It was the history channel late one night when I heard about this story. It was about a group of

guys digging a hole. Now, before you stop listening, I want to let you know that it wasn't just a

hole in the ground, but some huge operation. People were digging with heavy machines, camera

crews were there. Some of the people in there were going on camera

talking about a treasure. Now, obviously I was intrigued. Old man talking about

digging for treasure felt so bizarre. I would normally imagine kids or some pirate

movie talking about this stuff. And it almost seemed like a fake documentary until I

found out about just how much money

they were spending on it. At one point, it was even funded by President Roosevelt. Actor John

Wayne was also invested, and that's when I realized that this was something different. This was

a mystery that had been going on for over 200 years when it was discovered.

The story that goes into the tale of a pirate burying a fortune in an island off the coast of Canada.

And strange items were found, a stone with mysterious writings on it.

And what makes this even weirder

was that as you started digging,

you would find platforms made out of wood

every 10 feet or so,

all with different layers of protection.

Also, items were left on there without an explanation.

As time went by, the pit saw death, ghosts, and strange tales of a curse that surrounds it.

And to this day, it baffles explorers.

So today we're going to go visit the Oak Island Money Pit.
