Episode 2 - The Bennington Triangle

In this episode, we are going out to the eastern part of the United States in the Green Mountain National Forest in the lovely state of Vermont to look at what some locals believe is a mystery similar to that of the Bermuda Triangle.  This area has been coined, the Bennington Triangle.  This name was first used by New England author, Joseph A. Citro.  Citro described the area as the woodlands around Glastenbury Mountain that includes the towns of Bennington, Woodford, and Shaftsbury.  There are also two ghost towns in this area, Somerset and Glastenbury.  Why call out this area?  Well, it got most of its attention when 5 people went missing in the area from 1945 to 1950.  Further investigation into this area, however, shows us that there have long been mysterious happenings in this area.  Everything from a “wild man” or bigfoot sightings, UFO sightings, and of course, many missing people.  Some say as many as 40 people have gone missing in this area over the years.
