History has a new show called. The curse of oak island.
Pretty good show.

I have always been intrigued by this mystery. Haven't seen the show yet. Hope they don't embellish it because the facts are interesting enough.

I agree! I haven't seen the show either, and probably won't, due to scheduling. I have seen advertisements for it though. I know I would love to see a documentary. What I have read about the place is fascinating.

I saw that show last night. I watched about two minutes of it and they didn't bring up Bigfoot so I turned it. What is oak island and what's the mystery?

No Bigfoot but plenty of mystery

I first read about it a long time ago in the Reader's Digest. They talked about how they thought some pirate had buried treasure in this spot but if they dug down they would find logs blocking the way like a door. When moved a trigger type thing would open a tunnel that led to the ocean flooding the pit and drowning people. It was pretty interesting. From what RD said and the diagrams they showed I see no way it could be some natural phenomena but I don't know if they stretched things for a good read.

Been more fortunes squandered there than could ever be made up for now. It is interesting tho.

From what I've read about it over the years, RD wasn;t stretching things for the sake of the story. The people doing the digging and making the discoverys may have been. A theory that popped up asome years ago was that it was the Knights Templor that buried it. From as elabirate as the booby traps suppoesedly are it would have taken a helluva big crew a long time to accomplished it. Ans supposedly if it was done when they claim, without modern digging equipment, all by hand.
