Another strange missing persons case from the state of Vermont.  What is going on in this little world?  Paula Jean Welden was a sophomore at Bennington College where she decided she wanted to try to hike a portion of the Long Trail, a hiking trail that runs the length of the state.  Sadly, all of her friends were busy and she was forced to head out alone.  Though it was the beginning of December, Paula was not dressed appropriate for the hike and never returned to her dorm room. And no evidence of her has ever been found.  Did she get lost and die in the woods?  Did she secretly meet a boy and elope? Was the victim of a serial killer?  Or did she meet a much more unusual fate?  We explore a wide variety of theories in this week's episode.SHOW NOTEShttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paula_Jean_Weldenhttps://www.strangeoutdoors.com/mysterious-stories-blog/2019/12/12/the-strange-disappearance-of-paulajean-weldon-in-the-bennington-trianglehttp://tkrice.tripod.com/welden.htmlhttps://unsolvedvermont.com/2019/11/30/missing-paula-jean-welden/https://www.benningtonbanner.com/stories/after-60-years-students-fate-remains-a-legendary-mystery,260506https://www.newspapers.com/clip/8340826/paula-welden-1-year-post-disappearance/https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/vt-student-body-found-1946-disappeararance-article-1.2603927https://www.manchesterjournal.com/stories/dont-be-afraid,588470https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bennington_Trianglehttps://allthatsinteresting.com/bennington-trianglehttps://listverse.com/2019/03/12/10-creepy-mysteries-of-the-bennington-triangle/https://www.benningtonbanner.com/stories/lost-in-glastenbury,43274Smells Like HumansLike listening to funny friends discuss curious human behavior.Listen on: Apple Podcasts   SpotifySupport the show
