## Resource

In the shadowy woods around Vermont’s Glastenbury Mountain, Paula Jean Welden is only one of several people who walked into the trees and never properly came back. In just five years, an experienced hunter vanished from a hunting party, a war veteran disappeared from a moving bus, an eight‑year‑old boy slipped away from his mother’s parked truck, and a hiker stepped off a trail to change her wet clothes, only to be found months later where searchers swore they’d already looked, feeding the legend of a forest that doesn’t just lose people, but erases them.
