The Wampanoag called it Hockomock—"place where spirits dwell." They named it that twelve thousand years before anyone else noticed something was wrong with this swamp.

Tonight we descend into the Bridgewater Triangle, a 200-square-mile region in southeastern Massachusetts where Bigfoot stalks the wetlands, UFOs hover over highways, and the ghost of an 80-year-old war captain still guards the rock where he surrendered three centuries ago.

In 1978, Joseph DeAndrade walked into Hockomock Swamp and walked out describing a seven-foot creature covered in hair. He wasn't the first. He wouldn't be the last. Drivers on Route 44 still report picking up a red-haired hitchhiker who climbs into their backseat and vanishes. Visitors to Anawan Rock see phantom campfires flickering where a Wampanoag warrior gave up sacred wampum belts before his execution.

King Philip's War soaked this ground in blood. The Freetown State Forest hid genuine horrors in the 1980s. And cryptozoologist Loren Coleman drew a triangle around all of it, connecting the dots of fifty years of documented strangeness.

Maybe it's swamp gas. Maybe it's bears. Maybe it's the power of suggestion.

Or maybe the Wampanoag knew exactly what they were talking about when they named this place.

Some mysteries aren't meant to be solved. They're meant to be felt.

What's up, gang? This week, Josh takes the wheel for one of the most heartbreaking mysteries in Hollywood history—the tragic story of Judith Barsi.

You probably know her voice even if you don't recognize her name. At just ten years old, Judith had already appeared in over 70 commercials and landed iconic voice roles that still resonate with audiences today. She was the voice behind Ducky in The Land Before Time and Anne-Marie in All Dogs Go to Heaven—characters whose optimistic catchphrases like "Yep! Yep! Yep!" masked a devastating reality happening off-screen.

Josh dives deep into what made Judith so special in the industry, why directors fought to cast her despite her small stature, and the warning signs that everyone seemed to miss. The gang also discusses similar cases of young stars whose bright lights were extinguished too soon, including Jonathan Brandis and Aaron Carter.

But it's not all heavy stuff—Shane and Josh also catch up on winter weather survival stories (including that infamous rice cake incident from their youth), family updates about a new baby girl, and their thoughts on period dramas getting historical details hilariously wrong.

Join us as we remember a voice that touched millions, and explore why Hollywood's youngest stars often face its darkest shadows.
