tales of the Bermuda Triangle
For decades, tales of the Bermuda Triangle—a region roughly bounded by Florida, Bermuda, and the Greater Antilles—have fueled stories of supernatural forces swallowing ships and planes. More than 50 vessels and 20 aircraft have vanished there in the past century, sparking theories about sea monsters, alien abductions, and the lost city of Atlantis. While these ideas excite the imagination, they ignore the area’s known environmental dangers. The Triangle is host to some of the deepest oceanic trenches on Earth and is subject to the violent, fast-moving currents of the Gulf Stream. It is also a corridor for frequent, powerful hurricanes. Many researchers argue that these natural phenomena, rather than paranormal forces, are the true culprits behind the region’s infamous reputation.
