The Bridgewater Triangle is an approximately 200-square-mile area in southeastern Massachusetts, known for a high concentration of alleged paranormal phenomena. The term was coined by cryptozoologist Loren Coleman in the 1970s.

Within this "triangle," defined by the towns of Abington, Freetown, and Rehoboth, a wide array of strange occurrences have been reported, including:

• UFOs and anomalous lights: Sightings of unidentified flying objects, often described as balls of light or unusual aircraft.
• Cryptid sightings: Reports of creatures not typically found in the region, such as Bigfoot-like humanoids, giant snakes, and "Thunderbirds" (large, bird-like creatures).
• Ghosts and poltergeists: Accounts of hauntings, apparitions, and other spectral phenomena in various locations, including Bridgewater State University and the Taunton State Hospital.
• Cult activity and animal mutilations: Incidents of animal sacrifices and ritualistic mutilations have been reported, particularly in the Freetown-Fall River State Forest, which is also associated with a history of gangland murders and suicides.
• Native American legends: Many of the reported phenomena are tied to the region's Native American history, particularly the Wampanoag people. The Hockomock Swamp, a central feature of the triangle, translates to "place where spirits dwell" in Algonquin and is believed to be a sacred burial ground. Some legends suggest that the area is cursed due to conflicts with colonial settlers or the loss of a revered Wampanoag wampum belt. Another creature from Algonquian folklore, the Pukwudgie, a mischievous "little people", is also said to inhabit the area.

Key hotspots within the Bridgewater Triangle include the vast Hockomock Swamp and the Freetown-Fall River State Forest. While many of the stories are folklore, the sheer volume and diversity of alleged paranormal events have made the Bridgewater Triangle a well-known location for paranormal enthusiasts and researchers.

Sam the Sandown Ghost Clown is a bizarre and mysterious figure from one of the UK's strangest alleged paranormal encounters. The story originates from a report published in the 1970s in a British paranormal magazine called Bufora Journal, which is associated with the British UFO Research Association (BUFORA). It is one of the most surreal accounts in British folklore and fringe paranormal lore.

🧩 The Encounter

• Date: May 1973
• Location: Sandown, Isle of Wight, England
• Witnesses: Two children, a boy and a girl (approximately 7 years old)

---

👻 What Happened

While playing near a golf course close to the Sandown Airport, the two children reportedly heard a strange wailing or siren-like noise. Investigating the sound, they crossed a wooden footbridge over a stream and encountered a strange being.

They described the figure as:

• Over 7 feet tall
• Very thin
• Wearing a strange, patchwork outfit
• Having a white face with a red triangle on it
• Sporting glove-like hands and wooden-sounding feet
• Moving with jerky, mechanical motions

He did not act threateningly—instead, he seemed friendly but extremely odd.

---

🗣️ The Conversation

The entity didn't speak at first but later communicated with the children using a small notebook. Eventually, he began speaking in a garbled voice. He told them:

• His name was "Sam"
• He was not human
• He lived in a metal hut (or structure) partially hidden by brush and grass
• He had no name for his species
• He described himself as a "ghost" but also as something more alien or interdimensional

He invited the children into his home, where they observed strange furniture and devices. He even offered them food (which they declined).

---

🕵️‍♂️ Aftermath

The children told their parents about the encounter. One of the parents believed them enough to contact BUFORA, and the story was eventually published. The children’s names were never released publicly, and the story was primarily reported from the perspective of one of the children via the parent.

Despite its eerie nature, no other sightings of Sam have ever been reported.

---

🤔 Interpretations

Theories about Sam include:

• An alien entity or interdimensional being
• A ghost or elemental spirit
• A hallucination or fabricated story
• A misinterpreted event involving a performer, recluse, or local eccentric

Because it is so unique and deeply strange, Sam the Sandown Ghost Clown has achieved near-mythic status in fringe and internet folklore circles. It defies easy categorization—unlike typical alien abduction or ghost stories.

📚 Cultural Legacy

Sam has become a creepy folklore figure in the paranormal community. He's been covered in:

• Podcasts like The Unexplained and Monsters Among Us
• YouTube channels exploring cryptids and high strangeness
• Internet horror and "liminal" storytelling spaces

Hy Brasil

Come along as we discuss the legendary island of Hy Brasil.

You can find all of our wonderful links on the linktree: https://linktr.ee/allts

Hy-Brasil (also spelled Hy-Brasil, Hy Breasail, or simply Brasil) is a legendary island said to lie in the Atlantic Ocean, west of Ireland. It appears in Irish mythology and maritime lore as a mysterious, often vanishing land, and has intrigued mapmakers, explorers, and storytellers for centuries. Here's a detailed overview:

Origins and Name

• Etymology: The name Hy-Brasil likely comes from the Irish “Uí Breasail,” meaning “descendants (or clan) of Bresal,” an ancient Irish clan. It has no connection to the modern country of Brazil, despite the similar name.
• It was sometimes referred to as the "Isle of the Blessed" and was associated with paradise-like qualities.

Myth and Folklore

• In Irish myth, Hy-Brasil was a hidden island, often shrouded in mist and only visible once every seven years—though even when visible, it could not be reached.
• It was described as a place of great beauty and abundance, sometimes even as a utopian society or a land of advanced knowledge and technology.
• Some versions of the legend say it was home to wise sages or priests with powerful secrets.

Cartographic Appearances

• Hy-Brasil began appearing on medieval maps as early as the 14th century, often west of Ireland or southwest of Galway Bay.
• It was included on several well-known maps:
  • The 1325 portolan chart by Angelo Dalorto
  • The 1375 Catalan Atlas
  • As late as the 1800s, some maps still included it, sometimes depicted as a circular island split by a river.

Explorers and Sightings

• Over the centuries, several explorers claimed to have seen or tried to visit Hy-Brasil.
• In 1674, Captain John Nisbet, sailing from France to Ireland, allegedly encountered the island and described it as inhabited and fertile.
• Other 17th-century reports added to the myth, suggesting that travelers who reached it were granted knowledge or returned with riches.

Modern Interpretations

• Lost Island Theory: Some speculate Hy-Brasil could be a memory of a real island that has since sunk, or a misidentified location like the Porcupine Bank (a submerged plateau west of Ireland).
• Paranormal & UFO Lore: In 1980, Hy-Brasil was mentioned in the Rendlesham Forest UFO incident, where a map reportedly shown to one witness (under hypnosis) contained coordinates matching the supposed location of Hy-Brasil—adding to its modern mystery appeal.

Cultural Legacy

• The island has inspired works in literature, music, and art, symbolizing the unreachable ideal, a lost civilization, or mystical knowledge.
• It continues to appear in fantasy and speculative fiction as a place of wonder and enigma.

The "curse of King Tut" is a captivating tale that has woven itself into the fabric of Egyptian archaeological lore. It centers around the alleged misfortunes that befell those involved in the discovery of Pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922. Here's a look at the narrative:

• The Discovery and Early Events:

  • When Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon opened the tomb, it was a momentous occasion. However, soon after, a series of unsettling events began to occur.
  • Lord Carnarvon's untimely death, just months after the tomb's opening, fueled the burgeoning belief in a pharaoh's curse.

• The Spread of the Legend:

  • The media played a significant role in amplifying the stories, creating a widespread sense of mystery and fear.

From The Files Of project Bluebook 9

Sorry guys, I accidentally uploaded the after hours in stead of the actual episode. Here is the real deal. Enjoy!

 

Come along for another installment of everyone's favorite old ufo document show, From The Files Of Project Bluebook!

https://linktr.ee/allts

 

Project Blue Book was a U.S. Air Force study of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) from 1952 to 1969. It was the third such study, following Project Sign and Project Grudge. The project was headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, and was publicly discontinued in December 1969.

 

The project had two primary goals:

1. To determine if UFOs were a threat to national security.
    
2. To scientifically analyze UFO-related data. 
    

Over the course of its existence, Project Blue Book collected and analyzed over 12,000 UFO reports. The vast majority of these reports were eventually explained as misidentified natural phenomena, conventional aircraft, or hoaxes. However, a small percentage of cases remained unexplained.

 

The project's conclusions were that no UFO ever posed a threat to national security, and that there was no evidence that UFOs were extraterrestrial spacecraft. These conclusions have been widely disputed by UFO researchers and enthusiasts, who argue that the Air Force did not adequately investigate the phenomenon and that some UFO sightings remain unexplained.

 

Project Blue Book remains a controversial topic, with many people believing that the government is still hiding information about UFOs. The project has been the subject of numerous books, documentaries, and television shows, including a recent History Channel series of the same name.

The Silver Conspiracy Part 2

Come along for part two of the Silver Conspiracy!

You can find all of our wonderful links on the Linktree: https://linktr.ee/allts

The Silver Market

The silver market involves the buying, selling, and trading of silver, a precious metal with industrial, monetary, and investment value. It operates globally, with major trading hubs in London, New York, and Shanghai. Silver is traded in various forms, including physical bullion (bars and coins), exchange-traded products (ETPs), futures contracts, and as part of industrial goods.

Spot Price Determination

The spot price of silver is the current market price at which silver can be bought or sold for immediate delivery. It is determined by:

1. Global Supply and Demand:

   • Supply comes from mining, recycling, and above-ground stockpiles.
   • Demand spans industrial uses (solar panels, electronics), jewelry, investment, and medical applications.

2. Futures Markets:

   • Trading on commodity exchanges, such as COMEX (New York) and LBMA (London), heavily influences the spot price.
   • Futures prices reflect traders' expectations about the future price of silver, which impacts the spot price.

3. Currency Strength:

   • Silver is typically priced in U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in the dollar's value can affect the silver price.

4. Economic Conditions:

   • Inflation, interest rates, and geopolitical events can increase or decrease silver demand as a safe-haven asset, influencing prices.

5. Market Liquidity:

   • Larger buy or sell orders can move the price, particularly during periods of lower trading volume.

6. Benchmark Pricing:

   • The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) sets the "LBMA Silver Price," a benchmark used for trading contracts.

Is the Price of Silver Manipulated?

Claims of silver price manipulation have been a topic of debate for years. Key points include:

1. Historical Incidents:

   • Hunt Brothers (1980): The Hunt brothers famously tried to corner the silver market, driving prices to unprecedented levels before a market crash.
   • Regulatory Fines: Major financial institutions, such as JPMorgan Chase, have been fined for manipulating precious metals markets, including spoofing (placing and canceling large orders to mislead other traders).

2. Market Characteristics:

   • Silver's relatively smaller market size compared to gold makes it more susceptible to price swings and potential manipulation.

3. Structural Factors:

   • The heavy reliance on derivatives (futures contracts) can allow large players to influence prices disproportionally compared to the physical market.

4. Critics' View:

   • Some argue that large institutions intentionally suppress silver prices to protect fiat currencies or maintain stability in broader financial markets.

5. Regulatory Oversight:

   • Agencies like the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) monitor trading to reduce manipulation risks. However, enforcement remains a challenge.
