02/21/22 • 38 min

Have you ever heard of the Bermuda Triangle? If you have, it's hard not to have also heard some of the strange theories as to why this area within the Atlantic Ocean has claimed so many ships and airplanes over the years. Could it be aliens?

We'll discuss all of this and more on this special double sized episode of Unspookable.
