Episode #11: The Bermuda Triangle
In this episode, Alana takes us to the terrifying and mysterious Bermuda Triangle. A triangle with constantly shifting sides, ships and planes galore have disappeared over these relenting waters. Alana takes us through 4 of the mysteries, including missing ships, eerie distress signals, vanishing crews and so much more. Is it the weather? Human error? or maybe even portals to other dimensions? All this and more in our very own Bermuda Triangle!
