Sanderson first coined the term “Vile Vortices” in his article “The Twelve Devil’s Graveyards Around the World,” published in Saga magazine in 1972. Sanderson, a naturalist, and paranormal investigator, originally plotted these anomalies. The Vile Vortices are twelve equidistant vertex points on a planetary grid. The Bermuda Triangle most likely being the most famous of the vortexes.

We know that there are areas in which strange, possibly even paranormal phenomena, disappearances, and disturbing tales seem to be commonplace. To this day, scientists are not exactly sure how vile vortices work or why they happen. For this article, though, I’ll concentrate on the 12 identified vortices and give an example of one of the smaller vortices.

In fact, there are 12 places collectively called the Vile Vortices, and like their more famous sibling, they all hold some rather creepy secrets. There are smaller vortices, too. Maybe you are asking, “What is a vile vortex?” You’ve heard the chilling stories about the Bermuda Triangle, right? Well, there are several other mysterious places where ships and planes seem to vanish.
