The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle or Hurricane Alley, is a loosely defined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Most reputable sources dismiss the idea that there is any mystery.
The vicinity of the Bermuda Triangle is amongst the most heavily traveled shipping lanes in the world, with ships frequently crossing through it for ports in the Americas, Europe and the Caribbean islands. Cruise ships and pleasure craft regularly sail through the region, and commercial and private aircraft routinely fly over it.
Popular culture has attributed various disappearances to the paranormal or activity by extraterrestrial beings. Documented evidence indicates that a significant percentage of the incidents were spurious, inaccurately reported, or embellished by later authors.
Do you think the Bermuda Triangle is Weird? Here are the places on Earth that are weirder than the Bermuda Triangle.
1) Sentinel Island, India
How many of you remember The Skull Island from the movie King Kong. Do you believe there is an Island in real with a group of tribal people who has no contact with the outside world and kills the strangers who enters their island.

Located near Phoenix, Arizona, the Superstition Mountains have a dark and strange history. The Superstition Mountains popularly called “The Superstitions” is a range of mountains in Arizona located to the east of the Phoenix metropolitan area. The Apaches believe it holds a gateway to hell. Maybe this why there are reports of paranormal activity in the area, including odd sounds and voices encounters with aliens and reptilians.
According to the legend, a German immigrant named Jacob Waltz discovered a mother lode of gold in the Superstition Wilderness and revealed its location on his deathbed in Phoenix in 1891 to Julia Thomas, a boarding-house owner who had taken care of him for many years. Several mines have been claimed to be the actual mine that Waltz discovered, but none of those claims have been verified.
3) Mount Roraima, South America
Mount Roraima is the highest of the Pakaraima chain of tepui plateaus in South America. A gigantic flat-topped mountain with sheer cliff walls, It looks like something out of a science fiction movie. Surrounded by Venezuela, Brazil, and Guyana, it is 9 miles long and 9,094 feet high. Approximately two billion years old, it is one of the oldest geological formations in the world, and it has the reputation of being a “lost world” filled with strange creatures.
The isolated nature of the plateau makes it home to many unique species of flora, such as pitcher plants, bellflower and Rapatea heather. Remember that when hiking, you should not remove any plants or rocks – Mt. Roraima is part of Canaima National Park, and therefore this is strictly prohibited.
4) Devil’s Sea
Located between the Philippines, Guam, and Japan, the Devil’s Sea is considered to be the Bermuda Triangle of the Pacific. What makes the Devil’s Sea weirder than the Bermuda Triangle? Around 1000 BCE, Chinese folklore attributed the disappearances in the Devil’s Sea to mythical dragons that grabbed ships to take to their underwater lairs. To this day, Devil’s Sea is also known as The Dragon Triangle. The Devil’s Sea is sometimes considered a paranormal location, though the veracity of these claims has been questioned.
In 4 January 1955, Japanese ship Shinyo Maru No. 10 (第十伸洋丸) lost radio contact near Mikura-jima; Japanese newspapers began to label the location as ma no umi until the ship was found safe on 15 January. Yomiuri Shimbun showed a map of the sea with points of several other ships that had been lost in recent years, and stated that those ships were lost within the area that the Yokohama Coast Guard Office had classified as a special danger area. In the U.S., The New York Times introduced this incident with the term “The Devil’s Sea,” where nine ships had been lost in perfect weather.

6) Aokigahara Forest, Japan
What is weird about Japan’s Aokigahara Forest is that people flock there to die. Reports estimate that approximately 100 people commit suicide in the forest every year. Even in death, these people can remain lost. It can take years to recover the bodies of suicide victims because they can become hidden by the dense foliage of the forest. Some of the bodies are never recovered. The forest is also supposedly haunted by the ghosts of those who tragically ended their lives.
The forest has a historical reputation as a home to yūrei: ghosts of the dead in Japanese mythology. The rate of suicide has led officials to place a sign at the forest’s entry urging suicidal visitors to seek help and not take their own lives. Annual body searches have been conducted by police, volunteers, and journalists since 1970.
