![]() ![]() One of the most highly-anticipated graphic novels this year, Lucas Harari’s Swimming in Darkness uses the location of the real thermal baths in Vals, Switzerland, called Therme Vals and housed in a mysterious structure designed by the equally mysterious architect Peter Zumthor, to investigate these same ideas. The reason I bring this up is that these are the ingredients from which legends grow, and though the Bennington Triangle hasn’t ever exactly taken off in popular imagination, it’s been fascinating to be in its proximity and see it brought up now and again, each new iteration pushing it further and further into the realm of accepted paranormal reality, and more distant from the excitement of campfire legend-building. There’s also a stone cairn at the top of the mountain and no one knows where it came from. The real impetus for the epitaph is a few fairly high profile disappearances centered around Glastenbury Mountain, where there used to be a town called Glastenbury, but it is long gone, with only some scarce traces in the woods remaining. ![]() ![]() I wouldn’t say that it’s the center of numerous documented paranormal happenings, though it is one of those places where there are a lot of unofficial whisperings about more happening there than is actually spoken of. There is an area in Vermont close to where I live that has been referred to as the Bennington Triangle. ![]()
