Them Bones, Them Bones
Bones. Bones in the Bridgewater Triangle. Bones of the murdered and bones of the first people of the area: the thousands and thousands of bones of the Massachusetts and Wampanoag tribes who made Bridgewater their home before plague infected them with tainted suits and blankets given as gifts by the colonists. Bones being unearthed has always been a major theme in the Bridgewater Triangle, but those bones are usually found to be part of Native American Burial Grounds, many found in the area dating back to 6,000 BC, in towns like Norton, Rehoboth, and East Bridgewater.
Just last week, on November 5, bones were found in the woods on the Brockton/East Bridgewater line by a local hiker. The bones were determined by anthropologists on the scene to be that of an adult male. Last March, a petrified foot that was believed to be human was found in the woods near The Royal Wampanoag Cemetery in Lakeville. The official conclusion after weeks of study was that the foot was not human, but rather was a bear. Many locals still don't accept this conclusion. But nothing, nothing can compare to last night's discovery. This, to me, is the most horrific story concerning bones I have ever yet to hear in my years of researching the area. Last night were found human bones burning in a barrel near Bridgewater State Correctional Facility (one of the Bridgewater Triangle's “hotspots.”)
This morning the Brockton Enterprise reported, “What authorities say appear to be partial human remains were found in a burning barrel in Bridgewater woods behind the Bridgewater State Correctional facility Wednesday night, a release from the District Attorney stated Thursday. At 7:51 p.m. Wednesday, local police and firefighters responded to the wooded area off Titicut Street to find a barrel on fire, with what appeared to be human remains inside, the release stated. Police, Thursday, had blocked off an area surrounding where the remains were located, authorities said.
The announcement was made Thursday in a press release issued by the Plymouth County District Attorney's office, Bridgewater Police Chief Christopher Delmonte and Department of Correction Commissioner Luis F. Spencer.”
