Ep 5. Journey to Outcast Island

Journey to Outcast Island is the fifth episode of the sixth season of Mysteries of the Abandoned. In this episode, the team explores an isolated island that was once a prison for political and social outcasts.

Located off the coast of South Carolina, Outcast Island was established in the early 20th century as a place to send people who were deemed threats to society. The island was remote and completely cut off from the mainland, making it an ideal location for a prison. However, after being abandoned for many years, the island has become a mystery that many are eager to solve.

The episode begins with the team arriving on the island, which is now completely deserted. With its dilapidated buildings and overgrown vegetation, Outcast Island looks like a place that time forgot. The team begins exploring the island, hoping to unearth the secrets that it holds.

The first stop on their journey is the prison itself. The team investigates the various cells and common areas, trying to piece together what life was like for those who were held here. They find evidence of homemade weapons and tools, suggesting that the prisoners had to fend for themselves in harsh conditions. As they delve deeper into the prison, they come across an underground tunnel that may have been used for escape attempts.

Next, the team visits the few remaining houses on the island. These houses were once inhabited by the guards and their families, but now they too are abandoned. The team discovers evidence that suggests the guards may have been involved in smuggling activities, using the island's isolation to their advantage.

As the team continues exploring, they come across a mysterious building that appears to have been a laboratory. The building is filled with scientific equipment and strange artifacts, but the team can't quite figure out what it was used for. They also discover a small cemetery on the island, which contains the remains of some of the prisoners and guards who died on Outcast Island.

Throughout their investigation, the team learns about the difficult conditions that the prisoners and guards had to endure on the island. The isolation and harsh elements took a toll on everyone who lived there, and many lost their lives in the process. There are still many unanswered questions about the history of Outcast Island, but the team pieces together enough information to paint a picture of what life was like on the island.

As the episode draws to a close, the team reflects on the importance of preserving these abandoned places and the stories they hold. Outcast Island may be a bleak and desolate place, but it is also a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. The team leaves the island, knowing that they have uncovered some of its secrets, but also aware that there is much more that remains to be discovered.
