What’s the hype all about?
The Bermuda Triangle did not receive its name until 1964; however there were many accounts of abnormal happenings there for centuries prior to the name being established. It was even said that Christopher Columbus was tested by the waters strange and mysterious powers. It said in his sailing log that his compass went haywire and he and his crew could see weird lights in the sky. Some of the other accounts regarding the Bermuda Triangle are similar to the story of the Mary Celeste. The ship was found about 400 miles off the course it was on, the crew had all vanished and the mystery was never solved. When the five Navy bombers disappeared without a trace, as well as one of the rescue planes that went to search for them, is when the legend of the Bermuda Triangle really gained some validity. It was December 5th 1945, and there were six aircraft as well as 27 men, all gone. There have been about 200 incidents attributed to the Bermuda Triangle’s power and mystery. There have been bestselling books dedicated to the idea that what happens in the air and water near the Atlantic Ocean is not only real, but also an unsolved enigma. The explanations to counter the supernatural are just as plentiful and some even seem plausible.
