discussing the Bermuda Triangle. 00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:48.479 What I actually really think about it a lot and think about how much I don't know about it. 00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:49.520 Yeah, wow. 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:51.280 This is exciting to me. 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:52.879 I'm so excited. 00:02:53.039 --> 00:03:00.319 Uh so it is the Bermuda Triangle, aka the devil's triangle. 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:01.360 Hmm. 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:06.560 So for starters, what do you know about the Bermuda Triangle? 00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:10.479 Honestly, not much, which is why I'm so excited. 00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:15.199 Uh, I just know that I just know the lore. 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.560 That's like a pirate lore. 00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:19.919 Or like Okay. 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:30.960 In the olden days where people were trying to discover the continents, they would get lost in there and die. 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:32.800 And die. 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.240 Okay, you're not very far off. 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:40.080 In fact, you kind of hit it on the head. 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.479 Do you know where the Bermuda Triangle is? 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:43.439 Trick question. 00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:47.199 Nobody really does, but the general gist is that. 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:48.319 Caribbeans? 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:49.120 Yes. 00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:50.719 The Bermuda Triangle. 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:51.840 Excellent. 00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:52.560 Thank you. 00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:53.280 Gold Star. 00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:57.039 The Bermuda Triangle is an area off the coast of the U.S. 00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:03.599 in the Atlantic Ocean between Florida, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda. 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:09.439 And it covers about 440,000 miles of ocean. 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:17.279 It is a place where ships, planes, and hundreds of people have supposedly vanished without a trace. 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:25.839 Now, the causes of these disappearances have been attributed to a ton of reasons. 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:45.040 Um, I will say some of them, not all of them, but people think that it is anywhere from UFOs, magnetic fields, freak weather, freak waves, trapped methane, the lost city of Atlantis and its energy crystals, an ancient comet. 00:04:45.279 --> 00:05:02.560 Yes, of course, that damn lost city, an ancient comet on the seabed, USA's AUCTEC base, America's Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center, uh located on Andres Island Bahamas. 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:09.759 And theorists have argued that the governments have worked with aliens and the basis testing for alien technology. 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:17.920 And finally, the last and my personal favorite reason a rip in the space-time continuum, creating a time tunnel. 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:20.480 More on that later. 00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:29.759 So you kind of were right when you were saying like olden stories of you know Caribbean times. 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:49.120 Basically, um stories around the Bermuda Triangle started way back in Christopher Columbus's time, toy, toy, toy, as he recorded seeing a glowing globe of light hovering over them, being like Christopher Columbus and his crew. 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:52.959 At one point, his compass began spinning. 00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:55.759 Um, but he sucks. 00:05:56.000 --> 00:06:01.439 So let's take that story with a grain of sucky salt. 00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:16.639 The term Bermuda Triangle didn't get coined until 1964 by American author Vincent Gaddis in an article titled The Deadly Bermuda Triangle, written for later than I would thought. 00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:17.360 Right? 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:19.439 Well, that's the way lore works. 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:31.040 But it, I mean, it did get started like way back when, and I think it was only like when a guy in the 60s had like a little catchy name for it that people were like, oh, okay. 00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:44.160 The area's urban legend started becoming popular in the 20th century when the Navy cargo ship USS Cyclops, a ship with more than 300 people on board, went missing in the area. 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:51.920 So we're gonna dig into that story, and I'm gonna also talk about a few other freaky stories. 00:06:52.480 --> 00:07:05.680 So the USS Cyclops, one of the Navy's biggest fuel ships, marks the largest loss of life in the history of the US Navy, not related to combat. 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:07.759 Yes. 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:21.199 In I know, in March 1918, the ship sailed from Brazil to Baltimore through the Bermuda Triangle, obviously stopping off in places. 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:31.040 It was carrying 11,000 tons of manganese ore, and it had just over 300 crew members. 00:07:31.759 --> 00:07:38.800 Allegedly, it set off on a good day, and uh the ship indicated no issues. 00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:42.240 And then the ship was never heard from again. 00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:47.360 It left, I believe, somewhere around Barbados, and that was it. 00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:52.879 The entire area was searched, and not a single thing was ever found. 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:56.959 No remains of the ship or any of the crew members. 00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:07.120 The captain of the USS Cyclops never even sent a distress signal, and no one responded to radio calls from other vessels. 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:11.759 Weird very weird. 00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:15.680 Bizarre, even bizarre, if you will. 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.040 But did they have the mains at the time? 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:21.120 What do you mean? 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:22.639 What year was this? 00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:24.240 1918. 00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:26.399 Yeah. 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.160 How good were those were those radars? 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:33.919 I mean, it's not that they were big. 00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:44.480 I think it's less about like the radar technology and more like how it's a big, big ship. 00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:45.279 Yeah.

00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:50.559 And for it to not go missing, nothing is a little crazy, no? 00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:51.679 Yeah, true. 00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:58.000 The next spooky ship thing we'll talk about is Carol A. 00:08:58.240 --> 00:08:58.720 Deering. 00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:08.639 And that was a five-masted schooner that was found aground the rocks of Hatteras Diamond Shoals in North Carolina. 00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:14.080 When an investigation team got to the vessel, they found a deserted ship. 00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:22.080 All of the crew members were missing, along with their personal items and navigational equipment and life grafts. 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.559 But the ship itself was fine besides it being upon rocks. 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:31.360 And they also discovered food in the middle of being prepared in the empty galley. 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:33.600 Next one, Witchcraft. 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:43.120 On December 22nd, 1967, a cabin cruiser called Witchcraft left Miami with its captain, Dan Barak, and a friend. 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:51.279 After making it just one mile offshore, the captain called the Coast Guard and said the ship hit something, but there was no substantial damage. 00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:56.799 The Coast Guard set off and got to the location within less than 20 minutes. 00:09:57.039 --> 00:10:03.039 But the area was empty and there was no sign of any vessel having been stranded or previously present. 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.600 No sign of life jackets, lifeboats, flare, distress signal devices. 00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:09.519 Let's see. 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:11.519 Great. 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:15.039 In we're gonna talk about now a flight. 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:25.759 In December 1970, Bruce Gernan flew from Andros Islands in the Bahamas towards Florida with his father and an associate. 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:27.200 Whatever that means. 00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:30.559 He was an experienced pilot and very familiar with the route. 00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:37.840 Not long after takeoff, he got into a strange cloud that grew into what seemed like a storm. 00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:46.000 He said that he saw a tunnel through the clouds, maybe 10 or 15 miles long, and he decided to fly through it. 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:53.679 According to him, the tunnel collapsed around the plane as he flew through it, and he felt a sensation of weightlessness. 00:10:53.840 --> 00:11:05.279 His compass started acting up, and when he finally realized where he was, he discovered he was over Miami Beach, effectively traveling 100 miles in three minutes. 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.039 An impossible feat. 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:17.919 In 1948, a commercial flight DC-3 disappeared, taking off from San Juan with two crew members and 29 passengers heading for Miami. 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:24.559 The plane was 50 miles away from Miami when the captain radioed the Miami airport for landing instructions. 00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.080 The airport

replied, and nobody responded. 00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:30.799 The plane was never seen again. 00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:44.960 And a final one, this is one of the biggest ones, um, possibly what really set off the whole Bermuda Triangle notion, right? 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:49.840 Um, it is Flight 19. 00:11:51.120 --> 00:12:05.840 So in 1945, a five-plane squadron, Flight 19, with 27 men, set out on a training mission from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and never made it back. 00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:15.039 Radio transmission from the crew members indicated that they may have become disoriented, apparently believing that they were somewhere they weren't. 00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:19.840 The pilots began reporting problems determining their position and direction. 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:34.000 Now, what makes this really, really, really crazy is that a rescue mission of 13 men were subsequently sent to search for flight 19, but those men too never returned. 00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:34.960 Spooky. 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:37.200 Very spooky. 00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:41.200 It's October. 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:45.120 So Nicole, I've told you told you some certainly spooky things. 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:48.399 Um what do you think? 00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:50.559 What are your thoughts? 00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:53.519 I think well now. 00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:58.320 Do you I guess my real question is? 00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:01.600 I would not I would not stand there if I had a boat. 00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:02.720 Do you not? 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:03.279 Okay. 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:05.759 I would that's question that's question one. 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:06.559 Question two. 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.519 Do you or do you not believe there is a rip in the space-time continuum? 00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:15.679 It's a yes or no question at all. 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:18.559 It's complicated to be on God. 00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:20.879 It's a yes or no question. 00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:27.279 It's hard for me to say yes or no to this. 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:34.480 I believe whatever people believe is the reality of their lives. 00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:35.519 How's that? 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:38.720 I think I do it well. 00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:40.960 I think you said I nailed it. 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:42.960 I think that was a yes. 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:51.919 Um, however, you want to interpret the Bermuda triangle, it's a real choose your own adventure. 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:53.039 You decide. 00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:55.120 It's just a mirror. 00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:58.399 It's just a mirror held up against you guys. 00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:08.720 Um, let's talk a little bit about what might be going on from a non-spooky angle. 00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:11.039 Even though I love spooky. 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:12.399 We're doing science. 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:14.480 We're bringing in science. 00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:17.840 We're gonna talk about brass tacks. 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:32.559 So the number of ships and aircrafts reported missing in the area are not significantly greater, proportionally speaking, than any other area of the ocean. 00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:48.159 Well, okay, so the area is also prone to tropical cyclones, and the number of disappearances that did occur were for the most part um apparently not that mysterious. 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:56.000 Um, there's sensationalism, stories exaggerated by sloppy journalism and research to get more buzz. 00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:13.440 There's even some evidence that the journalists, and this is going to be shocking for everybody, who wrote about the events happening in calm weather, um, actually, when they did further research, determined that the records say otherwise, that it was crazy weather. 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:18.960 So it's not as otherworldly as we're led to believe. 00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:30.159 It is also worth noting that the Marine Insurers, Lloyds of London, were asked if an unusually large number of ships had sunk in the Bremita Triangle area. 00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:39.519 Lloyds determined that large numbers of ships had not sunk there, and they do not charge higher rates for passing through the area. 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:45.039 The United States Coast Guard records confirm this conclusion. 00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:46.159 Hmm. 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:47.600 Now what? 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:49.039 Now what? 00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:50.320 Now what? 00:15:51.279 --> 00:16:10.320 Well, okay, so my conclusion is yes, maybe the Bermuda Triangle isn't extra crazy, maybe, but I think there's enough really weird things that happen there, like things that just like disappear. 00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:14.960 Maybe the crazy thing is just like horrific scary weather. 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:19.759 Like, sorry, but a freak wave is still fucking spooky. 00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:22.399 I don't want to hear about that. 00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:31.200 I think that the world always has to have some mystical story. 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:32.720 I agree. 00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:34.399 I do too. 00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:46.000 I need a mystical story about something I think it's important for us as humans to get out of our human state. 00:16:46.799 --> 00:16:52.480 And I think there are other funner, magical things. 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:55.759 So yeah, I'm a little, I'm a little perturbed. 00:16:56.240 --> 00:17:04.799 On like the spectrum of things, I'm not gonna put it all the way at like absolutely not, but I'm gonna put it on. 00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:06.960 I've got my eye on you. 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:09.839 I'm looking at you, Bermuda Triangle. 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:13.039 I see what you're doing, I don't like it. 00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:19.200 Yeah, but I guess my question to you is do you want to go with me? 00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:22.000 Do you want to come with me to the Bahamas tomorrow? 00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:24.480 All inclusive? 00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:27.519 Yeah, but I'm flying the plane. 00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:29.279 Fuck yeah. 00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:31.039 I'm a poor person. 00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:34.480 If it's all inclusive, I have nothing to lose. 00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:41.119 If I die, I would die being so hopeful that I'm gonna get an all-inclusive. 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:44.240 If I don't die, I'm getting an all-inclusive. 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:50.079 Either way, I will be happy at the end of this. 00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:51.599 It's a winner's mindset. 00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:52.640 Yeah, I like it. 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:54.720 Or a loser's mindset. 00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:56.559 No, because you know what? 00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:05.839 I think that you could be the richest person in the world and you would still do it because you love a you love a good time. 00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:07.920 You love a good deal. 00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:10.000 So, yes, Bianca. 00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:15.039 Let's go to the Bermuda Triangle together. 00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:33.119 If you want any updates about the podcast or want to see episode-related content, please follow us on Instagram at so bizarrepod. 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:35.200 We would appreciate it. 00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:39.440 And follow us on whatever platform you use to stream the podcast. 00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:41.200 Thanks for listening.
