The Bermuda Triangle phenomenon began in 1918 with the sailing of a grand ship called the Cyclops. On its way to Baltimore, Maryland, the Cyclops seemingly vanished. The United States Navy sent out search ships but they were unable to find a trace of the ship or any survivors. Over the next 50 years, more than 40 ships and 20 airplanes were lost in this area, from private crafts to United States Navy and Air Force vessels.

In 1974, author Charles Berlitz penned a book titled "The Bermuda Triangle" and followed this three years later with "Without a Trace." In these books, he hypothesized that the loss of the planes and ships were a result of supernatural forces at work. People seemed to find merit in these claims along with those made by mystic Edgar Cayce who claimed that the fabled city of Atlantis existed within the Bermuda Triangle and that a magical crystal within Atlantis distilled energy beams which interfered with navigational equipment. Others chalked up the disappearances to alien visits or the work of Satan. Scientists, however, were able to look at natural weather occurrences related to magma activity and shifting Earth plates underground. These can create hurricanes and magnetic storms on the surface which could certain cause damage to ships and confusion to their pilots.

Regardless of the logical explanations, it would seem that people would rather believe in the power of the supernatural forces. As such, it is likely that future accidents or disappearances will be attributed to the curse of the Bermuda Triangle.
