ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Some stretches of ocean don't give people back, and the Bermuda Triangle is the most famous one. Navy squadrons. Cargo giants. A cabin cruiser that called for a tow on a calm December night and was gone before the Coast Guard could get there. This week we're going into the lore. The famous cases. The ghost ships. And what science actually thinks is happening out there, because the real answers might be stranger than the myth.
