When Colleen Orsborn missed her bus on the morning of March 15, 1984 her mother Francis was understandably irritated at the 15 year old. Francis had just been getting over an illness and HAD to be on time for work that day. She left money on the table for Colleen and told her she would have to take the public bus to get to school. 

But, when Francis returned home later that day the bus money was still on the table- but Colleen was gone. 

Francis wasn't too concerned at first, after all her daughter had been known to skip classes. But when Colleen didn't return home Collen's family would realize that something was seriously wrong. 

Unfortunately, the story of what happened to Colleen Orsborn would remain a mystery until 27 years later.

In an area in southwestern Vermont strange sightings and sounds are heard in the beautiful, and yet extremely dense forest.

The Native Americans used to believe the land was cursed and would only venture there to bury their dead. 

After the town of Glastenbury became a ghost town in the later 1990s several strange sightings- including UFO and Bigfoot sightings would occur in the woods, which would come to be called the Bennington Triangle.

But, not only were strange things seen in this vast wilderness, it was also a place where people would go and never been seen again. 

 In today's story we take a closer look at those who disappeared in the Bennington Triangle.

Today's episode is an extra special one! We have not one but TWO stories for you today!

When Miche Solomon meets Cassidy Nurse the two are immediately taken aback by how similar they look to each other. Miche even feels an odd connection to Cassidy despite the fact that Cassidy is four years younger. When the two become friends they begin to hang out regularly- and they even take a selfie together. Little would Miche know that this selfie would change her life forever.

In today's second story Bobby Shafran is attending his first day of Community College and is shocked at the amount of people who excitedly greet him as he walks around campus. He finds it even more strange that they begin to tell him they are happy he is back, despite the fact he had never been there before. 

They also start calling him Eddy... 

The pieces of the story would soon come together when Bobby meets Michael- what Michael would tell him would be unbelievable, but the story would only get more and more crazy from there.
