I'm not 100% sure if any of the accounts of aircraft going missing in the area are fictitious or not. If at least some of the accounts of aircraft going missing in the area are true, it would require a little more explanation than just freak waves. which is why statistics can come in handy.

Also, he('Dr Karl' mentioned in the article) noted that the Bermuda Triangle, which is one of the most heavily trafficked parts of any ocean, doesn't actually see a statistically unlikely rate of disappearances. “According to Lloyds of London and the US coast guard, the number of planes that go missing in the Bermuda Triangle is the same as anywhere in the world on a percentage basis,” Dr Karl told News.com.

They're not fictitious, but high according to statistics. And sudden tropical storms and compasses being diverted during blind flight likely explains that. Also it's higher frequented than let's say some areas in the pacific near the antarctic. It's all about numbers, but waves don't down aircraft.
