1.’The Bermuda Triangle’ by Charles Berlitz

Published in 1974, Charles Berlitz’s ‘The Bermuda Triangle’ is a renowned paranormal investigation into the mysteries surrounding this infamous region. With over 20 million copies sold in 30 languages, it played a pivotal role in popularising the notion of the Bermuda Triangle as a mysterious vortex notorious for swallowing vessels and aircraft whole.

Berlitz’s meticulous research involved interviews with numerous individuals who had encountered the eerie forces of the Bermuda Triangle. He presented various perplexing cases, including the vanishing of Flight 19 and the USS Cyclops, accompanied by diverse theories and speculations seeking to elucidate these baffling incidents.

Among his wide-ranging hypotheses, Berlitz even ventured to suggest that the Bermuda Triangle might be a haunting remnant of the lost city of Atlantis. While the book garnered mixed reviews upon its release, it remains a cornerstone in the ongoing fascination with the enigma of the Bermuda Triangle. Additionally, the book served as the source material for a 1978 theatrical film and a 1979 documentary, further solidifying its cultural impact.

2. ‘The Bermuda Triangle Mystery Solved’ by Larry Kusche

Following Charles Berlitz’s footsteps, Larry Kusche provides a thorough and sceptical analysis of the well-known Bermuda Triangle phenomena, dissecting and scrutinising various incidents of disappearance within this enigmatic region.

In his 1975 publication, ‘The Bermuda Triangle Mystery Solved,’ Kusche, a former reference librarian, meticulously collected information on these accidents from diverse sources, including newspapers, the Coast Guard, the Air Force, and Lloyd’s of London.

Through rigorous research, Kusche unveils the facts and rational explanations behind these seemingly ‘mysterious’ incidents. He argues that these events can be attributed to human error, natural occurrences, or inconsistencies in the reported accounts.

Beyond a mere investigation into the unknown, Kusche’s work unfolds as a compelling case history of a “fabricated mystery” in the making. Frequently highlighting errors in Charles Berlitz’s work, Kusche illustrates how official accident reports, newspaper stories, articles in mainstream publications, and hearsay have collectively contributed to the creation of a false mystery over the years.
