Okay, so I get easily scared when it comes to 'horror' shows and movies, and I just watched the episode in Season Two called, "Croatoan." This one scares me the most. Why? Here is my explanation.

The whole Croatoan legend is a real thing. 


October 17, The Croatoan Mystery

Passage One:

"In 1587, the English, led by John White and financed by Sir Walter Raleigh, made their second attempt at setting up a colony on Roanoke Island, which now lies just off the coast of North Carolina in the USA. The colonists disappeared, however, during the Anglo-Spanish War, three years after the last shipment of supplies from England. The settlement is known as "The Lost Colony," and the fate of the colonists is still unknown."

Passage Two:

"His men could not find any trace of the 90 men, 17 women, and 11 children he had left behind, nor was there any sign of a struggle or battle. The cabins had been taken down, the livestock had vanished and of the people the only traces were two graves and a message: the word "Croatoan" carved into a post of the fort and three letters "Cro" carved into a nearby tree."

Last Passage:

"The Croatans themselves believed that the island had a spirit and, if angered, this spirit had the power to change those who offended it into the form of animals, trees and rocks. So perhaps this is the explanation – that none of the people affected really disappeared but were simply transformed."
