Bennington

Thanks for listening.

Now, the Bennington Triangle.

It's a term popularized by New England author and folklorist Joseph A. Citro to describe a specific region of southwestern Vermont where a series of mysterious disappearances occurred between 1945 and 1950.

This triangle is centered on Glastonbury Mountain and includes the surrounding towns of Bennington, Woodford, Chapsbury, and Somerset.

Now, we're going to go into a detailed factual examination of the geography, the primary cold cases, and the documented investigative outcomes associated with the region.

Now, the area is located within the Green Mountain National Forest.

However, no other physical remains or gear were ever located.

The second disappearance, Paula Jean Weldon on December 1, 1946.

In the beginning of October 1777, when General Burgoyne was advancing from the north, and Sir Henry Clinton from the south, threatening a total dismemberment of the states, a call was made for volunteers from Marlborough, where Declarant was still residing, to march against Burgoyne.

Declarant volunteered in this service, and a company of his townsmen was organized under William Morse as captain and Ephraim Barber and Obadiah Bass lieutenants, and Declarant marched with them through Springfield and Northampton, Massachusetts, Brattleboro and Bennington, Vermont, Hoosick and came reached to Saratoga, New York, where they arrived two or three days before the surrender of Burgoyne.

Declarant's regiment was commanded by Colonel Reed on this occasion.

After the surrender of Burgoyne, Declarant and his regiment returned, having in their charge the Hessian prisoners in one party and the British prisoners in another, the regiment having divided and taken different routes for that purpose.

Because we drove over to Kinderhook, of course, to film there.

But between Bennington and Kinderhook, and then it even felt this way when we drove over to interview, um, Joseph Citro, who's in the Southeastern part of Vermont.

So a little ways away.

Um, all of that seemed like we'd see on the gps you know an hour or two hours and then 20 minutes would go by and you'd look at the gps and it would be like 58 minutes left or something like it literally was moving so slowly that there were points where all of us that were in the car would look at each other and we're like are we collectively losing our minds It makes no sense why this is happening.

But it seemed like we were driving forever and the time would barely change on the GPS.

And...

it was exhausting at point where like, are we in some weird time slip somehow? Is there something to this Bennington triangle area that messes with time? Like it was, it was really weird.

We all experienced it and at different times and together.
