The 12 Vile Vortices

The 12 Vile Vortices (plural of vortex) alleged points around the world that mark (like a cursed treasure map) areas where planes, ships, and people seem to vanish without a trace. Not to be without their own intriguing names, they’re called the Vile Vortices. You know of at least one of them: The Bermuda Triangle.

Here’s the complete list:

The 12 Vile Vortices of the World

Vortex #1- Bermuda Triangle: The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a loosely defined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, where a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared and compasses pointing true North. According to the US Navy, the triangle does not exist, and the name is not recognized by the US Board on Geographic Names.Popular culture has attributed various disappearances to the paranormal, sea creatures (such as the Kraken or loch-ness) activity by extraterrestrial beings (aliens). Documented evidence indicates that a significant percentage of the incidents were spurious, inaccurately reported, or embellished by later authors. In a 2013 study, the World Wide Fund for Nature identified the world’s 10 most dangerous waters for shipping, but the Bermuda Triangle was not among them. Lawrence David Kusche, a research librarian from Arizona State University and author of The Bermuda Triangle Mystery: Solved argued that many claims of Gaddis and subsequent writers were often exaggerated or unverifiable. Kusche's research revealed a number of inaccuracies and inconsistencies between Berlitz's accounts and statements from eyewitnesses, participants, and others involved in the initial incidents. Kusche also argued that a large percentage of the incidents that sparked allegations of the Triangle's mysterious influence actually occurred well outside it. Often his research was simple: he would review period newspapers of the dates of reported incidents and find reports on possibly relevant events like unusual weather, that were never mentioned in the disappearance stories. He concluded that the number of ships and aircraft reported missing in the area was not significantly greater, proportionally speaking, than in any other part of the ocean.In an area frequented by tropical storms, the number of disappearances that did occur were, for the most part, neither disproportionate, unlikely, nor mysterious; Furthermore, Berlitz and other writers would often fail to mention such storms or even represent the disappearance as having happened in calm conditions when meteorological records clearly contradict this.The numbers themselves had been exaggerated by sloppy research. Some disappearances had, in fact, never happened. One plane was said to have crashed in 1937 off Daytona Beach in Florida, in front of hundreds of witnesses. Yet a check of the local papers revealed nothing.
