Lake Nippenicket. The Bridgewater Triangle's lake of doom. These shallow waters have an average depth of three feet deep, but its mysteries run deep. Just because it looks safe, doesn't mean you should go in the water. This lake has a reputation of stealing the lives of those way too young to die, whether it be by drowning, boating accidents, or falling through the thin ice, into the one of the Bridgwater Triangle's strangest places.
Accidents and drownings are not the only news here on this lake where seldomly one sees a bird fly over its dismal waters, UFOs have also been seen here at Lake Nipenickett. And then there is the lake's mysterious island. People have reported seeing strange monkey like creatures creeping out there. Others have seen phantom tribal dances around spectral fires. Only to paddle out to the island to find no one there and no ssign of a fire.
Though the name "Nippenicket" sounds as if it was the original Native American name for the lake, it was not. Nippenicket was an English name. Lake Nippenicket was called Nuncktetest or Neapnuncket is what the ancients called it.

Sounds like a load of crap to me.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a strange place. I have spent a lot of time in on and around the lake and lived in the heart of the Bridgewater triangle and have seen and heard many strange events over the years. A friend of mine did not believe the island of the "Nip" was haunted. He took a piece of wood of the island and it took him two years to realize he had been cursed with a series of events from that day forward.
ReplyDeleteI spent many happy days swimming and boating with my cousins on the Nip at my great-aunt Minnie and Uncle Ken's cottage. There house was located right on the water and was always full of laughter and fun. They were spiritualists and seemed to have an unshakable calmness and were very tuned in to the "unseen" around them.
