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

Generating theories

Some theories were more simple and grounded too. Some believed that the pit may have been built by a pirate-like Captain Kidd. Others pointed out that the French-Indian War and the Seven Years War took place nearby so the island could have been the perfect spot to hide treasures of the local populations who were worried about invasion.

The truth is, the possibilities are endless. After William and his team, other more treasure hunters and historians came by the island to continue to look for the Money Pit but never found much. The mystery of Oak Island remained to be a puzzle for several years.
