A series of unexplained disappearances occurred in the "demon triangle" Bennington, Vermont, USA from 1945 to 1950.
For a long time, the Bennington Triangle is regarded as a mysterious and dangerous place like the Devil's Triangle. The following are the cases of missing people in the Bennington Triangle area, and still cannot find and explain.
The case of missing people
The missing cases began to occur in the Bennington Triangle since 1945.
A local hunting instructor, 74 years old, named Middie Rivers led the group of 4 hunters around Hell Hollow area in the forest southwest of Glastenbury, suddenly disappeared.
After the initial unsuccessful search, many people still believe that he is an expert hunter, will survive returning to town. But unfortunately, he has lost no trace of it.
More than 300 local people and US troops were dispatched from Fort Devens, Massachusetts, to search for eight days without seeing Mr. Middie Rivers's clue.
The following year, the most famous missing person happened in Vermont history. The victim is Ms. Paula Welden , 18, a student at Bennington College.

Ms. Paula decided to walk a long way at Long Trail during Thanksgiving while most of her fellow students returned home to celebrate.
Paula was last seen on Sunday, December 1, 1946. She wears outstanding red clothes to Long Trail near Glastenbury Mountain. She did not go to class on the second day afterwards, making more than 1,000 mobilized people go to search and hang a $ 5,000 prize.
Although many planes went to search and law enforcement departments supported, there was no clue of Paula's clue.
Many people, including Paula's father, criticized the government's lack of appropriate measures in handling the case. The incident became a catalyst for the Vermont State Police establishment seven months later. Miss Paula's missing case remains open to the present day.
Three years after the disappearance of Paula Weldon, another disappearance occurred in the Bennington Triangle, which was seen as more mysterious and supernatural.
That day, Mr. James E. Tedford, 68, boarded a bus to Bennington after visiting relatives in St. Louis. Albans, Vermont state. Many witnesses, including the driver, confirmed that Mr. Tedford had sat in the car seat at the last stop before heading to Bennington.
However, when the bus arrived at Bennington, no one saw Mr. Tedford anymore. He seemed to have evaporated while the bus was moving, leaving his luggage and bus schedule on the car seat.
If the witnesses say it correctly, Mr. Tedford has disappeared from his seat when the bus is going down Highway 7 through the Bennington Triangle.
Highway 7.
Nearly a year later, in mid-October 1950, the young Paul Jepson, 8, was missing. People saw the last time he had fun playing with his family and then took his mother's truck to pick him up. The boy's parents worked as pig farmers. After that, the boy disappeared without leaving a trace.
In addition to hundreds of searchers, the New Hampshire sheriff brought a hunting dog with him to find the missing boy.
The dog recognized the boy's scent but abruptly lost sight at the nearby intersection, making the police speculate that a motorbike driver had kidnapped the boy.
The case lasted without a solution. Some people believe that Jepson is lost from his parents' eyes, being eaten by pigs.
But, in keeping with the mystery of Bennington's Triangle, the boy's father told the Albany Times Union that perhaps " the charm of the mountains" drew their son, because before disappearing, the boy often talks about mountains.
Only about two weeks later, Mrs. Frieda Langer, 53, an experienced and familiar mountain climber, disappeared in Somerset, Long Trail, bordering Glastenbury.
After walking a few kilometers short with her cousin Herbert Eisner, Langer fell into the stream and went to camp to change clothes.

Her husband is resting in a tent for knee pain. But both her husband and sister never saw her again.
The Connecticut Coast Guard and US Army helicopters in Massachusetts and local people's aircraft and Vermont Aviation Commission helped find Ms. Langer.
Up to 400 people, including the Massachusetts National Police, have been searching for the surrounding areas wholeheartedly but found nothing.
But later, Langer's body was found in the Bennington Triangle, making it no longer a mysterious disappearance. Six months after her disappearance, Ms. Langer's body was found near the Somerset reservoir.
However, even though the body was found, it was still unknown what happened to Mrs. Langer. Her body was decomposed so it was impossible to determine the cause of death, only to make people speculate and fear more.
Theories about
The unexplained mysteries and events related to the Bennington Triangle have led many people to speculate on negative things, The story becomes more thrilling with rumors about UFOs and in the region.
It is thought that the disappearance of people from 1945 to 1950 was caused by a serial killer. However, the lack of accurate evidence and the diversity of victims' age and gender (excluding the usual mass killers) also eliminates that hypothesis.
Others claim that the mysterious disappearance of the victims due to the claws of an indigenous mountain cat, called the fox.
However, lynx is inherently non-aggressive with humans and no longer sees them much before 1940, thus being considered extinct.
People tried to sequence disappearances together in the hope of finding an explanation for the mysteries. The only similarity between the missing cases is obviously happening in the Bennington Triangle. The last day of seeing victims is from 3 to 4 pm and time of year - most in the last three months of the year.
There is so little evidence that the hypotheses are ambiguous. For those who care about the occult, such hypotheses match other strange events that occur in the Bennington Triangle area.
It was rumored to have heard scary voices on television, seeing mysterious characters, unexplained risks and mysteriously crashed planes.
So it is not surprising that until today the Bennington Triangle still attracts curious people.
