Oak
Island’s Money Pit:
The Dig Just Keeps Getting Deeper
In
1795, 16-year-old Daniel McGinnis set out to explore a small island off
the coast of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. There he happened upon a large oak
tree in a clearing on the north end of the island. One of the tree’s
branches was severed and an old tackle box hung from it, under which there
was a large circular depression in the ground, indicating some kind of
refilled hole. Daniel’s curiosity was piqued, as rumor of pirates
burying their treasure had long persisted in the area. So the next day,
he returned with two friends to help with the excavation. Although the
young men only dug for 30 feet before running out of steam, they opened
a hole, out of which unleashed the Oak Island mystery. To date, this fascinating
saga has cost six lives, millions of dollars, and has occupied the imagination
of countless people.
The
Mysterious History of Vodou
The
old cliches are all too familiar; human sacrifice, cannibalism, drumbeat-driven
midnight orgies, and pincushion dolls. For many, Vodou (pronounced “Vuh-dough,”
with an accent on the second syllable) is the stuff of horror movies.
Vodou is actually a complex, sophisticated faith which combines elements
of various traditions. But what is Vodou and why does it frighten so many
people? The answers to that question lie in Haiti’s turbulent history.
