The Shadow Over Bennington: The Bennington Triangle

Between 1945 and 1950, a series of mysterious disappearances in southwestern Vermont helped create the legend now known as the Bennington Triangle. Centered around Glastenbury Mountain and the surrounding wilderness, the area has become associated with missing people, strange stories, and decades of speculation.

In this episode of The House of Strange, we explore the disappearances connected to the Bennington Triangle, including experienced guide Middie Rivers, college student Paula Welden, and James Tedford, who seemingly vanished while traveling by bus. We examine what is known about the cases, the rugged landscape surrounding Glastenbury, and how separate mysteries became woven together into one enduring Vermont legend.

From unsolved disappearances and local folklore to the later creation of the Bennington Triangle itself, we explore what happens when a place becomes as mysterious as the people who vanished within it.
