#41 The Bennington Triangle: Where the Land Doesn’t Give You Back (feat. Weirder After Dark)

This week on Paranormal Directive 13, we’re joined by Sean, Chris, and Cathy from Weirder After Dark for a deep, no-hand-holding walk into one of New England’s most infamous mystery zones: the Bennington Triangle.The Bennington Triangle didn’t exist until 1992.The disappearances did.Between 1945 and 1950, five people vanished in the mountains of southwestern Vermont hunters, hikers, a college student, a child.... leaving behind no clear answers. Decades later, folklorist Joseph A. Citro gave those tragedies a name, and a legend was born.In this crossover episode with Weirder After Dark, we revisit the Famous Five through original sources, examine the stories that didn’t make the list, and trace the much older history of a landscape the Abenaki warned was not meant for the living. From the man-eating stone and vanished stagecoach travelers to crushed bodies, missing towns, magnetic anomalies, and modern survivor accounts, we ask a harder question:Does it matter if the Bennington Triangle was invented if the fear, the loss, and the danger are still real?This isn’t a debunking.It’s not a verdict.It’s a conversation one that sits with the folklore, challenges the mythology, and lets the land speak for itself.Patreonpatreon.com/ParanormalDirective13Tiktoktiktok.com/paranormaldirective13Instagraminstagram.com/paranormaldirective13Youtubeyoutube.com/paranormaldirective13Music: www.purple-planet.com Hosted on Acast.
