Back in BD, I read in a certain magazine (can't recall the name at present) that several travellers/ship-crew have seen an unknown person or two in a small boat whilst travelling through the infamous triangle. They were supposedly holding a matchstick-or two and begging to be carried on to the ship with them. They believed it to be the spirits of the ill-fated crew that Columbus was in charge of. According to that Magazine, it is called Columbus Curse or something.
But that was years ago and I almost forgot about it. I have turned much more curious about this issue now and will conduct a mini-research on the internet about it. So far I haven't come across anything that resembles my "story". However, here's a thing called Catch-Basin that I found interesting:
The first legends of the Bermuda Triangle begin already with Christopher Columbus. As a captain, he was greatly respected, and his brave sailing efforts helped revolutionize the world. Much of the information we have about Columbus is picked up directly from his journal, so we are able to trace his footsteps to the New World. His first problem occurred as he ran into the Sargasso Sea. t resides in the east of the triangle in the middle of the Atlantic. It houses a few small islands and masses of clumped floating seaweed. A warm water current within it swirls clockwise, affecting the weather of the area, keeping it calm and steamy. Having little wind, this area greatly affects unpowered ships. Christopher Columbus wrote in his diary of this sea. In fact, it so fooled his crew that it almost led them to mutiny. The possibility exists of never leaving this legendary sea. Another fascinating feature of this sea is its ability to draw things in from all over the Atlantic. Some even claim it to be the "catch-basin" of the Atlantic.
The crew was greatly disappointed when seaweed and land birds were sighted, but after a few days no land was to be seen. Soon after, Columbus reported his compass acting strangely. He did not report this to his crew due to their deep superstitions. Days later, Columbus saw a large meteor fall from the sky. He described it as "a large ball of light fallen from the sky." It is unsure whether he mentions this occurrence in awe, because of its great size, or in fright. Later in their trip, Columbus and a few crew members sighted a few dancing lights on the horizon. They wandered about in the Caribbean for over a week yet before sighting land. Since Columbus, as many as 100 ships and planes have been reported missing, taking over 1000 lives.
