The Bennington Triangle And The Man-Eating Stone Of Glastonbury Mountain

Mysterious Universe

There’s been a lot of focus lately, on weird happenings in faraway lands.  The middle-east, Russia, Asia, even Australia, which from a Can-Am-centric perspective (I’m Canadian) might provide an expanded view of our world, but there are plenty of weird things to look at right here in North America.  And today I bring a story from what is arguably one of North America’s most beautiful destinations: New England.

Known for high society, fine-dining, world class skiing, and mysterious disappearances, Vermont, one of the six US states that make up the New England region, has been the focus of some of the better minds in anomalous or Fortean research over the years.  One place in particular has gotten more than its fair share of attention: Glastonbury Mountain, also known as Green Mountain or the Green Mountain Range, is home to some very strange goings on, and has inspired some of the wildest theories you’ve ever heard.

The entire area of New England has been the primary focus of renowned author and Fortean researcher Joseph A. Citro.  Humorously dubbed the Bard of the Bizarre by the Boston Globe, Citro has written extensively on the weird happenings, disappearances and other phenomena of New England, and especially Vermont.  He is the originator of the somewhat little known Bennington Triangle theory, which is, as may seem obvious, a play on the Bermuda Triangle, and is his attempt to document and explain the disappearance of some five different people under mysterious circumstances since 1945, all on Glastonbury Mountain.

Citro notes, in his premiere novel Shadow Child (1987), which deals extensively with the mysteries of Glastonbury Mountain, that the area of what is now called Green Mountain has long been known, through Native American culture, as a strange and dangerous place that is to be avoided at all costs.  Citro’s apparent familiarity with the history and traditions of the Algonquin peoples, who inhabited the area as early as 8500 BCE, has given him unique insight into the special and dark nature of the mountain.
