Cryptid Crawl #21: Massachusetts Mayhem! The Dover Demon, the Bridgewater Triangle, and the Black Flash of Provincetown

This week, The Spooky Darlings head to the Bay State for a Cryptid Crawl filled with tiny demons, cursed swamps, and a shadowy blue-glowing-eyed creature with superhuman strength leaping through the fog.First, we dive into the eyewitness accounts of the Dover Demon — the bizarre, big-eyed creature spotted crawling along stone walls by terrified teens in 1977. Then we venture into the infamous Bridgewater Triangle, a region packed with UFO sightings, phantom animals, poltergeist activity, and generations of eerie encounters. Finally, we head to the coast to uncover the mystery of Provincetown’s Black Flash: a dark, lightning-fast figure said to sprint through the town, strike fiercely when provoked, and disappear into the night.Are these creatures misunderstood cryptids, local folklore gone wild, or something even stranger lurking in Massachusetts after dark?Light your candles and settle in for the spooky tales, darlings.Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dover_Demonhttp://www.strange-new-england.com/2015/10/21/dover-demon/https://cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Dover_Demonhttps://garyreddin.substack.com/p/the-dover-demon?r=2xommj&utm_medium=ios&triedRedirect=true“Decades later, the Dover Demon still haunts” By Mark Sullivan, Boston Globe Correspondent  |  October 29, 2006 “Monsters of Massachussetts”, by Loren Colemanwww.gothichorrorstories.com/gothic-travel/by-location/new-england/cape-cod/the-black-flash-of-provincetown-ma-folk-horror-and-hysteria-from-new-england-echoes-in-the-midwestern-countryside/&ved=2ahUKEwjNq-X0iKmUAxVTHjQIHZ1lFk0QFnoECBwQAQ&usg=AOvVaw03_5yfXzrwy_EQzmeuh4vJhttps://newenglandfolklore.blogspot.com/2017/06/the-black-flash-of-provincetown-hoax-or.htmlhttps://www.preston-posits.com/blog/cryptids-of-north-america-pt-5-massachusettsMessage us!Thanks for listening to The Spooky Darlings!
