The Bennington Triangle is Vermont's disappearance zone — the southwestern wilderness where five people vanished between 1945 and 1950, the documented cases making the region's name a byword for people who walk into the woods and don't come out. The file's documented spine is the disappearances' cluster: five people in five years in the same woods — Middie Rivers, Paula Welden, James Tedford, Paul Jepson, Frieda Langer — a record of the vanished that's the Triangle's real substance. THE VANISHED The lore is documented folklore — the Triangle's reports being the disappearances' residue: a region whose legend is its missing, the vanished being the only ghosts the woods need. The 1945-50 cases are the file's signature — five disappearances that were never solved, the Triangle's legend being the record of people the woods kept. WHY THIS FILE MATTERS The Bennington Triangle is the archive's disappearance file — five documented vanishings in five years, the region's legend being the real cases it holds. The documented missing are the record; the Triangle's name is the lore the woods earned. A wilderness that took five people keeps them — the file's suggestion being that the Triangle's vanished are still in the woods that never gave them back.
