The Disappearance of Paula Jean Welden

Paula Jean Welden, 18, was a sophomore at Bennington College on December 1, 1946, the day she told her roommate, Elizabeth Parker, she was going for a long walk but failed to return. A search focused primarily on Vermont’s Long Trail (a 270-mile trail that cut through Vermont to the Canadian border), where local witnesses reported having seen her.

The trail yielded no clues, however, and soon, what the Bennington Banner refers to as “tantalizing and unquestionably strange leads” began to materialize. These include claims by a Massachusetts waitress that she’d served an agitated young woman matching Paula’s description. Upon learning of this particular lead, Paula’s father disappeared for 36 hours, supposedly in pursuit of the lead, but it was nevertheless a strange move that led to his becoming a prime suspect in Paula’s disappearance. Soon stories began circulating that Paula’s home life was not nearly as idyllic as her parents had told the police. Apparently, Paula had not returned home for Thanksgiving the week prior, and she may have been distraught about a disagreement with her father. For his part, Paula’s father posited a theory that Paula was distraught about a boy she liked and that perhaps the boy should have been a suspect.

Over the next decade, a local Bennington man twice bragged to friends that he knew where Paula’s body was buried. He was unable to lead the police to any body, however, let alone Paula’s, and with no evidence of a crime, no body, and no forensic clues, the case grew colder, and the theories grew stranger, including those linked to the paranormal. New England author and occult researcher Joseph Citro came up with the “Bennington Triangle” theory, which explained the disappearance as linked to a special “energy” that attracts outer space visitors, who would have taken Paula with them back to their world.

Book Review: A Conundrum...

Shirley — Susan Scarf Merrell Whilst working on my Murder By Mail series, I ran across a short story penned by Shirley Jackson called The Possibility of Evil. Which gives a fictional first-hand account of how the missives of a poison pen writer affect the community in which they live. A mere six pages, it takes no time at all to finish, and it’s one of the best short stories I’ve ever…

Enigmatic Bennington Triangle: A History of Mysterious Disappearances.

Starting with the vanishing of 74-year-old Middie Rivers in 1945, the area has witnessed a string of missing persons cases, including the infamous disappearance of 18-year-old Paula Welden in 1946, which remains unsolved to this day. A thorough search was done, but all they found was one rifle cartridge in a stream. They figured Rivers might have leaned over, causing the cartridge to slip out of his pocket into the water. Rivers knew the area well and was skilled in outdoor activities.

Adding to the enigma, 68-year-old James E. Tedford inexplicably vanished from a moving bus in broad daylight, leaving behind his luggage and an open timetable.

The disappearance of eight-year-old Paul Jepson in 1950 further deepened the mystery, with a bloodhound losing his scent at a nearby crossroads, hinting at a possible abduction.

Experienced hiker Frieda Langer's disappearance came 16 days after the disappearance of Jepson, and the subsequent discovery of her badly decomposed body near the Somerset Reservoir only added to the perplexing nature of these events.

There aren't any clear links found connecting these cases, aside from the fact that they occurred in the same area and around the same time. Despite extensive searches, the Bennington Triangle continues to yield more questions than answers, fueling speculation about paranormal forces, serial killers, or even large predators as possible explanations for the disappearances.

i go to a really small college in rural vermont and the area is surrounded by this conspiracy (i don't think thats the right word) called the bennington triangle, its basically this area where a bunch of people went missing in the 40s and 50s, but theres alot of local lore about it and people also like to throw in legends and myths from the native community in the area so its turned into this like creepy ghost story that we warn freshman about and hype up to seem like a big deal.

ANYWAY, my friend this morning sent me a link to a supernatural fanfic that is focused on the bennington triangle, like its a case for sam and dean taking place roughly in the timeline of season one, and tbh this could've been such a cool fic, but much to my friends dismay (after not properly reading the tags) they realized it was a slash fic 😂 and are now traumatized.

(update it’s apparently so badly written that they couldn’t finish it)

Soo for all fans of Secret History and Donna Tartt in general watch this it’s mindblowing! Just so you know college in TSH was inspired by Bennigton college which Donna Tartt attended. Ig if Bunny in TSH was never found it’d be attributed to this lmao (or it wasn’t a thing in Donna’s universe). Creepy af but intriguing af!!

* Dina is excluded since she couldn’t control her fate.

* Nina, Suzanne, and Joyce Dagen are excluded since they couldn’t control their fate. Cale is excluded since he had to rely on Bobby to survive.

* Jill Tuck’s “games” are excluded since the first was a nightmare and the second was just Hoffman being an asshole.

So. I’ve been thinking

The Bermuda Triangle, right? Causer of ghost ships and mass disappearances. Are we.. sure that it’s just the weather? Or is it an ontophage gone rogue, eating planes and ships and the crewmates of others? Some kind of mass haunting of dead congregated around a ship, taking out crewmates and sailing it back to shore?

And, why there specifically, why this one weird triangle and not- I don’t know- The middle of china? The airspace above Idaho? .. speaking of, the airspace above Idaho is an anomaly in and of itself. Nothing goes wrong there, and if it does, nobody talks about it.

Also, is it a good thing that I’m going with a few friends to get an up close inspection of the triangle? Tomorrow, to be exact. If you find a ghost ship with a 3 foot tall prop skeleton up front, that was probably me.

We know for sure it’s not just the weather. There’s a laundry list of stuff going on in the Bermuda Triangle and that’s part of the problem. Usually, any one phenomenon sort of claims jurisdiction in an area. Two unrelated types of Extranormal activity in an area is uncommon, three is rare, and four is almost unheard of. By our count there’s at least ten distinct types of activity in the Triangle and we don’t know why. Atlantis takes no responsibility, Jones won’t admit to it when cornered, we just don’t know.

There’s other triangles or places like that, of course. Bridgewater I’ve previously mentioned, and we’re still unsure about the Bennington Triangle.

I really, really don’t recommend playing with it. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred you’ll be fine, but that’s not odds I’m willing to play with given the losing bet.

If you absolutely need to and the worst happens, remember that if you see an uncrewed destroyer off in the distance, signal it with Morse in flashes, not radio. That’s the USS Eldridge. She’s ours, and she has a habit of showing up where she’s needed.

hey lol. i read your comment about cishet men on the bennnington tumblr post. i naturally felt curious which is why i'm writing to you here...how can you describe the dating experience for cishet women at bennington? any tips for navigating the dating scene at benn for a newbie who has never been in a relationship?

i wouldn’t really know how to answer the question about the dating experience for cishet women, as someone who a) doesn’t really have a lot of friends, let alone any in straight relationships, b) hasn’t been in a relationship there, and c) isn’t cishet. i don’t know if i’d have any tips other than generally trying not to be a curmudgeon like i am, go to parties or other social events to meet people and see who you vibe with? also i guess an actual piece of advice would be: bc so many people on campus are queer, sometimes your first impression of someone might not be accurate (as in: someone you assumed to be a cis guy might actually be genderqueer or nonbinary, or someone you assumed to be straight might actually not be into women). be prepared end up in some sort of weezer pink triangle situation at some point. steel yourself. it’s sort of already happened to me and isn’t fun.

anyway. good luck soldier. if you see me on campus tell me you like my shoelaces or whatever

When I went to Bennington, I thought the Bennington Triangle was just something seniors made up to scare freshmen! I only found out it was real after I'd graduated.

Apparently so!

(The Bennington Triangle being, dear readers, an area of southwestern Vermont known for mysterious disappearances. One of which inspired Shirley Jackson’s novel Hangsaman.)
