Q. I watched the first season of “The Curse of Oak Island” and I’m intrigued by the whole concept of the “money pit”. Who built this elaborate construction hundreds of feet deep- containing platforms, messages and even booby traps?
A. The first thing I see is the discovery of this island, and it looks as though someone of power. I see red velvet which leads me to the direction of nobility…The nobility sent people scouting, the scouter were to look for treasures, whether it was resources, gold, food, even trees. Specifically I see enormous pine trees. I even get that smell of Muir woods in California. It looks like a scout actually found Oak Island hundreds of years ago. I want to say early like, the 1500 to 1600′s. What brought them their or attracted the scout, were these huge trees. I feel like there was something special about the height, strength, and look of these trees.
So as they were scouting the land on this island, I see some kind of a cave system that like went down and had different open caverns. It had a unique feel because it seems like it did not take much struggle to go fairly far and deep down. The discovery of this island with this cave system had this feel of finding a treasure. It is like I see this excited scout coming back to tell the King of the great thing that was found. It seemed more important than the tree that originally took him there.
I see the King as being really excited too, but he did not act upon it right away, but I see him talking with this small group, it was like a council of some kind. It was like people were slowly allowed to join this group, but the King was definitely the organizer of it. Then it looks like it was determined within the group to go to this hidden cave system, and I hear something about them making one of the caverns a backup vault…. Then I ask myself why and I get that it was very unsettling times, people were always at battle, there was always a war to get more, but keeping wealth or something of value away from the castle and the realm was almost like an insurance policy. So this place was a secret location used by the king and only known about by the King and his most trusted allies. I get that the King and his council would take secret excursions there, hold meetings….I also get that the more that they put there, the more secure they wanted it because there were times where it was either unattended or guarded by only a few people.
I get this Indian Jones feeling about this cave system. It naturally was very easy to go through, and all the booby traps were added, it was like the current structure was manipulated. I also hear something about it being so dark…and the King made a big deal about how dark it was in the cavern that they met, and he actually held a meeting in which a lot of his councilmen painted something reflective on the walls to make it less dark….only in the cavern though.
Q. Why did they build it. Is there a treasure/artifact buried there?
A. As I focus on the island right now, and think about what is there…I do envision some gold…but I will say that when I see the pile, it feel haphazard as if someone ran down there and could only grab what would fit in their hands and ran out…like they were being chased or someone was behind them and they had to hurry. The other thing that I see in the Cavern where they met, are these old historic looking maps. I feel like the paper isn’t paper but it is like cloth. I also feel like I see skeletons, one has a sword in it’s hand, it looks as though that skeleton tried to fight off whoever was coming in to grab gold by the handfuls.
And to back up a little, it looks as though what happened was the King that organized this died or was overthrown and when that happened one of his councilmen betrayed him, told someone about the treasure and that is what lead the action to the island to try and steal what they could….it felt as though the times were unsettling.
Q. What were the Maps of?
A. The image in my mind is like the northern part of Europe, England, the Northern part of Asia, and their were a bunch of waterways outlined on that same map that went to the Northeast of like England. Out towards Norway / Sweden, and that area. Then there was another map that had like the southern part of Europe, and then it had the Mediterranean sea on it, but it just had certain cities pinpointed around the sea, and it has this very incomplete feel to it.
