- The site of a ghost town which was lost at the turn of the century, mysterious Glastenbury Mountain is located just outside of Bennington, Vermont. The vast wilderness is host to many legends, among them tales of a "man-eating" rock and several Bigfoot sightings. The area is also the location of several unexplained disappearances over the years, one of which lead directly to the formation of the Vermont State Police. Legend Hunter Jeff Belanger explored the ruins of the lost ghost town Fayville to find out more...

I've lived in Vermont since I was 17 yrs old.. I'd never heard of Bigfoot nor seen anything like it in my life.. I've seen black bears stand on their hind feet take a few steps but always returning to their 4 legged walk.. I married my husband in 1967 & had 3 children from 1970 to 1972.. there are only two lane roads in the state except for the interstate I89 which goes from I91 in Mass into I89 and winds its way clear to Canada.. we lived in Windsor VT centered next to the Connecticut River nestled against Mt Ascutney.. it's a truly beautiful place to live.. the people are friendly even with their New England quirks.. it's a place you'd bring up your children, let them walk to & from school.. never had to lock your cars or house's.. for everyone knew everybody for generations.. but one year changed my life forever. You see my husband was a hunter.. we drove to Richford VT to his cousins house & he & his cousin would hunt buck or doe for the two weeks we stayed there.. he knew every track an animal would leave & enjoyed the sport.. so on that fateful afternoon coming back from Reading VT it was a typical day maybe 80° nice breeze.. we were talking when I approached a long swinging corner.. I had slowed a bit but when I'd reached the straight there was an animal in the center of the road.. I came to a stop just yards from it we both thought it was a bear as it was hunched over with it's back to us.. I honked the horn a couple of times but to no avail the creature continued doing it's thing.. until it started standing up & up & up.. it had to have been 9 foot tall.. maybe 800lbs my husband said.. reddish brown shaggy fur.. then it turned around.. neither of us could speak as it eyed us it was very apparent that whatever it was, was intelligent.. it was a male but the largest animal I'd ever seen close up & my husband was as shocked as I was at the sight of the thing..(not being disrespectful) it eyed us for maybe a minute or two looking directly into each of our eyes.. then turned took a step towards the side of the road and one step it was on the grass another step it was going into what the hunters called pucker brush because it had thorns two inches long or better & it made you pucker for the pain it inflicted.. then the animal was just gone.. we sat there, I don't even know how long afterwards but a car came up behind us & I had to start moving.. we didn't speak of it until the next day we were trying to wrap our minds around what we had witnessed.. years later I came across a book by Ivan Sanderson about a large humanoid animal named Sasquatch or Yeti or Bigfoot.. that's when I realized what we had seen.. I rushed home to show my husband what I had found & from then on we watched the sides of the roads and looked in fields.. but never saw the creature or others again.. I'm truly thankful for what we saw that day as it made me realize that there is more to this world than we could ever imagine.. we never told anyone about our encounter till years later feeling like no one would believe us anyway..
**NO CAMERA.**?!
My father is from Windsor, Vt. My Aunt's house was third from the covered bridge. Still have relatives there....
@@vtoriatorres_ma1668 my brother-in-law & sister-in-law lived on Bridge St.. my in-laws lived in the blue house just before the train tracks headed west.. why don't I know who you are?
Thank you for sharing.
I need some of that same medicine you take!!
Being from New England, Ma. I spent a lot of time in the N,E. Woods. I was building a retirement home along the Connecticut River, in Lunenberg, Vt. I wound up in Fl. at age 70. I recall hunting with a friend in Beartown State Forest, Ma. 20 years ago. We picked up the ads and of the Appalachian trail, we came soon a rise in the land, the remnants of a foundation and a root cellar, at my feet were three small grave stones. All the same family, all from 1720 I believe. A Father in his early 30s a Mother in her late 20s and a child around 8 yrs old. I don't know how the died, but they were all together for eternity. It brought home how easy we have it today, me and my friend hunted all day, came home EMPTY ! We went back to my trailer, nuked a frozen entry and watched videos of movies in my heated mobile home. How tough was it for these brave intrepid forebearers of OURS ? For a brief moment,we connected ! I love takes of New England !
Kevin Barry there’s even strange sightings southeastern mass where I live
there are five family member buried here in Ossipee N.H., all died the same day. My guess is it was a house fire.
Death was afrequent visitor to past generations. We have grown soft.
Hiking the LT in the 90’s, we got to the shelter early, I went off exploring down a side trail. I was probably a half mile away from the shelter. I started having an overwhelming feeling that I was being watched, I heard what can be best described as metal clinking. I remember I ran back as fast as I could. To this day I don’t think I ever felt so uncomfortable. Coming across this stuff years later and realizing that it’s the same mountain with all these stories is pretty wild.
It is eerie in the woods. One summer I worked and lived at a small golf course at Cloudcroft, New Mexico. My place was at the edge of the village and driving to my tiny condo at night and getting out my car was frightening. I would go to hike during the day, yet I always sensed I was not alone. It was strange, bruh.
Please always be careful when in the woods and be careful not to fall in old abandoned Wells sometimes poorly covered over , especially when you're around old house sites.
That’s a fear of mine and I bet that has happened
People need to get an Apple Tag and stick it on themselves then they can never go missing.
@@traceycook7136 it's happens a lot. not as much now but almost happened to me twice.
Yup had a kid go down one while hunting near my grandpa's Wasn't found until like day 3.
Right & glad it's been awhile since a child's fell into one.
Imo they need to find,look for them & secure them.
✌
There is a giant forested triangle that stretches from Canada and stretches from PA to NH where many people go missing without a trace and big concentrations in Adirondacks and green mountains
That area is a designated "forbidden zone" for Native Americans. Probably for good reason.
I live near the area and never heard a native say that.
Maybe its really like the movie Predator.
Jackie Bayliss This an actual fact in one ladies story told by David Paulides
@louiseleu do you mean like westerners who conceived and developed atomic and nuclear bombs? to mass murder, that kind of rational mind??
Searean Moon what a retarded statement, you must be a cool aid haired lefty. This is why you still live with your parents
Strange how.they named it the same name as Glastonbury in England where it is said to have strange energies, and stone circle?
Nikki Baxter that’s why it’s named the same. Most of the east coast of America is named after British places. Not very inventive but shows the history of explorers and the damage they did
@@joshuatebbutt460 most of the east coast is actually named after American Heroes and also Indian tribes
At the point where the man walks over to the piles of rocks and says about remnants of buildings there is a clear view of what is called "leaners", which is when sasquatch or bigfoot lean trees or branches against other trees a bit like a wigwam or tepee. Obvious to the left of shot.
how do you know this...is there video documentation of a bigfoot or two actually in the process of leaning them?
Wow great vid! I lived in Bennington for a little over a year and had no idea this was happening.
So I belong to a search and rescue and have SAR k9. Did not know the area we were searching was in this area. We had a lot of weird thing happen that night. I fell 20 plus feet down a very steep slop unharmed, but there were no marks or stains on my gear showing I had slid at all. 2 other people on my crew watched this happen and was sure I got hurt. But nothing, I was perfectly fine. Walking out of the area it felt like a heavy whiegh was on my shoulders. And swear I seen a dark object next to me but when I aimed my light there was a white birch tree. Also had a very tangent like wet animal kinda rotten smell. When we got back home found out we were in the Bennington triangle very close to the missing hiker that went missing. All in all we talked on our way home and all agreed we will never search there at night ever again.
Ehh..I just slept on that mountain this past September when I was thru hiking the Long Trail....only heard an owl the whole night...lol quite peaceful to me 🤷 lol
@@krisaponte3733Were you alone??
ha! Nice touch there, ~ @6:45 . . . like that red jacket o' yours. ; ]
We absolutely have Sasquatch everywhere in the USA, they move in and out of the big cities and people have no idea for the most part. My nephew had one take his basketball and throw it far into the woods then followed him to the ball and when my nephew heard the steps he ran home and never went back to play basketball on the edge of the woods. He said he shot the ball and it missed, it was a long shot a 3 and when he got to where the ball should have been it wasn’t there and he looked up it was like 150 feet up the path. He said it would have taken him three tosses to make it to That spot and on The way he heard footsteps mirroring his so he stopped and it took one extra step and he heard it very loudly and ran home and told me. This is on the corner of Riverview and D avenue in parchment Michigan this is 2 miles from being in downtown city.
Excellent and there is more 🎆🎆🎆🎇🎇🎇
The Bennington Triangle is a place where all kinds of weird things happen. This is but one tale of many.
Things must be tough in Vermont when there are reports of a man eating rocks..certainly there has to be someone with food they can give him..ya know, like a sandwich....!!!
It was most likely a dog man, lots of them most likely live in the forested areas of New England.
1 is humping your wifes leg right now...lol
"A man-eating rock?" Call David Paulides. He talks often about boulder fields.
Paulides is right about many things
@@highplainsdrifter5367 And that's the interesting thing isn't it? He's right about everything because he is only reporting the facts. Frightening facts.
The moving living boulders in different places are related to these. They are all alive actually but on a different timescale than us.
@Beth McPoland See my petri dish Earth vids to know WHAT rocks are.
@@chrisw5742 yeah...where to see such a vid?
Ooh Spooky!
This might sound crazy but do you guys over there have lightning bugs just because of the flickering Steve that you saw
missing 411: don't go in the woods alone, don't wear bright colors, always carry a firearm, cell phone and gps device.
Thanks mom. Lol
I stopped swinging so high too.
oh, sad to hear that they never found the woman because they launched a MANHUNT! what were they thinking?

Hahaha ha 🤔🤭😲ha !!!
Man is our species.
From everything I"ve read I've come to realize that there are many creatures and objects (like rocks) that have intelligence in the forests. Ancient tales of little people and other creatures is absolutely true but I also think there is energies that makes people go into a parallel dimensions. Something like a crack in reality or convergence of energies causes people to disappear even though they haven't moved or walked off. David Paullides, on his new channel, read a letter about a man who came out of his house and expected to see his wife on the walkway where he had left her. He was only inside for a couple minutes so he went about doing whatever it was he was doing and went inside again. He came out again and she was standing where he had left her. According to her she hadn't moved at all but to him, she wasn't there. So what happened? Did she temporarily get displaced in space or did he? If so then how and why?..p.s. I like how in the video at 6:25 there's a sasquatch structure in the foreground. (or what looks like one)

Take some mushrooms and go out into the woods. You feel allllll that energy you’re talking about. You really get connected
Bruh I live in Pownal Vermont ?!… never taking my trash out at night again.
what he said was right--surprising that More people dont go missing.....
Great Place to Live"
There's a portal somewhere on that mountain, most paranormal researchers know about that, but I mean the few real scholars out there.
A portal to where?
What portal?
@@organenthusiast5803portal to his ass.
Ive hunted it sence the 70 s always had red on
Is this anywhere near the New Hampshire "stone hedge".
Yes.. can't remember just where it it is as it's been years and years but you may find it if you search Google for it..
When Nature is disturbed or destroyed, there are dire consequences. When will they ever learn?
Missing 411
Maybe you should have taken your hike on the anniversary of her disappearance, and maybe the mountain might have made an exchange. But you weren’t alone like she was, your photographer was with you!
I came here after hearing a UA-camr read scary true Reddit stories. A Woman had gone camping with her friend on a walk her friend disappeared. She ran into a little kid named Paul who said he was looking for his mom and when she got back to her campsite she saw a woman sitting in her chair who said her name was Paula. Apparently Paula started really freaking her out so she ran towards her car and when she looked behind her Paul wasn't there. To record it to the police and they didn't believe her but they said on a search for her friend but they never found her. She was also wearing a red jacket when she disappeared.
The guardian of the woods is out there weather you believe or not. Facts do not care about your opinions.
@@ChuckNorris-qg2et for those of us that have seen him, you are imbicilic.
Trolls are supposedly myth too but lo and behold....mr. Norris here is an excellent specimen.
You were not to go in the forest. Its been there's. Always there will be one to try and beat it.
👍
It's a great place for a burn cruise
?
@@brewcoffee0 to smoke weed
Just goes to show that those clever humans do not always get it right.
Bigfoot are on the Charles River in Massachusetts!
They're everywhere.
I was born and raised in Burlington Vermont and I absolutely believe in bigfoot aka wild man sasquatch Swamp ape booger what ever name you prefer I have seen and experienced alot of strange things in the Woodlands mountains and backcountry timberlands
Like what
Where the four winds meet. Supposedly native Americans wouldn't even go up on Glastonbury. Hiking through that area I could tell you one thing, it is dead silent. You do not hear birds or any other creatures whatsoever. It's very eerie and silent.
I just got back from my Long Trail thru hike and spent a night in my hammock on Glastenbury and all I kept hearing was an owl all night...lol...was actually very relaxing...you should go sometime
So weird how there is a new England over the other side of the world
[afterthought: i wonder how many British troops may have vanished during the Revolution...?]
Those RedCoats will give you away every time.
I dissapeared once. Once.
None of these cases are related.
Bigfoot.
Cree ewwww see
nuggets of truth, lol
I went to Bennington College. We liked to mess with the freshies by telling them stories of "Goat Boy". Who was he? Dunno, just goat boy, he lives in the woods. One of those "everybody knows but Noone knows specifics" kinds of things. No one took it seriously, it was mostly a joke. But the Bennington Triangle is weird, man, and that's the truth.
England Uk
man eating rocks ???
Classic 72 plus year old story of young woman as of my mother's generation and ilk, or a high standard of standardness,who goes missing with a concurrent story of a wild man or a 5th link, basic editorial dismissal to a campus mad man type "negalegend ', from Bennington or ft Bennington Vermont, as Vermont goes so goes the Nation PROGRESSIVES FOR SANDERS 2020 also,! Chris and Barb
Yeah, uhhh, I'm on Ep1 Spooky Berkshires. Boy, there seems to be a lot of fatness and funnylookingness in New Englander. (?) That first big fat dude with his long beard tight shorts and fanny pack about the old car accident. Eats good! 👍
As for the old cemetery? I think it's a crime, or should be, to desecrate or change a cemetery. That's sacred.
Very good short video except for the ridiculous spooky music inserted in that almost all video makers seem to think will enhance their presentation in some way. Just does the opposite. Makes it more immature and laughable. Then again, 95% + of the population are immature and laughable anyway.
New England, haha. This place already has a name and it's not england old or new.
what is the name my friend?
You know nothing about history and it SHOWS! 😂🤣
@@krisaponte3733 Truth hurts doesn't it.
This is a Bunch of Hog wash.
...a man eating rock might be hogwash...but there was still a certain amount of people who went missing in that area with no trace...hogwash or not... something was going on in that area way back then
I use to think that Bigfoot was real, then I grew up
