strange light

appeared in the distance a few weeks later. Moreover, his compass was not pointing north and there was absolutely eerie stillness in the waters! Scary right? What was in the waters? Sea monsters maybe? Or The Basilisk from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets?!     Hold on for a second now, It’s time for Myth Busters! Researchers say that what Christopher Columbus saw was just an illusion. The “Tentacles” were strong sea weeds and that Columbus was closer to the shore than he anticipated. The reason why his compass was not pointing north was because there’s a difference between magnetic north and true north...His exact location was closer to magnetic north and not true north, thus the magnetic deviations. Another theory as to why the compass was not working is that bright light which Christopher Columbus saw falling into the water was a meteor. Meteors resonate magnetic properties at times thus hampering the compass. But that great light you say? It led to Myth 2. #2 The Devils’ Triangle
