Lionel Fanthorpe - The Oak Island Mystery: World’s Greatest Treasure Hunt

Terry Ross Investigates

W hile staying with Dr. Bob, Zohara and Anna Hieronimus, and their friend Laura Cortner, in Owings Mills, near Baltimore, Maryland, in November, 1993, we received many great kindnesses. Not least of these was an introduction to the celebrated and gifted psychic, T.E. Ross. He shares our interest in Rennes-le-Chteau and in the Oak Island Money Pit mystery, and phenomena, and a gifted psychic in his own right to various aspects of those enigmas.

We asked him first about the mainland camp which the original Money Pit builders were supposed to have established, and which George Young had shown us as a result of its being identified by a psychic friend of his. Terry Ross confirmed what George had said, and added that this camp site would be worth investigating.

When asked for his psychic response to the stone triangle, he felt that it was of genuine importance, but that it pointed to a significant clue rather than to the heart of the mystery itself. In response to our questions about the inscribed porphyry slab found at around the ninety-foot level in 1803 and 1804, he said it had a strange feeling, and that it was nothing to do with pirates, except perhaps later in a superficial way. Terry felt that the stone was involved with the centre of the mystery, with the centre of all the expeditions which had set out and put up the standing stone structures in New England and everywhere else. He said he thought it was probably connected with activities which took place around 2000 B.C.E.

Terry also felt strongly that the people responsible for it had a Mediterranean connection. His comments on what he referred to as their mindset were very interesting indeed. The mindset of these people seems utterly and totally different from anything we know today. They were friends of the earth and their whole motivation and energy were being expended to nurture the earth and be nurtured by her.

He then went on to talk about some fascinating archaeological work in Ohio in which he had been involved. The mounds weve investigated in Ohio had seven levels like Silbury Hill, in Wiltshire, England. The archaeologists sliced on mound all the way down We found independently that there were seven layers of earth in it like a battery, you know. One of the layers came from Iowa all the way from Iowa to Ohio. They dont know of anywhere else where that earth is found. That would account for some very strange stones turning up in important places. The Oak Island Money Pit stone was probably brought with the people who came from the Mediterranean. It has a centring effect for whatever they wanted to do there.

Terry gets the feeling that the flood tunnels were definitely a protective device.

When asked about Pitblado and his role in the Oak Island mystery, Terry had strong negative vibes. Hes not a very savoury man; thats the first feeling I have. I think that what he found was not, perhaps, all that critical or important, but he thought it was. I dont think it contained a secret or the clue to any riches. In fact I have an awful time finding riches in connection with this whole thing.

We then asked him whether we (and all the other investigators!) had been looking at the Money Pit in entirely the wrong way. Were all its elaborate precautions and defences designed to keep something very dangerous in, rather than to keep intruders out? Terry said that he thought whoever had built it had had an entirely different motivation from that of contemporary humanity. He felt that a different approach to the problem was needed. When we asked him how different, how alien, the originators were, he replied that he got a strange sensation about them laughingly, he used the word spooky. He had the distinct feeling that there was a connection with something very unusual, a feeling that there was a back and forth of information and instructions. The Money Pit, perhaps contained some kind of implant that was necessary for future developments. I think that this is connected with earth changes to be Its that drastic in my mind. These people, super-engineers that they were, were the only ones that could have pulled this off in that whole range of time. They were prevailed upon to do so.

When asked about Rennes-le-Chteau, the Scottish Sinclair-Templar connection and Mike Bradleys Two Oak Islands theory, Terry felt that they were all involved to a greater or lesser extent. He felt that this was a mystery that went right back through the Corridors of Time almost to the Garden of Eden.

In response to our final question about Fred Nolan and his recent discovery with William S. Crooker of the supposed huge Templar Cross on Oak Island, Terry said, Nolans a decent fellow, and hes holding on to some ideas that dont fit in with the others. Just as Pitblado had produced a negative psychic response, so our mention of Nolans work produced a strongly positive one.
