A MYSTERIOUS area in Alaska has a history of eerie occurrences, bizarre disappearances, and even UFO activity as it’s somehow remained under the radar of the public eye.

The Alaskan Triangle is located in Alaska, precisely between Juneau, Anchorage, and the town of Barrow.

The place has been linked with the vanishings of over 20,000 people since the 1970s, which have inspired all manner of theories, from UFOs to Bigfoot and sasquatch creatures terrorizing the area.

The triangle is made up of boreal forests, tundra, and icy peaks, lending itself to all manner of speculations and dangers.

In the area, four out of 1,000 individuals go missing, a rate that doubles the national average, per the Travel Channel.

Given that the area has a low population, these numbers are all the more striking.

There have also been UFO sightings, with witnesses claiming to have seen “very strange” triangular objects floating that didn’t look or sound like aircraft, reports the History Channel.

“It’s like everything you’ve ever been taught has gone out of the window, because how is that possible?” said the witness, named Wes Smith.

While tourists and hikers often disappear, the Alaskan Triangle has been linked with some notorious aircraft disappearances.

Most recently, in February 2025, a flight carrying 10 people vanished in thin air near the area of the creepy region.

In 1950, a military aircraft disappeared in the area, carrying an eight-man crew and 36 passengers.

A search was mounted but nothing was ever found.

Something similar occurred in 1972 when the private plane of US House Majority Leader Hale Boggs went missing.

A 39-day search was mounted, one of the largest endeavors ever to take place, but there were no traces of passengers or the plane ever found.

People who have been missing over the years include Gerald DeBerry, a mountain rescuer and expert in the area who disappeared after volunteering for a search effort.

Shanna Oman, an Alaska native, also disappeared after visiting a friend in 2019.

The legends of the Sasquatch have been reinforced by mysterious occurrences, including the killing of villagers at a settlement called Portlock, in the 1950s.

It’s believed that the locals were killed by an unknown creature, which they began calling the Nantinaq.

Some experts believe the paranormal is attracted to Alaska due to how sparse it is.

“With so much fantastic habitat and so few people to compete with, Sasquatches basically have the run of Alaska,” said cryptozoologist Cliff Barackman to The Daily Star.

Despite plenty of speculation and discussion, the mysteries that surround the Alaskan Triangle remain unexplained and just as puzzling as they’ve always been.
