Matt and EJ continue their investigation of Oak Island, the legendary site of a fortune in undiscovered buried treasure. As the legend grows, treasure hunters continue to search the island for clues. Could it have been left by the Freemasons or the Illuminati, and mapped with cryptic clues? Or could the secret be the treasure from Solomon's vault or the hoards protected by the Knights Templar? Join us as we dig deeper, not into the money pit, but into the secret societies that are erroneously blamed for its creation.

Matt and EJ continue their investigation of Oak Island, the legendary site of a fortune in undiscovered buried treasure. When a new treasure seeker joins the hunt, it seems the mystery may be solved. But a series of traps continue to thwart the searchers. Who set them and why? And what, if anything, is so valuable that its owner would go to such lengths to keep it safe?

Nestled off the southern coast of Nova Scotia is a small, tree covered island with a bottomless mystery. This privately owned island has been the target of treasure hunters for over two hundred years. If the rumors and legends are true, a vast fortune lies buried under the island, sealed off in a complex maze of booby-trapped tunnels. This treasure, claimed to be long lost bounty from ruthless pirates or ancient secret societies, has captivated archeologists for centuries. Even today, seekers still continue the search, making it perhaps the most expensive treasure hunt in history.

he/him
I work in film and tv, both behind the camera and in the editing room. I’ve been a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians for over 20 years. Since childhood, I’ve been obsessed with cryptids, the paranormal and conspiracy theories. I believe that everything deserves to be explored, and nothing exists in a vacuum. Every belief we hold, every experience we have and every story we tell is influenced by our background, our situation and the world around us.
Favorite horror movies:
Hereditary, Burnt Offerings, His House, Creature from the Black Lagoon, anything Godzilla, The Ritual, Lake Mungo, Underwater, Amityville Horror (1979), Alien, Trollhunter
Favorite horror books/stories:
The Shining, Pickman’s Model, The Yellow Wallpaper, Was it a Dream?, A Headful of Ghosts, the Night Watch series, Crouch End, Something is Killing the Children
If I was a cryptid I’d be:
Either a cadborosaurus, so I’d be able to swim around the ocean, or Mokele-Mbembe because dinosaurs are awesome
Non-paranormal pursuits:
Woodworking, flyfishing, giving treats to cats

As an introvert that thrives on deep, meaningful conversation, I guess I’m a walking paradox. I grew up in a creaky old farmhouse in Upstate New York where I played with frogs and made all the adults call me Macgyver. When I was a kid, I saw something that looked like a sasquatch run through the swamp behind my house. I’m fascinated by what we think we see and what beliefs we hang on to, even as more information comes to us. Let’s get into it.
Favorite horror movies/TV shows:
Parasite, Paranormal Activity, One Cut of the Dead, Hush, Creep, Midnight Mass, Train to Busan, Nope, Midsommar
Favorite horror books/stories:
The Terror, House of Leaves
If I was a cryptid, I’d be:
Bigfoot because you’re always warm, you’re an apex predator, and you live alone in the woods away from people. What more could you ask for??
Non-paranormal pursuits:
Martial arts, knitting/crochet, exploring nature, writing
Quixote and Zuri
