Sanderson theorized that hot and cold air and sea currents crossing these lozenge-shaped areas might create the electromagnetic anomalies responsible for the disappearances of planes and sea-going vessels and the reported mechanical and instrument malfunctions in these areas. Together the Vile Vortices form the vertices of an icosahedron (a 20-faced polyhedron) 3. The remaining two Vile Vortices are located at the North and South Poles. Ten of SandersonвЂ™s Vile Vortices are located in the earthвЂ™s tropical climates five of them fall within the Tropic of Cancer and the other five within the Tropic of Capricorn. In the late 60вЂ™s he focused his attention on ten areas that were approximately equidistant and were the subjects of reported unexplained incidents and/or electro-magnetic distortions 2. Sanderson, the founder of the Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained, was avidly interested in investigating ship and plane disappearances linked to the paranormal. However, each of these twelve geographic areas is credited with instances of magnetic anomalies and other unexplained phenomena. The best-known Vile Vortices are the Bermuda Triangle, the DragonвЂ™s Triangle (Devil's Sea), and the South Atlantic Anomaly. Sanderson first coined the term, вЂњVile VorticesвЂќ 1 in his article вЂњThe Twelve DevilвЂ™s Graveyards Around the WorldвЂќ (Saga magazine, 1972). Sanderson, a naturalist and paranormal investigator.
