Have You Heard of The Oak Island Mystery?

Ashley Toups

It was a normal day on Oak Island until…

A boy named Daniel McGinnis discovered a mystery

He got his friends to help dig, and they dreamt of all

the treasures they would find

Others became interested

Deciphering the code

It’s a trap!

Curiouser and

Curiouser

The Oak Island Tragedies

President Franklin D. Roosevelt got in

on the fun

The William Chappell drilling structure

Gilbert Hedden also became interested

Aaargh matey! Keep away from me booty! Savy?

Is it the resting place of a Viking warlord?

Did military forces create this “money pit”?

Was the “money pit” built as part of a plot by King

George III?

Is the mystery the true identity of William

Shakespeare?

Was it an ancient Christian site?

Will we ever know what Oak Island is

hiding?

What are you waiting for? Let’s grab a shovel and go on an adventure for buried treasure!

Thank You!
