The Craziest Theory
Among these theories, the strangest one might be the most widely believed one! It has something to do with the Freemasons. You see, it turns out that there is a lot of Masonic imagery on the island. This is the reason people think that the treasure must belong to this mysterious organization. According to theorists, Francis Bacon went on a Rosicrucian mission there in order to hide the treasure!
Where Everything Started
But when did the rumors even start? Well, Daniel McGinnis had been wandering the island when he saw a circular depression. It was located on the ground right beside a tree that had been hacked away. He was familiar with the story of the hidden treasure and felt an inclination to investigate the matter.
