Bermuda triangle

  Bermuda Triangle Theories and Counter-Theories The Bermuda Triangle is a mythical section of the Atlantic Ocean roughly bounded by Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico where dozens of ships and airplanes have disappeared. Unexplained circumstances surround some of these accidents, including one in which the pilots of a squadron of U.S. Navy bombers became disoriented while flying over the area; the planes were never found. Other boats and planes have seemingly vanished from the area in good weather without even radioing distress messages. But although myriad fanciful theories have been proposed regarding the Bermuda Triangle, none of them prove that mysterious disappearances occur more frequently there than in other well-traveled sections of the ocean. In fact, people navigate the area every day without incident. By the time author Vincent Gaddis coined the phrase “Bermuda Triangle” in a 1964 magazine article, additional mysterious accidents had occurred in the area, including three passen

The eternal flame falls

  The Eternal Flame Falls is a 30-foot waterfall located in the Shale Creek Preserve, a section of Chestnut Ridge Park in Orchard Park, New York. It's known for the natural gas seeping from a grotto at the base of the falls, which can be ignited to create a small flame. This "eternal flame" is visible most of the year, though it can occasionally be extinguished and needs to be re-lit by visitors. The falls themselves are most impressive in the spring when the water flow is high. During drier times, the flow can be considerably reduced, making the flame the main attraction. The hike to the falls is considered moderately challenging, with a steep descent down to the creek bed.

However, proper footwear and caution are still recommended, especially when the ground is wet or icy. Here are some additional details about the Eternal Flame Falls: Height:  30 feet (9

is kraken real

  These are certainly mythical tales. But  the Kraken legends may have been based on a real creature: the giant squid . Giant squid have long tentacles and can grow up to 40-50 feet in length. They usually live deep in the sea. The Kraken was said to haunt the seas of  Norway, Greenland, and Iceland . Seafarer sightings of the Kraken took place in the 1700s, but it was first recorded by King Sverre of Norway in 1180. Kraken mythology said that the Kraken was a creature so large that it could be mistaken for an island. There have been several reported sightings of mysterious sea creatures over the last hundred years, but  there is no conclusive evidence to suggest that any of these sightings were of the legendary Kraken  or another similar monster.
