later discovered Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.59,0:05:26.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,now there are many possible explanations behind the strange and mystifying disappearances of these people Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.61,0:05:30.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,perhaps those who have gone missing weren't really missing at all Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.91,0:05:33.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,maybe they ran off somewhere and never looked back Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.15,0:05:37.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,another extreme but not completely unlikely scenario is that Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.01,0:05:38.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a serial killer may have been running rampant in class berry during those years Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.28,0:05:41.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he or she was the one responsible for the disappearances Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.70,0:05:45.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but out of all the weird explanations Dialogue: 0,0:05:45.68,0:05:47.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,presented by people to explain what had happened all those years ago Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.65,0:05:50.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,perhaps the most outrageous of them is the one proposed by Joseph Citro Dialogue: 0,0:05:53.15,0:05:54.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in his book titled the Vermont monster guide Dialogue: 0,0:05:56.75,0:05:58.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Citro suggested the existence of an unknown but dangerous anomaly in the Glastonbury mountains Dialogue: 0,0:06:00.89,0:06:02.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which he referred to as the man-eating stone of Glastonbury mountain Dialogue: 0,0:06:05.06,0:06:06.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,according to Sarah the Native Americans Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.95,0:06:09.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,knew of his existence but avoided encountering the large rock entity at all cost Dialogue: 0,0:06:11.54,0:06:13.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the rock is supposedly large enough for a human being to step on Dialogue: 0,0:06:15.41,0:06:17.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and when someone steps on the rock Dialogue: 0,0:06:17.12,0:06:19.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the heavy storm becomes more malleable and ultimately swallows a human being whole Dialogue: 0,0:06:21.83,0:06:23.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so Citro entertained the likelihood that the five people who disappeared between 1945 and 1950 Dialogue: 0,0:06:26.60,0:06:28.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,could have accidentally stepped on one of these beast-like stones Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.80,0:06:32.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and ended up being devoured by these islands roll creatures Dialogue: 0,0:06:32.66,0:06:34.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,no of course we don't know for sure whether Benetton triangle is a real thing Dialogue: 0,0:06:36.80,0:06:39.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or that a man-eating stone really lurks somewhere in the woods Dialogue: 0,0:06:40.85,0:06:42.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I really hope that but at least for me you know Dialogue: 0,0:06:42.32,0:06:44.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what why take the risk you're going hiking in an area where you know Dialogue: 0,0:06:46.19,0:06:47.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like people mysteriously disappeared their bodies were never found Dialogue: 0,0:06:49.52,0:06:50.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,maybe go somewhere else go hiking Dialogue: 0,0:06:50.81,0:06:52.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I know maybe I watched one too many horror movies Dialogue: 0,0:06:52.22,0:06:53.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or one too many supernatural episodes Dialogue: 0,0:06:55.25,0:06:57.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but there all seems to be legends from from local natives Dialogue: 0,0:06:57.68,0:06:59.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that warned about a specific place Dialogue: 0,0:06:59.45,0:07:01.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we seem to just just completely dismissed Dialogue: 0,0:07:01.70,0:07:03.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but for me at least every single story Dialogue: 0,0:07:03.59,0:07:05.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,every single legend out there Dialogue: 0,0:07:05.03,0:07:07.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there's always some truth to them Dialogue: 0,0:07:07.10,0:07:08.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but if I was thinking about going to a place where the natives have said yeah Dialogue: 0,0:07:10.55,0:07:12.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this place is cursed there's monsters there is coming out not safe Dialogue:
