The Creature Nobody Can Explain | Ft. Bill Russo | The Bridgewater Triangle

0:16 Speaker 1: Sist, mister Bill Russo, one of the most famous sightings

1:36 Speaker 1: in the Bridgewater Triangle.

1:38 Speaker 2: What I would say is what draws you.

1:40 Speaker 3: Know, A lot of new attention keeps people coming for

1:44 Speaker 3: that rich history that the triangle endures.

1:46 Speaker 4: Bill.

1:47 Speaker 2: Can you just tell us a little bit about yourself

1:49 Speaker 2: who you are?

1:49 Speaker 5: Well? I was a broadcaster, I was a newspaper editor.

1:54 Speaker 5: I practiced many trades. I was a journeyman and all

1:58 Speaker 5: a master of none. It was a hard worker. So

2:01 Speaker 5: I had a good career, mostly in newspapers, radio, broadcasting,

2:08 Speaker 5: and a few turns in factories as a supervisor. So

2:13 Speaker 5: pretty much jack of all trades, master of nothing. And

2:16 Speaker 5: here I am at age eighty, in South Florida, even

2:20 Speaker 5: though my heart is still back there in the High

2:23 Speaker 5: Teas instead of behind me my painting.

2:25 Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that painting. By the way, so the

2:28 Speaker 3: High Tees, we're getting right in through it.

2:30 Speaker 2: Here. Did you grow up in that Massachusetts area?

2:33 Speaker 5: I was born in Massachusetts and I lived in the

2:36 Speaker 5: town of Raynham for many years. My son still lives

2:40 Speaker 5: there in my old house. It's his house.

2:42 Speaker 3: Now, Okay, I want you to take me back to

2:47 Speaker 3: a night that you had and of course, you know it.

2:50 Speaker 3: It's you know, changed your life, and I would like

2:55 Speaker 3: to know the story.

2:55 Speaker 5: I'm going to take you back to that time and

2:59 Speaker 5: that place time was the nineteen nineties. The place was

3:03 Speaker 5: the town of Raynham. It's in southeastern Massachusetts, about thirty

3:07 Speaker 5: miles away from Providence, Rhode Island. It borders Bridgewater, which

3:12 Speaker 5: has become famous as a town that gave its name

3:15 Speaker 5: to a triangle. I lived three miles from the Nip,

3:18 Speaker 5: another famous place in the triangle. And I'll tell you

3:22 Speaker 5: this about the Nip. My dog Samantha and I swam

3:25 Speaker 5: there for many years. It was a wonderful place. There

3:28 Speaker 5: were no drownings during the period that I swam there

3:32 Speaker 5: and Samantha swam there. There were no strange things. Parently

3:36 Speaker 5: that all happened after the nineteen nineties, but I can't

3:39 Speaker 5: really speak to that. I can only say that we

3:41 Speaker 5: swam there and it was a wonderful spot for us. Well,

3:45 Speaker 5: I'm going to take you back to the nineteen nineties now,

3:48 Speaker 5: to the town of raynom a small town. It was

3:51 Speaker 5: about nine thousand people back then. It's almost double that now,

3:56 Speaker 5: but it's still a small, quiet town. You have to

3:59 Speaker 5: understand and how quiet this town was. I worked at

4:05 Speaker 5: three to midnight shift, and when I get home at midnight,

4:08 Speaker 5: Sam and I used to take a walk every night,

4:10 Speaker 5: and I'll tell you this, not once did we ever

4:13 Speaker 5: see a light on. Not once did we ever see

4:15 Speaker 5: a car. The town was so small back then that

4:19 Speaker 5: the police department knocked off at midnight and they called

4:22 Speaker 5: the city of Taunton, the neighboring city next door, and

4:26 Speaker 5: Taunton would take over the phone calls that were placed

4:30 Speaker 5: to the Raydom police department. But they never were any

4:34 Speaker 5: or at least very very rarely. Back in the day,

4:37 Speaker 5: the Taunton Gazette, the newspaper for the area, used to

4:40 Speaker 5: publish a column every day of the police calls. It

4:44 Speaker 5: was called the police Blotter, and there'd be these calls

4:48 Speaker 5: for Taunton and calls for the other towns in the area,

4:51 Speaker 5: and you would rarely, probably never see a call to

4:56 Speaker 5: the Rainham police from midnight to eight. Now, when Sam

5:00 Speaker 5: and I did our walk, we never saw another car.

5:02 Speaker 5: We never saw another person. Let me introduce Sammy now

5:06 Speaker 5: before we go any further. Miss is Samantha. She was

5:11 Speaker 5: an eighty pound Rottweiler shepherd. If you know anything about dogs,

5:16 Speaker 5: you know Rottweilers and shepherds are pretty tough. Some folks

5:21 Speaker 5: will even tell you they're mean. This was the most

5:25 Speaker 5: gentle dog I've ever known or seen, and she was

5:29 Speaker 5: my pal. And for several years, every night after I

5:35 Speaker 5: get home from work, Sam and I would take a walk.

5:40 Speaker 5: Now we generally start out right behind me in the

5:43 Speaker 5: High teas. Just to explain for the people who don't know,

5:47 Speaker 5: the high tees or high tension wires that run from

5:51 Speaker 5: Boston to Providence, and back in the nineteen nineties, the

5:56 Speaker 5: Electric company did not trim aggressively like they do today,

6:01 Speaker 5: so the tees then were essentially a tunnel. You could

6:05 Speaker 5: go from Boston to Providence. In this tunnel. It'd cross

6:08 Speaker 5: a few streets, of course, but you could go and

6:12 Speaker 5: probably not be seen by anybody except maybe when you

6:16 Speaker 5: cross the street. So the tunnels, then the high tees

6:22 Speaker 5: became apparently a paranormal hotspot. I never saw anything strange

6:29 Speaker 5: in the high tees themselves, but I believe there were

6:32 Speaker 5: strange things in the High Te's that maybe they came

6:35 Speaker 5: out on the street at night. So let's get back

6:37 Speaker 5: to the story. I worked at the random iron works.

6:42 Speaker 5: I get home at midnight, said hello to my wife

6:44 Speaker 5: every night, and then Sam and I would begin our walk,

6:48 Speaker 5: and generally we'd start out in the High Tees. My

6:52 Speaker 5: backyard emptied out right. The spot in the High tea's

6:57 Speaker 5: right here, still does. And we walked High Teas for

7:00 Speaker 5: a little bit until we got to a street, and

7:03 Speaker 5: it is called White Street, and that's an interesting street

7:07 Speaker 5: because it goes by iron works. So the sight of

7:11 Speaker 5: an early iron works. Tallabrinom is noted for having the

7:15 Speaker 5: first iron works in all of North America, way back

7:19 Speaker 5: I guess in the sixteen hundreds. So we walked by

7:22 Speaker 5: this old iron works, but there was nothing strange about

7:25 Speaker 5: it was just interesting. There's a little river that goes

7:29 Speaker 5: under the street, and we'd stop and watch the water

7:32 Speaker 5: go by, and then we walked further on down and

7:36 Speaker 5: we'd make a root of them, maybe two three miles.

7:38 Speaker 5: And we did this every night for several years. And

7:42 Speaker 5: during this time, as I told you, not once did

7:45 Speaker 5: we see a car, not once. Not once did we

7:49 Speaker 5: see a light on never, not once. That's how quiet

7:52 Speaker 5: the town was back in those days. But one night

7:57 Speaker 5: we were almost finished with a walk, We were maybe

8:01 Speaker 5: one hundred yards from the house, maybe two hundred yards

8:04 Speaker 5: from the house. I didn't hear anything, was quiet as usual,

8:08 Speaker 5: But all of a sudden, Sammy was pulling on her leash.

8:12 Speaker 5: I always had her on a leash because you never

8:14 Speaker 5: know that dog might chase something, and it's just always

8:18 Speaker 5: best to keep your dog on a leash, no matter

8:20 Speaker 5: how well trained they are. So Sam was pulling up

8:22 Speaker 5: to least. Sam. What's wrong, Sammy? What's wrong? What's wrong? Sam?

8:27 Speaker 5: She's pulling at that leash? And now she was eighty

8:30 Speaker 5: pounds and she could probably pull a car. She wanted

8:33 Speaker 5: to do. She just wrong. She was pulling. She wanted

8:35 Speaker 5: to go home. She was frightened. She was literally scared

8:39 Speaker 5: almost to death. Sam. What's wrong? What's wrong? Sam? I

8:43 Speaker 5: had no idea, but she obviously was frightened. She was

8:47 Speaker 5: scared to death. And then I heard what scared her?

8:52 Speaker 6: God yeah, yeah, A want you Joe ye wan chu

9:03 Speaker 6: i wanchu here yeah.

9:08 Speaker 5: E huan chue. It was this high pitched cry coming

9:16 Speaker 5: from I don't know where, and it kept getting louder

9:21 Speaker 5: and louder. Here here you want shoe jo Joe jo?

9:28 Speaker 5: You don j Yeah here, And then in the light

9:36 Speaker 5: cast from a street lighter across the street, I saw

9:42 Speaker 5: what was scaring Sammy. It was a little kid. Are

9:54 Speaker 5: you all right? What you look like a little kid?

9:56 Speaker 5: Are you okays to me? You are right? Do you

10:02 Speaker 5: live near here? Can I help you? Here? Here? Ewe

10:09 Speaker 5: you Joe? E one?

10:13 Speaker 4: Joe never answered me, It never acknowledged me. It just

10:17 Speaker 4: kept saying here here e one, chue and to.

10:25 Speaker 3: Pause you a little bit, just to clarify. Those sound

10:29 Speaker 3: like real words, but just kind of tweaked.

10:33 Speaker 2: Now, what do you think those mean?

10:35 Speaker 5: In a short time? Okay, Now, Sammy was absolutely at

10:41 Speaker 5: at the end of her lease. Literally, she couldn't take

10:44 Speaker 5: it anymore. I had to do something. I had to

10:48 Speaker 5: do something. I talked to this thing for another minute

10:53 Speaker 5: or two, but by now I was convinced it was

10:56 Speaker 5: not a child. I had no idea what it was.

11:00 Speaker 5: It was about three feet tall. My drawing doesn't do

11:05 Speaker 5: it justice, but it gives you the idea that it

11:07 Speaker 5: had a childlike face, which it did. Now, body was

11:11 Speaker 5: like an old thing.

11:13 Speaker 2: Now when you looked into its eyes. I don't know

11:15 Speaker 2: if you if you know if that's how it played out.

11:19 Speaker 3: But when you looked into its eyes. Did it make

11:22 Speaker 3: you feel anyway, did it like, do you remember anything

11:26 Speaker 3: of any other feelings that you got?

11:30 Speaker 2: Were you scared?

11:31 Speaker 6: No?

11:32 Speaker 5: No, it looked like a little child. It looked like

11:36 Speaker 5: a little chipmunk. Maybe it was three feet tall and

11:40 Speaker 5: had a pot belly. It looked like it was old,

11:43 Speaker 5: except they had a young face. It did not look threatening.

11:47 Speaker 5: Number one. Number two. It did not advance on us.

11:50 Speaker 5: It did this kia kia yah, come here, come here,

11:58 Speaker 5: beckoning with its aw. It never advanced on us. It

12:03 Speaker 5: never stepped towards us. So was it threatening. Well, her

12:08 Speaker 5: voice was certainly threatening, but the body didn't look threatening.

12:11 Speaker 5: It didn't look scary. It looked basically much like what

12:16 Speaker 5: I'm showing in my illustration. But here's the thing, though

12:19 Speaker 5: it did not look scary to me. Though it did

12:22 Speaker 5: not look like it would hurt me, it scared Samantha

12:26 Speaker 5: almost to death. Now dogs know things that people don't know. Absolutely,

12:32 Speaker 5: So I took my cue from Samantha.

12:37 Speaker 3: Who was at this point literally at the end of

12:41 Speaker 3: her leash, freaking out. This is an eighty pound dog

12:44 Speaker 3: who could pull a truck right, like you said, who

12:48 Speaker 3: is quivering basically jumping through her skin to get away

12:53 Speaker 3: from this thing.

12:54 Speaker 5: Absolutely correct, Absolutely correct. So I said, if she's afraid

13:00 Speaker 5: of it, I must be afraid of it. I have

13:03 Speaker 5: to be afraid of it. And I let her pull

13:07 Speaker 5: me home. We went home, and I went inside and

13:12 Speaker 5: I thought about it. I told my wife about it.

13:15 Speaker 5: We talked about it for a while. I stayed up

13:18 Speaker 5: for hours, drinking cup after cup of coffee, and I

13:22 Speaker 5: arrived at what I think is the translation of what

13:25 Speaker 5: it was saying. It was trying to speak English, Kia

13:29 Speaker 5: kia is come here a wan chu is? We want you?

13:38 Speaker 5: Not I want you, not me want you? We want you.

13:44 Speaker 5: So there's more of them. I didn't see them, but

13:47 Speaker 5: there's more of them. They're out there in the high teas.

13:51 Speaker 5: I guess that's where they are out.

13:53 Speaker 3: There about these there's a name that there's a name

13:59 Speaker 3: that gets flu it around and I don't know where

14:01 Speaker 3: it comes from originally, but a puck.

14:07 Speaker 2: Wadgie, from your years of hindsight, is that what this is.

14:14 Speaker 5: I've never heard of a buckwadging.

14:17 Speaker 2: Okay.

14:17 Speaker 5: I had also never heard of the Bridgewater Triangle. I

14:21 Speaker 5: am not a paranormal guy. I've never been in a

14:23 Speaker 5: paranormal group. I don't know any of the much of

14:29 Speaker 5: the terminology of the paranormal world. I had never been

14:33 Speaker 5: a stargazer or anything like, so I had never heard

14:36 Speaker 5: of buck Watches. All I know it was a little

14:39 Speaker 5: hairy creature about three feet tall, and it was trying

14:44 Speaker 5: to talk to me. It was trying to communicate with me.

14:47 Speaker 5: It was trying to get me to come to it.

14:49 Speaker 5: It wasn't coming towards me. I have heard since then

14:53 Speaker 5: that that's the lure of the puck watchie. They have

14:57 Speaker 5: to lure you in, right, So that lines up. That

15:01 Speaker 5: makes sense. So it makes perfect sense now that I've

15:05 Speaker 5: heard about buck Watch used to say that that's probably

15:08 Speaker 5: what it was, right, And.

15:12 Speaker 3: If Samantha wasn't there that night, now let's play a

15:17 Speaker 3: little hypothetical. Right, Obviously you wouldn't have been on that

15:21 Speaker 3: walk because you wouldn't have been walking with who knows,

15:27 Speaker 3: But say you were on that walk alone, just for

15:30 Speaker 3: this hypothetical, what happened?

15:33 Speaker 2: What would happen? Would you have gone towards it?

15:36 Speaker 5: We my best new pal? How could you not? It

15:41 Speaker 5: was cut?

15:42 Speaker 2: It was and you're curious stuffed.

15:45 Speaker 5: Animal come to life? About three feet tall. And although

15:51 Speaker 5: this is an inaccurate representation of what I saw, it

15:55 Speaker 5: gives you the idea of what I saw. Something non threatening,

15:59 Speaker 5: something kind of cute, something childlike. That's what it was.

16:03 Speaker 5: And my new best fuddy.

16:06 Speaker 2: So you think they would have and I say they

16:09 Speaker 2: because it spoke of we? Do you think they would

16:14 Speaker 2: have taken you?

16:15 Speaker 3: And?

16:16 Speaker 2: Is could that be?

16:18 Speaker 3: I mean, I I don't want to make you speculate,

16:21 Speaker 3: but could that be? What happens to some people in

16:23 Speaker 3: the triangulation?

16:24 Speaker 5: Is what it is? Speculations? What we have to do?

16:28 Speaker 5: What would have happened to me? There was this one

16:32 Speaker 5: and he spoke of more? He or she whatever it was,

16:35 Speaker 5: spoke of more. So my best guess is that if

16:39 Speaker 5: I had gone over to it, you and I wouldn't

16:42 Speaker 5: be talking right now.

16:44 Speaker 2: My God, does that keep you up at night? Samantha

16:46 Speaker 2: saved your life potentially? I think so saved your life.

16:51 Speaker 5: I think she did.

16:53 Speaker 3: I mean, this is a commonplace. We know that biosensors, dogs,

16:58 Speaker 3: other animals are great indicators of when something's happening. I

17:05 Speaker 3: think you obviously made the right call, clearly. But after

17:11 Speaker 3: after this happens to you, how do you feel, how

17:16 Speaker 3: does your outlook on life change, what starts going through

17:20 Speaker 3: your head? Because this is not something that happens to

17:23 Speaker 3: people obviously, do you start thinking you're crazy? Do you.

17:31 Speaker 2: Drink more?

17:33 Speaker 5: You know? What what happened was the very next night

17:36 Speaker 5: we went out on the walk.

17:38 Speaker 2: Again, Oh god, you balls same route and.

17:43 Speaker 5: Saw nothing, no cars, no lights on in the windows.

17:47 Speaker 5: And we continued that for the remainder of Sam's life.

17:50 Speaker 5: She passed away in the year two thousand. Right up

17:54 Speaker 5: until the end, Sam and I still at the nip

17:56 Speaker 5: every day, not every day, you know, the weekends in

17:59 Speaker 5: the summer, and we still made our walk summer and

18:02 Speaker 5: winter at night, through the its, through the streets, and

18:07 Speaker 5: never again did we see this a chill creature, not once.

18:13 Speaker 5: I wish I had.

18:15 Speaker 2: Really, why is that?

18:17 Speaker 7: Well?

18:17 Speaker 5: How many people get to see a strange little creature

18:20 Speaker 5: like that and live to tell about it? So obviously

18:25 Speaker 5: it wasn't going to attack me, So I saw it again.

18:29 Speaker 5: Maybe we'd have a different conversation right now, it would

18:33 Speaker 5: turn out, but I'd like to find out. I'd like

18:36 Speaker 5: to see it again.

18:38 Speaker 2: That's very very interesting, and other people have claimed to

18:43 Speaker 2: have seen these things. It's not just you.

18:48 Speaker 3: If what you saw was what they describe as a puckwadgy,

18:52 Speaker 3: and it sounds very, very very consistent with the lore

18:56 Speaker 3: of the puckwadgy or whatever it is. But did you

19:02 Speaker 3: start researching into other cases and other sightings that people had.

19:07 Speaker 3: Did you ever try to reach out to anyone who

19:10 Speaker 3: had sightings?

19:11 Speaker 2: Nothing like that.

19:12 Speaker 5: I still do not have an interest in the paranormal.

19:15 Speaker 5: I'm interested in the swimming pool. I'm in South Florida.

19:18 Speaker 5: I liked the swimming pool. I walk around the lake,

19:21 Speaker 5: and that's it.

19:22 Speaker 2: So And you've never.

19:26 Speaker 3: You've never made a dollar off this. You've never profited,

19:30 Speaker 3: you've never profited off this story.

19:32 Speaker 2: You've never sought attention or fame. You're just a guy

19:40 Speaker 2: who saw something.

19:41 Speaker 5: I wrote a blog about it, and that blog was

19:46 Speaker 5: read by a lot of people. In fact, that blog

19:49 Speaker 5: was eventually what led to my appearance in that twenty

19:54 Speaker 5: thirteen Triangle documentary. And I've been on a you TV

20:00 Speaker 5: shows and some radio shows and things like that. I

20:05 Speaker 5: guess I enjoy talking about it because I've done it

20:07 Speaker 5: now for what.

20:13 Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, more well, yeah, it's a way of experiencing

20:18 Speaker 3: it again. I think what you're doing is something that

20:22 Speaker 3: more people need to do. And what the problem I

20:26 Speaker 3: think is with it? And I'm not characterizing you, because

20:31 Speaker 3: clearly you are the opposite, but what a problem with

20:34 Speaker 3: your generation is You guys are always taught to rub

20:38 Speaker 3: some dirt in it, right, brush it off, and just

20:42 Speaker 3: keep it, keep it moving.

20:43 Speaker 2: Right?

20:44 Speaker 3: You walked both somehow, you guys walked both ways to

20:47 Speaker 3: school uphill right. It didn't even make sense. It still

20:52 Speaker 3: makes no sense. That's who that your your generation was, right?

20:58 Speaker 3: And do you think that played a role in your

21:02 Speaker 3: non interest in kind of finding out more about this?

21:06 Speaker 3: Because if I had that sighting, I wouldn't stop. I

21:10 Speaker 3: would be obsessed.

21:12 Speaker 5: Well, it just wasn't my thing. Never been interested in

21:15 Speaker 5: outer space or you know, any of the paranormal things.

21:22 Speaker 5: Just not what I'm into.

21:23 Speaker 2: Seeing what you saw? What's your answer to this question?

21:27 Speaker 2: Are we alone in the universe?

21:31 Speaker 5: I can't answer that question. I can tell you I

21:34 Speaker 5: saw something that is really bizarre, really strange, but I

21:39 Speaker 5: don't attach any greater significance to it. I don't speculate

21:43 Speaker 5: on it just happened.

21:45 Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was non human and it seemed intelligent.

21:51 Speaker 3: It was clearly intelligent, intelligent enough to do what it did.

21:56 Speaker 3: And I find that to be the like super super intriguing.

22:01 Speaker 3: So again, you know the months or days and weeks

22:05 Speaker 3: leading up or post incident again, I want to go

22:09 Speaker 3: bring you back. How are you feeling again post incident?

22:13 Speaker 5: Well, I'm sad that I didn't see it again. As

22:17 Speaker 5: I told you, we made that walk many many times.

22:19 Speaker 5: I don't understand why I didn't see it again. I

22:24 Speaker 5: didn't threaten it. It did not threaten me. I didn't

22:28 Speaker 5: engage it. But you know, if I have seen it

22:31 Speaker 5: six or seven times each time, I probably would have

22:35 Speaker 5: gotten closer and closer until at one time then I went.

22:39 Speaker 2: Up and took its hand right right, Who knows what

22:43 Speaker 2: that would have brought, right? So, how has this impacted

22:46 Speaker 2: your life? I mean it seems like.

22:48 Speaker 5: It's not not at all, no effect at all.

22:53 Speaker 2: So a lot of.

22:55 Speaker 3: People who who say they went through that experience I

22:59 Speaker 3: don't think could be able to say that. I think

23:02 Speaker 3: it would shake them to their core just because they

23:06 Speaker 3: I mean, even though it looked cute, I.

23:09 Speaker 5: Don't think about it very much, but not very much.

23:14 Speaker 2: Right, Well, Bill, I do you think you were meant

23:17 Speaker 2: to see what you saw that night, and maybe I.

23:20 Speaker 5: Can't speculate on that. I have no idea. Okay, the

23:24 Speaker 5: only guy in that town to be out walking at night,

23:28 Speaker 5: That's why I saw it, because there was nobody else there.

23:33 Speaker 3: Well, that's that's why I asked, is you know if

23:36 Speaker 3: you make that route every night and then there's thing's

23:40 Speaker 3: just there, it kind of makes me wonder if it

23:44 Speaker 3: was what if it had watched your routine and kind of,

23:49 Speaker 3: you know, sought you out.

23:52 Speaker 5: But I don't know.

23:53 Speaker 2: I guess you're right with speculation. Of speculation, but they're.

23:57 Speaker 5: Probably in the high Tis and there was only one

24:00 Speaker 5: person on the streets at night, So that is why

24:03 Speaker 5: I sell it.

24:05 Speaker 3: Now, can't you gave a good description of exactly where

24:11 Speaker 3: it took place? So I obviously a year back in

24:16 Speaker 3: South Florida, I want to go to the exact spot,

24:21 Speaker 3: So can you describe the spot to me?

24:25 Speaker 5: I'll tell you off camera because I don't want a

24:28 Speaker 5: thousand people going there.

24:29 Speaker 2: My son still lives in the house, gotcha, and I.

24:34 Speaker 5: Still have neighbors there that really don't want me to

24:37 Speaker 5: disclose the exact location. If people wanted to search, they

24:42 Speaker 5: could probably figure it out. But we don't want it

24:45 Speaker 5: to turn into.

24:46 Speaker 3: Some sort of a tourist trap. Yeah, yeah, no, definitely,

24:51 Speaker 3: I can totally understand that. But we're on our you know,

24:57 Speaker 3: we're on our on our Bridgewater tour, and would you

25:02 Speaker 3: recommend any places that we should visit? The High T's

25:09 Speaker 3: obviously being one of.

25:10 Speaker 5: Them, HeiG is one of them.

25:12 Speaker 2: And the Nip and the Nip what is the nip?

25:16 Speaker 5: Oh?

25:18 Speaker 2: Exactly, I don't know exactly what that means.

25:21 Speaker 5: Okay, the Nip is Lake nipp and Nicket.

25:25 Speaker 1: Oh.

25:26 Speaker 5: Now, Lake nippin Nicket is on the Bridgewater random line

25:31 Speaker 5: and it's a small lake. And the interesting thing about

25:35 Speaker 5: this lake it's closed off. You can't go swimming there anymore.

25:42 Speaker 5: Around the year two thousand and the town brought in

25:45 Speaker 5: trucks full of big rocks and they covered a big

25:48 Speaker 5: sandy beach that was there. They closed it because they

25:51 Speaker 5: claimed many people drowned in it. Now, to my knowledge,

25:54 Speaker 5: there were one or two drownings in a period of

25:56 Speaker 5: twenty or thirty years. I don't know of any other drownings.

25:59 Speaker 5: But it got the reputation as a killer.

26:01 Speaker 2: Lake and they shut it down.

26:04 Speaker 5: Cut it down, and violators can be fine or jailed

26:09 Speaker 5: if you go swimming in the Nip. Now it's open

26:12 Speaker 5: to the public. Still, you can sit and look at

26:15 Speaker 5: the water, you just can't go in it. Now, here's

26:18 Speaker 5: the interesting thing about the Nip. You can walk across

26:21 Speaker 5: the Nip from one side to the other if you're

26:23 Speaker 5: a basketball player, and you won't even get your chin wet.

26:28 Speaker 5: At its deepest, it might be six feet. Now, I

26:31 Speaker 5: walked by myself almost half way across, and it was

26:37 Speaker 5: up to my shoulders. I'm five to eight, so I

26:39 Speaker 5: didn't want to go all the way across because I

26:41 Speaker 5: had a little bit of a fear that there might

26:45 Speaker 5: be channels in the Nip and if people drowned, maybe

26:49 Speaker 5: they fell into a channel. It was a swift current, right,

26:53 Speaker 5: So if you go to the Nip, and if you

26:56 Speaker 5: want to break the law, you could walk across it

26:59 Speaker 5: because it's average depth is three feet and its greatest

27:03 Speaker 5: depth is six feet.

27:05 Speaker 2: A killer lake that that that doesn't exceed six but.

27:09 Speaker 5: It is a part of the triangle, a scary part.

27:12 Speaker 2: Well no, no, well, absolutely in the middle of the Nip.

27:18 Speaker 5: And they say at night they see these strange fires,

27:23 Speaker 5: but the Nip isn't really on fire. The trees aren't

27:27 Speaker 5: really on fire, but they see these fires, the ghost fires.

27:30 Speaker 3: I guess well, I'm sorry, let's run that back a

27:34 Speaker 3: little bit. Did you say there's an island.

27:37 Speaker 5: There's an island in the middle. You can you can

27:40 Speaker 5: put a boat in, you can launch a boat. There's

27:41 Speaker 5: a boat launch. You can go to the island if

27:44 Speaker 5: you're brave, if you want to investigate someplace in the triangle,

27:48 Speaker 5: I would suggest.

27:49 Speaker 2: You go to the nip all right, thank you, Bill, Right.

27:54 Speaker 5: One O four in Bridgewater. And random stories are that

27:58 Speaker 5: there is strange fires at night and glowing things things

28:02 Speaker 5: like that at night.

28:03 Speaker 2: That's that's really bizarre.

28:06 Speaker 5: Sam and I swim there for years, probably five six,

28:09 Speaker 5: eight years, and we never had any strange encounter or

28:13 Speaker 5: anything like that. We loved them if it was a great.

28:15 Speaker 3: Swimming area, right right, right, So yeah, that's odd. That's

28:19 Speaker 3: a very that's very odd, because, like you said, you

28:22 Speaker 3: can only account for two drownings, and that would not

28:27 Speaker 3: be enough to close beach.

28:30 Speaker 5: So you gotta you got a reputation that had the

28:33 Speaker 5: reputation as a killer link. Yeah, and the research I did,

28:39 Speaker 5: I found one confirmed drowning. But just looking online, I'm

28:46 Speaker 5: sure if somebody went through newspaper records they could get

28:49 Speaker 5: a better search. But just searching online, I only found

28:53 Speaker 5: one drowning. And all the time I lived there, which

28:56 Speaker 5: was the night all of the nineteen nineties, there were

28:59 Speaker 5: no drawmage that I know of.

29:03 Speaker 2: Really really weird.

29:04 Speaker 3: I wonder if the I wonder if the you know,

29:07 Speaker 3: because I've I've spoken to other people, like obviously like

29:11 Speaker 3: Harry and.

29:13 Speaker 5: All the US carry you'll give you the details of

29:17 Speaker 5: the nip. Yeah.

29:18 Speaker 2: And it's you know when I ask, when I ask around,

29:21 Speaker 2: you know, about.

29:24 Speaker 3: Whether you know Bridgewater acknowledges the triangle, uh, from a

29:30 Speaker 3: capacity you know, like in government and law enforcement, et cetera.

29:36 Speaker 3: And do they you know, have records and uh, he

29:39 Speaker 3: said that the records are really really scarce when it

29:44 Speaker 3: comes to the Bridgewater Triangle. And it's that's a very

29:47 Speaker 3: odd thing because even the smallest of towns keep detailed

29:52 Speaker 3: records of of events, like you know, the out of

29:57 Speaker 3: the ordinary, you know, even just all events. So I

30:01 Speaker 3: find it very very very weird that they shut this

30:06 Speaker 3: lake down. You know, you've only really heard about the

30:10 Speaker 3: one drowning. People have seen what they report to be

30:15 Speaker 3: ghost fires on the island right, it's only six feet deep.

30:19 Speaker 3: It's got a reputation, it's a killer lake. There's just

30:21 Speaker 3: a you've seen and you saw your sighting near in

30:27 Speaker 3: close proximity to it. There's so it looks like that's

30:31 Speaker 3: going to be a spot that I have to go.

30:33 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm only three miles right, three miles from Well.

30:39 Speaker 3: I think you've given me some absolutely amazing testimony, Bill,

30:44 Speaker 3: and I just want to say thank you so much

30:46 Speaker 3: for taking time out of your day. I know you

30:49 Speaker 3: know you've got to go a lot going on lately

30:52 Speaker 3: with everything, so I can't wait to get this out

30:56 Speaker 3: to people.

30:57 Speaker 2: And I really just want to say thank you for

30:59 Speaker 2: telling your story. All right, that's my pleasure.

31:14 Speaker 5: You need not strive s Nos love God. Do you

31:35 Speaker 5: say hello? Please?

31:38 Speaker 2: Last time you said hello? Do you say it again?

31:43 Speaker 5: We'd really like to hear your voice. If you need help,

31:47 Speaker 5: can you say help? Okay, I don't care if any

32:22 Speaker 5: bother police. I was in my grandmother's house. I think

32:25 Speaker 5: this is the story you told me on the phone.

32:27 Speaker 5: On the phone, yeah, I did, Like, Okay, I go

32:29 Speaker 5: my mother's house.

32:29 Speaker 7: And you'll know I'm saying the truth, because that's not

32:32 Speaker 7: nothing's gonna change.

32:33 Speaker 5: I was there and there's a window on the top

32:35 Speaker 5: of the ceiling, and staking I don't know why there

32:39 Speaker 5: was a window in the ceiling. I've never seen a

32:41 Speaker 5: house like that.

32:42 Speaker 7: And she was a little boy, I know how old

32:44 Speaker 7: there was, thirteen fourteen, no more than fifteen. And then

32:47 Speaker 7: all of a sudden, you know, I don't get my

32:49 Speaker 7: I got I guess I got what phone.

32:51 Speaker 5: I can see around me and everything, and I you know,

32:54 Speaker 5: and then like I looked, I looked at the window.

32:58 Speaker 5: I was like what I was like, I couldn't believe

33:00 Speaker 5: what I was looking at him. He's like there it

33:02 Speaker 5: was clear of you.

33:03 Speaker 7: It was a witch on some kind of those brooms,

33:07 Speaker 7: ancient roomstick. She was skinny, she was a white woman.

33:12 Speaker 7: And she looked at me, mean, she not something to

33:15 Speaker 7: like me, and she gave me a breaking look. And

33:17 Speaker 7: I'm looking at like what ACT was like, Who's

33:20 Speaker 4: Gonna believe that
