The Dragons Triangle: A More Mysterious Triangle



Just like the Bermuda Triangle, the Dragons Triangle is a place of many mysteries and strange disappearances. Planes go missing, ships go missing, and even entire ship crews seem to have abandoned their vessels while it remains afloat. There are also stories of submarines that have vanished from the face of the earth here. 

You got to remember, this is not the Bermuda Triangle. This is the Dragons Triangle that lies off the southern coast of Japan. For the record, its 500 square miles of nothing but water and still to this day much of it remains unexplored. If you were to compare the two, they both have practically the same mystery and legend about them. The Dragons Triangle is just far less known as the Bermuda. However, far more ships have disappeared in the Dragons Triangle. It makes you wonder why isn't it more well known.Witnesses have accounted that strange flying objects and weird lights frequently are flying out of the water. Even ghost ship sightings that appear to be completely void of any sign of people are known to be seen. Sounds a lot like an abduction doesn't it? Aliens anyone?The strange occurrences, vanishings, and sightings have not just happened recently. For thousands of years ships have been lost somewhere within the depths of the Dragons Triangle. In essence, this has been going on for a very long time. So does that mean there really is something behind it? I don't know.Do you think the Bermuda and Dragons Triangle could be related somehow? Is it just some scientific anomaly like underwater volcanoes or rogue waves causing all of this or is it something more? 


Legends dating back to c.1000 BC tell of underwater palaces inhabited by dragons and of a great slumbering dragon which lived in the cavern beneath the sea." (Ade Dimmick - MysteryMag) Hence the name: Dragon's Triangle. The disappearance of aircraft, large maritime vessels, and fishing boats was occurring at such a high rate that Japanese authorities officially declared it a 'shipping danger zone' in 1950.
In 1952, the Japanese government sent out a research ship called the Kaio Maru No. 5 to find answers to the mystery surrounding this area.
Unfortunately, the crew of this ship suffered the same mysterious fate they set out to find answers to. Twenty-two crewmen and nine scientist were gone forever adding to the several hundred other lives that have been lost in the Dragon's Triangle.



What phenomena could be causing all of this craziness?

Oak Island Money Pit....????

Te story of the Oak Island Money Pit is a mystery and adventure in the grand tradition of swashbuckling epics. It's also a tale of tragedy, failure and perhaps even stupidity.
But what if I told you that the treasure pit was, to date, almost 200 feet deep, protected by an elaborate set of booby traps (underground channels to an ocean beach over 500 feet away), has been the subject of countless excavations since 1795, costing millions of dollars, and the death place of six treasure hunters, and they still haven’t found the treasure…  If you answer: "That’s the treasure pit at Oak Island", you are correct!
The story of the Oak Island treasure pit is fascinating and complex. It is a story of mystery, greed, controversy and very little humour. The Oak Island treasure has been sought by many individuals and corporations for over 200 years.  It has attracted all strata of explorer from: the three teenagers who first discovered the site; to Franklin D. Roosevelt, a former US President, whose company Old Gold Salvage group searched in 1909; to the swash-buckling actor Errol Flynn who wanted to search Oak Island in 1940, but was discouraged when he found the search rights belonged to a company owned by fellow actor John Wayne.
The story of the Oak Island Treasure Pit has been written about in numerous books.  To date the treasure has not been uncovered, but tantalizing glimpses of what are purported to be part of the treasure have been reported. The following are a sample of some of the theories on who buried the treasure on Oak Island:
  • the most popular theory is that of the early 18th century pirate Captain Kidd, who frequently visited the region of Oak Island for rest and relaxation and to repair his ships. He seemed to have a habit of burying part of the treasure he plundered far and wide.
  • the most bizarre theory is that the treasure is the original works of William Shakespeare/ Sir Francis Bacon buried on the site in the late 16th century. This theory is based on the evidence of a piece of parchment paper brought up from the pit by one of the treasure hunters.
  • equally strange is the theory of the crown jewels of France which went missing in 1791 and were said to have been smuggled to Louisburg (north of Oak Island in Cape Breton). Since Louisburg was frequently attacked by the British when the French owned it, the jewels were considered unsafe and were transported to Oak Island.

The theories go on but no one knows for sure the origin of the Treasure Pit.
