Nestled in the picturesque Green Mountains of Vermont lurks a chilling mystery: the Bennington Triangle.  This week’s episode dives headfirst into the vortex of unexplained disappearances that have plagued the area for decades.

We'll explore the stories of those who vanished without a trace, from hikers and hunters to a young boy on a family outing.  We'll delve into the whispers of paranormal forces at play, from shadowy figures to strange lights in the woods.  But we won't stop there.  We'll also investigate the more grounded explanations, like the treacherous terrain, harsh weather conditions, and even the possibility of foul play.

Join us as we separate fact from fiction, explore the chilling legends, and grapple with the unanswered questions surrounding the Bennington Triangle.  Is it a haven for the unexplained, or is there a more earthly reason for these disappearances?  Tune in and decide for yourself.
