Oak Island mystery

First account

First accounts about the strange hole on Oak Island are from year 1795, when 18-year-old Daniel McGinnis, after observing lights coming from the island, discovered a circular depression in a clearing on the south-eastern end of the island. Also there was a tackle block on one of the branches of nearby three. McGinnis, with the help of friends excavated the depression and discovered a layer of flagstones under few feet of ground. On the pit walls there were visible markings from a pick. As they dug down they discovered layers of logs at about every 10 feet. They abandoned the excavation at 30 feet.
