For more than 200 years, treasure hunters have been digging into a small patch of ground on Oak Island, Nova Scotia, chasing the promise of buried riches. What started with a depression in the earth beneath an oak tree has spiralled into generations of obsession: pirate loot, Templar relics, Shakespeare’s manuscripts, or maybe just a very elaborate sinkhole.
In this episode we dig (pun intended) into the Oak Island Money Pit — the strange engineering, the endless theories, the six lives already lost to the so-called “curse,” and why people keep pouring money into a hole that never gives anything back. We also get distracted by the usual nonsense because of course we do.
If you’re into unsolved mysteries, cursed treasure, weird history, and two idiots who can’t stay on topic, you’re in the right place.
