Ep 3. Voices From the Grave

The Curse of Oak Island is a reality television show that follows brothers Marty and Rick Lagina as they search for treasure on Oak Island in Nova Scotia, Canada. In season 1 episode 3, titled "Voices From the Grave," the brothers continue their search for clues and artifacts that could lead them to the treasure that has eluded generations of treasure hunters.

The episode begins with the brothers meeting with geologist Terry Matheson, who shows them an intriguing rock formation that he believes could be man-made. The formation has a triangular shape and appears to be too perfect to have occurred naturally, leading Matheson to speculate that it could be an early attempt at a booby trap to protect the treasure.

The team then turns their attention to a mysterious shaft that was excavated more than 200 years ago. According to historical accounts, the shaft was dug by a group of treasure hunters who believed they were on the cusp of discovering the fabled treasure. However, when they reached a depth of 90 feet, the shaft began to flood with seawater, forcing them to abandon the site.

Undeterred, Marty and Rick decide to mount their own effort to explore the bottom of the shaft. They hire a diving team to explore the shaft to see if there are any remnants of the old excavation or clues that might indicate what the treasure hunters were searching for. The video footage from the dive is haunting, showing murky waters and eerie tunnels that were carved out by the earlier treasure hunters.

Next, the team returns to the island's war room to review their findings. They discuss the possibility that the shaft was an attempt to dig under the stone tablet that was discovered in episode 2. The tablet is believed to be a cryptogram that could reveal the location of the treasure, but the team has yet to decipher it. The episode ends with the team brainstorming new ideas for how to break the code and unlock the secrets of Oak Island.

Overall, "Voices From the Grave" is an intriguing episode that delves deeper into the mystery of Oak Island. The dive footage is a highlight, providing a fascinating look at the treacherous conditions faced by treasure hunters of the past and present. The rock formation and theory about the shaft being an attempt to dig under the tablet add new layers to the mystery, leaving viewers eager to see what Rick, Marty, and their team will uncover next.
