...has become associated in the popular imagination ith mysterious maritime disasters. Also knon as the Devils Triangle, the triangle-shaped area covers about 1,140,000 sq km about 440,000 sq mi beteen the island of Bermuda, the coast of southern Florida, and Puerto Rico.The sinister reputation of the Bermuda Triangle may be traceable to reports made in the late 15th century by navigator Christopher Columbus concerning the Sargasso Sea, in hich floating masses of gulfeed ere regarded as uncanny and perilous by early sailors others date the notoriety of the area to the mid-19th century, hen a number of reports ere made of unexplained disappearances and mysteriously abandoned ships. The earliest recorded disappearance of a United States vessel in the area occurred in March 1918, hen the USS Cyclops vanished.The incident that consolidated the reputation of the Bermuda Triangle as the disappearance in December 1945 of Flight 19, a training squadron of five U.S. Navy torpedo bombers. The squadron left Fort Lauderdale, Florida, ith 14 cremen and disappeared after radioing a series of distress messages a seaplane sent in search of the squadron also disappeared. Aircraft that have disappeared in the area since this incident include a DC-3 carrying 27 passengers in 1948 and a C-124 Globemaster ith 53 passengers in 1951. Among the ships that have disappeared as the tankership Marine Sulphur Queen, hich vanished ith 39 men aboard in 1963.Books, articles, and television broadcasts investigating the Bermuda Triangle emphasize that, in the case of most of the disappearances, the eather as favorable, the disappearances occurred in daylight after a sudden break in radio contact, and the vessels vanished ithout a trace. Hoever, skeptics point out that many supposed mysteries result from careless or biased consideration of data. For example, some losses attributed to the Bermuda Triangle actually occurred outside the area of the triangle in inclement eather conditions or in darkness, and some can be traced to knon mechanical problems or inadequate equipment. In the case of Flight 19, for example, the squadron commander as relatively inexperienced, a compass as faulty, the squadron failed to follo instructions, and the aircraft ere operating under conditions of deteriorating eather and visibility and ith a lo fuel supply. Other proposed explanations for disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle include the action of physical forces unknon to science, a hole in the sky, an unusual chemical component in the regions seaater, and abduction by extraterrestrial beings.Scientific evaluations of the Bermuda Triangle have concluded that the number of disappearances in the region is not abnormal and that most of the disappearances have logical explanations. Paranormal associations ith the Bermuda Triangle persist in the public mind, hoever.Gateay to HellBecause of the paranormal phenomenons, a cemetery from Kansas is named The Gateay to Hell. A small ton in Kansas called Stull. A quiet ton, ith just a fe dozen houses and to stores. But this place, apparently peaceful, has some scary secrets. The local cemetery is considered one of the fe places on Earth here e can meet all the negative paranormal phenomenons. The locals are convinced that this is the place from hich Satan comes to our orld. The name of the ton as given after the first man ho as in charge of the local mail, Silvester Stull, ho died in 1862. The cemetery is located at the end of the ton, the cause of the tons problems. Less than 100 toms and one burned don church are the only clues hich tells us that the place is a cemetery. Their problems start from the tons postal code. Stull is the only ton in the U.S.A. ith the code 666. A decision as taken to forbid anyone to come any closer than 50 meters to the cemetery fence. Anyone ho doesnt respect the decision risks even jail. This decision as taken to keep aay the ghost hunters and the curious ones ho ant to see ith their on eyes if the legends are true. The Time magazine asked the Pop John Paul II hich as the reason for asking that the plane he as travelling in, to Colorado, to not pass over the little ton in Kansas. The Pop ansered that he didnt anted to get near the Cursed Ground the name that he gived to the local cemetery.The bad name of the place comes from all the stories and legends about the old cemetery. Strange satanic rituals, spells and ghosts here reported in the last 150 years in that area. About the burned don church it is said that no drop of rain drops inside the church although the buildings rough as destroyed completely. Near the place there are a fe stairs, and the locals says that people ho ent don on them, came back after a fe eeks, although they thought that they ere missing just for a fe seconds. From one of the trees, inside the cemetery, used to be hanged itches ho ere caught doing rituals of calling the Satan. A legend says that inside the cemetery is one of the seven gates hich ill open once the Devil comes back on Earth.Dozens of scientists came over the last 25 years in the ton to find out the truth about The Gateay to Hell.It is truth, there ere registered a series of strange phenomenons, like vanishing of things, seeing of some ghostly shapes, cold inds only over the cemetery. I dont kno if this things are caused by supernatural phenomenonts or its just an active magnetic anomaly, said Andre Larence, one of the scientists ho studies the phenomenonts in Stull. Unsolved mysteriesThe purpose of Stonehengehy Stonehenge as constructed remains unknon. Most scholars agree that it must have been a sacred and special place of religious rituals or ceremonies. Many have speculated that Stonehenge as built by Sun orshipers. The axis of Stonehenge, hich divides the sarsen horseshoe and aligns ith the monuments entrance, is oriented broadly toard the direction of the midsummer sunrise. In nearby Ireland the celebrated megalithic monument Negrange, built approximately at the same time as Stonehenge, as oriented toard the midinter sunrise. In the early 1960s American astronomer Gerald S. Hakins theorized that Stonehenge as an astronomical observatory and calendar of surprising complexity. Hakins suggested that ancient peoples used the monument to anticipate a ide range of astronomical phenomena, including the summer and inter solstices and eclipses of both the Sun and the Moon. The astronomical interpretation of Stonehenge remains popular today, despite many uncertainties. Some scholars are doubtful that the peoples ho constructed Stonehenge and other sites of the era possessed the mathematical sophistication necessary to predict many of the events that Hakins theorized. They note that Stonehenges architects may have been aare of the subtle movements of the Sun, Moon, and other heavenly bodies ithout having an analytically advanced understanding of astronomy. The true purpose of Stonehenge is an enduring mystery. Modern observers can only speculate about hat it meant to ...
