Season 07 Episode 21: Wild is the Wind

It's almost inconceivable that, with the advancement of technology and the normalisation of surveillance, someone could suddenly appear in a well-populated town with no trace of who they are or where they came from.

And yet, that’s exactly what happened in 2009, during one strange summer in a picturesque seaside town in the west of Ireland…

With unexplained on a short break for the holiday season we’ll be dipping back into the archive for one more week.

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.

With unexplained on a short break for the holiday season we’ll be dipping back into the archive for the next two weeks. 

On Friday January 23rd 1959, a story begins from out of the foothills of the Ural Mountains.  

A story that is perhaps the most extraordinary of all the stories ever featured on the show. 

Some call it the Dyatlov Pass Incident.
