I had read about the Vile Vortices years ago since I am into the paranormal, and they are about 12 supposed areas around the globe that are said to contain geological anomalies, Bermuda Triangle type shit. It's a well chosen theory used in such a good way lol. Vile Vortices refers to a claim that there are twelve roughly evenly distributed geographic areas that are alleged by Ivan Sanderson to have the same mysterious qualities[specify] popularly associated with the Bermuda Triangle.[citation needed] The best-known of these are the Bermuda Triangle itself, the Devil's Sea near Japan and the South Atlantic Anomaly.[citation needed] Paul Begg, in a series of articles for The Unexplained magazine, criticized the methodology of writers on the subject of unexplained disappearances. He checked original records of the alleged incidents. Often, he found, the ships which were claimed to have 'mysteriously disappeared' had a mundane reason for their loss (see for instance Raifuku Maru). Some were lost in storms, although the vortex writers would claim that the weather was fine at the time. In other cases, locations of losses were changed to fit the location of the vortex. Sometimes no record of the ship even existing in the first place was found. If you look at where they are placed on the world grid, I think you'll find things fall into place with regard to one of them being halfway between Australia and the States (The Island) and another in Africa (the Exit point when one turns the frozen donkey wheel)

Do you remember the websites they would put up for the online puzzle? I think the Hanso Foundation one showed cities located in these areas on a map. I'm not sure though.

Speaking of the Hanso foundation, did anyone catch the name of the slave ship captain?

Thought that was a nice touch.
