Oak Island, N.S., may be known for its supposed curse and treasure, but one man who went overboard and nearly drowned was lucky to be found alive by a group touring the area on Monday. Before the rescue started, tour operator Tony Sampson was talking about how there's an Oak Island Triangle, similar to the Bermuda Triangle, where mysterious things happen. Briggs-Dans said Sampson, who appears on the TV show, The Curse of Oak Island, sprang into action immediately. The wind had actually changed in the afternoon and that's what swamped the small boat," Sampson said. The rescued man's boat washed ashore on Oak Island.
