Official synopsis
Since the mid twentieth century, a mysterious section of land in rural Vermont has been the home of untold strangeness. Rumors of UFOs, ghosts, phantom lights and mysterious creatures can all be found there in abundance, while verified reports of odd disappearances – many still unsolved – cast a shadow over Glastenbury Mountain. From the Beyond: High Strangeness in the Bennington Triangle goes beyond the rumors and campfire stories, while daring to ask what may be the most frightening question of all – why is Glastenbury Mountain so inexplicable, and what happened to those who have gone missing?
Review
Filmmaker Seth Breedlove and his Small Town Monsters crew deliver another of their impressively researched documentaries on cryptozoology and high strangeness with From the Beyond: High Strangeness in the Bennington Triangle. Their usual focus on folklore and local color is on display as they examine the esoteric occurrences that have taken place over the decades in rural Vermont’s so-called Bennington Triangle, located on and around Glastenbury Mountain. These include a number of missing people and reports of a man-eating boulder, vortexes, mysterious lights, chilling sounds at night, missing time, ghosts, and sightings of a Bigfoot-related cryptid, to name but a few.
Narrator Mark Matzke does a super job of taking viewers down all the rabbit holes the film has to offer, with interviewees such as prolific author Joseph Citro and locals who have experienced odd and unusual occurrences themselves providing intriguing commentary.
If you are already a fan of Small Town Monsters’ documentaries, you know that you are in for a treat with From the Beyond: High Strangeness in the Bennington Triangle. If you are not familiar with the team’s output and are an aficionado of folklore, history, cryptozoology, and strange phenomena, this is an excellent place to start.
From the Beyond: High Strangeness in the Bennington Triangle launched on streaming platforms, including Apple TV, Prime Video and Google Play, on April 28, 2026. DVDs of the documentary will be available exclusively from the Small Town Monsters shop at https://www.smalltownmonsters.com/.
