41% of people believe that the Bermuda Triangle is a danger, according to tests done on Queendom.com. The company says the results come from collecting data from “over 20,000 people from all walks of life.”
The Bermuda Triangle seems to be intricately linked with Bermuda for many people. Countless Bermudians when traveling abroad have said they are from Bermuda and faced the “Oh…the Bermuda triangle” response.
Popular culture has attributed disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle to the paranormal, however documented evidence indicates that some incidents were inaccurately reported or embellished by later authors, and official agencies have stated that the disappearances in the region is similar to that in any other area of ocean.
Queendom.com say their data also revealed interesting differences among ethnic groups. Native Americans, who have a rich history and a deep respect for spiritual matters, were the group that believed the most strongly in the paranormal. Those from the Middle East scored highest in religious belief and belief in witchcraft, while Native Americans outscored the rest of the ethnic groups in belief in the afterlife (average score of 71), folklore/myths/legends (54), fate (66), psychics (68), and telekinesis (56). Latinos believed the most strongly in Aliens and UFOs, while the concept of karma was more widely accepted by the African American/African/Caribbean group. Finally, although the average score for superstitious beliefs was actually quite low (23), it was the Jewish group that took the top score, with 30.
