One of the main treasure hunters died.

I have watched the show a bit over the last two years. He was often on. Old and health was failing, but his mind and memory were still sharp.

I guess he now knows the secret of Oak Island.


Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

I suspect that is the only way anyone is ever going to learn its secrets.

Well I am not trying to be morbid but the curse stated that either 7 or 8 will need to die before the island gives up it's secret.. It might have been 7 but I don't remember the exact curse of oak island correctly, but I do believe 6 now 7 have died in the hunt for the treasure. but perhaps they will find the treasure but I hope that man will RIP wink

How many people have died on Oak Island?

The possibility of great treasure is certainly intriguing, but the idea of the supposed curse is what keeps viewers tuned in to The Curse of Oak Island season after season. The curse itself claims that seven people must die before the famed treasure of Oak Island can be found. In fact, a recent investigation determined that fourteen people have been documented to have died on the island since 1795.

Of those fourteen people, seven of them were reputed to have been treasure hunting while on the island. Whether or not this fulfills the legendary curse is open to interpretation and is certain to be explored in detail during the remainder of the sixth season.

The curse seems to be taking a few more than required before allowing the Island to give up its secrets.

Dying at 95 is not a curse.

Known about for many years and followed it occasionally, seen a few of the documentaries on it.

I found out about when visiting Nova Scotia on holiday in 2003 but never had the time to go and have a look as I was more focused on the Cabot Trail, the old fort at Louisburg, and thinking of buying a holiday house on the Grand Mira river. One thing that struck me was the number of native Americans of the Micmac that had the same family name as I have, but they are called after St. Paul.

Oh the black fly put me off the property, they were worse than the mosquitos!

Shush, you!

Next you'll point out the same thing about Egyptian mummies and their curses, too.

What do you want for proof - they all died, didn't they? Maybe it's a slow acting curse.
