Ready For Another Monday Mystery...?

You might like this Monday's mystery as it is from the great state of Vermont!

We don't visit this area very much, but just maybe we should! Seems to have been some strange things going on from time to time in certain areas!

 The Bennington Triangle

  
Between 1920 and 1950, Bennington, Vermont was the site of several completely unexplained disappearances:

On December 1, 1949, Mr. Tetford vanished from a crowded bus. Tetford was on his way home to Bennington from a trip to St. Albans, Vermont. Tetford, an ex-soldier who lived in the Soldier’s Home in Bennington, was sitting on the bus with 14 other passengers. They all testified to seeing him there, sleeping in his seat. When the bus reached its destination, however, Tetford was gone, although his belongings were still on the luggage rack and a bus timetable lay open on his empty seat. Tetford has never returned or been found.

 

On December 1, 1946, an 18-year-old student named Paula Welden vanished while taking a walk. Welden was walking along the Long Trail into Glastenbury Mountain. She was seen by a middle-aged couple that was strolling about 100 yards behind her. They lost sight of her when she followed the trail around a rocky outcropping, but when they rounded the outcropping themselves, she was nowhere to be seen. Welden has not been seen nor heard from since.

 

In mid-October, 1950, 8-year old Paul Jepson disappeared from a farm. Paul’s mother, who earned a living as an animal caretaker, left her small son happily playing near a pig sty while she tended to the animals. A short time later, she returned to find him missing. An extensive search of the area proved fruitless.

 

Maybe some of our friends that live in the Vermont area can tell us a bit more about this. In any case, I don't think I'll be visiting there anytime soon, and even if I did...I wouldn't take the bus. No need in taking chances, ya know?

 

Better have our coffee in the kitchen this morning.  The rain may be coming again, and I don't want the sugar cookies to get wet!
