Well listeners, it's that time of year. Grab a drink. (If you are of the legal age) The MACABRE fam is getting festive and enjoying the holidays. So , in the "spirit" of the season we thought we'd share with you a special PATREON epsiode from season one. Blaire and Halley do their very own version of Drunken History shenanigans. So buckle of for this off the cuff, hilarious episode of the retelling of the infamous "Great Molasses Flood" and the ridiculous "Great Emu War". Disclaimer: Must be 21+ in the United States to play along!

On this episode of Hometown Macabre: A Dark History Podcast, Halley and Blaire dive into one of history's most haunting mysteries: the disappearance of the Roanoke Island colony. In 1590, over 100 settlers vanished without a trace, leaving behind a single cryptic clue: the word "Croatoan" carved into a wooden post. Was it starvation, disease, a violent clash with the local tribes, or something even more sinister?

Join the ladies of Macabre as they discuss the theories, legends, and the connections that keep this centuries-old mystery alive.
