The Bridgewater Triangle's Freaky Little Waterman's Bird Farm






Bob Waterman's unique brand of advertising stands on the side of the road off of Route 105 in Halifax.

Not paranormal--but far from normal--is a freaky little farm tucked away on Old Summit Street in Halifax, right off of haunted route 105. There are signs everywhere leading the way. They want you to come. The signs pointing to the farm are adorned with eye catching decorations like plastic snowmen and Santa Clauses. You follow the weathered signs and you arrive at what looks to be at first glance a place that's half Pee Wee's Playhouse and half house of horrors. 

 


 
Dirty stuffed animals and dolls dangle by their necks from trees. Old spring rocking horses are everywhere. You ask yourself, what the hell is this place?   You feel like you are trespassing into the mind of a madman. You suddenly get the feeling you shouldn't be here. That's when the cutest old man welcomes you to his farm and asks you if you would like to see the birds. He takes you beyond the gates of the farm and now you see that the place is huge. And the whole place is decorated very much like the front yard. More 70's rocking horses. More children's toys. More Christmas decor...more Santas. One dangles from a rope about 30 feet up in a tree over a small pond. Santa is just inches from submersion. You are now feeling very much like you are in a Fellini movie. Bob Waterman points at the Santa with glee. "See my Santa?" he says with a wonderful laugh. "That's how I churn the pond in the winter to keep it from freezing. So the ducks have a place to drink from."

There are old Christmas trees everywhere, giving the birds a place to perch. Bob tells me that Nesarella's Farm in Halifax gives him the trees, the leftover's from the Christmas season. There is a heaping pile of bread for the hundreds of birds here at Waterman's Bird Farm. Stop and Shop in Halifax donates the bread.
You are feeling completely overwhelmed from sensory overload. You never knew that birds could be so interesting and beautiful. And they are everywhere. Fluffy ones that look like cats. Chickens that look like they are walking on stilts. Babies and protective mothers. Eggs waiting to hatch. A peacock spreads its feathers six feet wide and it makes you gasp with its beauty. Now you are feeling very lucky to have followed the signs to Waterman's Bird Farm, because this is quite a unique experience.
 
 
 
You tell Bob Waterman that this place is so special that he could charge admission. With a wave of his hand, he says, "Nah...I do it for the children." Then he tells you that he collects toys at yard sales and uses them to decorate the bird farm for kids. Awwww...you want to adopt this guy. What looked creepy and eerie when you pulled up suddenly looks magical...when you see it through Bob Waterman's eyes. Waterman's Bird Farm. Check it out!

Comfort Bridge & The Solitude Stone

Image
The Solitude Stone lay undiscovered for 80 years...until a local girl went missing after one fateful canoe trip in West Bridgewater in the summer of 1916. If Evelyn Packard hadn't mysteriously died, her body not found for days, the Solitude Stone might never had been discovered at all. 1916. A missing girl vanishes from a canoe on the Town River in West Bridgewater within a half hour after she rents her canoe. The canoe is found shortly after with no clues as to her whereabouts. Her coat and a pillow are found inside the canoe "bone dry." One headline read: "Doctors Fear Girl is Crazed in Hockomock Swamp." After combing the woods for days and finding no clues as to her whereabouts, foul play is suspected. During one of grueling searches of the woods of the swamp, a local reporter decides to take a break and sits down  on nearby Comfort Bridge, a bridge that at the time was made out of three immense ancient stones. Up until of August of 1916, no

Freetown Forest: Unidentified Floating Objects Descend From The Sky In 1942

Image
"None of the witnesses saw any "human forms," and one witness suggested perhaps it was parts of a plane that fell to the ground. But no plane parts were found. "None of the citizens reporting to police were certain that the objects floating down were human, but they were certain that "something" had descended over the Freetown and Assonet areas." What fell from the skies over Freetown Forest on the night of November 4, 1942? I don't know. And neither did the witnesses who saw the "objects" descending from the sky and down into the forest that night, nor did the police who investigated the incident. After receiving four separate reports that night from nervous citizens who witnessed the event, police took the indent very seriously.  Some witness described the objects as looking like parachutes. And why wouldn't they? It was the dawn of World War II and anything suspicious would certainly be percieved as relating to the war. It is

The Bridgewater Triangle Bigfoot & the Purple Laser Beam

Image
By Kristen Good John Stanga is in his mid-fifties now and far away from the Bridgewater Triangle, having settled in North Carolina as an adult. But not a day goes by where Stanga does not think of most bizarre night of his life, when he and childhood friend witnessed a double whammy of a Class A Bigfoot sighting followed by a strange purple beam that shot down from the sky in South Weymouth. (A location about three miles from the northern tip of the area delineated as "The Bridgewater Triangle. ") John Stanga contacted me in 2011 with the following account: “I want to relay this story about, for the lack of a better term, “Bigfoot” sighting me and my best friend Dave had in September 1972 in South Weymouth, Massachusetts. The date was Friday, Sept. 29, 1972 at about 7:30 pm. Dave and I were 14 years old at the time and had known each other since 1 st grade. What happened that night is as follows: Dave’s family just moved to a new neighborhood they
