True Crime Mystery: The Haunted Disappearances of the Bennington Triangle

Описание: True Crime Mystery: The Haunted Disappearances of the Bennington Triangle

Between 1945 and 1950, the Bennington Triangle in Vermont became the site of five eerie and unsolved disappearances. This remote region—centered around Glastenbury Mountain and including the towns of Bennington, Woodford, Shaftsbury, and the ghost towns of Glastenbury and Somerset—has long been linked to mystery, folklore, and paranormal theories.

Coined in 1992 by author Joseph A. Citro, the term Bennington Triangle draws comparisons to the Bermuda Triangle due to its history of missing persons cases and unexplained phenomena.

The Vanishings:

Middie Rivers (1945) – A 74-year-old hunting guide disappeared along the Long Trail; only a rifle cartridge was ever found.

Paula Jean Welden (1946) – An 18-year-old Bennington College student vanished during a hike, sparking one of Vermont’s largest search efforts.

James E. Tedford (1949) – A WWII veteran vanished from a bus between stops, leaving his belongings behind.

Paul Jepson (1950) – An 8-year-old boy disappeared near a landfill; search dogs lost his trail suddenly.

Frieda Langer (1950) – A 53-year-old hiker went missing and was found months later in an area previously searched, cause of death unknown.

Theories range from fatal wilderness accidents to Bigfoot sightings, UFO encounters, cursed lands, and possible serial killers. Despite decades of speculation, these cold cases remain unsolved and stand among the most chilling true crime mysteries in Vermont’s history.

If you’re fascinated by unsolved mysteries, missing persons cases, and haunted locations, this deep dive into the Bennington Triangle will keep you hooked.
