You have certainly
heard of the Bermuda Triangle and its mystery disasters, but have you ever heard
of the Alaska Triangle where people's disappearances rate is double the US national
average?
Since 1970, 20,000
people vanished without a trace in the area between Juneau, Anchorage, and
Barrow in Alaska.
The under-populated
area is also home to disturbing paranormal activity including a monster,
locally called Nantinaq, which reportedly attacked and killed villagers in
Portlock on the southern edge of Kenai in the 50s.
Conspiracy theorists
linked the mass disappearance of pilots, hikers, and locals in the region to Bigfoot
and aliens; Field Researcher Ken Gerhard told the History Channel that the area
was a “vile vortice” with intense electromagnetic force.
“The theory is that
these particular areas are supercharged with geo electromagnetic energy and
that abundance of electromagnetic energy results in some strange things,” he
said.
However, a new
Discovery documentary questioned locals about bizarre paranormal activities
they had witnessed and some accounts were for the least shocking.
Wes Smith recalled
seeing “very strange” triangular objects hovering in the sky without a sound.
“It’s like everything
you’ve ever been taught has gone out of the window, because how is that
possible?”
Debbie Ziegelmeyer
suggested that the very sparse population in the area makes it “attractive” to
aliens.
“They can pretty much go where they want. That’s the
attraction of Alaska.”
