CURSE OF OAK ISLAND.
I HAVE BEEN INTERESTED IN A STORY OF OAK ISLAND, SINCE I WAS
A KID, OKAYMENT FOR THE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO MAY NOT KNOW, WHAT
IS OAK ISLAND AND WHAT ARE YOU GUYS LOOKING FOR.
>> RICK CERTAINLY SHARES THAT CHILDHOOD INTEREST.
>> I WILL GIVE YOU THE BRIEFING.
OAK ISLAND IS SORT OF ONE OF THE WORLD'S BIG UNSOLVED MYSTERIES.
RICK, WILL TELL YOU MORE ABOUT IT.
>> WELL, WE GREW UP, WE WENT TO CATHOLIC SCHOOL.
I LOVED TO READ.
SO WE GO TO THE LIBRARY ONCE A WEEK.
I FIGURED OUT THE BEST BOOK IN THE LIBRARY WAS THE READER'S
DIGEST.
SO IN 65, JANUARY, THERE IS AN ARTICLE ABOUT OAK ISLAND.
AND I TURN THE FIRST PAGE AND I, I WAS LOST.
I WANTED TO KNOW WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY AND HOW.

>> Stephen: OKAY.
>> >> Stephen: WHY DO PEOPLE
THINK THERE'S TREASURE ON OAK ISLAND.
>> HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU HAVE.
>> Stephen: ABOUT FIVE MINUTES.
>> FIVE MINUTES, GO, RICK.
>> I MEAN, IT A SICK LAR DEPRESSION WAS FOUND UNDERNEATH
A GIANT OAK STREET IN 1759.
>> Stephen: A CIRCULAR DEPRESSION FOUND UNDER AN
OAKTREE.
>> BUT THAT HAS TO BE CONTEXTED WITH THE FACT THAT IN NOVA
SCOTIA, THE MAR I TIME HISTORY, CON QUISA DOR, PIRATES,
PRIVATEERS, CAPTAIN KID THERE IS THIS BELIEF THAT TREASURE WAS
DEPOSITED THERE.
>> WHEN THESE BOYS STARTED DIGGING IN 1795, IT SAY REALLY
LONG STORY, REALLY SHORT.
>> Stephen: SO IN 1795 THEY STARTED UNDER THE OAKTREE, BOYS
FOUND IT AND STARTED DIGGING.
>> THEY GET DOWN TEN FEET AND HIT A LAYER OF OAK LOGS.
>> Stephen: NEXT TOON OAKTREE, WHAT ARE THE ODDS, GO AHEAD.
>> BUT THERE IS A LAYER, NOT AN ORDINARY, NOT AN ORDINARY THING.
SO THEY TAKE IT.
THEY ARE BOYS, THEY HIT ANOTHER LAYER OF OAK LOGS AND THEY GIVE
UP, TEMPORARILY.
THEY COME BACK AS ADULTS BECAUSE THEY ARE CAUGHT.
THEY ARE THE FIRST ONES TO BECOME OBSESSED.
WE ARE THE LATEST ONE.
>> Stephen: HAS ANYONE EVER FOUND ANY TREASURE THERE?
>> DEPENS HOW YOU DESIGN-- DEFINE TREASURE.
>> Stephen: GOLD AND BUBLOONS AND DIAMONDS AS BIG AS A BABY
HEAD, SPANISH GALLION.
>> YOU ARE DEFINING IT BIG.
WE FOUND SOME VERY INTERESTING.
>> Stephen: WHAT HAVE YOU FOUND.
HAVE I STUFF BACK HERE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE.
EXPLAIN WHAT THIS IS?
>> THIS IS-- THIS IS NOT VERY DRAMATIC LOOKING, IS IT, DOESN'T
LOOK LIKE A DIAMOND.
>> Stephen: SHOW THE CAMERA.
>> THIS IS-- YOU SEE THAT?
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME.
>> Stephen: I KNOW.
WHAT IS THAT, IT LOOKS A LITTLE LIKE.
>> THAT IS ACTUALLY-- THAT IS ACTUALLY COCONUT FIBER.
>> Stephen: WHAT DOES COCONUT FIBER IS DOING IN NOVEMBER
SCOSHA.
>> EXACTLY.
>> Stephen: BIG BINGO, THAT'S THE TRSHURE.
I'M HOOKED.
THIS IS WHY I'M HOOKED.
TOTALLY HOOKED, OKAY.
IT CAN'T-- IT HAD TO BE-- WHY ARE THERE COCONUTS, THEY PACKED
THE GOLD INSIDE THE COCONUTS.
>> NO, NO, NO.
THEY USED COCONUT FIBER TO KEEP THE STUFF FROM SHIFTING AROUND
IN SHIPS, THAT IS HISTORICAL.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
SO WHAT ARE THESE.
>> THESE ARE THE FAMOUS SPANISH SCISSORS.
>> Stephen: WHAT MAKES THEM FAMOUS?
>> THEY ARE FAMOUS TO US.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
>> THEY FROM-- FOUND ON OAK ISLAND IN SMITH'S COVE BURIED
UNDERNEATH THIS LAYER OF HE CAN COFIBER.

>> RIGHT.
CLEARLY TREASURE.
>> Stephen: THEY ARE PROTECTING THE SCISSORS.
>> THE COCONUT FIBER, THE OAK ISLAND THING IS REALLY
INTERESTING BECAUSE IT HAS EVERYTHING.
IT HAS A CURSE T HAS-- .
>> Stephen: WHAT IS THE CURSE.
>> RICK, TELL THEM WHAT THE CURSE IS.
>> THE CURSE IS THAT-- .
>> Stephen: YOU ARE PLAY BY PLAY, HE'S COLOR COMMENTARY.
>> THE CURSE SAYS THAT THE ORIGINAL OAK, THE UMBRELLA OAKS
THESE LARGE CAN OPIES OAKED ALL OF THEM PERISHED, DIE ON THE
ISLAND AND THAT SEVEN PEOPLE MUST DIE AND THEN THE TREASURE
WILL BE REVEALED.
ALL OF THE OAKS CURRENTLY ARE DEAD AND SIX PEOPLE HAVE
TRAGICALLY PERISHED IN PURSUIT OF THE TREASURE.
>> Stephen: LIKE THEY'RE DOWN IN THE MONEY PIT.
>> ONE MAY BE.
ONE MAY BE.
THE FIRST DEATH WAS A FELLA FELL INTO THE EXCAVATED MONEY PIT
WHICH WAS THEN 90 FEET DEEP.
>> Stephen: WHY IS IT CALLED THE MONEY PIT IF YOU NEVER FOUND
ANY MONEY?
>> BECAUSE THE MONEY FIGURATIVELY HAS BEEN GOING IN
TO THE MONEY.
>> Stephen: OH, I UNDERSTAND.
>> I ALSO HEARD STORIES LIKE THERE WERE TUNNELS THAT FLOOD.
>> THAT'S WHERE THIS ALL TIES TOGETHER.
>> Stephen: HOW DOES.
>> THE COCONUT FIBER WAS FOUND IN A HUGE LAYER OUT 500 FEET
FROM THE MONEY PIT AND THE EARLY EXPLORERS FOUND THAT THE REASON
IT FLOODED WHEN THEY TRIED TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT WAS
BECAUSE THERE WAS A FLOOD TUNNEL.
AND THE COCONUT FIBER WAS TO KEEP IT FROM SITTING UP.
>> Stephen: GOOD LUCK.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> Stephen: I HOPE.
>> YOU SAID ARE YOU SELF ARE YOU CAPTIVATED.
