  • Pukwudgies: Tricksters of the Bridgewater Triangle
    Mar 12 2026

    Today we explore the Bridgewater Triangle and its elusive residents, the Pukwudgies. These small humanoid tricksters from Algonquian folklore have been reported in Freetown State Forest for decades.

    Robin and Chris share detailed eyewitness accounts, including Bill Russo from Raynham, Massachusetts, who encountered a three-foot tall gray figure with glowing eyes in the late 1990s. From rocks mysteriously stacked, glowing eyes, and strange sounds to playful mischief and objects moved without explanation, Pukwudgies are clever, mischievous, and unforgettable.

    Join us as we wander the trails, stone walls, ponds, and swamps of Freetown State Forest and uncover the stories behind these fascinating creatures.
