Survey: 41% Believe Bermuda Triangle is Dangerous


bernews - 41% of people believe that the Bermuda Triangle is a danger, according to tests done on Queendom.com. The company says the results come from collecting data from “over 20,000 people from all walks of life.”

The Bermuda Triangle seems to be intricately linked with Bermuda for many people. Countless Bermudians when traveling abroad have said they are from Bermuda and faced the “Oh…the Bermuda triangle” response.

Popular culture has attributed disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle to the paranormal, however documented evidence indicates that some incidents were inaccurately reported or embellished by later authors, and official agencies have stated that the disappearances in the region is similar to that in any other area of ocean.

Queendom.com say their data also revealed interesting differences among ethnic groups. Native Americans, who have a rich history and a deep respect for spiritual matters, were the group that believed the most strongly in the paranormal. Those from the Middle East scored highest in religious belief and belief in witchcraft, while Native Americans outscored the rest of the ethnic groups in belief in the afterlife (average score of 71), folklore/myths/legends (54), fate (66), psychics (68), and telekinesis (56). Latinos believed the most strongly in Aliens and UFOs, while the concept of karma was more widely accepted by the African American/African/Caribbean group. Finally, although the average score for superstitious beliefs was actually quite low (23), it was the Jewish group that took the top score, with 30.

NOTE: I really don't know what to make of the incidents that supposedly occur in this area but it's in the back of my mind when I travel through it. I lean towards a more natural explanation as opposed to paranormal activity but some of the evidence is intriguing. Honestly, the survey results are higher than I would expect though, the hype definitely had an influence on the final results...Lon

NOTE: As you may have noticed, I recently added a few 'DONATE' buttons to the blog. When I started 'Phantoms and Monsters' it was made clear that I would not charge for use of the information provided on the blog and the delivery of the daily email newsletter. That policy will continue. Because of the format I use with the blog and the wiki, my expenses are minimal...mostly monthly use fees to keep large and loud corporate banners off the sites as well as a few odds and ends. Of course, I do place some advertising...but most are banners and text links for associates and friends who I am proud to highlight. So, why the 'DONATE" buttons? Well, I'll leave that question up to you to answer. Anyway, 'Phantoms and Monsters' is a labor of love that I hope I can continue for many years. Thanks for reading! I appreciate your support...Lon
