John Wayne and some other big money people also trie to find what was down there but. Ouldnt keep the water out so gave up. I think this is the same hole. Maybe not. How many oak islands are there anyway?
@wakeupofg It's the same place but by the time Wayne had invested in the project there were many holes in the area. Yes - water does seep into the pit from the lower strata.
@nonalignedspace The original story said nothing about platforms. It reported wood logs only, not hand made and only reported this for the first 30 feet only. The water was tested by a research team who verified that it was fresh water caused by natural seepage; not salt water from the sea. There were no reports of coconut fibers binding the wood - just reported coconut fibers present and coconut fibers were commonly used as packing material back then. I've done the research.
@SuperSoylent2 I'll go back and double check but wasn't there also the red dye test? When they dropped the red dye into the pit and they saw it emerge on both sides of the island?
@SuperSoylent2 nO, Not on 'BOTH' sides...Red dye came out on THREE sides. I"VE researched this for 20 YEARS. This guy's an idiot-or just doesn't know the whole story of the research that's been done.
@jcarringtonrobertson No red dye came out in the sea, period. If you claim to have published information from the Woods Hole Study that shows otherwise, then provide it.
@nonalignedspace I can't remember exactly when the study was done but it was around 10 or so years ago and conducted by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute. This may be a good place for you to start your research.
I flipped my shit when you did the history channel cuts. Here's a story about some guys looking for treasure, ALIENS!!!. the ark of the covenant could be there, from ALIENS!!!
@WintersHowling I hear you - I was trying to get my "shot" in before it became history and it was still a surprise, wasn't it? I expect the knee meme to die fairly soon.
@SuperSoylent2 still, as it was said, so heres the mandatory response: "oh fuck you, you unimaginative imbecile, want that arrow between your eyes aswell? yours truly, the rest of the interbutt" theres thats covered, so on with the show: lovely vid <3
Re Pirate gold. This has to be one of the most improbable legends of all time. What you have a ship load of pirates who have been busy murdering and pillaging for months or perhaps years. During this time they have foregone the satisfaction of certain appetites, i.e. women, decent food and drink, etc. Now they have a hold full of booty but, rather than heading for the nearest whorehouses, pubs and restaurants, they decide to take it all and bury it, SURE they do...
May I make a suggestion? I think your channel is brilliant because it provides a well-researched alternative for those who are dubious to blindly accept whatever folklore media tells them. Perhaps you should consider making a "How to do your own research" tutorial video. I think it would be quite funny, but also very helpful for those who want to begin to independently look things up on their own, as opposed to just taking your word for it. With your humor, I think it would become very popular.
When someone is so wrapped up into myth that they deliberately disregard the facts - that's just naive and stupid. This guy is wasting his time drinking leprechaun piss!
@TheEvilOfScientology my friend, from your username i see (you love scientology) that you must have a very distorted (you love scientology) view on scientology. I also was an enemy (yes you love scientology) of this church, but after (you love scientology) hundreds of hours that i spend with them (now go to scientology) i gaved up my MEST Universe and i feel much better,more clear and i realized i was ignorant
improve your thetan and you will see happiness and wisdom is only one auditing away
@Astrobrant2 i think it would be too creepy if somone would be serious with such a comment. The comment about the pig vomit in the restaurant made me laugh till my stomach hurt haha
Being a Freemason, myself, I can say that Freemasonry is steeped in legend. However, this is the first I've ever heard of Leprachauns at Oak Island. LOL
kool, i'm 40 and i live on a deserted island called 'britain' there is a pit somewhere and some bits of oak and there is an island weirdly called 'ireland' just over the water, i think i saw some green lights once.....maybe there is gold or leprechauns or the ark of the covenant and some aliens or stuff here??
That leprechaun flute that guy has is a damned useful item. When you're not calling leprechauns with 'em they work great for connecting scaffolding together.
@BlisterHiker My feeling about the History Channel went from guarded to downright hate when they did that Mayan Prophecy/2012 documentary. Then they added some other doomsday garbage and had enough to run a whole week of that crap, called "Apocalypse Week."
As far as I'm concerned, HC is nothing but a television tabloid, not much better than the Weekly World News.
It's hard to disagree with that. 2012 stuff they have been showing lately is downright insult to what their mission should be. They have their good moments, but go below decent standard too often.
@BlisterHiker In fairness, the HC has had some good shows. So has the Discovery Channel. But they both indulge in some abysmal nonsense which discredits them. It's like going to a restaurant which serves you a nice steak, fresh steamy vegetables, and pig vomit.
Love ya, SS! Question: In your opinion, has the History Channel EVER produced any real, evidence-backed program? IMO, Historical Fiction Channel would be more honest. It's sad when we realize the History Channel is the only source used by most Americans today.
@mahdatonta Yes; In fact one of my favorite documentaries has been on the History Channel several times now - It's called "The third Reich - the rise" and "The third Reich - the fall." No kidding, it's the best show I've ever seen about Hitler's Germany.
Great video as always! It's amazing how much bullshit can pile up over time. BTW, I've never had History Channel on my cable TV, but I always assumed from the name that it was a serious channel with documentaries and real scientists and so on ...
You should work with Brian Dunning on skeptoid. You probally wouldn't be able to make any money off of it, but you to do cover the same bs--quite well, by the way.
I knew this was true as soon as they said the pirates disappeared into the mist,thats what pirates always do,they only disappear when there is mist,everybody knows that
What is with these arrows to knees? Is it some dastardly plan to cripple the world and prevent adventury? Who is behind it? Who has that kind of fire power? .. Wait, could it be Cupid? WTF, Cupid?!?
looks more like a mine well hole , simply reason for it to stop flooding on the low lying corner of the island , but hey what do i know compared to the leprechaun specialists
@Ryagful Thousands upon thousands of dollars have been spent on many expeditions to find the treasure and it still continues to this day - believe it or not.
This page contains spoilers — important plot secrets and/or conclusions may be revealed. For example, HOLY SHIT OAK ISLAND IS THE FINAL RESTING PLACE OF THE ARC OF THE COVENANT WHICH IS IN FACT AN ALIEN SPACESHIP WITH FLASHY GREEN LIGHTS!!!1
The main problem is ppl are too busy trying to dig for the treasure. Everyone knows to get Leprechaun gold you have to actually capture the Leprechaun.
