The whole planet has a magnetic pull. You can prove this by playing with a compass. The earths magnetic field is what makes the needle spin. The magnetic field as a whole is very strong, but in a small, localized area, the earth's magnetic pull appears weak. In a localized area a small refrigerator magnet is many time more powerful in terms of pull.

There's a magnetic field everywhere around the earth. It's strongest at the magnetic poles, where it points directly in/out of the ground.

The earth's core is what produces magnetic pull. It can be felt everywhere, but the two strongest points are going to be the north and south poles.

The strongest magnetic pull that the earth has is the North pole. Of course it would be located in north. thats why compasses always point north. So people think its due to all the iron deposits that up there.

Well, I don't know about these people, but I have heard that the Bermuda Triangle has some kind of magnetism.

Just about everywhere otherwise compasses would not work.
