The Mysteries Of The Bennington Triangle...!

Nearly every mountain has some elements of mystery to it. They are beautiful to look at, but many are surrounded by myth and mystery. That's the case of Glastenbury Mountain in Vermont.

Native American Warnings

It’s stated in Joseph A. Citro’s 1996 book, Passing Strange: True Tales of New England Hauntings and Horrors, that Native Americans refused to set foot on Glastenbury Mountain unless they were burying their dead. They believed that the whole mountain was cursed land because the “four winds” met there in an eternal struggle. While most refer to this as a myth, there is some truth to it. The wind pattern on Glastenbury Mountain is so erratic that weather changes suddenly, and plants grow at odd angles.

Another myth attributed to the native people of Vermont is that they believed an enchanted stone among the cairns on top of the mountain could swallow a man whole. As reported by Davy Russell in X-Project Paranormal Magazine, a person would stand on the rock to survey the area from the highest point and find themselves suddenly swallowed whole. That person would never be heard from again.

Like I said, nearly every mountain has a bit of myth attached to it in some fashion, but that's probably why we are so fascinated by them. Beautiful, nonetheless!

Coffee out on the patio, where the temps are supposed to reach the 80s today!
