Mysterious pirate islands in the world

One of the familiar images in popular culture today is pirates. Evidence that they appear a lot in books, movies. Pirates on film are always associated with adventures, life-threatening games.

But in fact, for the entire length of human history, piracy is often no different from film, even if in terms of aggressiveness, the description on film still runs.

Island 'three curse'

In this article, we will look at a number of places that were associated with pirates in the past, with stories about adventurous trips, intrigues, dark history and even legends of demons, treasures haunted by curses. And must immediately confirm that these are real places.

Charles Island.

The first place in the book of pirate island is Charles Island , in the state of Connecticut, this is Silver Sands National Park. Normally this island has only a modest area and no special features, just an uninhabited rock with some sandy beaches, connected to the mainland with a long sand dune. The sand dunes sink when floating, depending on the tide. The island area is only 5.6 hectares, where the birds often come to rest and nest because there are almost no shadows.

However, the island in history has been famous three times for its association with legends and curses.

The first time started with the tribal chief Paugusset of the American Indian Aborigines. According to legend, the patriarch was very sad at the invasion of white people from Europe after Colombo explorer found the Americas (though thought India) in 1492. It is said that, because Hating the white people, the patriarch Paugusset in 1639 swore that the Charles island (probably the name of the white man later) would never accept it for them to set foot on. If they do this, they will be disintegrated and blown away. However, in fact, the island is very unsuitable for building permanent structures and has never had people stay for a long time despite efforts to do so.

I don't know where the curse of the chief patriarch comes, but in many times, many people dare to approach the island. A lot but not all. In 1699, the legendary Scottish pirate Captain William Kidd stopped the train right next to Charles Island. It is said that Captain Kidd moved to the island a lot of possessions before his gang was robbed. He also left a curse that anyone who tried to dig up treasures would have a bad luck and even death. Captain William Kidd then departed the train toward Boston, where he was arrested and eventually executed for a series of crimes.

The third curse appeared and attached to the island in 1721. A group of sailors came here to hide a treasure that once belonged to the Mexican Emperor Guatmozin who lived in the 16th century. King Guatmozin, who swore to this treasure right away Before being arrested and killed by the Spanish in 1525. The crew accidentally found the treasure hidden in a cave in Mexico and stole them. But then, the crew immediately encountered many misfortune and misfortune. Four out of five people died for many reasons. The other one, afraid of his turn, also buryed the treasure at Charles Island in a very frightened mood.

No one knows how many of the truths of the stories above and no treasure were found on Charles Island, even though there were many people, by many efforts, came to search for them. But since the news of the island is a hidden treasure, there have been many other stories related to them and curse.

Folly Island

Mystical stories about this island began to spread from the American Civil War in the 18th century.

This island belongs to the state of South Carolina (USA) near the port of the city of Charleston. Dark stories with the island's violent history date back to ancient times, with Bohickets aboriginal tribes who were said to have died out in the 17th century because of illness and clashes with people. White skin from Europe spills over. In the early 18th century, this land was full of pirates. They took Folly Island as a base, from there opened raid attacks on merchant ships passing by, killing many sailors, taking countless goods and possessions.

There is a very famous, or notorious robber, Edward Teach, commonly known as the Roi Bear, who often visits the island and considers it one of his shelters for a long time.

And like Charles Island, mysterious curses also become an obsession for those who later set foot on Folly Island. Mystical stories about this island began to spread from the American Civil War in the 18th century.

That time, a Union member of the Northern Army had docked on Folly Island with the aim of taking it as a springboard to attack the city of Charleston. At some point, the army encountered an elderly woman and a child, refusing to evacuate even though the civil war had spread, even though the whole area had emigrated. The woman told the Yokum officer that she saw the pirate burying 6 gold bins in the middle of two oak trees right behind her shack. She also saw them killing a fellow and throwing the body down at the grave. But the woman also warned that the treasure was guarded by the ghost of the bandit and let no one get close.

It was said that Yokum and some of his soldiers had to abandon the excavation that night due to unusual phenomena, even if there were no specific records.
