Five Navy bombers vanished on a routine training flight in 1945, and so did a rescue plane sent out to find them; the Bermuda Triangle is one of 12 Vile Vortices Ivan Sanderson mapped around the globe, and the oceans have their own sea serpents and ghost ships too.

Located between Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and the tip of Florida, this area has puzzled people for over 100 years. From the spooky disappearance of the USS Cyclops with 306 crew members in 1918 to the more recent sinking of the SS El Faro in 2015, the Bermuda Triangle becomes more mysterious year after year. Tonight we’ll look at some of the strangest events in the Triangle, like Flight 19, which vanished during a routine training mission; and the Witchcraft, a boat that disappeared just minutes after calling for help. We’ll look at other locations around the world similar to the Bermuda Triangle that don’t get the same recognition – but are just as mysterious. And while we’re in the water, we’ll touch on a few ocean ghost stories, and reports of sea monsters. So before we get started, if you tend to get sea sick, you might want to grab your Dramamine.

Tennessee gave Christa Pike two full doses of pentobarbital at Riverbend on Wednesday night, and she was still snoring behind a closed curtain when the witnesses were led out; she's alive in a hospital, the governor has called off the state's last execution of the year and ordered an outside review, and nobody has said whether Tennessee will try again to execute her.

A physicist invents a machine capable of doing the impossible – and makes the mistake of showing it to a Hollywood mogul who immediately sees dollar signs. What begins as a scientific breakthrough soon becomes an experiment neither man can quite control. A man has to have a place to confess a horrible sin … and this is as good as any other!
