Yes It is a real geographical are in Atlantic Ocean. read further-
The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a geographical area in the Atlantic Ocean approximately triangular in shape and is famous for its supposed paranormal activities. The Bermuda Triangle is approximately an equilateral traingle with its three corners roughly defined by the islands of Bermuda (one corner) and Puerto Rico near its capital city San Juan (another corner), and near Miami, Florida (a third corner), giving it an area of nearly half a million square miles (1.2 million km²). (Other shapes have been proposed as well as dimensions and borders—see the map at the right and its legend.)
Paranormal Claims:
"A significant number of ships and aircraft have disappeared under highly unusual circumstances."
"Paranormal activity where the known laws of physics are violated."
It has even been suggested that "extraterrestrial beings are responsible for some of the disappearances."
The Triangle marks a corridor of the north Atlantic stretching northward from the West Indies along the North American seaboard as far as the Carolinas. To take advantage of prevailing winds, ships returning to Europe during the Age of Sail would sail north to the Carolinas before turning east to cross the north Atlantic. This pattern continued after the development of steam and internal combustion engines, meaning that much of the north Atlantic shipping traffic crossed (and still crosses) through the Triangle's area.
The Gulf Stream, an area of volatile weather, also passes through the Triangle as it leaves the West Indies. The combination of heavy maritime traffic and tempestuous weather made it inevitable that vessels would founder in storms and be lost without a trace—especially before the telecommunications, radar and satellite technology of the late twentieth century. The occasional vessel still sinks, but rarely without a trace.
Other areas often purported to possess unusual characteristics are the Devil's Sea, located near Japan, and the Marysburgh Vortex (or "Great Lakes Triangle"), located in eastern Lake Ontario. However, the "Devil's Sea" is not particularly well known in Japan, due to the fact that most of the boats lost were small fishing boats with no radios.-

Its real. There is nothing paranormal or mysterious about it though. The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where a number of aircraft and surface vessels allegedly disappeared mysteriously. Popular culture has attributed these disappearances to the paranormal or activity by extraterrestrial beings.[1] Documented evidence indicates that a significant percentage of the incidents were inaccurately reported or embellished by later authors, and numerous official agencies have stated that the number and nature of disappearances in the region is similar to that in any other area of ocean.

A large number of sites give credence to the mystery theory. Visit the following sites. However, there is one study reported in http://www.unmuseum.org/triangle.htm, which tries to demystify the mystery.
