4-06 In Search Of The Lost Colony of Roanoke (Part 2 of 2)

[thesychotic1]

Isn't it possible they built a vessel to go to the Croatoan Island, fell victim to a storm a perished?

[kasperx01]

thumbs up if HIS 131 brought you here......

[Dougy345]

they ended up living with the indians

[Clee4000]

What if the aliens had something to do with this.

[CosmicConJob]

I think it is pretty obvious that these people were abducted by aliens.

[Janiah2001]

Im confused they got all these clues and nobodays knows what hapend i just really want to kno hat happend to Virgina.but hopefully well find out what happend to the Lost colony but well have to wait and see

[Dablkwid0w2008]

But that doesnt explain why there was so sign of their buildings when they first arrived

[one4all1000]

@Dablkwid0w2008 Pls don't go by this documentary, it's terrible.  The buildings had been dismantled. Just as materials are re-used today, so were they then. Taking the wood with them meant they didn't have to cut down trees, split them plane them etc. If you read John Whites diary/papers, you'll see. His as in John White's belongs had been buried, as when he left he was worried about leaving his belongings, those on the island promised to look after them. So they couldn't have left in a hurry.

[Dablkwid0w2008]

The tree looks like a telephone pole

[sankoboy]

Dont put rewards for the stones, or you'll get a bunch of fakes

[silvermasterrahul]

for me the most obvious answer is..they went to croatoan thats why they carved it..and what if the king cudnt go that day?? he cud have waited a month and then go there..he didnt go there so obviously they must've been there..and after many years even if sm 1 tries to go there and dosent find a clue its not a big thing...a hurricane must've taken away all of the clues..maybe they are dead before they reached the island itself or maybe they moved from croatoan to somewhere else..!

[anilomd]

So the survivors went native. Reminds me of the true story of Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca. A sixteenth century Spanish shipwreck survivor who wandered the Southwest for years before being found.

I have a history exam tomorrow and i am very bad at history but this video has helped so much

[TDILuvr12]

Apparently, the colonists were supposed to write where they were going, if they left Roanoke, a cross above the place if they were forced to leave. Croatoan was an island near Roanoke, and it's a shame that White never got to go there. They could have been there all along, then moved with the Native Americans living there.

[transitionalphase]

That's a shame that the Queen of England couldn't even spare one ship to return to the colony! I wonder how she felt when she found out that they were missing.

[CecilRhodesIlluminat]

EINSTEIN STAUNCHLY BELIEVED IN GOD, THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE.

[SmoshPit1]

I think the went to go live in Atlantis...

[steventhestudent]

actually the colonists were playing hide and seek. but they forgot to call the game when they finished.

[pillowbugg]

They were in hurricane country over three years time. It wouldn't take a strong hurricane to uplift those primitive structures and whipe them out. England didn't have knowledge of hurricanes back then, so any tree/growth destruction might have been overlooked. The storm surge on this island, wind, rain. The survivors leaving the area or all parishing and swept back out to sea. This seems to me to be the most probable explaination. Survivors then moving on, assimilating into tribes.

[BossBass7o7]

@pillowbugg Then why was the stockade still standing, smart guy?

[pillowbugg]

@BossBass7o7 Anchored down....duh

[1Historygenius]

@pillowbugg But is it really that common to hold a stockade in place with anchors. I know they hardened the foot of stockades with clay or brick but not anchered hard into the ground I do not believe a mere stockade can handle a hurricane.

[Caprican28]

@pillowbugg yeah I live in Richmond and even today it takes nothing to uplift even our housing. Also this could cause the James River/Chesapeake Bay to flood which also is a current problem that can get severe with hurricanes..

[zurrillo1]

I also liked the maiden story at the end, And Fine Performance of Leonard Nimoy as Governor White.Virginia Dare was the first American.

[funkytomo77]

This legend is woven into the Stephen King film " Storm of the Century " , pretty good movie , set on Roanake. I didnt know it was a true legend until i watched this.

[edm971]

no one will never know wat happend to those people it remains a mystery????

[2ScoopsOfZeke]

bitch ass queen....

[add2014]

what if they merged together with the croatoan indians? they could have asked to join with them, taken down their houses and cleared the site, and left the word CROATOAN on the tree so that when white returned he would know their whereabouts. Just a thought to consider

[scottieman2]

Aw..... Poor guys at the end.

[avallonmist]

Thank you !!!! I've been looking for this for a while now. Great post. Great site !

[LucidDream]

What if they were moved away by some group of people? Their bodies could be anywhere. It's possible someone has found their bones somewhere, not near Roanoke, and not been able to identify them. I think the Indians had something the do with it though. Roanoke and Croatoan are both Indian names.

[mariehansler]

The dear and the Maiden at the end is stupidity. Ghost's and stuff....dumb.

[BearWoodward]

I think the colonists commited atrocities among themselves like murder and canabalism due to the isolation of the region and depletion of supplies.

[avallonmist]

@BearWoodward It's a good [if not sad] theory; but I think there would have been some evidence. And, from all my research on this group, there doesn't seem to be anything but the stockade, a thinly carved post and possibly a rock or two. But, you could be right, it happened to the Donner Party :-(

[PortuguesPrincesses]

The maiden story at the end is a nice touch :)

[GusF]

The ranger's theories seem very plausible.

[scottieman2]

I wonder what happened to those people.
