The Bermuda Triangle has long been considered a classic supernatural mystery. The loosely defined Triangle is, as its name suggests, in the vicinity of Bermuda, though has a total area of somewhere between 1.3 – 3.9 million kilometers square and is famed for the mysterious disappearances that take place within it.
