Exploring a Vermont Ghost Town

[@alexisdetocqueville9964]

As a Vermont native you may or may not be aware that VT is a constitutional carry state - in fact it was THE original constitutional carry state. It's always a good idea to concealed or open carry while out in the woods, *especially* if camping in remote areas alone. I do a lot of solo hiking (including at night) here in NH and I never go without my pistol. No good reason not to, in my opinion.

[@thecharmcityredneck]

Same. Ans pref a chest holster if I’m in the woods.

[@the0ther0ne]

You’re literally more likely to die driving to a trailhead than getting attacked in the woods. I’ve spent dozens of nights in the backcountry in VT and NH and never had an issue. The vast majority of long distance hikers would agree that it is not worth the weight to carry, and personally unless you are the type of person to train several time a week, you are likely putting yourself into more danger by carrying a weapon you can’t use effectively.

[@alexisdetocqueville9964]

@@the0ther0ne You've driven thousands of times and never died in a car crash, but you still wear a seat belt. A lot wrong with your logic. Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. I hope you never have to learn that the hard way. Do what you want, but don't try and discourage others from being responsible for their self-defense and exercising their 2A rights.

[@Jack-O-Spades]

@@the0ther0ne 1) You used "literally" in the wrong context. Lame. 2) So because you've never had an issue out in nature means no one else ever will, ever again? Getting lamer. 3) Several times a week? Brother have you shot a gun before? It's not rocket appliances. Super lame. 4) Selling the notion that people should trade safety for a little extra comfort is kinda socially dangerous, eh? Ultra mega lame. Your sauce is weak.

[@TheDanielscarroll]

Y'all are paranoid as hell ...😂 Go take a self-defense class or something. Many, many people hike in the woods by themselves and very very few run across anything dangerous other than their own stupidity. You're just letting your imagination run wild.

[@h.c.desmarais]

Hey man, as someone who backpacks super frequently in New England I can guarantee that sound you heard was a spruce grouse taking flight. It's a freaky sound but I would describe it exactly the way that you did. They do that to distract predators away from their young. Loved the video!!!

[@As8bakwTheSage]

Fellow Vermonter here and someone who is Abenaki! Really cool to see you exploring the area and talking about our legends at least partially. I'd actually like to go down sometime myself as I'm writing a horror story set in Vermont in a spooky town. But yeah, glad you made it out! ;)

[@Snowwarrior]

Love the Abenaki tribe! I went to college at Johnson state and did native Americans study's with an Abenaki professor. My final was to make a traditional bow from scratch. Took me two years to pass his class. My second year a met a Ethnobotanist from Connecticut College who's a master bow smith. He makes bows for the Mohegan tribe. I cut down a perfect hickory tree by ax. We apparently made the largest and most powerful recreation of a Sudbury bow and it got famous. People flew from Europe to get measurements. He wanted to keep the bow for you tribe and to display it. I had to decline it. Felt really bad. So I apologize to your tribe.

[@vermontmom4232]

haha that's definitely what I was going for, thanks for tuning in

[@chumbucketjones9761]

Hiked and camped up there many times and never heard or saw anything unatural. I would like the superstition to persists, though, as the camping areas out there along the Deerfield river get very crowded in the summer and quite polluted with trash. Hopefully fear of ghosts or whatever will keep some of the glampers away.

[@MrKblanchard]

Pro advice, Tighten up your ruck straps, it will raise up the weight on your back and make it feel lighter. When we wild ruck, I would bend over, almost to 90 degrees, and tighten the straps as right as I could. Source: infantry for 8 years

[@vafreozorn6036]

It works. I actually did it by accident and it helped a lot

[@gabemedina2275]

Hiked thru this area twice during my 2 thru hikes of the long trail. Didn’t even realize this “triangle” existed. It is an extremely beautiful area of forest!

[@ClareAndAlec]

Having spent quite a bit of time hiking and camping in the Glastonbury Wilderness, the scariest part to watch was each time you lit your stove. Hopefully, you've figured it out by now, but just in case: First, open the fuel valve and let the liquid fuel fill the primer ring. Second, *turn the fuel valve into the fully closed position* Third, light the liquid fuel in the primer ring and watch it burn almost all the way down but not quite Fourth, turn the fuel valve back into an open position - if you time it just right, your priming flame will act as a pilot light. If not, just light it while it is still primed (before it cools back down). It's much less sketchy since you're only lighting liquid fuel or gaseous fuel, not both at once. I hope that helps! Good luck!

[@devondutchmaster]

The thing people don’t remeber about this place is that. It’s an old town so a lot of the wells were underground. Obviously they have rotted away now but I personally know people who have almost died falling into them. Could explain some of the disappearances

[@StickEBallz]

interesting how there's also a Glastonbury in England known for being a mystical, mysterious place with a hill / mountain (Glastonbury Tor) as it's central focal point 🤔

[@-jupiter-2094]

Vermonter here..I live in Townshend which is about an hour away from Bennington. I've encountered quite a few things as well, and my rule of thumb is just never go into the woods after the sun sets. Can't tell you how many times ive heard my name being called, seeing dark figures in the woods, or just the eery feeling of something watching you.

[@matttcameron_]

great video man. Youre so good at storytelling in your videos

[@LegacyProduction2013]

15:25 as soon as you bend down to the left of you and right to the big tree on left hand side a "shadow" seems to appear then blast away it definitely looks transparent but has a thickness about it. It can be a camera artifact or something but the fact its roughly 3ft or so and behaves oddly I figured to mention it bud.

I mentioned the covered bridge on my comment since that few miles from me haha. Grew swimming there years. Don’t personal feel it haunted mysef and have been there at night before myself to see if get the encounters some say, but nada for me. Sadly the river not as beautiful as it used to be since hurricane irene and Katrina, Irene took the whole bridge up with that storm and the people who lived across there were stranded for days. Got a whole new bridge now it looks good, but the river so eroded and washed out from weather over the past decade it looks bad :(.

You should come down and do Dudleytown in Cornwall, CT. Similar things going on/similar totally abandoned ghost town, an old settlement that was supposedly cursed and every citizen went insane, was killed, murder, killed themselves, just up and left from the terror. Not a single noise is made up in there. No animals, NOTHING. Now it’s owned by this super sketchy organization that’s VERY keen on covering up and keeping under wraps what goes on up in there. But look it up, we’ve been going since we were kids, I’ve got some absolutely MESSED UP stories. If you like this stuff, you’ll love it. Just be careful brother. Great vid! (Also, Ed and Loraine Warren call Dudleytown “One of the most intense Portals to Hell on the entire planet”. Hit me up if you want any of my first hand accounts) Cheers my brother

[@colgategilbert8067]

Because of New England's population pressures in the mid 1800's, any marginally cultivatable lands were settled and farmed. Areas that were logging towns were usually rugged, stony or very swampy, hindering subsistence farming, leaving them used for other economic activities. Stony, rugged, swampy terrain with NE capricious weather can easily lead to accident, broken bones and death due to exposure. Animals can scavenge your corpse, leaving little to be found. Spooky legends are fun, but doubtful. I should add that the feature he camped next to was the remains of a cabin. The metal was probably part of a stove. It may have been part of the forestry service or a wood cutters cabin.

[@bobquack1]

What was the green liquid you poured into the pot?

[@dancarusone]

That part of vermont, as well as Northern Massachusetts and Eastern New York state, all have black bear and are occasionally visited by large cats. I'm thinking let the noise he heard on the way out might well have been a bear.

Heyyy I live in Rutland county area. There’s lots little “haunted.” Things around here. There a covered bridge where someone took there own life yeeeeaaaarrrrrrrs ago and ppl say you’ll see little ghost images at night sometimes randomly, nothing big but interesting little haunt some people just check out, two more bit more personal in a way would be College of saint joseph in rutland, it was alctually me and my dorm mates dorm haha, we had to sign a thingy giving permission for this ghost hunter to investigate it and do a little tour with the students, he deemed it not haunted and we told him we didn’t even know it was our room that was or such haha, guess former graduates would claim to hear scratching on the walls, and ppl in neighboring dorms would hear a girl shreik at random, but nothing for us. Guess it was the room of female student that had bad mental health and got to a point locked herself in the room and slowly went mad before taking herself. But the college closed after I graduated so idk how accessible it is…… and another one I know first hand sorta is killington mountain resort since I work there, some co workers claim some the lodges haunted, I’ll agree to an extent cause our lodge I work I’ll just get that feeling someone is there and see weird things in corner my eyes in there on days we closed and such. But bear mountain is the most notable to be haunted for some reason with even a few locals with season passes refusing to ski or board toward that side cause it feels off, if it is haunted I’d wager it’s the people that died hiking, skiing and boarding and such over the years, if ghost were real I’d wager ghost would roam the resort.

[@messengerguardiansparanorm8606]

Something being "undocumented" is one thing. However, that does not make some of it "ghostly nonsense", as such a notion shuts off the possibility that more things are happening than what we might be able to wrap our heads around. Perhaps there's a helluva lot more attached to the so-called "natural world" than we ever could have imagined, and were ever dared to be taught. This is the whole point of my PhD surrounding this very subject. I'm uneasy because I live in Montpelier, and have yet to gather a team to investigate. This may change my mind, "ghostly nonsense" notwithstanding. What is or isn't "nonsense" or "belief" will have to wait on the merit of experience. Reality, as it really is, probably doesn't need our belief for it to exist, only for us to actually 'see' it. One way or the other, such realities may very well exist, and we've barely figured out how to navigate them. Not knowing may get us physically 'un-alived', upon other things---perhaps only lost and feeling weird. Who knows what really happens after that.

Fire gives your position away.

[@janiferjane1495]

not necessarily, depends on the type of fire you make and why you’re spending the night in the woods in the first place. If i was trying to be evasive or trying to hide, i would opt for a Dakota fire hole/pit. For general camping, fire can help deter insects/ animals and i dont feel comfortable at night in the woods without a light. Thats why i said I would’ve slept in the fire lookout tower…
