No One Can Explain What"s Been Happening In This Small Town In Whales

Bridgend is a sleepy little town and surrounding county in Whales. The town sits right along the the beautiful Ogmore River. It’s the quintessential kind of Welsh town with lots of rain, old bricks, and bridges.


However, once you know the area’s mysterious and tragic story, you’ll realize that something else is going on here. Even psychologists and researchers are at a loss to explain what is happening in Bridgend.
