In this week’s episode we return to Bennington, Vermont, where between 1945–1950, four people vanished without trace in an area dubbed the Bennington Triangle, so called, because of the many strange and weird occurrences said to have taken place there.

In 1946, 18-year-old Paula Jean Weldon became the second of those four people to disappear, in a case one investigator described as the most baffling he ever came across.

In September 1934, amidst wide political unrest, something was stirring in the home of the Palazon family in Zaragoza, Spain.

What started as a strange burst of maniacal laughter, soon transformed into the terrifying haunting known the world over as ‘El Duende de Zaragoza’… ‘The Goblin of Zaragoza’.

Some say the MV Joyita was always cursed, others laughed it off. What is beyond dispute, is that on one hot day in October 1955 the ship and its 25 passengers and crew set sail on a routine journey from Samoa to the Tokelau islands.
