Coordinates: 41.987155°, -70.965071°
Location Address: 131 Summer Street, Bridgewater, Massachusetts, 02324 Bridgewater State University in Bridgewater, Massachusetts was founded in 1840 as the Bridgewater Normal School, and many of the old buildings on campus are rumored to be haunted. The Campus Center Auditorium is said to be haunted by the spirit of a man named George, whose apparition is seen by students playing different instruments in the orchestra pit late at night. Shea-Durgin Hall is said to be haunted by the spirit of a young woman who was strangled to death in Room 208 by a jealous boyfriend after it was discovered she was having an affair. In addition to witnessing the young woman's apparition, residents at Shea-Durgin Hall report experiencing a variety of poltergeist activity, such as lights flickering, and objects being moved or thrown by an unseen entity. Tillinghast Hall is also said to be haunted by the spirit of a former headmistress who died after falling from the building's rooftop. Students at Bridgewater State University have reported experiencing paranormal activity throughout its campus dating back to the late 1800's. #2 - Camp Titicut Reservation
Coordinates: 41.931820°, -70.999631°
Location Address: 190 Beech Street, Bridgewater, Massachusetts, 02324 Camp Titicut Reservation in Bridgewater, Massachusetts was first settled by Native Americans during the 1500's, and was used as a boy's summer camp starting in the 1930's. In 1946 the site was excavated by the Massachusetts Archaeological Society, which uncovered numerous Native American burial sites, as well as over 6,000 other tribal artifacts and relics. Hikers at Camp Titicut report witnessing the apparitions of former tribesmen and women, as well as the spirit of a young boy who drowned in a nearby lake while camping. Others report feeling sudden cold spots, as well as feeling the presence of an unseen entity in the woods. One popular urban legend claims that King Phillip was executed at Camp Titicut, however these claims have been debunked as being historically inaccurate. Despite that, some still claim to encounter the forlorn spirit of King Phillip wandering the woods late at night. #3 - Lake Nippenicket
Coordinates: 41.968345°, -71.040255°
Location Address: Lakeside Drive, Bridgewater, Massachusetts, 02324 Sometimes referred to as simply "The Nip," Lake Nippenicket in Bridgewater, Massachusetts is said to be haunted by the spirit of an elderly man who drowned while fishing. The man's apparition is often seen by swimmers at night paddling a small boat before disappearing into the night. Unfortunately, very little additional information is available regarding this allegedly haunted location. #4 - William H. McElwain School
Coordinates: 41.995442°, -70.981405°
Location Address: 250 Main Street, Bridgewater, Massachusetts, 02324 The William H. McElwain School in Bridgewater, Massachusetts was constructed in 1912 and served as a public school until 1997. The location is rumored to be haunted by the spirit of a former student whose ghost remains at the school for unknown reasons. Former students at William H. McElwain School have reported encountering the young boy's apparition in one of the bathrooms, as well as experiencing other unexplained paranormal phenomena, such as faucets turning on and off by themselves, and stall doors being pushed open or shut unexpectedly. Urban explorers and paranormal investigators at the school report feeling the presence of an unseen entity, or experiencing feelings of being watched. The William H. McElwain School was added to the National Register of Historic Places in January of 2013.

News & UpdatesFirst off, I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone reading this email, and everyone who takes the time to share my posts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram! As you know, I do all of the writing, research, web development, video editing, and content creation for GhostQuest.net myself, and I appreciate your support so much!! I know it's been awhile since my last newsletter, and as those of you who follow along with my social media accounts know, it's because I've spent the last four months nonstop running a massive update on GhostQuest.net - and as of last week, those updates are finally finished!!! So what's new, you might ask? Most notably, the number of allegedly haunted locations listed on GhostQuest.net has jumped from 4,969 to a total of 12,689. That's an increase of over 7,700 haunted locations added to my database, which averages out to 254 haunted locations in each state!! This may officially make GhostQuest.net the largest online database for haunted locations in the United States, and I'm so proud of the way things are shaping up!! Additionally as I was going through each page, I decided to make some coding changes which should see improvements in site performance and loading speed, as well as making certain parts of the site look a bit tidier and more uniform. These changes have also improved the way GhostQuest.net is found by Google and has effectively doubled my traffic over the last few months, which is also really exciting!! So, have you checked your state page in the last few weeks since my big update? Have you noticed any new haunted locations that weren't listed previously, or know one I may have forgotten? Reply to this email and let me know!! I also released a new YouTube Video about The Wendigo, which is the last video of my Top 5 American Monsters series. Click below to learn more about the fearsome Wendigo, and hear the stories of Swift Runner, who murdered his wife and children while allegedly possessed by the spirit of a Wendigo, and Jack Fiddler, who claims to have killed dozens of Wendigos before his death.
