What do you think might have happened to them and can any one suggest a good book on the topic (so that I may add it to my ever growing wishlist).
They left that part out of the outdoor drama when I saw it...Obviously, Cthulhu sent the Deep Ones to devour the colonists. Duh.
Yeah, this one doesn't seem like a mystery. No more than Loch Ness Monster is a "mystery", anyway. They sent a bunch of colonists, without jack for supplies, to the New World and just left them there, and didn't check on them for several years. Seems pretty damned likely that:
-Most of them probably died (starvation, disease, natives, take your pick)
-Remaining colonists decided the colony really wasn't working out for them, and joined up with local natives (either willingly, or the natives attacked, killed some, and captured some of the women and children).
I mean, you've got indians running around, right next door, with light skin and blue eyes, not exactly common to their racial profile, what do you THINK happened? Add in that the survivors left a friggin' NOTE saying that they were headed exactly where these blue-eyed indians later showed up, and well...?
I think Scooby Doo can take the day off, we got this one under control![]()
I may get that myself. I used to spend summers as a child in Nags Head. I still have family in Manteo.You're welcome. I'm going to get it myself; I've always been fascinated by Roanoke.
