Stephen Wagner from About.com has written this excellent article on theories behind the Bermuda Triangle phenomenon.
IN AN AREA that stretches from the Florida coast to Bermuda to Puerto Rico, the infamous Bermuda Triangle – also known as the Deadly Triangle or Devil’s Triangle – has been blamed for hundreds of shipwrecks, plane crashes, mysterious disappearances, craft instrument malfunctions and other unexplained phenomena. Author Vincent Gaddis is credited for coining the term “Bermuda Triangle” back in 1964 in an article he wrote for Argosy magazine, in which he catalogued many of the anomalous events in the area, and several other authors, including Charles Berlitz and Ivan Sanderson, have added to their number.
Whether or not phenomena of a paranormal nature are taking place there has been a matter of debate. Those who are convinced something odd is happening, as well as researchers who take a scientific view, have offered a number of explanations for the mystery.
MAGNETIC VORTICES
Fortean researcher Ivan Sanderson suspected that the strange sea and sky phenomena, mechanical and instrument malfunctions, and mysterious disappearances were the result of what he called “vile vortices” where, he said, “tremendous hot and cold currents crossing the most active zones might create the electromagnetic gymnastics affecting instruments and vehicles.” And the Bermuda Triangle wasn’t the only place on earth where this occurred. Sanderson drew out elaborate charts on which he identified 10 such locations precisely distributed around the globe, five above, and five below at equal distances from the equator.

In 1925 a Famed British Explorer Entered the Amazon Jungle and Was Never Seen Again; Now His Fate May Finally Be Known.
In this age of GPS and satellite imagery, it’s hard to imagine such a thing, but for one famous explorer a few generations ago, the possibility of a “lost city” was all too tantalizingly real. Anthony Mason tells us about that long-ago quest, from A . . . to Z:
Since the dawn of the modern age, the notion of a pre-historic world, hidden deep in the jungle and untouched by the passage of time, has captivated our imaginations.
Before “Jurassic Park,” before “King Kong,” there was “The Lost World.” Written in 1912 by Sherlock Holmes’ creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, “The Lost World” was in turn largely inspired by the real-life adventures of one remarkable man: Col. Percy Harrison Fawcett.
David Grann, a staff writer for The New Yorker magazine, says in his time Fawcett was a larger-than-life figure: “Oh, he really was. I mean, he was the last of these kind of great territorial explorers who would plunge into the blank spots on the map, carrying a machete, essentially, and an almost divine sense of purpose.”
Grann was researching an article on Conan Doyle when he came across a reference to Fawcett.

Has the search for Amelia Earhart coming to an end? Will the mystery of her fate finally be solved once and for all? A group claim that this is just the case!
“It has been 72 years since famed aviator Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan disappeared while attempting to fly around the world. But the mystery remains unsolved: Nobody knows exactly what happened to Earhart or her plane.
Now researchers at the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery, or Tighar, say they are on the verge of recovering DNA evidence that would demonstrate Earhart had been stranded on Nikumaroro Island (formerly known as Gardner Island) before finally perishing there.”
