Strange Events at Vermont

Since 1945, Taylor says that there have been multiple disappearances from Long Trail at Green Mountains in the Vermont area. He points out that what makes the disappearances from this area even more eerie, is the small size of the state.  No one should be missing from Vermont. Furthermore, he says that people who shouldn’t have gone missing from this area, such as tour guides, have gone missing.  What could possible cause the disappearance of people who know every nook and cranny of the Long Trail? As you see below, all the victims were Vermont natives. 

An older man who worked as a hunting and fishing guide, was the first person to have been reported missing from this trail. He was leading a group of hunters, when he turned a corner, and was never seen again. Despite a massive search which began with the hunters then extended to the state police, the National Guard, the Boy Scouts, and local residents, the guide was never seen or heard of again.

Just a year later, a beautiful young woman who was brimming with promise, vanished along that same trail. She was a college student at the local Bennington College, which is not far from the Long Trail.  She must have been either an ambitious athlete, or upset about something, because it was a very cold December day in 1946 when she decided to hike up the Long Trail. Her wealthy parents were prominent members of Vermont, so they were able to spend a lot of money on an investigation. However, their efforts produced just as much evidence as was produced with the hunting guide’s investigation. That is, none at all.

No one knows why any of these people have disappeared on the Long Trail. What type of motive would someone have to kidnap these people, if they were kidnapped?  And who kidnapped them? Big foot? Taylor feels a serial killer could be responsible. However, he also points out that no evidence has been found to corroborate that theory, or any theory for that matter. You will be pleased to know, that you can hike up the Long Trail now, without disappearing.
