Talk:Marysburgh vortex

April 2006
I am a bit puzzled here... I have been trying to gather some more information on the Marysburgh Vortex and the "Great Lakes Triangle" phenomenon and so I checked my usual first source, Wikipedia. What I have found is that this article seems to be missing many facts which are out there to support the "vortex" phenomenon while citing indents like that of the Speedy which did not even occur in the area being discussed - the Sophiasburgh Triangle is actually at the opposite end of [Prince Edward County] and although possibly related is not even actually connected, and probably shoudl have its own article if sufficient data can be complied. If there are no objections, I am going to attempt to expand/clarify the article over the next little while with any information I can gather from local sources (I reside in the area) and online information.--CokeBear 21:19, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Completed First Revision
I completed a first revision of the article, adding some details and expanding and cleaning up as required. I plan to make a trip to the local marine museum to attempt to gather more details to add to the article. I have not been able to actually find sources for some of the information which already existed but I did not remove it as some sources listed were not available online so I could not verify them - hopefully a trip to the library will provide me with some additional data. If I have made any typos or errors, please correct them or let me know --CokeBear 06:03, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Facts people... facts
Many parts of the article are pure nonsense. I have deleted the whole section on the Sophiasburgh Triangle which is a good 100 miles away. And what's that thing about Gananoque being a UFO spaceport?!? Pascal.Tesson 18:16, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, now, I haven't been here in a while but someone posted on my user page about this article and I had to come. Something of this nature is naturally speculation and impossible to be supported by anything BUT anecdotal evidence. If you insist on "facts", perhaps you should also be attacking the articles dealing with Greek Mythology as total nonsense? Your comments and additions are unfortunately misdirected. The "Vortex" is most likely a complete myth with only a miniscule chance that anything even vaguely extranormal is involved and I stated so in my edits. However, there are people who believe Gananoque is a UFO spaceport, and people who believe that the Vortex is supernatural. There are also people who believe Jesus was exactly as described in the Bible, shall we pick a fight with them too? The idea of the article is to document the beliefs that people have, recount the mythology involved and the events that led to those beliefs, and to present scientific or "rational" explanations where available. It is about a modern myth, not exclusively about what is supported by scientific studies.--CokeBear 22:21, 5 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree with Pascal on his remarks. We have three alleged incidents of a paranormal occurence taking place in the Marysburgh Triangle, but no substantial evidence to verify these claims.  There is little dispute over the dangerous nature of the area to historical sailors, but allegations of supernatural influences need to be supported in some way.  —Preceding comment was added by 99.242.233.33 (talk) 15:06, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
