In this Nature Mysteries Minisode, Katy Reiss and Laura Fawks Lapole dive into one of Earth’s most famous unsolved legends: the Bermuda Triangle—also known as the Devil’s Triangle.

For over a century, this stretch of ocean between Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico has been blamed for the mysterious disappearances of ships, planes, and the people aboard them. But is it really cursed—or just misunderstood?

🛩️ What really happened to Flight 19 in 1945?
 🌊 Could methane bubbles or rogue waves swallow ships whole?
 🧭 What’s up with those compasses that go haywire?
 🌪 And why the Bermuda Triangle might not be as dangerous as everyone thinks

From magnetic anomalies to human error (and a sprinkle of 90s X-Files nostalgia), this episode separates science from sea legends—because sometimes the truth is stranger than the conspiracy.

🎧 This is part of our Nature Mysteries series—short, weird, and full of scientific “wait, what?!” moments.
