What Strangers Have To Say About The Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle --you'd be a square if you've never heard of it. While nobody has figured out just exactly what goes on in the Bermuda Triangle, we've all heard the horror stories about the mysterious disappearances of people who pass over this ominous section of the Atlantic Ocean. Thousands of people have vanished in the 500,000 square mile vicinity that stretches between Miami, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda (history.com), but where do they go? Many questions still remain unanswered about what goes down in this mystifying triangle of the unknown, so I asked several strangers about their conspiracy theories. Here's what four of those strangers had to say:

The first stranger I spoke with said what many people are hesitant to say: Aliens. Quite often, people joke about whether or not an alien life form actually exists; however, Stranger 1 is confident that they're real and they're the explanation for the strange disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle. "It's aliens 100%", she states, "They take the missing people and they probe them and then put them back on the Earth".

Stranger 2, on the other hand, does not believe in aliens, but he does believe in some form of supernatural phenomena. Stranger 2's theory is that the missing planes and ships are sucked into a "time warp". In case you aren't a big science fiction junkie, a time warp is an imaginary distortion of space in relation to time whereby people or objects of one period can be moved to another (dictionary.com).

Stranger 3 has a personal connection to the Bermuda Triangle--she has actually flown through this ominous zone. "I was a little on edge during the flight", she claims. However, when I asked what her conspiracy theories were, Stranger 3 just said, "Nothing magical happens. There must be something with the weather in the triangle."

Stranger 4 seemed to have the most complex theory out of all the strangers I got the chance to speak with. She started by saying, "I've heard that when you go over the Bermuda Triangle the magnetic fields stop working so you don't know where you're going". She later expanded on that and talked about the multiverse theory, which is essentially a theory that we live in a parallel universe of alternate timelines. She stated, "There are multiple different timelines happening at the same time, and they all have different outcomes. I wouldn't be surprised if, in areas of higher magnetic fields, you fly into it at a certain angle and certain speed that you can drift off into an alternate timeline".

Whether it was as simple as aliens or as complex as parallel universes, many different theories have been constructed to explain the phenomenon that is the Bermuda Triangle. The real answer has yet to be found, but who knows... Maybe one of these strangers has an idea of what goes down in the Bermuda Triangle.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
