It's democracy in action – the people have spoken! Our first Facebook poll winner is Roanoke. In the late 1500s, an entire village of people disappeared from the island of Roanoke, becoming America's first urban legend and conspiracy theory. What happened to the settlers? Did they die of starvation? Did they resort to cannibalism? Were they massacred by the Native Americans they likely angered?

You won't find the answers this week. Instead, we'll focus on the setup and the history of the settlement itself. This background is essential for next week, although you still won't get the answers then! It's a mystery that has persisted for 500 years. Do you really think three podcasters will solve it?
