Bennington Triangle / Glastenbury, VT - Documentary (Part 1 of 2) 

As a forester I am glad people fear going in the woods. Best that you all just stay out. VERY SCARY.

Anyone that claims that area isn't creepy has probably never been there. I'm up in Rutland, but I've been down that way- some of the hills down over near Brattleboro (as you're headed there from Woodstock area) are just as intimidating- the burial cairns don't help.

This place is so creepy, I live 3 miles from it and I have been up there on a four wheeler in the dark and I swear someone was looking at us. My grandpa who would have been 100 this year had so many stories about the Glastonbury tramp house. Come visit.

I've lived in VT on and off my whole life. I have moved away several times but something always pulls me back! I live in VT today. I need to start traveling to these places and rediscover a different part of VT, that really intrigue me. I have lived all over the US and Canada, but I have to say that Vermont, if you know the land and how to live in it, is the safest place to live!

I have been on Glastenbury Mountain 4 wheeling and camping many times. I have not seen big foot but strange lights in the woods and heard a train. There is no rails anywhere near us. Weird.

Grew up in Central Vermont- the Triangle, the "Gulf" road on Rte.14 in Williammstiwn, Gifford Woods and Emily's Bridge in Stowe, Vt., are the most strangest places I've ever encountered in my 52 years! I live in New Jersey now and have done my share of traveling! Vermont is magickal, mysterious, beautiful but a lot of tragedy and high strangeness!

I really enjoyed this, thanks for posting. Hi from Australia xxx xxx

I now work with a lady who's first name is Bennington. She was born there and named after Bennington. I used to Live in Arlington and my family had a camp in Plymouth Notch which is really an awesome place to spend a summer.

When I was like 9 I almost fell right into and old well. The wooden lid was old and really overgrown right next to a asphalted road around 20 ft from our backyard. I walked over it, it cracked and I fell into it but was lucky enough to grab a young tree and hauled my ass out of it. Now had that tree NOT been there I wouldn't be here today, perhaps some of these pepole suffered similar fates? they just didn't pay attention and fell into death traps like that.

Hi, I’m writing a novel that takes place in Bennington, VT, if you’ve had any strange experiences or sightings there or near there please reply to this comment!

Such a compelling story line. This has made me want to go there to just feel the beauty and question any eerie feeling. Thanks for sharing.

This video was one of my inspirations to compose a tune titled "Glastenbury, VT." Thanks msgfilms/Matt!

I hiked that area many times back in 1973 and 74, 75 gods country up there!

The Bennington student is the cautionary tale that has been told to females since time began; don't wander off into the woods by yourself. Countless females have wandered off by themselves and not come back to prove any adage regarding this. Many viewers are too young to understand how vast and rural this country was back in the day; unless they lived in a metro area a person could easily walk out of Anytown USA and into wooded or isolated area, whereas now you might have to plan and schedule and equip for a woodland visitation. In CA one can hop onto either Southbound freeway from Sac and not see a forest until you got into Guatamala. Head East into the mountains and chances can be high one wanders into forest land protected by marijuana growers. As for every other disappearance: people get lost all the time, and what saves the day is the fact that others IMMEDIATELY look for them, or they luckily don't face anything in the environment that finishes them.

This is great! Glad you put it out there. Thank you!

A few things were misreported here. The veteran Jim Tedford who disappeared from the bus 3 years to the day after Paula Jean Wheldon was staying at the soldier’s home. He hadn’t gone to visit his wife. This was 1949 and he’d been drafted into WW2 in the early 40’s. He’d actually come home from the War at one point to find **his wife was missing** from the house they shared. Everything else was still there. His relatives had last seen her about a week earlier at the Amoco gas station and store near town. It’s interesting that he’s noted here as visiting his wife - that’s misreported as he’d only be visiting his wife if he’d disappeared to find her. He had family members to visit there but his wife, at least was still missing. That’s why he was actually in the Veteran’s home instead of at his own home. He’d moved into the soldier’s home after he returned from war. He didn’t want to stay in the house, alone. Furthermore, the fact he was seen at a bus station is only because he didn’t disappear until AFTER he visited relatives. He was able to meet with them in St Alban’s and spend time together. In fact, they’re the witnesses who saw him at the bus stop because they brought him to the station and watched him board. It’s supposed that he actually disembarked from the bus at a different stop although there’s no witness to that. It’s only assumed perhaps he did disembark at a different stop and witness accounts who placed him on the bus later were mistaken **along with the head count taken by the driver** as the bus left the stop.

I have been camping many times in this area. Glastonbury. Somerset Reservoir etc. Have heard truly inexplicable noises in the Forest at night. Otherworldly. Several times. It is a very very strange place

A really well made video about a subject that has always fascinated me. Great job!

What an awesome old house. It is a shame that some long term use couldn't be found then.

It does have a National Park, I see....hmmmm, nuff said!!!

0:12 that is just so bazaar and unusual for that bit of land to be cleared in a big space of surrounding forest

Its cursed because of the devastation to the forests I guarantee it they pissed off the Forest Spirits.

Missing 411 Thousands of people have gone missing in the woods and the parks department will not cooperate. Missing 411 if you care.

These are all pretty old comments. I'LL go ahead and make one anyway. All of this is interesting, but, have there been any disappearances lately? This is 2019, what about in the last 3 or 4 years? 🚬👓...

11:44 I’m thinking MOUNTAIN LION ? I’ve heard interviews from Guides/Hunters from the Vermont area. I’ve also watched videos from NWT that talk about mountain lion taking people as food items.

is there a boulder field close to this place perhaps?

A good Smokey fire would assist people trying to find lost people. Those lost people probably didn't live long enough to start a fire. They could have had a mass murderer up there.

My late boyfriend was from Vermont. He's told me stories about Bennington.

wow what is awesome is, I got really interested in this story as you must have been doing this documentary! I am from northern VT but am very drawn to this story. I'd love to talk more with you about it! Feel free to email me.

just read about this in Thomas D'Agostino's book called Abandoned Villages and ghost towns of New England,....pretty cool

Vermont is Beautiful. And the people there are awesome! Being a Southerner originally, I must say that the Yankees in Vermont are great people. Glad to call them my fellow Americans!!

I have been there many times and I have never seen anything strange.

I've heard the same comment about bright colored clothing from people overseas. Those most likely to disappear went into the woods (or wherever) wearing red or bright clothing. Seems to be a universal.

Woh! Apparently 'Lake Erie' in Ontario, Canada also has a similar "every thing goes missing" issue. Not to mention a gigantic patch of botulism living somewhere in the middle.... This world is crazy cool...!

.....BLACK PANTHERs ARE REAL...SOOOO SHINY THEY GLISTEN...AGE: 1-1/2 yrs . Nocturnal...2:30 AM...seen 10 ft. In headlights....long, heavyish whipping tail...blessed for this memory....

Welden wasn't dressed for the night cold, nor did she have any supplies. So why didn't she head back to her dorm when it started getting dark? It doesn't make sense that she continued into the woods as night fell knowing that she'd be in trouble once the temperature dropped as sharply as it did come nightfall

That one guy looks like BTK.

My grandfather looked for me rivers for a few years. Mr Paul Harrington Cross.

Hey I’m the same video class and made a Bennington triangle video just now with Ryan Scutt and he mentioned to find this video and it’s great!

in'erestin' video but WHY SKIP the WILDMAN articles on Glastonberry Mountain from the late 1800's ? That may very well be key in the disappearances

This is wild!

I love Vermont I just get sick of living in the same town or village so I just move everywhere in Vermont

Hello Friend. Great job on this video. Obviously a lot of time and research went into this. Have you ever tried to get distribution on this film? We are currently working on the first ever feature-length documentary on the Bridgewater Triangle in Massachusetts. Type "Bridgewater Triangle Documentary" into the RU-vid search and it'll come right up. It's under the Big Operations account.

Hello, this is the Korean TV show. I'd like to use your video while dealing with the Bennington mystery. I'll be waiting for the reply.

hunt there every year and saw a ghost

I want to hear the haunted forest.

Does Styxhexenhàmmer666 live by it?

How has everyone in the comment section been to this place💀

The logging camps in Glastonbury cut tress to make charcoal for the iron industry not for lumber.

Good job. I've posted it to my Facebook group, Trails, Parks and Places of USA Network. Please join and post.

I have heard of Ethan Allen And the Green Mountain Boys ..they were from this area

cool doc.... just read about this today in of a places a foreign newspaper..!

Ive been tgere a couple of times, it looks and feels weird which i love the feeling walking there. But nothing has happened.

Anybody else find themselves wanting to stand up and shout "Shut up, and GIVE ME MURDER!!!" at 3:10? 😋

People get lost in the woods, nothing "paranormal about it.

I live in VT

The narrator sounds Exactly like the guy from Wired Magazine. the one who did the story on the Silk Road

A page from 411....place's with the name devil or hell in them do not bode well for wanderers of the woods.

Good Grief!

Nice cymbals.

7:40 I tracked her route on a Google map. It's a basically rural region surrounded by dense forests and mountains. Even today, it's pretty easy to lose your way. She probably went off the road, entered a forest, and vanished.

Me from Quebec up north "That would be an awesome place to go in an Atv

@sinned581 Yes there is watch part 2

I have lived in Vermont all my life and this history is interesting but the ghost story are bull!

I need to go!!

jeans and sneakers in 1946?

Antidepressants weren't invinted until the 50s.

Hell hallow sounds like a good horror novel or movie . overall this place just sounds 1 huge disaster. Lots of negative energy. Could make for a good movie.

9:13 😳looks like a Egyptian obelisk!? 🤔🤔 🤷🏻‍♂️

00:29 So if you are affiliated with the Bloods, Little Red Riding Hood, the British Red Coats of the Revolutionary War STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. YOU SHALL NOT FIND ANY FANS HERE,

Did girls wear sneakers in 1946?

Cool 😎

It probably was a serial killer.

The scariest thing in Vermont are people who vote for Barney Sandals.
