The Girl in the Red Coat - Part One

🩸 THE DEVIL WITHIN THE GIRL IN THE RED COAT EPISODE ONE: Into the Silent Woods (Chapters 1–3) In Episode One, we step into the cold, haunted shadow of Glastenbury Mountain—home to the legend of the Bennington Triangle and the mysterious, enduring disappearance of Paula Jean Welden, an 18-year-old Bennington College sophomore who walked onto the Long Trail one November afternoon in 1946… and was never seen again. Across three cinematic chapters, we explore: CHAPTER 1 — The Mountain That Remembers The strange history of Glastenbury Mountain, a place the Abenaki once warned was alive… a place where sound dies, compasses falter, and the forest seems to lean in and listen. Here we meet Paula: quiet, restless, radiant in her bright red parka—stepping onto the trail with no idea she is walking into a legend. CHAPTER 2 — The Search That Found Nothing The frantic multi-day search that drew hundreds into the freezing woods with lanterns, dogs, and fading hope. No footprints. No torn cloth. No trace. Even the red coat refused to be found. Searchers spoke of “silent pockets,” strange warmth in the air, radios that lagged by a heartbeat, and the creeping sense they were being watched by something old and patient. CHAPTER 3 — The Forest That Eats People Paula’s story is only one thread in a pattern of disappearances stretching across five years: a woodsman, a veteran, a child, a hiker. Five vanished. One mountain. Zero answers. As folklore and fact twist together, Glastenbury begins to look less like wilderness… and more like a presence that chooses who gets to walk back out.
