King Phillips War

You can find some of the places such as the Bridgewater Triangle Here and explore these places for yourself. Many paranormal sightings have occurred and some speculate as to whether the war was to blame, having seen as much death as it did, or if in the previous nine thousand years of human activity something more devious can be to blame.
