In 1587, 115 English colonists arrived on Roanoke Island to build the first permanent English settlement in the New World. By the time Governor John White returned just three years later, the colony had vanished without a trace. No bodies. No signs of struggle. Just a single word carved into a tree: CROATOAN. For centuries, historians have puzzled over the fate of the lost colony—did they integrate with local tribes, fall victim to conflict, or meet a more mysterious end?

In this episode, we dig into the history, the theories, and the eerie folklore surrounding Roanoke’s disappearance. From the archaeological evidence on Hatteras Island to a chilling pattern of disappearances tied to the word CROATOAN—including a ghost ship, a vanished author, and Edgar Allan Poe’s dying breath—we’ll explore whether this was simply an early colonial tragedy… or the beginning of something much stranger.

Can a town simply vanish?

In 1930, a fur trapper arrived at an Inuit village on Angikuni Lake—only to find it abandoned. Fires smoldered, meals were uneaten, and graves were mysteriously dug up and left empty. The RCMP later denied the case ever happened—so was it all a hoax, or did something truly unexplainable occur?

Then, there’s Doveland, Wisconsin—a town that some swear existed, yet has been erased from maps and records. If it never existed, why do people remember visiting it? And why do some still own souvenirs from a place that supposedly never was?

So, settle in, and let's consider.
