Between planes vanishing in clear skies, ships sinking in calm waters, and ghost ships drifting aimlessly through the sea; everyone has heard of the infamous Bermuda Triangle. Countless ships and planes have vanished without a trace inside this mysterious polygon. The disappearances date as far back as eighteen hundred when the USS Pickering vanished while on its way to Delaware carrying ninety passengers on board.
