12 Mysterious Things About The Bermuda Triangle That Cannot Be Explained

The ‘Bermuda Triangle’ is, undoubtedly one of the most mysterious places on this earth. Also known as the Devil’s Triangle, this triangular patch of water in the middle of the Atlantic ocean has been acting as a vanishing cabinet for ships and even planes for centuries.
