Discovery's 'Expedition X' Explores MA's Bridgewater Triangle

Massachusetts’ infamous Bridgewater Triangle once again makes national television tonight, when it will be the subject of the latest episode of the Discovery series Expedition X.

The series is a spinoff of the popular Expedition Unknown, with host and explorer Josh Gates sending his team consisting of Phil Torres and Heather Amaro to investigate mysteries and legends.

This time around, they’re delving into the Bridgewater Triangle in what looks like a pretty freaky episode. The team is expected to focus heavily on the stories that come out of the Hockomock Swamp.

What Is Massachusetts' Bridgewater Triangle?

The Bridgewater Triangle is a roughly 200-square-mile portion of southeastern Massachusetts that has a high concentration of paranormal activity, everything from ghost encounters to UFO sightings to mysterious Bigfoot-like creatures. The term was coined by Loren Coleman in his 1983 book Mysterious America and later profiled in the 2013 documentary The Bridgewater Triangle by Dartmouth resident Aaron Cadieux.

Paranormal Activity Reported in Massachusetts' Bridgewater Triangle

In his 1983 book Mysterious America, cryptozoologist Loren Coleman introduced a term he originally coined in the late 1970s – the Bridgewater Triangle – to describe an area with an abnormal level of paranormal activity and high strangeness in Southeastern Massachusetts. Over the years, the concept of the Triangle has expanded to include ghostly reports, UFO sightings, cryptid encounters, alien abductions and more across a wider swath of Southern New England.
