Where the Real and the Un-real collide

East Harwich, Cape Cod, 2016

Bill Russo, who caused a minor ripple in the paranormal community when his midnight walk and talk with a hairy ‘Little Foot’ was featured in the Bridgewater Triangle Documentary and on national television in Monsters and Mysteries in America; has stepped into the world of fiction for his latest work.

“Swamp Tales” is a collection of eerie short campfire tales that take place in the haunted Hockomock Swamp and a strange Cape Cod lake compounded of equal parts of salt water, fresh water, and a section of ‘Brack’ said to be home to deadly, poison finned fish. It’s being offered free on a variety of on line websites including Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, Kobo, and many more.  It is listed for .99 at Amazon.com.  Russo has requested that Amazon also make it free. 

Despite a lapse of some two decades since he encountered the thing some people call a “Puckwudgie”, Russo says his memory of the thing is as fresh as if it were yesterday. 

 Calling him with the plea, “Keer, Keer,  Ee wan chu, Ee wan chu”, it waved a furry mitt and motioned him to come forward.  To have done so, would have meant death, according to believers of the legend.  The Puckwudgie cannot attack its prey, but has to lure it into its grasp.  But for his dog, Samantha, quivering in fear at his side, Russo probably would have been another victim claimed by the evil that dwells in the swamp.

Russo’s account of the meeting is detailed in “The Creature from the Bridgewater Triangle” in paperback and E-book from Amazon. He is also the author of Ghosts of Cape Cod and has been doing talks and book signings across the Cape.

“The reality of the swamp thing stays with me every day.  Knowing that they are there is unsettling,” he said.  “I decided to start writing fictional versions of such things, in part to help ease my memory of the real thing,” he said.
