The Pukwudgie: Vengeful Beasts of the Bridgewater Triangle THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 49

Step into the ancient, whispering woods of New England as we unmask one of the most unique and malevolent creatures in Native American folklore: the Pukwudgie. Rooted in the oral traditions of the Wampanoag Nation, these 2-to-4-foot tall "little wild men" are far from harmless sprites—they are powerful tricksters and dangerous spirits. Jon explores their terrifying origins, including the story of the giant Maushop and their banishment, which fuels their intense hatred for humanity. Discover their supernatural abilities, such as shapeshifting, mind control, and their power to lure victims to their doom with phantom lights and whispers. Learn why the infamous Bridgewater Triangle in Massachusetts, and particularly the foreboding Hockomock Swamp, is considered the primary hotspot for Pukwudgie encounters, and hear about the eerie modern sightings that keep this chilling legend alive. Watch your step—because in these woods, you might be dealing with an unseen enemy. Don't forget to Like, Subscribe, and Hit That Notification Bell!
