Welcome heathens welcome to the world of the weird and unexplained.  I’m your host, Nicole Delacroix and together, we will be investigating stories about the things that go bump in the night, frighteningly imagined creatures, supernatural beings and even some unsolved mysteries and all sorts of weirdness.  So, sit back, grab your favorite drink, and prepare to be transported to today's dark Enigma.... 

And on today’s Dark enigma well we have another interesting listener suggestion, so without further ado, let’s get to it!  With that said, we will still be playing our drinking game and as you know, the drinking game is only for those of us that are at home and have nowhere else to go tonight.  The choice of libation, as always my darlings, is yours, so choose your poison accordingly… 

Alright, now for the game part how about every time I say Roanoke that will be a single shot and every time I say Virginia, that will be a double shot.  Now that the business end is out of the way we can jump headfirst into today’s dark enigma… so let’s don our best big-buckle outfit, oversized pilgrim hat and a basket of Maize for good measure as we dive deep into the First American Mystery, The Lost Colony of Roanoke and the Ghost Story of Virginia Dare 

Over thirty years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, a group of 117 weary men, women and children waded ashore and made history on Roanoke Island in July 1587, establishing the first attempted settlement of its kind in the Americas. Recruited by Sir Walter Raleigh, among these settlers were John White, his pregnant daughter, Eleanor Dare, her husband Ananias Dare, and the Indian chief Manteo, who had become an English ally during a previous visit in Britain.
