I just wanted to tell you what I know and have experienced in Glastonbury and The Bennington Triangle. I am a current resident of Bennington VT and I have lived here for more than 20 years. It is the most energetic area that I have ever experienced. Many people call it the most haunted area in New England. I have multiple friends that swear they have seen big foot, I myself have not only experienced UFO sightings but also witnessed otherworldly entities with my own eyes on multiple occasions. Many many people have written books about “the four winds” and the Bennington Triangle”. Many people have gone missing over the years and all but 1 were with no trace despite the large search parties. The story goes “An Algonquin legend warned of a malevolent stone in the mountains that would open up and devour anyone unlucky enough to step on it.
The phrase Bennington Triangle was coined by New England author Joseph A. Citro in 1992, who said the area shares characteristics with the Bridgewater Triangle in neighboring Massachusetts. Vermonter reports as many an estimated 40 people have vanished in the Bennington Triangle. However, a significant number of the disappearances occurred between 1945 and 1950. In a five-year period, Paul Jepson, age 8, Frieda Langer, age 53, Middie Rivers, age 74, James Tedrod, age 68, and Paula Welden, age 18, vanished on or around Glastenbury Mountain.
The Abenaki also believed the mountain was cursed because the four winds appeared to meet at the peak, and often changed direction erratically. As reported by Revelator Network, they also believed there was a “man-eating stone” on the mountain, which would open up and swallow anyone who happened to step on it. The 27,000 acres surrounding Glastenbury Mountain include two ghost towns and more than 36 square miles of uninhabited land. So three ghost towns including Glastonbury.
I can personally attest to the fact that something is off with that mountain. It’s creepy looking even. We used to have keg parties up there as kids and I will tell you one night we were being stalked by something. Nobody left the fire that night. We actually scooted out of dodge and it was a treacherous road not made for cars. I lost an exhaust going up it once. I walked the mountain years later during the day and it’s almost electric. The energy up there is like static. The woods are very quiet. No birds or anything. The four winds meet at the top of the mountain. – Samantha
