Supernatural Theories about the Bermuda Triangle

Other than scientific theories from the researcher about the Bermuda Triangle, there are also some supernatural theories or we can describe it as paranormal theories from some writer who make an investigation on the Bermuda Triangle. Here, there are three legendary supernatural explanations regarding the Bermuda Triangle.

1.      Atlantis – The Lost City

For the reason that there were no satisfying explanations for the mystery of disappearance flights and ships in the Bermuda Triangle, writers started blaming the mythical island of Atlantis that located in the area of the Bermuda Triangle. Because of the myth of Atlantis area that declares the location heavily depended on powerful special energy crystals which were extremely powerful. Those crystals radiated enormous amounts of energy (also known as death rays) that could break down the navigational tools of aircrafts and ships. Therefore, the airplanes and boats perhaps have been lost or get completely destroyed by the sheer power of the energy. That is the reason why many people believed that the Atlantis could have caused the disappearances.

2.      UFO – Unidentified Flying Object

Steven Spielberg’s is the one who has proposed the theory of UFO when he wrote about one of the aircraft which disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle which is Flight 19 on his book “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”. The book explained that the airplane was kidnapped by aliens. Even though their reasons are unclear, it has been suggested that the aliens have chosen the Bermuda Triangle as a point at which to imprison and abduct for unknown purposes. These supernatural theories do not really give superior explanations for the disappearances but they were believed by a lot of people since the ancient times.

3.      Souls of Black Slaves

Dr. Kenneth McAll, a theorized psychiatrist suggested that the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle's are the consequences of a curse. He believed the region may be haunted by the spirits of the many African slaves who had been thrown overboard on their voyage to America. This is because, on the 18th century, British sea captains defrauded insurance companies by tossing slaves into the ocean to drown, then cashing in on a claim for them.
