...Crazy things happens everyday in this world. Sometimes strange things appear every now and then. There are mysteries that are heard which may be solve or maybe not. Some leaves the people clueless and others leaves them with new knowledge. These are legends that been around for decades and centuries, which had hundreds of people trying to solve them. Everyone hears about people, cars, materials going missing or disappearing; but planes and ships disappearing in the same location over periods of time have something to do with the Bermuda Triangle (Devil’s Triangle) and its mysteries. The Bermuda Triangle is located in between Florida, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda. Its responsible for a lot of missing ships,planes, and people; or strange event that happened over the past years. The area of the triangle is known for planes and ships to lose signal and transmission with their base and have strange readings with their compass. The compass reading seem to point to the actual north instead of the magnetic field north. The location was also seen with a a glow like a meteor and to have strange compass readings when Christopher Columbus was sailing to new world, “a great flame of fire, which seemed to fall from the sky into the sea, about four or five leagues distant.” (The life and voyages of Christopher COlumbus pg. 37 para 1) The birth of the Bermuda Triangle for the U.S. started when Flight 19 were set off on a bombing practice routine and disappeared. Pilot Lt. Taylor who was the leader...

As they were flying back to base, the Pilots had suddenly reported that their equipment was going crazy. The radio signals were growing weaker, and weaker as if they were flying the wrong way. According to Lee Ann Obringer,’’ The tower began receiving transmissions from the flight leader that they were lost, compasses were not working, and everything looked wrong.’’ There was no longer any sign of Flight 19. An extensive Navy investigation was ordered to search for Flight 19 crew members. After an extended search the Navy had no clues to explain Flight 19 disappearance.

... The mystery of Easter Island has puzzled humanity for years. Easter Island is the world’s most remote inhabited island (“The Mystery of Easter Island”), but a group of people managed to sail there and establish a society that created about 900 stone statues across the island ("Easter Island -- World Heritage Site -- National Geographic”). Over the years, scientists have discovered many facts about the people of Easter Island and their achievements, and have been able to create several plausible theories. However, none can fully explain the mystery that is Easter Island. 1. Facts Easter Island lies roughly 1,289 miles from the nearest inhabited island and 2,182 miles from the nearest continental point (“Easter Island”). The earliest settlers of Easter Island were Polynesian, though none know where exactly they sailed from (“Mysterious Places: Explore Easter Island in Words and Pictures”). As their population increased, the Rapa Nui people formed clans. In fact, it is believed that the large stone statues–called moai-found on the island are commemorative images of lineage heads, though they are not portraits of specific individuals (“Mysterious Places: Explore Easter Island in Words and Pictures”). Easter Island’s moai range from about 4 to 33 feet in height, with the average moai being roughly 13 feet high (“Stone Giants”). Of the 887 moai on Easter Island, only 288 made it to their final resting positions. 45% of the moai never left the quarry and 10% were found abandoned...

...The disappearance of Malaysian Air flight 370 was one of the most important events of 2014. On March 8th, 2014, a commercial passenger plane with 239 people onboard simply disappeared into thin air. The plane originated in Kuala Lumpur and its final destination was to be Beijing, China. Needless to say, it never made it. Less than one hour after takeoff, the air traffic controllers lost all contact with the cockpit, it disappeared from radar, and it has not been heard from since. There are some people who claim to have seen the plane on their radar after it disappeared, and some who say they actually saw a mystery plane in the sky during the night. There are may theories floating around as to what happened to this doomed flight. Some people...

...First of all, The Bermuda Triangle, also given the nickname "Devil's Triangle", is situated in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean. That is where aircrafts and ships are reported to be missing under mysterious conditions. For the Bermuda Triangle to be considered as the "devil's triangle" their must be some sort of proof that there really is paranormal activity going on in that area. Their are many cases of paranormal activity, but this one is not only the most confusing considering the fact they still haven't found the cause for the incident, but this is also the first ever affair in the history of the Bermuda Triangle. This incident took place a while back on September 17, 1950. It is about the loss of flight 19. Which was a group...

... There are a number of paranormal activities that have occurred in the Graveyard of the Atlantic.The favorite theories of the Bermuda Triangle from fantasy writers are, “evil extraterrestrials, residue crystals from Atlantis, evil humans with anti-gravity devices or other weird technologies, and vile vortices from the fourth dimension” (Carroll). According to David Pares, one of the most popular paranormal activities in the Bermuda Triangle, electronic fog, forms when solar energy combines with thunderstorm activity (Bernard). Rob MacGregor and Bruce Gernon introduced electronic fog to the world. Flying their plane, Bonanza A36, on December 4, 1970, Gernon and his father went over the Bahamas. On their way to Bimini, they came across “a tunnel- shaped vortex.” Traveling through this cloud tunnel, all of their navigational devices messed up, even their compasses spontaneously spun (Wagner). Coming to the end of the tunnel, they didn’t see what they thought. Grey, dull, white for miles rather than seeing bright blue sky. When flying to Miami Beach, the flight to the beach would usually take seventy-five minutes, however, it only took them thirty-four minutes traveling through the grey sky. (Wagner). In January, 1971, Bruce Gernon came across another mysterious encounter. Where he exited the tunnel vortex before, him and his girlfriend flew in that area. He all of a sudden noticed a bright orange star coming towards them. At first a planet came to his mind; it kept getting bigger...

...started as a result of economic and political insecurity that ensued from public disorder beginning in 1969 (Chasteen). The Dirty War lasted from 1976 to 1983 and began as a result of a military coup of a government that was put into action during the presidency of Isabel Martinez de Peron in 1974. The purpose of the military coup was to develop a stabilized government by systematically removing leftist activists, seen to be “terrorists” (Finchelstein). The Dirty War involved the systematic kidnapping, murder, and torture of thousands of citizens including pregnant women and children. The Dirty War involved kidnapping, murder, and torture of thousands of citizens that were virtually invisible to the public and as a result called "disappearances”. Captives from all walks of life were systematically tortured, raped and murdered, sometimes drowned and other times buried in mass graves. Approximately 30% of the disappeared were women. Some were abducted with their small children, and some were pregnant, or became so while in detention, usually through rape by guards and torturers (Finchelstein). Pregnant prisoners were routinely kept alive until they had given birth. Hundreds of pregnant women were forced to give birth in secret detention centers before “disappearing.” Subsequently their newborns were given to military families or allies, who raised them with a completely different identity. Many pregnant women were kidnapped, and in captivity they endured all kinds of...

...ocean off the coasts. None of the found planes were reported missing. That could be because of the numerous amounts of planes that disappear in the Bermuda Triangle. Charles Berlitz explains the number that disappear, "In the period 1974-76 more than six hundred yachts and other pleasure craft have disappeared off the coasts of the United States, a considerable percentage of these losses occurring within the Bermuda Triangle"(13). He also talks about an interview with the press, "Recently, during a press interview in San Francisco, I was asked by a reporter whether any disappearances had been noted recently. I replied that a plane had vanished the previous weekend suggesting that the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle, far from being a footnote to the past history of the sea, are still continuing on the average of a plane about every two weeks and a ship or yacht almost weekly"(15). There are many disappearances within the Bermuda Triangle that we can't be told about. (Only because they happen to the Navy or the Coast Guard.) "These probable reasons include the...

...got its name from this mystery. C: The true occurrence of how the mission went and explanation of phenomena. For years there has been an unsolved mystery of disappearances of boats and planes with no trace of evidence left behind. All of these conspiracies had relevance as to the whereabouts of these lost travelers. The locations of these disappearances were within a geographical triangle in the Atlantic Ocean. The corners of this legendary triangle were between three axis points: Miami, Florida; San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Bermuda. After some question this so-called triangle gained the name "Devils Triangle," serving to peoples superstitions that the devil was fooling with lost travelers. It also brought to question whether aliens had a selected spot on earth for abduction or could it be a vortex that warps the living to another dimension. Could all of these questionable losses just be a coincidence that conjured up a myth? In the last hundred and fifty years forty ships and twenty planes have disappeared carrying over a thousand people into an oblivion that is yet to be explained (Kusche 10). Even the US Coast Guard is baffled by these series of events. There are also cases of disappearances during search and rescue missions. There have been a number of theories trying to explain the great number of disappearances most typically through environmental reasoning and human error. The area has abnormal environmental qualities. One is that the area is one of the only two places...

...2nd, 2015 The Bermuda Triangle is an expanse of sea that is infamous because many ships and planes go missing over its waters. The causes of these disappearances are still unknown, and many have not returned from it. There are many facts involving the Bermuda Triangle, and even more interesting theories. 1. Facts The Bermuda Triangle is an expanse of ocean between Puerto Rico, Florida, and the island of Bermuda. It was first given its name Devil’s Triangle in the 1969 John Wallace Spencer book, Limbo of the Lost. Despite being known worldwide, it is not officially recognized by the US Navy or the US Board of Geographical Names as an actual worldwide area (“Bermuda Triangle”.) There are many...

...Many of the scenarios that are suggested is paranormal theories, like for example some people believe that it has to do with Atlantis. “The general mystery surrounding the Bermuda Triangle has led many to attribute paranormal phenomena as being responsible for all the disappearances.” One of the other main thinking is that creatures beyond our planet had something to do with it all. Another popular theory is that extraterrestrials are abducting planes and ships, or that their activities are indirectly causing the disappearances.

...The Plight of Missing Persons Naomi White Kaplan University CM220-15 Professor L McCuish December 15, 2012 The Plight of Missing Persons According to staggering statistics, there are close to 60,000 + Jane and John Does buried, cremated or lying in coroners offices across this country with no names; all scattered across a nation with no standard protocol for case sharing and identification (NamUs, 2012). These unidentified people are young and old, male and female, from all walks of life. They are someone’s mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, sisters and brothers. These bodies and spirits of our nations unidentified cry out for their names, proper burial, and many times, justice (Reitterer, 2012). The heartbreaking reality behind these statistics is a world no one wishes to be a part of. Well over 100,000 active missing person’s cases in this country at any given time. There is an estimated 60,000 sets of human remains unidentified throughout this nation. Hundreds of thousands of family members and friends living in limbo wondering what became of their loves ones. To the families of the missing, this situation has been called our nation's "Silent Mass Disaster; a problem of epidemic proportions" (NamUs, 2012). Families and advocates of the missing cry out for change within our communities and justice system and we must not allow their cries to go unheard. The Doe Network is an international non-profit volunteer organization created in 1999. Its focus...

...Christine A. Caminade Thirst for Freedom, Justice and Peace The play, Fish-Hair Woman, was a beautiful production by the Harlequin Theatre Guild of De La Salle University. It had a unique diversity from death and love, an enemy and a sweetheart, war and an impassioned serenade and more. Only four chambers, but with infinite space like memory, where there is room even for those whom we do not love. The most noticeable thing about the production would perhaps be the set-up. The “Theater-in-the-Round” setup of the play was designed by Joseph Duran, and is reminiscent of the “Arena Theater” of ancient Greece and Rome. What I loved about this structure is the intimacy that it establishes with the audience. Fish-Hair Woman made me feel like I was part of the play. In addition, what makes “Fish-Hair Woman” different from the other Theater-in-the-Round productions that I have seen is that it’s not just about the audience surrounding the stage – the audience is actually a part of the stage. The plot happens all around – scenes happen in front, people enter from the sides, and flashbacks may happen from the mounted stage behind you. The story is mainly about Estrella, the fish-hair woman who uses her 12-metres-long hair like a net to retrieve the dead from the river when pro-government forces and guerillas sweep through the village where she lives. She is the one who remembers and suffers. Her story and those around her are central to this play, but the stories that...

...scientists and geographers to debate about its structure and its activity. Some scientist say it's because Methane gas in the water, but that doesn't explain the planes that are vanishing out of nowhere. And others say it's just bad luck because there are many planes that make it through the triangle without any harm. And the majority of people say it's the water path structure which means how the water is moving under the peak of the water, which pull in ships downward, making them sink and it affects the weather around it to cumulate the clouds to put much pressure on planes making them have no control on themselves. Everybody has their argument about The Bermuda Triangle but no one can prove themselves to be right about the horrific disappearances within the “Devil’s Triangle”. “No such thing as The Bermuda triangle being solved because it's all natural” (Lawrence David Kusche). July 3, 1946 a C-54 aircraft departed from Bermuda and flew into a large thunderstorm. The aircraft was never seen again? The question is why would it follow the path of the thunderstorm. Investigators have looked at tracing of the aircraft and had found out that it tried to avoid it, but it got closer to the eye of the storm. There were only six people on board, but the aircraft could of sat a total of 85 passengers....
