The Devil’s Sea

The Devil’s Sea (or Dragon’s Triangle, whichever happens to sound the most dark and ominous for you) is an area of the Pacific Ocean as riddled with strange happenings as its Atlantic counterpart near Bermuda. Located off the coast of Japan, it has been the site of countless claims of unexplained phenomena including magnetic anomalies, inexplicable lights and objects, and of course, mysterious disappearances.

The area is even considered a danger by Japanese fishing authorities. There are plenty of horrifying stories about the area, but we’ll leave it at one. Apparently back in 1952, the Japanese government sent out a research vessel, the Kaio Maru No. 5, to investigate the mysteries of the Devil’s Sea. Naturally, of course, the Kaio Maru No. 5 and its crew of 31 people were never seen again. Now, who wants to go for a swim?
