New England ghosts

The Bridgewater Triangle is an area of about 200 square miles in southeastern Massachusetts claimed to be a site of paranormal phenomena, ranging from UFOs to poltergeists, and other spectral phenomena, various bigfoot-like sightings, giant snakes and thunderbirds. The term was coined by New England-based cryptozoologist Loren Coleman.

“Form is a jostle, a throstle,
Life a slice of sleight,

“Indians are looking out from the
“Cheekbones of Connecticut Yankees,

”Poltergeists deploy northward
To tinderboxes in cupboards in Maine….’’

‘Metaphor for devastation’

Frost at his 85th birthday party, in 1959.

“While he {Robert Frost) was talking he was looking out,

But stayed in, sagacity better indoors.

He became a metaphor for inner devastation,

Too scared to accept my invitation.’’

— From “Worldly Failure,’’ by Richard Eberhart (1904-2005), an American poet. He knew Frost (1874-1963), a giant of English language poetry.
