12	The Bermuda Triangle is a popular place for works of fiction to place mysterious events, especially the disappearances of ships and airplanes (sometimes in connection with other StockUnsolvedMysteries, such as the fate of the crew of the ''[[GhostShip Mary Celeste]]''). Often, it will turn out that something ''really'' weird is involved with the area, such as aliens, paranormal activity, {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, {{Atlantis}}, or something even weirder. If the events are of human origin, it's still something weird like an AncientConspiracy or the work of a dangerous {{Cult}}.

14	Part of the HollywoodAtlas. The Bermuda Triangle is a region of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sargasso_Sea Sargasso Sea]] found in the Atlantic Ocean, much of which is south-west of the coast of Bermuda. Before it became popular in pure SpeculativeFiction, the triangle started out as an [[UrbanLegends Urban Legend]]. Although that legend has since been [[DiscreditedTrope discredited]],[[note]]Statistically speaking, the number of disappearances in this particular region is no higher or lower than any other part of the ocean of similar size and weather[[/note]] it continues to live on through its popularity in fiction.
15
16	Part of the reason it exists in fiction is that latitude was always much easier to find at sea than longitude (which required an accurate clock), so ships tended to aim for the right latitude then sail east or west as needed. Even this was easier said than done when it came to finding oceanic islands like Bermuda. In other words, it was easy to get lost on your way to Bermuda. The other problem is the geography around the island itself. The southern side of the island is relatively safe, but the northern side is rife with reefs, shoals shoulder to shoulder. The number of wrecks north of the island is an order of magnitude greater than those on the south side, giving it an unsavory reputation.

27	* ''Anime/DoraemonNobitaAndTheCastleOfTheUnderseaDevil'': The heroes discover that this is due to the triangle being part of an ancient force-field, home to an AI gone insane.
28	* ''Literature/HeavyObject'': The final battle of Volume 15 takes place in the Triangle. It's also revealed that the Information Alliance uses an uncharted island in the Triangle to house the Capulet system's "breaker".
29	* ''Anime/TransformersCybertron'': The Triangle makes an appearance as the last resting place of {{Atlantis}}, which turns out to be an ancient Cybertronian starship.
30	* ''Anime/LupinIIIIslandOfAssassins'' uses it as a both a plot point and as one of its [[TheReveal big reveals]], since it's where the eponymous island is located. Lupin explains that the reason for all the unexplained disappearances is a GovernmentConspiracy to keep the island hidden, since the assassins there work for them. So any ships that come anywhere near it without clearance is taken out with [[KillSat a high-powered satellite weapon.]]
31	* ''Manga/OnePiece'' had the Florian Triangle which is full of fog and many ships are said to have disappeared. The Straw Hats eventually find out that an island ship called Thriller Bark was responsible for this and put a halt to it. However, the end of the story arc reveals that the disappearances started long before Thriller Bark arrived and three enormous shapes are shown looming in the fog. Several years before this, anime {{Filler}} had independently placed a time-warping EldritchLocation called "Apes' Concert" (aka the Rainbow Mist) on the Grand Line. The Bermuda connection here [[GeniusBonus is a lot more obtuse]]: "Apes' Concert" is inspired by the Japanese pronunciation of "Sargasso" (''saru gassō'').
32	* In ''Anime/SaintSeiya'', Sea Dragon/[[spoiler:Gemini]] Kanon can open a rift in space to throw people in the Triangle, which is a [[EldritchLocation time abyss]] in the story's universe.

40	* ''ComicBook/DRAndQuinch'': In "D.R. & Quinch Have Fun on Earth", one of the segments of the title duo's [[TimeTravel adventure through time]] that sees them influence the course of history on some InsignificantLittleBluePlanet features Quinch recalling a time with his buddy "while cruising just off Bermuda" and trying to pull in human aircraft towards their ship with a TractorBeam "to get a better look at them," only for the beam's force to break apart the fragile planes.
41	* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'': Themyscira (a.k.a. Paradise Island), the native home of Diana and her sister Amazons, is sometimes located in the Bermuda Triangle, but the island can teleport to any location or time whenever the island's inhabitants desire. [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Pre-Crisis]], it was in the Bermuda Triangle all the time. Although the Franchise/DCUniverse is generally a FantasyKitchenSink, it was acknowledged in-story that this was a coincidence and the area is not actually paranormal.
42	* In ''ComicBook/GilgameshTheImmortal'', all kinds of strange phenomena occur in that area, because there is a portal that leads to another dimension, where the descendants of Atlantis live.
43	* Creator/MarvelComics:
44	** ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'': A recurring foe, Mole Man, has a home on Monster Island, which is suggested to be either somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle or off the coast of Japan, DependingOnTheWriter. The island first appeared in ''Fantastic Four'' #1 and was only later localized (for a time) in the Bermuda Triangle, but it more frequently linked to the Godzilla mythos (Marvel once published a Godzilla comic) and thus localized near Japan.
45	** ''ComicBook/XMen'':
46	*** The mysterious nameless island raised to the surface of the Atlantic by Magneto in ''Uncanny X-Men'' #149 is definitely located in the Bermuda Triangle. It contains ruins of a lost civilization heavily implicated in aliens and eldritch abominations.
47	*** La Isla des Demonas, which connects to the Hell dimension Nightcrawler passes through, is located in or near the Bermuda Triangle. Havok and the X-Men even had to guard archaeologists there.

66	* In ''Film/ThePhantom1996'', the Devil's Vortex is a serial-numbers-filed-off version of the Bermuda Triangle, a region of ocean that has a reputation for ships disappearing in it; this turns out to be because the home base of the Sengh Brotherhood is in the middle of it, and they take strong measures against anybody who gets too close.
67	* ''Film/TheDarkSideOfTheMoon1990'' offers an unusual explanation that disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle happen during the roughly 28 days in a month when the orbiting moon [[ArtisticLicenseSpace isn't facing the location]].
68	* ''Film/TheBermudaTriangle'' with Creator/JohnHuston and Gloria Guida is a 1978 action sci-fi Mexican-Italian film [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin about the Bermuda Triangle]], which connects the Triangle to {{Atlantis}} and heavily features a CreepyDoll.

[[spoiler:Until the end, when it turns out Satan really was at fault for everything.]]
76	[[/folder]]
77
78	[[folder:Literature]]
79	* In Creator/DeanKoontz's ''Literature/{{Phantoms}}'', Timothy Flyte proposes that the disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle are due to one of the [[EldritchAbomination Ancient Enemy]] creatures.
80	* In ''Literature/The39Clues'', the Ekaterina have an IslandBase here.
81	* ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' establishes that, because America is the current center of Western civilization, mythological sites that used to be around Greece and Rome are now located there. This means that the Sea of Monsters is no longer the Mediterranean but the Bermuda Triangle.
82	* ''Literature/TheBermudaTriangle'' by Charles Berlitz was an instant hit because it pretended to be a real mystery, rather than fiction. The book claims many ships and airplanes have disappeared mysteriously in the Triangle, but the facts in the book were quickly discovered to be falsified. Lots of the ships and airplanes listed never existed in the first place, and others had sunk in other parts of the world. Those that remained were not many enough to be unusual and had sunk under totally normal circumstances, such as extremely bad weather.
83	** Larry Kusche wrote a book of his own as a rebuttal to Berlitz, ''The Bermuda Triangle Mystery Solved'', where he points out the above errors. Kusche is quite willing to admit that mysterious incidents do happen in the Bermuda Triangle (the fates of the airplanes ''Star Tiger'' and ''Star Ariel'' probably the most baffling ACTUAL mysteries); the problem, he says, is that these incidents happen at roughly the same rates around the entire world and that you can't pin special blame on the Bermuda Triangle.
84	* In ''Literature/EchoesOfTheFourthMagic'', a research submarine exploring the Bermuda Triangle is dragged into an underwater temporal rift that dumps them centuries in the future. All other victims of the Triangle are present at their arrival but are dead, having emerged deep underwater.
85	* ''Literature/EmperorMolluskVersusTheSinisterBrain'': The Bermuda Triangle was originally the location of early nuclear testing. In a one in a million chances, this created a stable time anomaly that has populated the area with [[LostWorld dinosaurs]] and mutants resulting from the radiation. After becoming Emperor, Mollusk had since started to use the area as a dumping ground for old inventions he had no use for, in the (mistaken) belief that no-one can get access to it.
86	* ''Literature/TheJenniferMorgue'' has the Triangle as one of several sites heavily colonized by the Deep Ones, a species of SufficientlyAdvancedAliens that live on the ocean floor. The disappearances of ships in the region involve the weaponization of gas deposits -- when released, they can cause the water under a ship to rush out momentarily, causing the keel to sink into the void just as the water starts rushing back in. The Deep Ones do this whenever a ship gets too close to finding out about them.
87	* The Bermuda Triangle shows up in ''Literature/TimeScout'', as possibly explained by an "unstable nexus gate". Basically, one semi-permanent TimePortal that leads to a number of other semi-stable, semi-permanent gates constantly opening and closing. Oh, and it's in warm water.
88	* In ''Literature/{{Curveball}}'', there used to be an island in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle. [[RetGone It's been mostly erased from history, now]]. There's still a remnant, however, that will occasionally appear in the location where the island would have been, to trap unwary ships and planes.
89	* ''Literature/WeCantRewind'' uses this as a MagneticPlotDevice which takes the characters to a BizarroUniverse where time flows backward. The narrator mentions near the end that only a very few of the disappearances in the Triangle are actually rightly attributed to this phenomenon, while the rest were (probably) from more mundane causes.
90	* ''Literature/TheLastDayOfCreation'' by Wolfgang Jeschke. The US Navy started the original UrbanLegend as a GasLeakCoverup for their experiments in time travel, held away from the continental United States for safety reasons. However it's suggested that the artificial gravity bubbles moving back in time have destroyed aircraft and ships caught up in their wake, as fragments of debris and human remains have appeared on the 'landing platform' set up in Bermuda in the past.
91	* ''Literature/TheMer''. The Big Gathering of Mer is held in a different place each year, but every few years they hold it in the Bermuda Triangle. A lot of people have drowned there[[note]]Drowning is how humans become Mer[[/note]] and humans tend to avoid it, so a large number of Mer have made their home there.
92	* Lampshaded in ''The Takers'' by Jerry Ahern when a CIA agent comments regarding the ship carrying the [[MacGuffin Gladstone Log]], "And yeah, it went down in the Bermuda Triangle, but that's a load of crap." The protagonists nearly disappear in the Triangle themselves, but thanks to RuthlessModernPirates (whose captain also lampshades the trope).

117	* ''Lost Voyage'', a Film/SyFyChannelOriginalMovie has angry spirits from the Bermuda Triangle killing people in a TV studio.
118	* ''[[Series/TheLibrarians2014 The Librarians]]'' went there in the season 3 episode "The Trial of the Triangle". The disappearances are because a previous Librarian magically set up a PocketDimension there as safekeeping for a {{MacGuffin}}. Dates of entry and vessels lost there are themed after his love of Lewis Carroll's ''Alice in Wonderland''. Vessels never return because the wormhole that leads there is impassable, without magically changing ones own particles for transit, and they disintegrate on the way through.
119	* ''Series/TheHardyBoysNancyDrewMysteries'' episode "The Mysterious Fate of Flight 608" subverts this to pieces. The Hardys board a plane that will be flying over the infamous area; Joe finds out about the flight path from a scared passenger and freaks out, though Frank scoffs at the idea, saying science has debunked the whole thing. But the plane runs into trouble: a hurricane hits, the pilots collapse, Frank ends up crash-landing the plane into the ocean, and the passengers take refuge on a deserted island, with the scared passenger saying they're now in another dimension and lost for good.

120	* The unsold ''ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}'' pilot from the producers of ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' featured the Atlanteans abducting famous missing pilots and ship crews from the Bermuda Triangle and defending the area with a huge DeathRay that shoots up out of the ocean to blast nosy visitors.
121	* ''Series/SeaQuestDSV'' had an episode that explains ship disappearances in the region are specifically caused pockets of fresh water in limestone aquifers, and occasionally, they would breach, with catastrophic results for anything above them due to density differences between salt water and fresh water.
122	* Referenced in the ''Series/{{CSINY}}'' episode, "[[Recap/CSINYS05E10 The Triangle]]," when Mac disappears from a crime scene in the area around the Empire State Building known for bizarre happenings in-universe.

139	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
140	* In ''TabletopGame/{{Illuminati}}'', one of the [[AncientConspiracy Illuminati Conspiracies]] is ''named'' "The Bermuda Triangle". This is not what they call themselves; they are so secret that no one knows the organization's real name. The others have nicknamed it after the geographical area because they know that it's behind the disappearances there. In both card game versions of the game, this Illuminati conspiracy is one of the playable factions. In the TabletopRPG version, it's one of the mysterious forces that the characters might have to investigate.
141	* ''TabletopGame/{{Rifts}}'': Ocean triangles are anomalous stretches of the sea created when three {{Ley Line}}s intersect to form a triangular shape. The resulting triangle is subject to natural and supernatural storms, surges in ley energy, warped time, random rifts formation, rains of frogs, fish, fire or debris, attacks by predators or {{Sea Monster}}s, banks of toxic fog and similar events, making sailing through such as area extremely dangerous. The Bermuda Triangle itself -- known as the Demon Sea -- is the most infamous, but five other major triangles exist: one off of South America, one south of Madagascar, one between Australia and New Zealand, one off of Japan and one covering most of the Mediterranean. A small triangle over Lake Michigan is believed to be the only freshwater triangle in the world.
142	* A 1970s Milton Bradley board game called ''The Bermuda Triangle'' involves players guiding magnetized game pieces ("cargo ships") through the Triangle without getting them "consumed" by the ever-shifting "cloud" that moves along a grid of dots that is determined by a spinner.

152	* ''VideoGame/CivilizationVI'' includes the Triangle as a Natural Wonder. The area surrounding the Wonder itself grants an large amount of Science but is usually too far out for any city to take advantage of it. It also gives naval units extra movement, but any unit, naval or otherwise, that crosses the wonder are [[PortalPool teleported]] to an random Ocean tile halfway across the map.
153	* ''VideoGame/TheClueFinders5thGradeAdventuresTheSecretOfTheLivingVolcano'' takes place in an area where ships have been disappearing, albeit one located in the South Pacific rather than the Atlantic.

Once the player nearly reaches the end of the lap, they're warped to a stormy open ocean world where lost and wrecked ships and airplanes clutter the map and new ones spawn from the sky. Near the end of the final lap, the player warps back to the sunny island world to end the race there.
166	* ''VideoGame/StarTrekJudgmentRites'': The Antares Rift serves as the space equivalent of this, with multiple ships sent to explore it in the past having all disappeared. The ''Enterprise'' is sent there during the game, and is nearly destroyed. Nevertheless, they discover that the Rift is so dangerous because it is full of hard-to-detect holes in reality leading to [[PocketDimension other dimensions]]. As the ship tries to navigate its way out, Spock gets kidnapped by an EnergyBeing living inside one of those dimensions.

It's how baby Lindesfarne and adult Danielle crossed into the animal world, and another arc has Ralph and Martha temporarily end up in the human world through it. Danielle later tries to go back through, only for Lindesfarne to pre-empt her by planning to send her mice instead (and even up the balance between the worlds)... and then for Ms. Aura and Nigel to pre-empt ''that'' and cross over instead.
175	* ''Webcomic/MagickChicks'': In chapter 16, [[spoiler:Cerise]] said she mass teleported the [[AllGirlSchool Artemis]] [[AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil Student Council]] into a volcano, but she didn't divulge its location.

Sheen once refers to the Bermuda Triangle as the [[EskimosArentReal mythological North Dakota]].
194	* ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012'': In "Snow Day", the team goes to a remote island for some [[BeachEpisode fun on the beach]].

198	* ''WesternAnimation/PegPlusCat'': This is the subject of "The Bermuda Triangle Problem", in which the Pig, who is obsessed with triangles, goes into it and finds it to be a world full of triangles. Peg and Cat have to convince him to come out before the portal in which they're all trapped closes and he gets stuck there forever.
