Sample Paragraph :
Bewitchingly beautiful Bermuda is one of the few places
in the modern world that still remain wrapped in an aura of superstitious mystery. The
Bermuda Triangle -- sometimes called the Devil's Triangle, Limbo of the Lost, the
Twilight Zone, and Hoodoo Sea -- covers some 500,000 square mi of the Atlantic Ocean.
Its apexes are most commonly defined as Bermuda, the southernmost tip of Florida, and
San Juan, Puerto Rico, although some place a boundary closer to Chesapeake Bay than to
Miami. It seems to have been christened in February 1964, when Vincent Gaddis wrote
an article titled "The Deadly Bermuda Triangle" for Argosy magazine. In the past 500
years at least 50 ships and 20 aircraft have vanished in the Triangle, most without a trace -
- no wreckage, no bodies, no nothing. Many disappeared in reportedly calm waters,
without having sent a distress signal. Among the legends is that of the Mary Celeste, a
103-foot brigantine found floating and abandoned in 1872. But the real mystery of
the Mary Celeste is that she turns up in Triangle tales at all. The ship was actually found
off the coast of Portugal. Then there is the case of Flight 19. At 2:10 on the afternoon of
December 5, 1945, five TBM Avenger Torpedo Bombers took off from Fort Lauderdale,
Florida, on a routine two-hour training mission. Their last radio contact was at 4 PM. The
planes and 27 men were never seen or heard from again. The official navy report said the
planes disappeared "as if they had flown to Mars." The most recent scientific theory on
the infamous Triangle suggests that the freakish disappearance of ships and aircraft could
be the result of large deposits of methane gas spewing up from the ocean floor. Huge
eruptions of methane bubbles may push water away from a ship, causing it to sink. If the
highly flammable methane then rises into the air, it could ignite in an airplane's engine --
causing it to explode and disappear.The Bermuda Triangle is a part of local lore that
won't disappear anytime soon. But don't let the legend scare you away -- the Triangle isn't
the only thing that makes this island seem magical.
