* Lampshaded in ''The Takers'' by Jerry Ahern when a CIA agent comments regarding the ship carrying the [[MacGuffin Gladstone Log]], "And yeah, it went down in the Bermuda Triangle, but that's a load of crap."

* ''Manga/OnePiece'' had the Florian Triangle which is full of fog and many ships are said to have disappeared. The Straw Hats eventually find out that an island ship called Thriller Bark was responsible for this and put a halt to it. However, the end of the story arc reveals that the disappearances started long before Thriller Bark arrived and three enormous shapes are shown looming in the fog.
** Several years before this, anime {{Filler}} had independently placed a time-warping EldritchLocation called "Apes' Concert" (aka the Rainbow Mist) on the Grand Line. The Bermuda connection here [[GeniusBonus is a lot more obtuse]]: "Apes' Concert" is inspired by the Japanese pronunciation of "Sargasso" (''saru gassō'').

* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'': Themyscira (a.k.a. Paradise Island), the native home of Diana and her sister Amazons, is sometimes located in the Bermuda Triangle, but the island can teleport to any location or time whenever the island's inhabitants desire. [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 Pre-Crisis]], it was in the Bermuda Triangle all the time. Although the Franchise/DCUniverse is generally a FantasyKitchenSink, it was acknowledged in-story that this was a coincidence and the area is not actually paranormal.

* ''Series/TheHardyBoysNancyDrewMysteries'' episode ''The Mysterious Fate of Flight 608'' subverts this to pieces. The Hardys board a plane that will be flying over the infamous area; Joe finds out about the flight path from a scared passenger and freaks out, though Frank scoffs at the idea, saying science has debunked the whole thing. But the plane runs into trouble: a hurricane hits, the pilots collapse, Frank ends up crash-landing the plane into the ocean, and the passengers take refuge on a deserted island, with the scared passenger saying they're now in another dimension and lost for good. Psych! [[spoiler:Nothing mysterious about it -- the pilots were drugged by a diamond smuggler, and the island is within spitting-distance of Bermuda, with rescue crews heading their way.]]

* In ''Splashdown: Rides Gone Wild'', one of the tracks is Bermuda Blast. In the beginning, it's displayed as a short track set surrounded by tropical islands under sunny weather. Once the player nearly reaches the end of the lap, they're warped to a stormy open ocean world where lost and wrecked ships and airplanes clutter the map and new ones spawn from the sky. Near the end of the final lap, the player warps back to the sunny island world to end the race there.

* In ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' many of Scrooge [=McDuck=]'s ships were disappearing in the Triangle. Scrooge points out how well-traveled the area is and sets out to find his fleet. He finds it, along with other ships, trapped in a huge mass of seaweed.

* ''Literature/TheMer'': The Big Gathering of Mer is held in a different place each year, but every few years they hold it in the Bermuda Triangle. A lot of people have drowned there[[note]]Drowning is how humans become Mer[[/note]] and humans tend to avoid it, so a large number of Mer have made their home there.

* ''Literature/EmperorMolluskVersusTheSinisterBrain'': The Bermuda Triangle was originally the location of early nuclear testing. In a one in a million chances, this created a stable time anomaly that has populated the area with [[LostWorld dinosaurs]] and mutants resulting from the radiation. After becoming Emperor, Mollusk had since started to use the area as a dumping ground for old inventions he had no use for, confident that the anomaly would protect them.

* In ''Literature/EmperorMolluskVsTheSinisterBrain'', the Bermuda Triangle is the site of a spatial anomaly that would have eventually destroyed the Earth, but Mollusk stabilizes it and uses the focal point (on an island) to hide his MadScientistLaboratory in the (mistaken) belief that no-one can get access to it.

* ''Literature/TheMer'': The Big Gathering of Mer is held in a different place each year, but every few years they hold it in the Bermuda Triangle. A lot of people have drowned there, and humans tend to avoid it, so a large number of Mer have made their home there.
