Just like Bermuda Triangle Devil’s sea, a region located near South Tokyo in the Pacific Ocean has been in the limelight since many years for unsolved occurrences of disappearing of ships.

For ages Japanese fishermen have been disappeared to the waters of ‘Devil’s sea’. In recent times many modern ships and aircraft have mysteriously become prey to these deadly waters too, some vanishing with no trace.

After all the paranormal incidences of vanishing of the ships and people, the Japanese local named the sea as “MA-NO UMI” which means “Sea of the devil”.

Similarly, “Dragon” in the name comes from the Chinese legend about dragon’s existence below the water surface. As per these, the dragons beneath attack the vessels crossing over to appease their hunger. These stories are said to be coined before the AD period – 1000 BC era.

As per the theories, Kublai Khan, the fifth Great Khan of the Mongol Kingdom and the grandson of Genghis Khan tried invading Japan in 1274 and 1281 AD. But, in these both the shots, he was unsuccessful after losing his vessels and 40,000 crew members aboard in this triangular area because of the storms. The Japanese believed that these were God sent obstacles to protect them from the enemies. Later, backing this legend, the divers and marine archaeologists discovered the remnants of the Mongol task force from the location.

According to another theory, a mysterious lady was seen sailing in the Devil’s sea in the early 1800s. The vessel as per the legend looked like a traditional Japanese equipment for burning incense. However, the identity and the destination for this vessel remains a mystery.

Despite of few scientific theories and the myths around the sites’s existence, this mysterious place is an evidence that a few wonders in the world are far beyond our control.
