Everyone's heard of the Bermuda Triangle. If you believe what passes for information on the place, you'd hear that it's a region of ocean roughly triangular in shape, with its points at either Miami or Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the island of Bermuda, and the island of Puerto Rico, and that it's legendary for making ships, planes, and people disappear right off the face of the earth.

One of the more famous examples was Flight 19, a group of five Avenger torpedo bombers that disappeared over the Triangle on a routine training mission on December 5th, 1945. Supposedly they wound up in this dense cloud bank, radioed back one final message, then disappeared. Two PBY Catalina seaplanes were dispached to seach for the flight, but one of those disappeared as well. There's also been instances of ships disappearing, or just the people on them. Now, to be fair, the disappearance of Flight 19 was probably caused by the fact that the trainer had just transfered from Miami to Ft. Lauderdale and freaked out when he couldn't recognize anything then got lost, and the PBY Catalina planes were notorious for blowing up midflight, and a midair explosion was reported where the missing Catalina would have been. Bad weather also explains a lot of the boat disappearances, as it is located right in the middle of the path that hurricanes and other strong storms take up the coast of Florida. Many theories have been pitched to explain the remaining cases, from aliens, to magnetic anomalies, to gas "bumps", to bad weather. However, none of them have even come close.


The Triangle itself is alive. Not just a part of it, not a bunch of little things that are part of some fancy hive-mind, but the whole thing is created by one big creature. It stays within the confines of the Triangle mostly, and feeds very rarely. However, it's method of feeding explains the more mysterious disappearances rather well. The creature itself is quite powerful, and can sense fear quite acutely over very long distances. It then homes in on the victim, and then uses that fear against them. These fears are usually enough to get them to capsize their vessel or jump overboard, and the creature then eats them.

No one's ever actually seen the creature (as far as anyone knows, who knows if it just ate them), and it's large enough that all the sonar scans of the creature have been dismissed as just a part of the sea floor. However, something that big can't be ignored forever, but the issue will be seeing it without getting killed. It's not stupid, and it knows what could happen if it's ever revealed. It's usually content to let people look at it because it's just too big to notice if you're not looking for it. However, if it knows that you're looking for it, it wil go out of it's way to avoid you. And if you do manage to get a photo, sonar scan, or any other form of proof, may the deity of your choice protect you, and pray that your boat has enough gas to get back to shore. Some say that it looks like a gigantic octopus, but that's probably a bunch of shit.
