ORR,
Your story about the disappearance of Paula Weldon reminded me of a 1999 
article written on the "Bennington Triangle" in the Rutland Herald.  The 
story, written by Dave Mance, was about the horror stories that have occurred 
on or near Glastenbury Mtn.  Here's a recap of what he wrote:

In the late 1800's a stagecoach was attacked on what is now Rte 9.  The 
occupants told a tale of a huge "Bigfoot" creature that overturned the coach 
then fled into the forest. In 1890 William Conroy killed a fellow coworker in 
nearby Fayville. He was sent to the asylum in Waterbury where he escaped and 
was never heard from again.  It was rumored that he made his way back to 
Glastenbury to hide on the mountain. It was rumored that he may have played a 
role in the mountain's future mysteries. 

In 1945, 74 yr old Middie Rivers, and experienced woodsman and hunter 
disappeared and was never seen again.  One year later, Paula Weldon 
disappeared on an afternoon hike on Glastenbury Mtn.  Four years after the 
Paula Weldon incident, 8 yr old Paul Jepson vanished without a trace.

Some theorize a serial killer, alien abduction or a Bigfoot attack. One 
photographer, Bruce Hallenback claims to have taken a picture of Bigfoot on 
the mountain.

The next time you hike the trail over Glastenbury keep your eyes and ears 
open...who knows what evil lurks in the shadows.............you might get a 
glimpse of Bigfoot.
