Is it just a little made up story like the tooth fairy or is it an actual mysterious place full of voodoo and superstition?

It is true and some researchers found out that flight 19 isn't missing, it's under the water.
Theories
10: A downed 11,000-year-old comet. So, way, way, way back, 11,000 years ago, a comet may or may not have crashed to Earth and landed deep on the ocean floor, right beneath where the Bermuda Triangle lies today. Some theorists speculate that this comet might have strange electromagnetic properties that could disrupt compasses and other navigational tools and even interfere with an aircraft engine.
9: Pirates That's right, pirates. This region, just north of the Caribbean in the Atlantic Ocean, is totally pirate territory. We rest our case. But seriously, piracy really has been a consistent problem in the Triangle for hundreds of years. Now, stir in some good old-fashioned myths about supernatural phenomenon and it's just that much easier for a wily pirate to get away with it .While piracy wouldn't account for the aircraft disappearances, it might explain some of the ships that went missing over the years.
8: Methane hydrates
Deep beneath the surface of the Bermuda Triangle lie pockets of trapped methane gas, just waiting to be unlocked by seismic activity or underwater landslides. If unleashed, the theory goes, this methane gas could bubble to the surface, reducing the density of the water. Any ship in that patch of water would lose its buoyancy and sink perilously. It gets worse: In theory, if enough of the flammable gas bubbled up to the surface and got high, high, high up into the air, it could potentially stall an airplane engine or even be ignited by an engine's spark.
7: Time vortex, aka "electronic fog"
So, this theory arises mostly from a single incident. Here's the story: In 1970, Floridian pilot Bruce Gernon and his father were en route from Andros Island to Bimini Island in the Bahamas when they came across a strange cloud that they say grew exponentially before morphing into a tunnel. Now, would you fly straight into a spinning, tunnel-shaped cloud? Gernon did. He flew into that rotating vortex, he says, only to emerge in a thick "electronic fog" with a white haze surrounding the plane. His compass spun wildly and electrical sparks surrounded him. When the fog finally broke up, Gernon says he found himself miles away from where he expected to be.
