These Brothers Bought an Island to Look for Treasure Only to Find that It Is Cursed

The legend of Oak Island

The legend of Oak Island started in 1799. Back then, three teenagers, Anthony Vaugn, John Smith, and Daniel McGinnis were sailing to Oak Island to have some fun under the sun. When they arrived on the beach, they noticed a large, round depression on the ground. Curious, they started to dig in the area to see what had made the sand sink.

But then, the boys stopped digging after they had gone a few feet in. The boys never revealed why but according to the legend, something had scared the teenagers off. The island had been dormant since then as the rumors of curses grew about the island.
