The creepy disappearance of the Roanoke Colony
Manage episode 341875750 series 3386867
Cheryl and Nikki Druce are turning back the clock to the 1500s, to travel to the “new world” (see: America). After a previous failed attempt, Queen Elizabeth the 1st was hell bent on colonising as much of the world as possible, and so, under the guidance of John White, 120 volunteers travelled 3,795 miles across the choppy Atlantic to create their new home… it was the last journey they would ever take, as just a few years later they would mysteriously vanish off the face of the Earth. Who were the lost colony of Roanoke, and what actually happened? Cheryl and Nikki are about to find out. Expect some seriously misguided holiday advice, the longest travel delay probably anyone has ever experienced, and of course, conspiracy theories of epic proportions.
