146.1Any Old Spot...INK::KALLISMon Jul 21 1986 16:168
    I've seen "proofs" that there are mother "strange" regions, including
    Lake Superior, the southwestern deserts, and the agonic line.
    Actually, most regions can have as "strange" a series of events
    as depicted in the Bermuda/Devilo's Triangle, if your research and
    reporting are as sloppy. :-)

146.2Lots of QuestionsPROSE::WAJENBERGMon Jul 21 1986 17:338
    What are the strange events that supposedly happen in the Bridgewater
    Triangle?  the southwestern deserts? Lake Superior?  Are they all
    strange disappearances, like in the Bermuda Triangle?
    
    While we're at it, what is the "agonic line"?  Just to round things
    out, what's a Ley line?  (Ignorance knows no bounds.)

146.3A Few AnswersINK::KALLISMon Jul 21 1986 17:5625
    re .2:
    
    The "incidents" I alluded to were all supposed to be mysterious
    disappearances (aircraft in the deserts, boats and ships in Lake
    Superior); most apparently were sloppy reporting or research.
    
    I don't know about the Bridgewater Triangle.
    
    The agonic line is ththe locus of points on the surface of the Earth
    where a compass points to true North.  You might have seen on
    navigation maps that there is a coompass rose offset from true North:
    this is because the magnetic north pole is somewhere in northern
    Canada, not at the geographic pole.  Everything to the east of the
    agonic line makes the compasses point west of true north and those
    to the west make the compasses point due east.
    
    Ley lines, briefly (they might well have a note of their own) are
    lines found on land (often meadow [=lea=ley]) that apparently have
    a "power" component in some systems of belief.  Some modern-day
    druids use ley lines for locating their equivalent of "powwer spots";
    some say ley lines _connect_ power spots.  (I'm not a real expert
    on ley lines; they're very evident in Britain.)
