    Or any other mysterious places that you feel do exist or are real

    I think there are places that have powers or mysteriousness about them

    More hype than mystery, as with most so-called mysteries.

    Here are some possible explanations, courtesy of UCSB.

    http://scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=105

    This seems particularly plausible:
    A couple of factors may contribute to this mystery. The first is that this area is one of two known areas on the earth where a compass points towards 'true' north and not 'magnetic' north as we normally see with compasses. (The second area is a located off the east coast of Japan). The difference between true and magnetic north can be as much as 20 degrees. This difference if not accounted for can really mess up a pilot or sailor's navigation getting them very lost somewhere on the sea. This may seem to be a bigger deal for the aircraft which may run out of fuel as they try to get back on track, leading to a crash into the ocean.
    Another factor that can cause trouble in the Bermuda triangle is the patterns of the Gulf Stream.The Gulf meets the Caribbean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean can cause a rough body of water as well as unpredictable storms causing major problems for boats.

    Its entirely possible that something natural, but as-yet-undiscovered is going on in the Bermuda triangle, and elsewhere! I wouldn't knock it.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, the work of the international maritime organisation is commendable in this regard.

    Nowhere is as mysterious as the Man O' War/Bog O' The Ring dodecahedron in North County Dublin.

    Google it. You'll find nothing because we are too scared to tell anyone about it.

    Nope

    methane hydrates explain the stuff that can't be explained otherwise

    and most of it can be explained by normal stuff and people finding patterns when there aren't any



    The Bermuda Triangle isn't even in the top ten most dangerous zones.

    Thousands of planes and boats fly and sail over the Bermuda Triangle everyday. Their's nothing mystical about it.

    Strangely, Mayo footballer still can't win an All-Ireland though :eek:

    Your Bermuda Triangle is impressive. Most impressive. But nothing tops the time ould Patsy McCullough lost his bearings by the Holy Stones of Knobnaturk after a skinfull of pints and half-wans in Jacksies. We found him in Quill's Bog three days later and he was so scuttered drunk he forgot to drown.

    I thought the tale was that after winning their last All-Ireland, their drunken antics disrupted a funeral so the priest said that as long as any member of that team is still alive, Mayo would not win another All-Ireland.

    Similar to the Mayo footballers is the Benfica soccer team. They had a manager who led them to 2 European cup finals but was then controversially sacked. Allegedly, he said Benfica would not win another European trophy for 100 years. They have been in 8 finals since this and lost every single one of them.

    easily the CIA used to get them addicted to heroin
    Fitzgerald set up shop on a small finger key just off the naval base at Key West, Florida, where the United States had stored its nuclear warheads during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Astounding results came quickly. A dolphin could tell the difference between aluminum and copper, could acoustically "see" a three-inch ball 200 yards off underwater in total darkness, and could be quickly taught to push or pull 110-pound payloads through a hundred miles of open sea. Dolphins also learned toplant magnetic satchels on the hulls of ships, although they often misplaced their dummy explosives underneath the yachts of some very surprised sportsmen. The CIA covered these mistakes by explaining that the dolphins were part of an experiment for the Bureau of Marine Fisheries.

    All in all, the venture was proceeding nicely. James Fitzgerald was happy to translate the dolphins' capabilities into "Pentagonese", referring to the dolphins as living, breathing submarines. "For operational purposes," he bubbled, "you can consider a cruising speed of five knots, an operating speed of ten, and a flying speed of twenty. They develop the shaft horsepower at cruising speed... with a fuel rate of fifteen pounds of fish a day."

    Nothing is more mysterious than the 'magic road' on Craggy Island.
