    The Disappearance of Nancy Guthrie – What We Really Know So Far

    Some disappearances feel like folklore in real time — and Nancy Guthrie’s is one of them. Hello Spooky Kooks! This week, we’re breaking down the recent abduction of 84‑year‑old Nancy Guthrie. On January 31st 2026, Nancy spent the evening with her family — dinner, games, a completely ordinary night — before being dropped back home. But by the next morning, February 1st, everything had changed. Nancy was supposed to visit a friend to watch a virtual church service… but she never arrived. Her family were contacted, then 911 was called, and police carried out a welfare check at her home. Nancy wasn’t there — and chillingly, her security camera captured footage of a masked man. Wherever Nancy went, it wasn’t by choice. Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. Still no answers. Police have released only limited information, leaving the public to fill in the gaps — and online theories have spread like wildfire, blurring the line between fact and fiction. In this episode, we walk through the confirmed timeline from law enforcement before looking at the most common theories to see whether any of them hold weight. As this is an active and recent case, our thoughts are with Nancy’s family, friends, and community. We remain hopeful for her safe return, though statistically the outlook is difficult. Whatever the truth is, we hope her loved ones receive the answers they desperately need. If you enjoy our content, follow for more Spooky and Kooky episodes. Thanks for watching — and don’t forget to comment your thoughts on the case, plus your guesses for next week’s twisted tongues topic.

    EP 40: VANISHED IN THE BENNINGTON TRIANGLE - THE MYSTERY NO ONE CAN EXPLAIN

    HELLO SPOOKY KOOKSHere we are at Episode 40, can you believe it? Neither can we! — forty deep dives into the strange, the eerie, and the unexplained. Wild, right? Yet here we are, heading straight into one of New England’s most unsettling mysteries: the Bennington Triangle.Tucked into the dense wilderness around Glastenbury Mountain, the Bennington Triangle is a place where the forest is older than the towns that surround it — a place where sound seems to fade too quickly, where the light thins beneath the trees, and where people have vanished without leaving so much as a footprint behind. It also sits along the Appalachian Trail, adding another layer of intrigue to a landscape already steeped in folklore and unease.Between 1945 and 1950, this quiet corner of Vermont became the centre of a baffling series of disappearances. First came Middie Rivers, an experienced woodsman who knew the terrain better than anyone. Then Paula Welden, a college student whose case sparked one of the largest searches in state history. James Tedford vanished next — a man who boarded a bus and simply never arrived at his destination. Paul Jepson, a young boy, disappeared while under the briefest supervision. And finally Frieda Langer, whose case remains the most perplexing of all.Each disappearance unfolded under circumstances that defied logic. No clear tracks. No reliable sightings. No evidence strong enough to point investigators in any direction. Just a growing sense that something in those woods was beyond ordinary explanation.In this episode, we break down each case, trace the timelines, and explore the theories — from the grounded to the uncanny. We look at the land itself, the legends that cling to it, and the unsettling patterns that have kept the Bennington Triangle one of America’s most enduring mysteries.Remember to comment your thoughts or theories below as we love to hear them all and please do give us a follow if you want to see more Spooky and Kooky content.
