Bridgewater Triangle: Local Folklore & The Paranormal

This is the second episode of our October series! 
In this one, Rachael discusses all things folklore and paranormal. She covers The Freetown State Forest, the Taunton State Hospital, and the legend of Pukwudgies (which culminates in a tantalizing discussion surrounding...strawberry bread? It'll all make sense in the end, trust me).

There's mention of Big Foot (because how could there not be?), UFOs, and several different ghosts, each with very different personalities and methods of inducing fear.

This is very likely our most unhinged episode thus far. You've been warned!
