Binnall & O'Conner on The Other Side of Truth

Powered by Podbean.com

In the summer of 2007 I was visited here in Nova Scotia by my friend Tim Binnall, host of the Binnall of America podcast. While he was here, we took the opportunity to attend the annual Explore Oak Island Days festival / conference on the province’s south shore, near the legendary island of alleged buried treasure. Tim and I pitched a tent at a nearby campground, hung out, drank a lot of beer (and I mean a lot), and talked about all sorts of esoteric and paranormal subjects. I had a DV camera with me to conduct some interviews and film some lectures at the conference, and one afternoon when we had nothing better to do, I decided to ask Tim a few questions. I’ve included that exchange in this episode, as well as a couple of excerpts from an interview I conducted with Oak Island researcher D’Arcy O’Connor, who wrote The Secret Treasure of Oak Island: The Amazing True Story of a Centuries-Old Treasure Hunt.

D'Arcy O'Connor - Some Oak Island "theories"

Author D'Arcy O'Connor discusses some of the more "out there" theories for Oak Island - could it be UFOs, leprechauns, or German submarines in World War II?



Mac Tonnies should take note of the leprechaun theory - cryptoterrestrials, perhaps?

D'Arcy O'Connor discusses the Knights Templar theory for Oak Island

Author D'Arcy O'Connor discusses the theory that the Knights Templar were behind whatever might be hidden on Oak Island, Nova Scotia in this clip from the interview I filmed with him on August 12, 2007, at the Oak Island Resort (you can see Oak Island in the background on the left). The questions were asked by Halifax-based esoteric researcher Graham Simms, with whom I'm working on developing a documentary about Oak Island.

D'Arcy O'Connor discusses Oak Island, folklore and the paranormal

Author D'Arcy O'Connor discusses some of the paranormal myths and folklore surrounding Oak Island, Nova Scotia, in this clip from an interview conducted with him August 12th, 2007, at the Oak Island Resort.



D'Arcy's book The Secret Treasure of Oak Island: The Amazing True Story of a Centuries-Old Treasure Hunt, is a cracking good read, and an excellent overview of the Oak Island saga from the perspective of someone who is convinced that there really is some sort of treasure buried there. His lecture this past weekend at Explore Oak Island Days was "Debunking the Debunkers", a title many in the UFO field might find familiar.
