Probably the most common reason airplanes 'mysteriously' disappear over the Bermuda triangle is due to how easy it is to get lost and how unpredictable the weather is over there.

Unpredictable enough to be right smack dab in the middle of a major leyline intersection.

wat?

You know! The Ley Lines!




And now for the Bermuda Example:

Spoiler

See what I mean?
Not condusive to safe weather for flying in a rickety bucket of bolts built before the late 60s.

EDIT: When the lines come together, those are called a ley line intersection as germaine as that might be, these intersections are each a energy fountain in the shape of a vortex. (In the shape of a vortex because that's how electricity works, it spins. And an energy fountain because the earth radiates a magnetic field, and there are lines of this field that can be calculated. Now this is considered psuedoscience, but it's hard to ignore the man with the coral castle in Florida.)

EDITEDITEDIT: Even though he's deceased.

About 7 or 8 years ago my friends and I were driving home from a late night movie. We were driving up a hill, and there was this weird blue flash/wave that went through the sky. It was weird because it was extremely blue, but it wasn't bright at all, so it didn't illuminate anything. As the wave went past the street lights they would all go out. It seemed that all the power in the town went out, but the car we were in was just fine. It wasn't a scary paranormal type experience or anything, but I've never seen anything else like it. Other than my 2 friends, I've never met anyone else that's witnessed anything like this.

The only other paranormal type experience I've had is when I was about 8 or 9. It was in the middle of summer and my sister and I decided to sleep outside in the front yard in hammocks we made by tying sheets to branches of a big tree. Sleeping in the front yard with no fence or anything definitely seems like a big kidnapping risk, but I don't think my sister and I informed our parents that we were doing this, so they can't be blamed for letting us do something so stupid. Anyway, I woke up at about 2 or 3 in the morning and I was extremely frightened and I didn't know why. I didn't hear a voice in my head exactly, but I got a thought in my head that was telling me to get up and go inside immediately. When I got out of my hammock, my sister was already out of hers and she also looked extremely scared. She grabbed my arm and then we ran into the house. I told her about how I had the thought in my head telling me to go inside right then, and she told me she had a very similar thought that was something along the lines of "Don't worry, Paul's already awake. Go inside now." So, that was pretty freaky since we both had essentially the same experience at the same time. I have no idea if we were actually in any sort of danger, but we sure as hell didn't try spending the night in the front yard ever again. As for the explanation as to what happened; I really don't know. If such a thing as guardian angels exists, maybe that's what happened. Or maybe our intuition/spider sense kicked in due to some impending but unknown danger.

I had a strange experience once when some friends and I visited the beach. On this particular trip, we thought it would be nice if we all had matching towels. After about an hour or so of swimming and general hanging out, one of my friends decided to check out what was underneath this dock that was nearby. He went under the dock (which was kind of dark, since it was about 5pm then) and near the shallow end of the water, he saw what he thought was a rock. Upon closer inspection he found that it really wasn't a rock at all. It was a Rock Lobster.

"Relative protection", to coin a punny term.
I believe that in some cases a dead relative is relatively trying to protect you with some bizarre form of Spider-sense, like how you mentioned.

In the shape of a vortex because that's how electricity works, it spins.

Wat. No. That's not how electricity works, at all.

When I was 19 God cracked my Metallica Garage Inc. CDs in half while I was sleeping to convince me that he actually does exist. It didn't work

Maybe he was just trying to tell you that their newer stuff is crap.

this proll isn't "paranormal" but Juja's post about him and his sister both thinking the same thing reminded me of this:

when i was 10 or 11 my younger brother and I thought we had invented a new sport where we chased each other around the yard hitting a soccer ball with metal baseball bats - a cross between soccer, hockey and baseball.

We were playing this game one afternoon in our yard when i went to swing really hard at the ball, attempting to hit it out of the yard (a goal), at the same time my younger bro-ski, Alex, went for the ball too. i missed the ball and instead cracked him really hard in the head with the metal bat. It was almost like taking a golf swing at someone's head with a metal baseball bat.

He immediately fell to the ground and put his hands up to his face. Being the big sister that I am I told him to get up and that he was being a baby but he just lay there. So I pulled his hands from his face but his face was covered in blood. I ran into my house and told my granny and father what had just happened ("DAAAAAD! I just hit Alex in the head with a bat!!!!). My dad came out to the yard with me to inspect my brother, who was still on the ground, and once he saw Alex's face he picked him up and put him the car and we took him to the ER.

-meanwhile-
during this time my mother was out grocery shopping. As she was leaving the checkout with her paid-for groceries she said a horrible feeling came over her. She just felt like something was wrong. She felt it so strongly that she just left her groceries at the store and drove home. When she got home she rushed inside and my granny told her what happened. This is all pre-cellphones mind you.

it's not like intuition or maybe it is....but my mother felt so strongly that something was wrong that she just walked away from a cart full of groceries that she had just purchased, without even hesitating. She didn't even realize she had left them until she got to the hospital. She says something told her to GO NOW.

my brother ended up being totally fine (no brain damage thank gawd - though my bro-ski is still an idiot) but he does have a long scar from my hit right between his eyebrows. ironically my mother has an almost identical scar between her eyebrows from a bicycle accident she had as a kid.

Also my brother and i never played that game again.

Man, kids do such stupid things. Heh, anyway, I think your story might have some sort of paranormal aspect to it. At least, there's no good explanation as to why your mom would've taken off like that without venturing into things like psychic connections.

The whole psychic connection thing reminds me of a story I heard years ago. I think it was on some tv show about that kind of thing. It was a story about these two twins that must've had some sort of psychic connection. One of them got electrocuted and died, and at the same time and somewhere else the other twin felt like he got shocked and passed out or something. When he woke up he was crying and he said he knew that his brother was dead. I'm probably not remembering the details exactly right since it's been years since I heard the story, but it's pretty interesting if it's true.

Reminds me of this.



Which was the result of some sort of missile test.

I decided to look around to figure out what it was that my friends and I saw. The most likely explanation is that a power transformer blew up. That would also explain why the town's power went out but my friend's car was unaffected. So, I guess that experience wasn't paranormal, but it was definitely out of the ordinary for me. Anyway, I found this video of a transformer blowing up, and it does create a blue flash (36 seconds in):

I guess that's similar to how twins, triplets, etc. can feel that kind of stuff. Pretty weird
