Spoiler-Free Review: From the Beyond: High Strangeness in the Bennington Triangle (2026)

Official synopsis Since the mid twentieth century, a mysterious section of land in rural Vermont has been the home of untold strangeness.

Why do cattle mutilations still plague the American West? According to the new documentary On the Trail of UFOs: Night Visitors, the latest documentary from Small Town Monsters, the phenomenon which was popularized through references in shows like “The X-Files” and “Unsolved Mysteries”, continues to this day.
