People working at or visiting St. Alban’s Welden Movie Theater (which used to be a jail during the past century) have experienced several strange and unexplained encounters. Occasionally, the projection booths have been a spot of unusual activity. Movies have started by themselves and voices can be heard in the old booths. The basement, which still has the remains of old jail cells, gives one the feeling of being watched. An old man with a white sweater has been seen walking around the basement. He is supposedly an elderly homeless man who years ago moved into the basement and took up residence there. Apparently he passed way but has never left the building. The basement door also has been known to fly open even when latched.

Vermonter.com was started back in the mid 1990's as a Vermont resource guide. Since then it has evolved into more of a quirky historical and unusual chronicle of off beat Vermont folklore, myths and legends. It's easy to create a Vermont resource but damn hard to corral all the "good stuff" in one place. But hey, I'm having fun! This website is best enjoyed on a dark, rainy day with a cup of coffee and a loyal dog (or cat) asleep at your feet. So enjoy and have fun. "There be WEIRD stuff here!" Comment below, if you dare!
