Are you ready to get spicy?
Marcus Parks
These Doritos Golden Sriracha aren't that spicy.
Ad Host
Sriracha sounds pretty spicy to me.
Marcus Parks
Um, a little spicy, but also tangy and sweet.
Ad Host
Maybe it's time to turn up the heat.
Marcus Parks
Or turn it down. It's time for something that's not too spicy. Try Doritos Golden Sriracha. Spicy but not too spicy.

Audience Member
Oh.
Marcus Parks
Let's get comfortable.
Henry Zebrowski
Welcome to the last update on the Left, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you so much for coming out here today.
Marcus Parks
I'm Marcus Parks.
Henry Zebrowski
With me is Henry Zabrowski.
Marcus Parks
Sure.
Henry Zebrowski
And put your hands together for Ed Larson, ladies and gentlemen, please.
Ed Larson
How you doing?
Marcus Parks
What's going on, my boy? Now, this is the first time we've ever done. Because we are just gonna do our podcast in front of all of you, which sort of feels like I'm taking a shit and you're all watching, but I do think that this one's gonna be good.
Henry Zebrowski
I think this is gonna be fantastic.
Marcus Parks
I think it's gonna be really good. Welcome to Last update on the Left. This is our first, like, you know, we're going back through old topics. We did a couple of these. We did a little touch of JonBenet Ramsey. That's a bad way to phrase it. Yeah. But we. We touched upon JonBenet RA on the show, and I. And I gotta tell you what, I think she's gonna be all right.
Ed Larson
Y' all hear the episode today?
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. If you want to hear something real funny, is that we record these a little bit in advance. And on Monday, we recorded an episode, and we were right in the middle of it, and we're like, talking about this guy. We're like, watch this die this week.
Marcus Parks
Watch him die the second we hit.
Henry Zebrowski
The second we. O.J. simpson dead today.
Marcus Parks
I finally. It took us to do this.
Ad Host
You.
Marcus Parks
Know, he's doing great in heaven. Him and Nicole Brown are enjoying themselves. Having a reunited. Is this hard to start? To start like that.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, the update that we're going to do for all of you today is an old, I guess, potpourri episode. It's got cryptids. It's got UFOs, it's got murder. It's the Bridgewater Triangle.
Marcus Parks
Yes. The first ever American based haunted triangle that's not in Alaska, but Alaska is now new Alaska is a new triangle. Bridgewater Triangle is the old triangle from 1983.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
Now weird. It's all. It's. It was born in 1983.
Henry Zebrowski
It's been haunted for centuries.
Ed Larson
Yeah. It's been fucked up forever.
Audience Member
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. But then the guys didn't get there. Is it haunted? Unless a bunch of people get together and say it's haunted. Especially with a Tauntaun based accent. Taunton, Massachusetts, which I already can hear the fucking furious Massachusetts based emails for all of their weird counties and cities. And all of the names don't make any sense. And they are never read as they are spelled.
Henry Zebrowski
I thought that we got in trouble last time for calling it Taunton. It was. Or that we called it Tauntaun and it was supposed to be called Taunton.
Marcus Parks
It's Taunt.
Henry Zebrowski
It's Taunton.
Marcus Parks
It's Taunt.
Henry Zebrowski
It's not Tauntaun.
Marcus Parks
No. It's not Taun. Taun. No. I wish it was Tauntaun because then I would be right. But I did get. It's Rehoboth. You see that? That's the. That's the. The far right. Is that a right angle? That one? The Rehoboth, man.
Henry Zebrowski
I thought it looks like a fucking. Like a black metal band.
Marcus Parks
Rehoboth. It's not. It's a shitty city in Massachusetts.
Henry Zebrowski
Now, we covered the subject a ways back, but the Bridgewater Triangle is actually such a massive paranormal and criminal hotspot that we had to leave a lot of stories out of the episode. And we've discovered even more events that we didn't even hear about back when we did our Bridgewater series.
Marcus Parks
Also, if you follow the Bridgewater Triangle Paranormal Investigators YouTube page, you will see that during COVID I think a couple of them lost their main jobs and then haunting things within that. The triangle became their new main jobs. And they honestly, they seem to be really doing well. They are a lot of. There's a lot of methods in the Bridgewater Triangle.
Ed Larson
I think it might be all the wives getting together and starting all this stuff just so the guys hit the woods and get some hikes in.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, yeah. It really does help for them to see a pine cone.
Ed Larson
The only thing keeping them alive is them searching for a skunk ape.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, to give a refresher, the Bridgewater Triangle is located within a 200 square mile radius with three points between Arlington Freetown and Rehoboth in southeastern Massachusetts. Since colonial times, it's come to be a hotspot for bizarre, mysterious and sinister activities. From cryptids to UFOs to supposed satanic sacrifices.
Marcus Parks
And they also remind you a lot on this YouTube channel that it is not just to the triangle. It does happen to bleed outside of the triangle to places such as. Or like all these other weird names I've never heard before.
Ed Larson
Doesn't that just make the triangle bullshit?
Henry Zebrowski
No, just mean. Massachusetts is real up. It is.
Ed Larson
It's horrible everywhere.
Marcus Parks
It's just. Triangles are a fun, scary shape. We talked about this on the Alaskan triangle episode.
Henry Zebrowski
How many sides does a pyramid have again?
Marcus Parks
It has. We now know a pyramid has four sides and has a square bottom.
Ed Larson
First time I was right. It was so cool.
Marcus Parks
It was. It was true. But also pyramids, we know spiritually can be circles. If you're in the uk, spiritually, pyramid can be circles. You just have. You just have to allow that in. You have to stop fighting that information and just let it be real.
Henry Zebrowski
Nah, dude, Ed just solved it. It's a cone.
Ed Larson
A cone? Yeah, man. You've had ice cream before, right?
Marcus Parks
Yeah. Holy. I'll be eating in a triangle. I thought only pizza was triangles.
Ed Larson
Yeah, a circular is cone is how it goes. Fill it with meat. That's what I say.
Marcus Parks
That's. That's from your pretty faces going to hell. And that has already been co opted. Someone stole that bit. Chili cone, Gary.
Ed Larson
Yeah, well, they used to do it back in the day at Disney. They had a waffle cone filled with meat. Chili. Yeah, they filled with chili.
Marcus Parks
They did not actually put chili in the cone. Yeah, they did.
Ed Larson
I don't know what you want from me.
Marcus Parks
Do they still do that?
Henry Zebrowski
They do pizza too.
Marcus Parks
They put chili on pizza?
Henry Zebrowski
No, but they fill the cone with pizza.
Marcus Parks
Put pizza inside. But it's already. I guess you know, it's a bunch.
Ed Larson
Of cone themed restaurants.
Marcus Parks
We have de. Let's move on.
Ed Larson
The Bridgewater triangle.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
We have not gotten to any content. We have not gone to the show.
Henry Zebrowski
If you want to talk about comb based meats, ask the guy with diabetes. Always know.
Marcus Parks
Hey, it's pre diabetes. It's the prequel. Yeah.
Ed Larson
Hopefully it never turns into diapheties.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, today some claim that a so called Native American curse is the reason why the area is so rife with both paranormal activity and murder. This curse supposedly comes from the brutal conflict known as King Philip's War that was fought between the Wampanoag people and the European colonists in the 17th century.
Marcus Parks
You know, should have fought harder against the King. Phillips War was Tom Hanks's people. Remember that fucking horrible movie, King Phillips.
Ed Larson
Who is it? Captain Phillips.
Henry Zebrowski
Captain Phillips.
Marcus Parks
Captain Phillips. Captain now.
Ed Larson
Yeah, yeah, the one that took place off the coast of Somalia.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. What was the other one that he was like the politician, King Philip something.
Henry Zebrowski
I think you're the Tom. Tom Wilson's war.
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Ed Larson
Great job.
Henry Zebrowski
Not a goddamn thing to do with any of that.
Marcus Parks
We edit the show. We look back after we record a lot of times, and we edit things out.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, that's the thing. You guys are seeing all sorts of. You're seeing, like, hen throwing everything against the wall. You're seeing me read everything. It feels really awkward. But it's done. This is how the sausage is made.
Marcus Parks
And to the future people listening to this, I know you guys love live recorded podcast episodes. Yeah, I know the audience absolutely adores them because what they love. Because a lot of times when you're listening to podcasts, you're listening. Doing something else or you're alone or. And you got a lot of stuff going on. Right. That is kind of like part of the podcast experience. And. But mainly you're alone and no one's holding you. No one's. You're not having sex, you're not enjoying yourself. You're not at a bar, you're not at an amusement park. And so when you hear a podcast of other people laughing and having a good time in a room, you just realize, like, how empty the room is that you're in while you're listening to it.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. Well, it's argued that the triangle itself was the reason why the conflict King Philip's wore was filled with so many beheadings and mass mutilations and such and such. And the strange happenings of the 20th and 21st century are simply a continuation of the triangle's influence.
Marcus Parks
Yes, the demonic triangles influence. Don't go near the trapezoid zone.
Henry Zebrowski
Now, inside the Bridgewater.
Marcus Parks
Don't want to go in there. You're gonna end up kissing a dude. Don't go to the trapezoid Zone, brother. You gotta get married to Sarah this weekend, man.
Henry Zebrowski
Now, inside the Bridgewater Triangle is an area called Hockamak Swamp. In this place, people have seen vicious dogs with red eyes, glowing lights, and ghost galore. In Algonquin, Hochomock translates to the place where spirits dwell. But in other contexts, it translates to mean the devil, hence devil's swamp. Now, this being a highly forested way.
Marcus Parks
What?
Ed Larson
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
Feel free to Ooh, it off. Yeah. Be like, oh, wow. Actually, Marcus. All right, it's Huckamuk.
Henry Zebrowski
What did I say?
Marcus Parks
You're saying the O. You see, in Massachusetts, the only times they say O is when they're having sex with their father. See, they are. They never say those words. They say it's Hucamuk.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, it's. So I shouldn't say Haak. A mock.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. Cause Hockamak sounds like the Iroquois name for a pit we all spit loogies into.
Henry Zebrowski
Now, this being a highly forested wetland, the Bridgewater Triangle has its own Bigfoot. Disappointingly, it does not have its own fun nickname. Like Indiana has the Big Muddy Monster. Virginia has the Wood Booger.
Marcus Parks
Have we never covered the Woodbooger?
Henry Zebrowski
I had never heard of the Wood Booger until today. Literally today. When I was writing this book, I.
Marcus Parks
Honestly thought I knew every single iteration of Bigfoot.
Henry Zebrowski
No Wood Booger.
Marcus Parks
How is he different?
Ed Larson
He's got allergies. Yeah, he's just a big Jewish guy with allergies.
Marcus Parks
That's not Bigfoot. That's my dentist.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, instead, Bridgewater just has a big foot. Large and hairy, described as looking like a seven foot bipedal bear. And to be fair, it could just be a bear.
Marcus Parks
It could just be a bear.
Henry Zebrowski
The Forest of Massachusetts black bears, they get to be around seven, eight feet tall.
Ed Larson
Yeah. And they hurt their paw. And they stand up. Right. And they walk around.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. They're taking a shower if they're out there, you know, you never know with a bear.
Ed Larson
Yeah, they work in restaurants, too.
Henry Zebrowski
But in one case, this so called bear lifted the back of a police officer's patrol car while the cop was out on a call to investigate a complaint that the Bigfoot was rummaging around in someone's garbage.
Marcus Parks
I wish you could see the Bridgewater Triangle. Paranormal investigators talk about how this girl I knew, she. It's like, okay, all right, let me slide into it. Oh, you are either. Oh, you betcha there.
Ed Larson
Oh, you betchas.
Marcus Parks
The middle of the country. Jfk. Yeah. We're like, oh, come here, Maryland. Okay. Yeah, come here, Marilyn. That's what gets me into Boston.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
Let me see a Maryland. But they talk about how their cousin's sister's father was the police officer whose Bigfoot messed with his car. And he said, I'm not going back to that bridge. Water. I can't do it. God damn it. I'm not going back to Bridgewater. He won't go. He won't go because he said that he was scared because he's afraid of his trunk getting messed with again. But I just think the guy was hammered.
Audience Member
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
You know, it's funny is that I don't have a single fucking story that actually occurs in Bridgewater.
Marcus Parks
No. Because it's the title of the triangle. It is not the location of the triangle, it's the brand.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. Isn't Bridgewater outside of the triangle?
Ed Larson
There's three Bridgewater.
Marcus Parks
It's where you look at the triangle.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, it's the viewing station towards the.
Marcus Parks
Triangle on the triangle.
Henry Zebrowski
But even though it could very well be a really big bear that walks on its hind legs. The Bigfoot hunter that keeps the torch alive in Massachusetts is Joseph DeAndre who had his first encounter with Night in 1978 when he and his friends saw a dark haired Sasquatch on the opposite bank of a river. After that sighting, Joseph founded the Bridgewater Triangle Expedition team, or BATET for short. And he now leads frequent investigations armed with cameras and rifles. But since then, Joseph has never again seen another Bigfoot. Decades of goose eggs.
Marcus Parks
He has to meet with Batet and petite. He has a meet with these guys every fucking week after he saw Bigfoot one time. Everybody has to meet back up with Joe each week and be like, are you sure? Are you sure this is where you saw the Bigfoot there? And he's just been like, I know, I was here. I know. You know, then no one does anything. They better get food. Food or something.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, man.
Ed Larson
You know, the guys at Batet have big tits.
Henry Zebrowski
Even now, Even like I said, the magic of editing. Now, even if this Bigfoot is really a big black bear, it still tracks. With Bridgewater being an odd place when it comes to wildlife.
Ad Host
Sure.
Henry Zebrowski
Because a gigantic bear is not the only abnormally large animal animal to be spotted in the area.
Marcus Parks
And to be fair, they're now saying that a lot of Bigfoot sightings there's like, did you guys see the research that they talk about how the. The sightings of bears with mange? Like this kind of type of mange that affects bears. Like it. It definitely is in the Pacific Northwest. It's in Florida. It's in where anywhere you see a Bigfoot, it is probably a Bigfoot with. It's probably a bear with a skin disease.
Henry Zebrowski
Right.
Ed Larson
Finally figured out close the case on that one.
Marcus Parks
But the thing is, is that I a normal occurrence. I also feel like there's probably a man of the mountain, but there's other animals inside of the Bridgewater Triangle that definitely don't belong there. Unless they were Released by, like, a member of the Celtics when he was done with it.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, there's a massive cat. It's called the Mansfield mystery cat.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, it's a scary mystery cat.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
It asks its questions three, and all of the answers are all, I'm chicken, please.
Henry Zebrowski
I'm the mystery cat.
Marcus Parks
The mystery is, I have sex with your family.
Henry Zebrowski
It's said to be the size of a Great Dane. Big fucking cat. Whoa.
Marcus Parks
That's a big cat.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. Oh, big cat buddy.
Marcus Parks
Big cat buddy.
Henry Zebrowski
Now, it was thought that the mystery of the mystery cat was solved in May of 1993 when someone found the headless carcass of an African serval cat. But police themselves dismissed the theory. This ain't the big cat because the serval only weighs about 30 pounds.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, that's a big cat. Exactly. Lost five pounds. Now, it's not just cats, though. There's other types of animals that there aren't. Now, one of my favorite phenomena, as you guys know, is I love large birds. I love. But I mean bigger than normal birds. And I love when people see quote, unquote, dinosaurs. Now, and there's something about the Bridgewater Triangle that for some reason attracts pterodactyls. Now, I have a good clip from a lady. Now, this woman, I want to say is a. I'm not going to say she's not shopping. Seduced by the Bridgewater Triangle paranormal investigators. But I think that she is. I don't know, she's involved.
Henry Zebrowski
Flirting.
Marcus Parks
She's flirting like there is some kind of. There's a. There's a tension. There's a sexual tension here.
Ed Larson
I think it's just finally, someone didn't think she was crazy.
Marcus Parks
I mean, this woman has yelled this story several times at a wawa for certain. So here it is. Kristen Evans tells her story to Westbridgewater Community Access about her pterodactyl sighting late.
Ed Larson
One night in the town of Abington.
Audience Member
One night, I was driving down the street and something hit my car. And to my shock, my entire windshield was covered in, of all things, yolk. And there are pieces of shell about this big all over my car. The next morning, my mother said, you're never going to believe what happened last night. My friend and I were sitting outside in the backyard when all of a sudden we started hearing crashes. We ran out and Kristen, we saw a pterodactyle.
Marcus Parks
They saw a pterodactyl.
Audience Member
Of course, I was like, what are you talking about? She's like, it had dangly legs. It was massive. It was Crashing through the trees. The trees are still broken if you want to go see. So that happened around 10 o'. Clock.
Marcus Parks
And when long does this story go on?
Henry Zebrowski
And then after that, you know, Tuesday's trash day.
Marcus Parks
So we looked and I saw claw marks or by the recycling and there was no way because Marty, he puts that out on Wednesday. No, it's a bad story.
Ed Larson
But I don't know much about birds, but I know they don't shit out.
Marcus Parks
Eggs while they fly, you know, what do pterodactyls do also? Was it a weaponized movement by the pterodactyl against this woman?
Ed Larson
I know that they had a lot of lost emus around there. It was probably just some kid picking up an emu egg and throwing car.
Marcus Parks
I don't put past the youth of Inner Massachusetts of egging this woman with a bunch of em eggs. I don't put it past them. But I look at the size of this egg. Oh my God. Hit that lady's car with his eggs. You know what's for his suit eggs. It'll come windshield. You get an accident, you kill a family. Yeah, it's very possible. Or pterodactyl.
Henry Zebrowski
Pterodactyle.
Marcus Parks
Or it's man. Can you imagine if it was just a guy in a hang glider and he got caught out there.
Ed Larson
He's just literally got a basket of emu.
Marcus Parks
Somebody help me. Is there anybody here? I see you there. That pterodactyle can talk. Fly from your grave.
Ed Larson

Cement mobile.com but besides bears, cats and the occasional obligatory big bird, strange animal noises have been heard around the shores of Lake Nip. Nip A nicket AKA Lake Nip. Let's stick to Lake Nip, which lies within Hamak swamp.
Ed Larson
There people have reported name things like fucking idiots.
Marcus Parks
I think it's, there's a lot of allergies there. I think it was a lot of old Native Americans with allergies just naming shit after making noises in their sleep.
Henry Zebrowski
Lake Nip people have reported frequent monkey noises. In 1980, several men traveling in a canoe saw little creatures milling about on an island in the middle of Lake Nip. Although they saw them from a distance, these were not Bigfoot sized, but were closer to red haired orangutans who walked upright like men. The travelers paddled to the island to look for them, but found nothing.
Marcus Parks
Oh man, I was for that trailer for the new the Kingdom. The Planet of the Apes. Looks good.
Ed Larson
It looks phenomenal.
Marcus Parks
Them all in that island just being like, do you know there are places outside of here where humans play baseball like we do? They're like, what? Yes, yes. They leave it. They make cheesesteaks just like we do on this island. Our island.
Henry Zebrowski
But out of all the mysterious creatures and creepy cryptids that have been seen in the Bridgewater Triangle, none have reached the infamy of one of Henry's favorites, the ever lovable Puck Wedgies.
Marcus Parks
Man, the Puck Wedgies are still probably my top five Cryptids. I love them because.
Henry Zebrowski
Top five, what's. How long is your list?
Marcus Parks
Because I, I still like, I think Bigfoot's probably still the, the number one.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
You know, Flatwoods monster. Sexy. We know that.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
You guys seen a lot of the fan art of the Flatwoods monster. Very sexualized.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
I also like, I like Mothman because no one believes him. And then I also like. Well, even though we're getting sued over it, have you seen this shit? Yeah, we know, it's just like we had to change. So you know, we're changing Mothman Red Eye blend. We're changing it to the butterfly dudes. Blue eye blend. This is gonna be fun. I think you guys are gonna like it.
Henry Zebrowski
I was pretty proud of Butterfly, dude.
Marcus Parks
I think it's gonna be good.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
The Mothman people came for us.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, the a.
Marcus Parks
There's a Mothman economy that we did not know we were fucking with.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
And then all of a sudden the Mothman people arrive and they're like, you think you can come take our Cryptid fucking money? And I was just like, how much is it? They're like, we made $19 last year. And I was just like, but what are you talking about?
Henry Zebrowski
It wasn't even West Virginia Mothman people. It was Ohio Mothman people.
Marcus Parks
But we now know Ohio's the new Florida.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Ed Larson
Oh, my God, man.
Marcus Parks
How much?
Ed Larson
That's so crazy. They're taking the Mothman from us.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. What?
Ed Larson
If they really respected the Mothman, they wouldn't take his identity.
Marcus Parks
They put Statue of Liberty on condoms.
Ed Larson
That's right.
Marcus Parks
You mean to tell me we're gonna allow the Mothman to be taken from us? The statue? Is that true? Am I what I just said?
Ed Larson
What the stat. I don't know.
Marcus Parks
I just believed you.
Henry Zebrowski
I took it as fact.
Marcus Parks
But once you get down. All right, we'll skip this legal conversation. But then, yeah, then I like the puck wedgies. They're up there because they're representation of my people.
Ed Larson
I don't think we need a condom. That's like, give us your tired, you're weak.
Marcus Parks
I think some of us.
Henry Zebrowski
Definitely going to be using a lot of huddled masses.
Marcus Parks
The condom for the huddled masses. Are you dirty at the Port Authority? Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, I got. Once I once got offered a blow job at Port Authority. It was awful.
Ed Larson
It was awful.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
It was 6am I was waiting near the Ralph Kramden statue. Cab driver walked up to me. So what are you doing this morning? I'm like going to Washington D.C. for a show. He's like, do you like movies? I'm like, what kind of movies? The kind they play right over there. You like Blowjob?
Marcus Parks
Yes. Right? You like Blowjob?
Henry Zebrowski
Normally.
Marcus Parks
Normally, if you were going to ask.
Henry Zebrowski
I just told him I gotta bust a catch. He's like. And then walk away. I got a feeling it was a numbers game that day. The pukwudgie is described as a hair covered 3 foot tall hominid with gray skin, large ears and long fingers and noses. Pukwudgies are mischievous little creatures who can vanish and appear at will. They can shape shift into animals. They shoot poison arrows. They're prolific arsonists, and they can sometimes lead humans to their deaths in Habakkuk Swap, man.
Marcus Parks
It'd be cool. Hang out with a bunch that's like. That would be the best crew to hang with.
Ed Larson
Whammies.
Henry Zebrowski
What, like in a Press your luck. Yeah.
Ad Host
Whoa.
Marcus Parks
The whammy is a puck wedgie.
Ed Larson
That's right.
Marcus Parks
I didn't even think about that.
Henry Zebrowski
There you go.
Marcus Parks
Let me look that up.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, the Puck wedgie death lure is a light called the Tepe Wonkas, which are souls of humans they've killed. These human souls are used to kill more humans, which are then ensnared and used to kill even more humans. Still, the origins of the Pukwudgie legend began in parallel to the giant Mouse Shop who always made the Pukwudgies jealous because he could get along with the Wampanoag people while every effort the puck wedgie made to help humans backfired.
Marcus Parks
That's why you shouldn't help for people help people. The number one that don't ask you for it, it don't help them or don't give if you don't have extra right. And then also too man, don't extend yourself for people who won't extend themselves to you. These Puckwudgies are wise.
Henry Zebrowski
And so the Pukwudgies gave up and decided they would instead play the tormentor to MAU Shop's role of protector. Now, at first, they were just annoying. So Mouseop collected as many Pukwudgies as he could and scattered them across New England so they wouldn't be as much of a nuisance to human.
Marcus Parks
Now they work the tolls. Give me a cornice, you little fucking.
Henry Zebrowski
But when the Puckwudgies returned, they did so with a vengeance. Instead of just hiding shoes or chasing away deer, the Puck Wudgies showed back up and just plain started murdering people. Started kidnapping children, burning villages.
Marcus Parks
Dude, where's my Puck Wudgie movie? Puck Wudgies vs.
Ed Larson
The Cops. Oh, my God. Puck Wedgies are cops.
Marcus Parks
Man versus the Chuds.
Ed Larson
Dude, that's a fucking movie.
Marcus Parks
Save it. Next year, March Madness.
Henry Zebrowski
In response, Mouschop sent his five sons to deal with the now murderous Puck Wedgies. But Mouse up sons were lured into tall grass and were shot dead with magic arrows. Enraged, Mouse Shop crushed as many Pukwudgies as he could underneath his feet. But many escaped and later regrouped. They tricked Mouse Shop into the water, where he drowned, and the Puck Wedgies have ruled the Bridgewater Triangle ever since.
Marcus Parks
That'd Be a cute Pixar movie. Like, I think that's like a fun dark movie.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Ed Larson
I feel like you're part Puck Wedgie.
Marcus Parks
Is he in the back? Yeah, yeah.
Ed Larson
And the front? Unfortunately, yeah.
Marcus Parks
I mean, I'm not waxing. I don't care what the polls say. I don't care what the emails from Biden say. I'm not waxing my back.
Ed Larson
Now.
Henry Zebrowski
Once European colonists arrive and were told of the Pukwudgie legend, they believed it wholeheartedly. Except they filtered the story through their own cultural lens and reclassified the Pukwudgie as foot soldiers of the devil. The very hand of Satan itself. And hence the legend lived on in New England amongst the whites for centuries. And there are still people in modern times who have reported encounters with these evil little creatures. In one example, a paranormal enthusiast named Tim actually had not one. But that's all we know of him. His name was Tim.
Marcus Parks
I had a source once deep within the government. Tim. He told me everything, how I could catch the bus. Thank you, Tim.
Henry Zebrowski
Tim had not one, but two encounters with these creatures, both in the woods and without. One evening, as Tim was walking in.
Marcus Parks
The woods, Tim was walking.
Henry Zebrowski
He encountered a br. Floating light. Being an enthusiast of the paranormal, he excitedly took out his digital camera and tried taking a snapshot.
Marcus Parks
Oh yeah, I love orbs. Oh, hell yeah. It's an orb. Oh, is that my grandfather? It's an orb.
Henry Zebrowski
But the orb suddenly disappeared and reappeared 30ft away off the path in the thicket.
Marcus Parks
Yell flat with me there. Or you flirt with me. I'm Tim. People respect me around here. I give people secrets.
Henry Zebrowski
Now obviously this is one of the dead souls that I mentioned earlier.
Marcus Parks
Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
But perhaps unaware of the story of the Puck Wudgies leading men to their deaths in the forest, Tim followed the light.
Marcus Parks
All right, that orb. I'll follow you back to your home. It's simply because I'm lonely.
Henry Zebrowski
Soon enough, though, he sensed that something was wrong. Tim sensed that something was wrong.
Marcus Parks
Tim always does when something is wrong.
Henry Zebrowski
But when he returned to the path, he found a two foot tall man walking towards him.
Marcus Parks
Hey, how you doing? I heard a lot about you. Let me ask you something.
Ed Larson
You like blow jobs?
Marcus Parks
I do love a blow job. And he's one of my favorite activities. Outside of looking for the Puck Whiting.
Henry Zebrowski
Tim ran in the opposite direction. So the figure turned back into the thicket and disappeared.
Marcus Parks
All right. Guess some guy doesn't like blowjobs. I'll go fuck a rabbit.
Henry Zebrowski
A few years later, Tim Was in the parking lot of a grocery store. But we're still quite close to the woods.
Marcus Parks
I see you, woods. I'm over here. I'm buying milk. As soon as I'm done purchasing milk, I'm gonna be open side of you, triangle.
Henry Zebrowski
He was in the car waiting for his friend.
Marcus Parks
Weird. Like we had the parking lot conversation the other day. It is kind of strange, like just hanging out in a parking lot. Unless. Unless you're getting a blowjob and you're in a. And you're sitting in a parking lot. That's suspicious.
Ed Larson
You ever go tailgating for nothing?
Marcus Parks
That's called drinking and driving. You getting pulled over? Just tell. I'm just a mobile tailgate.
Henry Zebrowski
Actually.
Marcus Parks
And in Massachusetts they let you go. If you sing the song, they let you go.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, Tim was in his car waiting for a friend. When he saw that the friend was in the grocery store. His friend was picking up like milk or something.
Marcus Parks
Oh, I thought he was like meeting the friend to go sit with him alone in the car.
Henry Zebrowski
No, no, no, he's outside. I guess I gave the context clue. If he was in the parking lot in front of the grocery store, I.
Ed Larson
Just assumed he was buying drugs.
Henry Zebrowski
That also happens in the parking lot of the grocery store. Not a bad guess.
Marcus Parks
I love orbs and cocaine.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, that is when Tim saw the same small figure in his rear view mirror.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. Hey buddy. I knew it. Fun.
Audience Member
Ya.
Marcus Parks
I knew you'd sit long enough for me to suck your dick.
Henry Zebrowski
As the puck wudgie stood there staring, Tim's car turned on by itself and the radio cranked up to full volume.
Marcus Parks
Short people had no reason.
Henry Zebrowski
So people, completely forgetting about his friend, Tim stepped on it and hauled ass out of the parking lot as fast as he could. As far as I know, that was Tim's last encounter with a puck wedgie.
Marcus Parks
What about the friend in the groceries?
Henry Zebrowski
Fucking left his ass behind.
Marcus Parks
He just comes on out that pucky sitting there. You know, I met your buddy Tim, and he wasn't that into blowjobs. But I see you've purchased a lot of candy and maybe you might be interested in a blowjob. Give me a milky little piece of shit. You know, actually I could go for a blowjob. Actually, I'm going through a divorce. I'm going through a divorce with my wife. You little man. You could suck my dick.
Henry Zebrowski
Dick.
Marcus Parks
Come with me to court. Support me.
Henry Zebrowski
In another story, a man named Bill Russo was out walking his rottweiler named Samantha at midnight.
Marcus Parks
As you do. Very fancy name. For a rottweiler.
Henry Zebrowski
Samantha.
Marcus Parks
This is Samantha. She'll bite your dick off.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, he did that every night because he worked the late shift at his job. Yeah, but on that particular night, Bill took a different route. And as they walked, Samantha started quivering and shaking. Then Bill heard a high pitched wail.
Marcus Parks
Saying I want you. I want you. Kiry kiiiiiiii.
Henry Zebrowski
Perfect punch wuggy. Up ahead, underneath the streetlight, Bill saw an erect figure.
Ed Larson
Pudgy indeed.
Henry Zebrowski
3Ft tal belly, more like a wedgie, walking towards.
Marcus Parks
Hey, I don't.
Henry Zebrowski
It was also naked, but covered in hair, 3 to 4 inches long. So obviously he could see his dick and bone.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, yeah, it's true. But honestly, it's warm out, these are my clothes, I'm a buck watchy man.
Henry Zebrowski
That's interesting to think about though, is if he has three to four inches of hair, but he could see his dick and balls hanging out.
Marcus Parks
Five to six inch long dick, that's the thing.
Henry Zebrowski
But for a three foot tall creature, that is a proportionally massive cock.
Marcus Parks
It's a demon.
Henry Zebrowski
Demons do have big dicks.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, or he could have been older.
Ed Larson
And he's got the long balls.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, that's the thing.
Marcus Parks
You know that war work Davis is packing, right?
Henry Zebrowski
Really?
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Like how many?
Marcus Parks
Like, well, packing how many?
Ed Larson
But he has like penises.
Marcus Parks
No. Yeah, he's not bringing them in a case. I'm saying he has a large penis.
Henry Zebrowski
How many inches is, is it like, like a weird like Holden dick?
Marcus Parks
How do you know? You told me. Yeah, no, he's just got like. He's Warwick Davis, but he's got, he's got an Ed Larson on him. Ah, I see, so it's like a standard.
Henry Zebrowski
Got gigantic balls.
Marcus Parks
Yes, you got a standard penis. But he's small.
Ed Larson
Good for him. That's how he's working so long.
Marcus Parks
I actually think that would keep you from working.
Ed Larson
You think so?
Marcus Parks
You're so confident. Why would you need to act? If you have a huge penis, you should do anything but act. You should be president, should be a professional baseball player.
Ed Larson
Anything else slide too much in baseball?
Marcus Parks
Wow.
Henry Zebrowski
Buckwhegies. Now Bill Russo for some reason thought that perhaps because of the creature's height, this was a hairy child.
Marcus Parks
That was his first thought. Yeah, just another freak. That's a hairy child if I've ever seen one. Oh my God. Go to sleep, child. Slate.
Henry Zebrowski
But as it walked towards him, he realized that it was old and it was speaking to him. It kept repeating over and over again, I want you.
Marcus Parks
I want you.
Henry Zebrowski
He was saying I want you. If you didn't get it, the cadence became more insistent.
Marcus Parks
I want you at lunch.
Henry Zebrowski
And the creature began beckoning. Bill.
Marcus Parks
At lunch, eh? You. I talk to you. I don't talk to him. I talk to you. The dog can watch your job. Trying to seduce me, you hairy child. I know you got the hair of an older man, but your boy, well, terrified.
Henry Zebrowski
Both Bill and the dog turned around. They didn't run home. They speed walked home.
Marcus Parks
Let's get out of here. Samantha. This is too good to be true. That is the only way I can do a Boston accent. I can't do any other variation on.
Henry Zebrowski
It besides just Kennedy, but that's great. Reportedly, Bill returned to the spot many times, but never saw the creature again.
Marcus Parks
He was so freaked out. Why would he go back?
Henry Zebrowski
Well, you know, sometimes you get a little something kind of scares you at first, but then you get curious.
Marcus Parks
Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
Having sex with a small hairy child. That's what happened with Father Mike, who was my priest, but he just never went all the way, way through with it because I guess I just wasn't forward enough.
Ed Larson
I can't tell who's the coward in this situation.
Marcus Parks

Now, the cryptids are all well and good, but we need one more ingredient if we want to call the Bridgewater Triangle a semi permanent full on flap. We need UFOs. And luckily the Bridgewater Triangle is full of them.
Marcus Parks
You see, I do think of all of the, the domestic triangles. They do have the most, like, I don't know if you'd say recorded activity, but they have a ton of witness accounts and people talking about like, fires on Lake Huckamak, you know, like, and Lake Nip. They would see these weird, like, flames and there's a lot of different, like, you know, ghost lights. If you do listen to these paranormal investigators, which I do think a lot of it is fueled by grain alcohol, Mountain Dew and math. But they, but their hearts are in the right place. Place. Yeah, but they're seeing stuff.
Ed Larson
There's lots of people seeing the same thing, right?
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, yeah, for the most part. I mean, there's variations. Okay. Yeah. You could argue that maybe they're just telling the same story to each other. It just gets bigger and bigger each time. And, you know, maybe they just saw some weird at night.
Marcus Parks
But don't ruin the magic of the Bridgewater Triangle.
Henry Zebrowski
Now, the sighting started in the 19th century, but the first notable sighting came in 1908 when two undertakers driving a carriage saw a quote, quote, unusually bright lantern above the skies on Halloween night. The hottest time for UFO sightings in the Bridgewater Triangle, however, was the 1970s, when seemingly the entire country was awash in both UFO sightings and general paranormal activity.
Marcus Parks
I wonder how this lines up with Mothman time periods.
Henry Zebrowski
About 10 years after 15.
Marcus Parks
Let's move on.
Henry Zebrowski
The most famous Bridgewater UFO sighting occurred in the spring of 1979, when two radio broadcasters, Jerry Lopez and Steve Sibracchia, were on their way to Raynham, Massachusetts for a night at the dog track.
Marcus Parks
Completely innocent night.
Henry Zebrowski
Radio DJs going to the fucking dog track in the middle of the night.
Marcus Parks
I can smell that. Yeah, just like morning DJs at the night dog trap.
Ed Larson
I don't like to watch a race as much as I like to eat them.
Marcus Parks
That's why I always bet on the loser.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, as they were driving, Steve saw an incredibly bright light just over the tree line. And the light only grew larger as it got closer to the car. The two broadcasters stopped the car and watched as a series of bright lights blotted together in the shape of an arrow and passed overhead in a formation that was, by Steve's guesstimate, the width of 5, 7, 4, 7, wing to wing.
Marcus Parks
Say it properly. 5, 7, 4, 7.
Henry Zebrowski
Wang.
Marcus Parks
No, Wayne.
Henry Zebrowski
Jerry, however, remembered it being shaped like a baseball home plate with a series of lights on it and something like a cord was dangling from the craft, shooting off sparks. But they both said it was so close that they could throw a rock and hit it.
Marcus Parks
That was not the only. The other case that we covered with shitting UFOs was the Bigfoot UFO flap in Pennsylvania.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, yeah, the Pennsylvania bigfoot flap in 1973. Yeah, I remember that one. The craft then.
Marcus Parks
I just was like, market, remember it. Shooting ufo. Good work, Henry. Locked memory.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, the craft then continued hovering over a field for a minute, then took off. And over the course of the next week, there were a series of sightings reported by other people in newspaper and radio stories. And it was only then that Jerry and Steve came forward with their own account. One of the strangest UFO stories out of Bridgewater, however, came in 2013 with a man named Jim Andre. Jim said he was on his computer at 9:15pm when he suddenly blacked out. And when he woke up, he was in the same chair, but five hours had gone by.
Marcus Parks
You mean every time I'm in a hotel.
Henry Zebrowski
A nap?
Ed Larson
I took a nap and it's scared.
Marcus Parks
It's gotta be UFOs. This is an extension of somebody's why they missed a bar mitzvah. They missed something big.
Henry Zebrowski
He stood up and tried gathering his thoughts when he noticed an intense burning sensation on his right forearm. When he looked down, he saw a tattoo that resembled an Aryan Gray, which is a hybrid I'm not familiar with.
Marcus Parks
Has anyone heard of the white power parrot called the Aryan Gray? What is the Aryan Gray?
Henry Zebrowski
I tried Googling it too.
Ed Larson
Is it a Nazi alien?
Marcus Parks
I've never heard of a bird, the African Gray.
Henry Zebrowski
Like a nose? No, not a bird, like a gray alien. Not like a fucking parrot, you idiot.
Marcus Parks
We're talking about UFA alien. You went bird? I wish.
Ad Host
Bird.
Marcus Parks
I thought that that was like an Aryan grain. I thought it was like a bird that you could teach the sigile. Like I thought it was like a parrot that lived forever.
Henry Zebrowski
You thought that a guy got abducted by a UFO and he woke up with a bird tattoo?
Marcus Parks
Literally. That's what I read. I thought I was like, oh, must have some. That's why I thought, oh, that, that's super real. I'd be like, that's crazy. It's not a margarita film. That's also just as crazy as the aliens tattooing themselves. Cuz number one, that's revealing who did it. Mystery's gone. If only they did it to JonBenet Ramsey, we'd know what happened to her. That's just the truth. He's just like, oh, who did this to me? Jam? Oh, I see right there, it's this racist bird.
Henry Zebrowski
But the thing about the tattoo is that it wasn't bleeding as tattoos usually do immediately after they're done. And it didn't heal like a regular tattoo. It blistered when it healed and his skin peeled like a sunburn.
Marcus Parks
Like it was a brand.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. And to this day, Jim is convinced that he was abducted and for some reason tattooed by aliens that night.
Marcus Parks
Does he continue to have the tattoo?
Henry Zebrowski
I don't know. I don't have his number.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, he was tagged, you know, like.
Ed Larson
Yeah, like when we catch. Yeah, we catch a bear, we put a thing in its ear. It's the same thing.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, but normally they don't have like somebody from Brooklyn and they're doing like stick and poke tattoos most of the time. It's like a weird indiscriminate piece of metal that's put in the back behind your nose or it's like put in your knee cap or put inside of your, like your tit flesh where it's like this guy. That's true. Yeah, but the. I'm looking up Jim Andre Racist bird tense. When you say an Aryan Gray, you mean entirely white gray?
Henry Zebrowski
No, I mean an Aryan mixed with a gray alien. It's.
Ed Larson
Yeah, it's an alien with a swastika. On its forehead? Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Like a nor. I guess it would be more like a Nordic gray.
Marcus Parks
Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
Does that make more sense to you?
Marcus Parks
Thank you.
Henry Zebrowski
Now, there's a lot of ooky, spooky stuff going on in the Bridgewater truck, granted, but there's also an inordinate amount of murder. And in the Triangle it tends to have an occult edge, or so they say. Now we here all know that the satanic panic was just that it was a moral panic. And the massive coordinated groups of so called devil worshipers who impregnated women just so they could sacrifice the babies didn't really exist. But that doesn't mean.
Marcus Parks
That'S what I was looking to apply to next.
Henry Zebrowski
That was going to be my retirement. But that doesn't mean that there weren't killers who used the concept of Satan to give their murder a bit of kick. Guys like Richard Ramirez. In that same vein, you had a guy named Carl Drew who was a Massachusetts pimp and self identified Satanist. It was said by witnesses that Carl Drew entrapped sex workers and held them in his thrall by involving them in satanic cult activities and threatening violence, possibly sacrifice, if they rejected his so called protection.
Marcus Parks
All right, my sex workers for Satan that I have brought from various locations across the country to hang out in my living room. We're going to play Cranium and we are going to get to the end of Cranium or I will murder you.
Henry Zebrowski
When confessions that were in all probability coerced, but still a good story. Anyway, these women said that Carl Drew made them watch as he performed ritualistic human sacrifices in a log cabin in Freetown State Forest. You know what he called the log cabin?
Marcus Parks
What?
Henry Zebrowski
Carl Drew's cabin.
Marcus Parks
Wow, man. Evil as hell. What happens in there?
Henry Zebrowski
Supposedly one of the sex workers, Robin Murphy, shifted from observer to participant. And that's when another sex worker, a woman named Karen Marzen, went to the police. She called Carl the devil and said that she expected there to be consequences for going to the cops. And indeed there were, as Karen Marzin was murdered and supposedly sacrificed on February 8, 1980. Who knows if the ritual part is true, but the forensics did tell the story of a brutal murder.
Marcus Parks
There's something about a man with a mullet calling himself a Satanist in the middle of Massachusetts that I just, just don't believe them. And there's like, they always kind of say that it's always like a guy who kind of looks like Carl from Aquatine who's just like, you know, Mike War. Kind of has the. I used to be a Satanist, but, you know, now I'm. I'm different. But it's like, have you seen Satanist? This is the crowd of Satanists. Like, they look like this.
Henry Zebrowski
No, this crowd is far too attractive to be Satanist.
Marcus Parks
Hey. Hey. You see there? There were some disappointed frowns. There are people. You guys look.
Henry Zebrowski
Well. Marsden's hair and fingernails were pulled out, her head was beaten with stones, and she was finally killed when Carl snapped her neck. Once she was dead, Carl allegedly persuaded Robin Murphy to slit Marsden's throat. Carl then removed the head, and observers said that they kicked it around like a soccer ball. Finally, Carl had sex with the headless corpse, carved an X on its chest, and smeared Karen's blood on Robin's forehead. Does it hit differently when you get to look me in the eyes when I say this shit?
Marcus Parks
I told you all we should have played Cranium.
Ed Larson
They did play Cranium.
Marcus Parks
Oh, my God, I forgot. One more round of Cranium.
Henry Zebrowski
But before Marsden's mutilated body was even found, Robin confessed to the police and fingered Carl for both that murder. Murder and one before.
Marcus Parks
You guys all giggled at Finger. You all giggled at it. I was being mature.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, it was a test to see how many people are. Yeah, I do it all the time. Like when I say titular. Yeah, to see if he giggles, of course. And he always does.
Ed Larson
He 69 Carl for the murder.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, others testified that they were present at the murders or were told about the murders by Robin or Carl. But all have recanted their testimony in the decades since, saying that their testimonies were coerced. And besides that fact, they were all on a lot of drugs at the time, so maybe the memories weren't all that great.
Marcus Parks
We were on crazy drugs. Ibuprofen. I took an Aleve and I killed those women. I don't remember.
Henry Zebrowski
But even if all the satanic ritual sacrifice stuff was embellished or completely fabricated, which it probably was, it was with these murders that the satanic panic officially began in America, making the Bridgewater Triangle its unholy birthplace.
Marcus Parks
All of this dumb shit really does have wild consequences. Yeah, like something happens like. Like that is legitimately, like, it created a panic. It ruined hundreds of people's lives. And it came from that shithead.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, it really did. And it just came from people paying attention to the fucking Bridgewater Triangle.
Marcus Parks
We should have been hunting for buckwhudgies. Everybody that was in there killing people, they would had so much more hanging out with and looking for puck wedgies.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. Well, staying in the realm. Staying in the realm of reality. We spoke extensively on our original series about taunton state hospital, which is a mental asylum that also sometimes housed the criminally insane. And it's located smack dab in the middle of the bridgewater triangle. Built in 1853, Taunton was state of the art for its time. Time. Its 40 buildings had running water, a sewer system, central heat, and full ventilation.
Marcus Parks
Wow.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
So it must have been a really nice place for all the people inside.
Henry Zebrowski
Of it, kinda, at times.
Marcus Parks
Okay.
Henry Zebrowski
When they weren't getting, you know, plunged in ice baths to try to shock them out of their mental illness.
Marcus Parks
Honestly, I could use it.
Henry Zebrowski
I could do that to you today.
Marcus Parks
Let's try it.
Henry Zebrowski
Come over.
Marcus Parks
Come on. Let's fix me.
Henry Zebrowski
So this attention to what we now consider basic human rights came from progressive quaker policies in which the mentally ill were no longer just chained to a wall and left alone as they had been for centuries and centuries. They did, however, still do lobotomies galore. Throughout the 20th century, some of the patients at taunton had genuine mental illness, but some were there simply because they were promiscuous, outspoken, poorly socialized, or they masturbated to the point where it was a noticeable problem.
Marcus Parks
How do they lock up half of massachuset? Take a lap. Take a lap.
Henry Zebrowski
Yep. For that, you get claps, not laughs. But the most famous resident of Taunton was a woman or Taunton mental hospital.
Marcus Parks
Taunton.
Henry Zebrowski
Taunton was a woman who. No, I'm gonna say Taunton.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. Say Taunton.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. Yeah. At this point, the most famous resident of taun was a woman who absolutely deserved to be there. She has one of the highest body counts of any American female serial killer that we know of. 31 people. And her name was Jane topan. Reportedly, topan fondled her victims as they died in an attempt to see the inner workings of their souls through their eyes.
Marcus Parks
Women are fucked up. I didn't know that about serial killer. Obviously, men do horrible things, but it's actually nice to hear.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
A woman fondles the soul.
Henry Zebrowski
Get the last guy we talked about cut off a woman's head and fucked the corpse. And you're getting weirded out by a.
Marcus Parks
Woman going, you know what he's saying?
Henry Zebrowski
Like, pinch into fucking cheeks. And you're like, women are weird.
Marcus Parks
It's because if I met Carl and he said he did all that, I unfortunately, I'd be like, seen it, buddy.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
People do it all the time.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. Been there, done that. But with this. This makes you feel icky.
Marcus Parks
No.
Ed Larson
It's fun.
Henry Zebrowski
Okay.
Marcus Parks
I'm just saying it's great for women representation.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Ed Larson
You have a theory, you stick to it.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. And unlike many female serial killers, she admitted to experiencing a sexual thrill from watching patients be near death, recovering, and finally dying, which is pretty much edging. But with murder.
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
In one case, Topan poisoned a family's housekeeper. So it would appear that the housekeeper was drunk. Topan's plan was to get the housekeeper fired and take her place. And when the plan worked, Topan moved in and killed the whole family.
Marcus Parks
Holy shit. How have I never heard of Jane Topan before?
Henry Zebrowski
God, I don't know.
Marcus Parks
We should do this.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, we're gonna.
Marcus Parks
This is a big episode.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, we're gonna do Jane Tapan. We're gonna do the. The satanic murders that we talked about earlier. I got, like, four episodes.
Marcus Parks
This. Awesome.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. Well, Topan died in Taunton at the incredible age of 84. Wow.
Ed Larson
They always last so long.
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
She beat out Ed Gein's life in a mental hospital by seven years.
Marcus Parks
And he loved the mental hospital. He loved it.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. Yeah. He was 77. But, you know, women live longer, less stress. Now. Like many mental hospitals in America, Taunton closed down the Asylum Wing in 1978.
Marcus Parks
Now all you go out into the Triangle. Get out there, you crazies. Enjoy the woods.
Henry Zebrowski
But it continued to be used by the state to house juvenile delinquents and, more recently, recovering substance abusers. But considering how it was indeed an insane asylum, it's just as haunted as any other insane asylum. And it has the added bonus of rumored satanic cult activity due to its location in the Bridgewater Trail Triangle. See, it was rumored that the hospital was actually closed because the staff were taking incapacitated patients into the basement to conduct satanic rituals. And several patients were sacrificed when the devil would appear.
Marcus Parks
No, I'm not here. I'm just here for Covid. I. No, please don't. I'm not crazy. You go on the slab. This is my friend. He's watching.
Henry Zebrowski
I mean, this isn't completely outside of the realm of possibility. Fucking Jimmy Savile did this in the UK all the time.
Marcus Parks
It's real.
Henry Zebrowski
Reportedly, there's still bizarre demonic markings on the basement walls.
Ad Host
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
Think about. We do have to do Jimmy Savile at some point.
Henry Zebrowski
We don't have to do anything.
Marcus Parks
He used to sleep in the morgue with all the bodies. And then he would go, and he would.
Henry Zebrowski
Ah, God.
Marcus Parks
And he would shower at the hospital. Hospital. Like, he'd stop just to go Shower at the hospital with the small hairy children.
Ed Larson
He was an idea man.
Marcus Parks
He a bad idea man.
Henry Zebrowski
He did have a lot of ideas.
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
A lot of energy. When you ever see somebody that old still jogging, think about it, be like, what are your other hobbies? What are you trying to keep what you need all this stamina for?
Henry Zebrowski
Well, one staff member said that as he stood on the last step of the staircase before entering the basement, he was hit by an incredibly vivid vision of devil worship, complete with auditory hallucinations of drums and chanting along with the smell of smoke. The vision stopped as soon as he stepped back, and he quit Taunton the next day. Staff members have also said that they've seen an apparition that they call the Smokey Man. Oh, he's a little over 5ft tall and consists of a smoky hazy cloud in the shape of a man. He's the smoky man. It's all we got on.
Marcus Parks
Have you met that smokey Man? For the puck wedgies.
Henry Zebrowski
Others experience something they call the shadow man, who sometimes appears as United.
Marcus Parks
Know what?
Henry Zebrowski
Shadow.
Marcus Parks
Oh, it's a shadow man.
Henry Zebrowski
And sometimes he appears fully formed. Consistently, though the apparition is described as definitely a man. It's a man, but his face is obscured and he always appears in the corner of a residence room and stares directly at the terrified patient.
Marcus Parks
Why don't you sleep? Go to sleep. Go the fox sleep. I can't do what I'm gonna do while you Thanks. I want to do together for sleep and so keeps passing through Ah. I just want to fondle and touch.
Henry Zebrowski
You.
Marcus Parks
I'm just a shadow man.
Henry Zebrowski
And so considering how there are actually many stories that I didn't even talk about in this update.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, dude.
Henry Zebrowski
So many.
Marcus Parks
Many. There's a lot of shit in this triangle.
Henry Zebrowski
It's likely that the activity in the Bridgewater triangle will continue for as long as people inhabit the state of Massachusetts. Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.
Marcus Parks
We did it. Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
Wow.
Marcus Parks
This is the first time we've ever done a straight up live podcast like this. And I think we did fine.
Henry Zebrowski
We did fine. No, seriously, We've never done a live podcast like this ever.
Marcus Parks
I feel like news nude.
Ad Host
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
I normally choose to be nude on stage, but I feel like when Natalie sees me try to get in the tub, like that kind of nude.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, yeah.
Marcus Parks
Like. Which is a. Too. Too nude.
Ed Larson
You know you did naked comedy before.
Marcus Parks
I know, but it's.
Ed Larson
And the same guy kept showing up every week.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, I remember that. You sat like that. Honestly, I love a fan yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
You know, I've seen you naked on stage a couple dozen times, but it's.
Marcus Parks
Weird is that when I'm using my body as a weapon, I don't feel nearly as vulnerable as this.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, I know. This is weird. I'm gonna go home and take a shower.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. Because I feel like. But it's nice. So I'm glad you hear. I could. I trust you all. Yeah. I trust you all and I'm glad that you were here for this.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. I can tell by your T shirts.
Marcus Parks
And if you're listening to this in your car right now, I'm sorry you didn't have any fun today. I'm sorry that you got a live podcast episode and you probably were like, oh, you know, and because you're gonna. You'll be mad, right? About getting it.
Ed Larson
Just get some fucking ice cream and get over it.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, man. Go buy some bullets and think about how you want to use them. I said ice, but I did say. I just said bullets because, like, what's nice about is that you can just. That you can think and you can write names and ideas on the bullets.
Ed Larson
You need a good pen, though.
Marcus Parks
Yes. Uni Sharpie. Yeah, yeah, Thick Sharpie. Cuz then to me, that's all. Sometimes I just get it out of my system and then I take those bullets and I throw it out in the trash can in front of the middle school. Just cuz again, the kid. It's just so they. It's out of my hands.
Ed Larson
Investigate him, not me.
Henry Zebrowski
They go right down the middle and say, just go home and masturbate. Good night, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you so much.
Marcus Parks
You're all angels in disguise. Hail Satan.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. And now we come to the point where I believe we exit first. Goodbye.
Ad Host
Yes.
Marcus Parks
As we walk through you, we walk through this crowd. Oh, should we do like. Do we need to do like plugs and stuff? Do we have to go like, hey, well, you've just listened to the last podcast stuff.

Date: November 14, 2025
Hosts: Marcus Parks, Henry Zebrowski, Ed Larson
Location: Sirius XM Live Recording
Theme: A comedic deep-dive re-examination of legends, cryptids, and crimes within Massachusetts’ Bridgewater Triangle, delivered with Last Podcast’s signature blend of dark humor, historical trivia, and absurdity.
In this spirited live episode, the LPOTL crew returns to the Bridgewater Triangle—a notorious 200-square-mile stretch in southeastern Massachusetts known for its weird blend of cryptids, UFOs, murder, and general paranormal chaos. The hosts revisit key legends, share newly uncovered oddities, and riff on the Triangle’s role in both true crime and American folklore. The live format lends extra energy and off-script shenanigans, revealing how the “sausage gets made” in real-time.

Haunted Reputation:
"You’re seeing all sorts of... you’re seeing, like, Hen throwing everything against the wall; you’re seeing me read everything. It feels really awkward. But it’s done. This is how the sausage is made."
— Marcus Parks
“All of the names don’t make any sense. And they are never read as they are spelled.”
— Marcus Parks
“Mainly you’re alone and no one’s holding you. No one’s... you’re not having sex, you’re not enjoying yourself... And so when you hear a podcast of other people laughing and having a good time in a room, you just realize how empty the room is that you’re in while you’re listening to it.”
— Marcus Parks
“Anywhere you see a Bigfoot, it is probably a bear with a skin disease.”
— Marcus Parks
“The Pukwudgie is described as a hair covered 3 foot tall hominid with grey skin, large ears and long fingers and noses. Pukwudgies are mischievous little creatures who can vanish and appear at will...and they can sometimes lead humans to their deaths in Habakkuk Swamp, man.”
— Henry Zebrowski
“All of this dumb shit really does have wild consequences. It created a panic. It ruined hundreds of people’s lives. And it came from that shithead.”
— Marcus Parks
Irreverent and Comedic:
The hosts constantly riff, joke, and digress. Jabs at Massachusetts culture, mutual teasing, and absurdist asides keep things light even during macabre segments.
Audience Integration:
Occasional references to reactions from the live crowd (“You all giggled at Finger. You all giggled at it. I was being mature.” — Marcus Parks, 56:18)
Meta-Commentary:
Multiple moments where they deliberately “show how the sausage is made” (reading/writing, adjusting stories, and noting their editorial process).
Dark Humor with Sensitivity:
The hosts call out and reject the more exploitative sides of true crime and paranormal hysteria, contextualizing them within broader societal anxieties.
The Bridgewater Triangle remains a microcosm of American weirdness: A place where cryptids, UFOs, and sensationalized crimes blur the lines between folk legend, mass hysteria, and true crime.
Unresolved and open-ended:
The hosts stress that the region’s strangeness both feeds on and is fed by its own myth-making—there are always more stories, because people keep looking (and sometimes, keep inventing).
Relevance of skepticism:
While celebrating the folklore, the episode calls out the real harm caused by sensationalism, exemplified in the satanic panic.
“It’s likely that the activity in the Bridgewater Triangle will continue for as long as people inhabit the state of Massachusetts.”
— Henry Zebrowski, [65:51]
If you missed this episode, you’ll laugh, cringe, and maybe even learn a little about the haunted past (and present) of one of America’s weirdest regions—while peeking behind the curtain at how LPOTL makes its magic.
