"The Alaska Triangle is one of the most frightening and mysterious places on earth. Not only does it have 33,000 miles of coast and 3 million lakes, but more than 16,000 people have disappeared without a trace over the last 30 years..."

The quote above is pretty alarming, and I was excited to start this one, to learn more about some of these mysterious disappearances. Unfortunately, Alaska's Mysterious Triangle turned out to be a very badly written book. More below.

Mike Ricksecker:


I am admittedly a bit of a sucker for books about real-life mysteries, exploration, and the unknown, so I put this one on my list when I came across it. I have watched a few YouTube videos about some of the more notable Alaskan disappearances, and thought that this book might provide a further examination into them, and more.

The Alaskan "Triangle:"



While some of these cases are covered, sadly, they are only really summarily touched on. The meat and potatoes of the book could be more accurately described as pseudoscientific nonsense and mumbo-jumbo.
Alarm bells went off early on for me, as there was lots of talk about Earth's "energy." Most of the book is seriously lacking any semblance of scientific rigour.

I was hoping the book would have been more of a factual telling of the people who disappeared there, as this subject matter is pretty rich enough on its own. Instead of focusing on these mysterious disappearances, the author takes a sharp turn, and veers way off into left field, where the book remains for the duration.

He's got extensive talk of nonsense like "interdimensional phasing," "Shadow entities," "interdimensional beings," and "telluric currents opening dimensional portals"; among other assorted whacky woo-woo. It became absurd at points.
The "proof" offered of this nonsense was the author using dowsing rods. Yes, really.

There are also countless examples of completely ridiculous statements that run contrary to any established empirical science. For example, he says: "Exposure to unusually high EMF can create a sense of dread in a person or a feeling of being watched." I'm not sure if the author is aware of this, but EMFs are virtually everywhere, always. The entire EMF spectrum; from radio waves to Gamma waves - is being beamed throughout the cosmos in all directions, at all times.
TBH, I'm not even sure if most of these people who toss the term around all the time even understand what EMFs are in the first place...

Finally, all pseudoscientific nonsense aside; the book is just not written very well. I was not a fan of the author's writing style, or the formatting.

********************

I didn't like this one and would definitely not recommend it.
1 star, and off to the return bin.

Many people have heard of the Bermuda Triangle or the Devil's Triangle, but not many have probably heard of the mysterious triangle in Alaska. I stumbled across this book as a recommendation from Amazon after finding another book about a mysterious town in Alaska where everyone just disappeared. That town falls inside this mysterious triangle. This book brings all sorts of interesting stories of the unknown that fall inside this mysterious triangle from ghosts, to mysterious disappearances and cryptoid creatures seen in the area. It is an interesting and quick read, but it did leave me wanting to know more about this geographical area. On the hunt for more information!

There was a bit of everything in this one. Touches on different topics, time warps, shadow people, ghost, nephilim, giants and a few cryptids. Nothing really ground breaking I didn't already know but was still a very interesting fun read.

Alaska's Unique Triangle Strangeness

This was a wonderful book about the unique Alaska Triangle. I had never heard of the triangle until the Travel Channel show debut two years ago. It quickly became a favorite. While the Bermuda Triangle is the most known, there are also the Bridgewater Triangle, the Dragon, or Pacific Triangle and the Alaskan Triangle. In the last 30 years, over 16 thousand people have gone missing, mysterious crashes, UFO sightings, giants, cryptids, ghosts, disappearing ships, planes and more happen , more frequently, yet Bermuda gets more press.
The author gives an overview of the major types of occurrences, with interesting comments. A number of well known experts have appeared on the show, including the author, but the author had lived in Alaska for a number of years. There is enough strangeness for fans of different types of unusual phenomena. Photos are included as well. Among the more famous happenings mentioned are; The Princess Sophia disappearance, Alaska's haunted hotels, the Japanese JAL flight that reported a UFO, the disappearance of the Boggs and Begitch flight, the Port Chatham Hairy Man (my personal favorite), and more. The author also narrates the audio book and does a wonderful job. Hopefully more books will be coming regarding this fascinating subject. If you enjoy this book, be sure to check out the Alaska Triangle show on Travel Channel and Discovery plus streaming.

The real length of this book is 233, not 230 pages.
