The first use of the term was in a 1964 article that was published in 'Argosy' by Vincent Gaddis called 'The Deadly Bermuda Triangle'.

Then in 1974, two books were published, 'The Bermuda Triangle' by Charles Berlits and 'The Devil's Triangle' by Richard Winer. These books turned out to be very popular and the idea caught on, making this an excellent subject to sell books and magazines. These two books were the source for the popular terms.

Since that time, many stories and urban legends have been told about this area; there seems to be no end to the fanciful spin that people enjoy with these stories. But the fact is, the Bermuda Triangle area is one of the most popular and heavily travelled areas of the western world. Every cruise ship that sails out of Miami sails into the Triangle. Everyone who lives in and travels by plane or ship between Bermuda, Miami, Peurto Rico and the Bahamas travels through the Bermuda Triangle. So, it's safe to say that the Bermuda Triangle is a myth; but you are free to enjoy the stories if it suits you.
