EP 40: VANISHED IN THE BENNINGTON TRIANGLE - THE MYSTERY NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN
from Spooky and Kooky · host Spooky and Kooky
HELLO SPOOKY KOOKSHere we are at Episode 40, can you believe it? Neither can we! — forty deep dives into the strange, the eerie, and the unexplained. Wild, right? Yet here we are, heading straight into one of New England’s most unsettling mysteries: the Bennington Triangle.Tucked into the dense wilderness around Glastenbury Mountain, the Bennington Triangle is a place where the forest is older than the towns that surround it — a place where sound seems to fade too quickly, where the light thins beneath the trees, and where people have vanished without leaving so much as a footprint behind. It also sits along the Appalachian Trail, adding another layer of intrigue to a landscape already steeped in folklore and unease.Between 1945 and 1950, this quiet corner of Vermont became the centre of a baffling series of disappearances. First came Middie Rivers, an experienced woodsman who knew the terrain better than anyone. Then Paula Welden, a college student whose case sparked one of the largest searches in state history. James Tedford vanished next — a man who boarded a bus and simply never arrived at his destination. Paul Jepson, a young boy, disappeared while under the briefest supervision. And finally Frieda Langer, whose case remains the most perplexing of all.Each disappearance unfolded under circumstances that defied logic. No clear tracks. No reliable sightings. No evidence strong enough to point investigators in any direction. Just a growing sense that something in those woods was beyond ordinary explanation.In this episode, we break down each case, trace the timelines, and explore the theories — from the grounded to the uncanny. We look at the land itself, the legends that cling to it, and the unsettling patterns that have kept the Bennington Triangle one of America’s most enduring mysteries.Remember to comment your thoughts or theories below as we love to hear them all and please do give us a follow if you want to see more Spooky and Kooky content.
