The Yermuda Triangle is known to everyone who is interested in the strange and inexplicable phenomena taking place in our world.
But few people know that he has a relative a little further north, located in the southeastern part of Vermont, near Mount Glastenbury. This mysterious area is called the Bennington Triangle.
The history of this strange place begins long before the colonization of North America. The events that took place in this area have inspired many books and films, stories about UFOs, Bigfoot and a portal to other dimensions. The truth about the Bennington Triangle remains hidden, but more than forty researchers and local residents have already disappeared here.
In the book of folklorist Joseph A. Sitrow, Passing Strange: True Tales of New England Hauntings and Horrors, it is said that Indians refuse even to step on Mount Glustenbury and do so only for to bury the dead. They believe that the entire mountain is a cursed land, because the "four winds" meet here in eternal battle.
There is partly a scientific explanation for this. The wind rose on this mountain is very changeable. The weather changes dramatically, and even plants and trees here sometimes grow at odd angles. According to another Vermont Aboriginal myth, there is an enchanted stone at the top of the mountain that can completely absorb a person. It is believed that a person who stands on this stone to look at the surroundings from the highest point will suddenly find that the stone begins to absorb it. Nobody else will see this person.
In 1761, Benning Wentworth delineated the boundaries of the city of Glustenbury, never even having been where the city was supposed to be. The area has very poor soil and a short farming season, so the creation of the city and its survival here became a problem from the very beginning and continued until the 1800s. Technically, there were two cities on different slopes of the mountain, but they were never merged.
Glastenbury was built as a city of miners and lumberjacks. The workers were brought to sawmills and mines by railroad, which was fourteen kilometers long. Soon both the mine and the forests around the city dried up.
In 1894, a final attempt was made to revitalize the city, turning it into a tourist center. The city's buildings were turned into hotels and casinos. But the deforestation left its mark on the mountain. The soil was unprotected against erosion. In 1897, severe flooding destroyed most of the railroad to Glustenbury. There were no more attempts to revive the city. People began to leave him. By 1937, it had become virtually uninhabited. In 2010, eight people lived there.

Strange things have happened here since the 1800s. Mysterious lights were seen in the sky, sounds of unknown origin were heard, many people disappeared. All this later led to rumors of UFOs and portals to other dimensions.
The disappearances were also attributed to the Bennington monster. He is considered to be a kind of Bigfoot, Bigfoot. He was described as being 1.8 meters tall with thick hair all over his body. The monster was first seen in the early 19th century, when it attacked a wagon, turned it over and disappeared into the darkness with a roar and growl.
