By Bill Russo
The
mysterious Dighton Rock and the spurious Plymouth Rock are the
subjects of chapters two and three, respectively, of The Creature
from the Bridgewater Triangle and other Odd Tales from New England.

The
Dighton rock can be compared to a modern day graffiti wall. A
massive 40 ton boulder, it was buried in the Great Taunton River in
Southeastern Massachusetts for hundreds of years until its discovery
by Europeans in the 1600s, The strange and unusual markings upon the
stone, have never been figured out, though there are many opinions as
to what they might be. The Dighton Rock is real and eerie. It has
been moved from the river bed to its own little known museum. More
on this topic, as well as the location of the scary tiny home of the
big rock, is found in the second chapter of the book.

Chapter
three, much to the chagrin of the people of Plymouth, Massachusetts,
exposes the truth about the iconic Plymouth Rock. It is a rock; but
it is not THE rock.
