then all three of my REM pods went off.

Maybe that's all part of the energy

of Bridgewater Triangle.

It starts as one thing and then...

morphs into something else.

You're saying whatever I saw in the thermal drone

with a heat signature

transformed into whatever set off the REM pods?

You have a better explanation?

I don't.

Yet.

[Josh] Could the team really have been hunting some kind

of sinister, shape-shifting entity like Heather theorized?

If so, it certainly used its powers effectively.

Despite searching the area for the rest of the night,

the team failed to find any further trace of the anomaly.

And "anomaly" really is the operative word

for our Bridgewater investigation.

The Triangle seemed to have a greater spectrum of strange

than anywhere we've been before.

There were the inexplicable equipment failures.

Phil's dependable infrared camera suddenly shutting down

near Hockomock Swamp.

Never had any issues with this equipment.

The fully charged trail cam he left behind

by the suspected Bigfoot prints...

[Phil] Those are the biggest feet I've seen all night.

[Josh]...also glitched out,

dying shortly after he placed it.

And let's talk about those prints.

They're much larger than the local deer could make,

had no distinctive claw marks like you'd expect

from a black bear paw print,

and weren't human either.

They remain unidentified.

The results from our paranormal investigation

were just as strange.

After Heather's Spirit Box repeatedly let out

a shocking high-pitched shriek...

[shrieking]

[Heather] What the [bleep]!

I have never [bleep] got that before on this thing.

[Josh] We had the device professionally examined.

There was nothing wrong with it,

and it has never made that anomalous sound since.

And there's more.

During that same investigation,

Heather believes she found a chilling EVP.

[Heather] Where do you want me to walk to?

Outside?

She identifies the word "follow."

Could this command have come from the entity

that she believes led her out into Hockomock Swamp?

Where are you watching us earlier tonight?

- [beeping] - [Heather gasps]

[Josh] Could this also be who they ultimately encountered

at Hockomock's Skim Milk Bridge?

There's something moving.

It's going at you right now.

[Josh] There was one last anomaly for the list.

We analyzed the heat signature captured at the bridge

on the thermal drone.

It matched the dimensions and movement of a person,

but no person can make

their heat signature instantly disappear.

[Phil] What the hell.

[Josh] With the claims of people being lured into the swamp

by dark forces ringing in her ears,

Heather is increasingly convinced something wicked

lurks in the Bridgewater Triangle.

But sadly, that wasn't the only thing ringing in her ears

after their time in Massachusetts.

[Heather] Hold on, hold on.

[Josh] There was also Phil,

who finally connected with his roots.

We're gonna miss our flight.

We are wicked late!

Move it, you chowderhead!

Oh, my gosh.

Phil, you've completed your Phil-grimage.

I guess I have.

Ha-ha-ha!

Well, it felt pretty good to say that.

You're a true mass-hole now.
