RohanA Unique Obsession
Historian Charles Barkhouse has a notion that the island is like a sorcerer with the strong hold on people. He stated: “Putting one’s life at risk to find something that may or may not be buried is extreme. The mystery of Oak Island, though, is that powerful.” The treasure hunt has become an obsession for many. David Blakenship, for example, still resides on the island, and provides a helping hand during a search operation. “No one knows what’s buried here, who buried it or even where it’s buried,” Barkhouse says. “That’s what excites people — the possibilities.”
