CroatoanThis is a featured page

"Croatoan" was a word carved into a tree in big letters at Roanoke, where an entire settlement disappeared overnight. No one knows what actually happened there in 1597. Some say that the people were forced out. Some say they all fled because of invadeing tribes or lack of food.
The word was carved into a tree in the middle of the settlement. Others say that it was a clue left for John White to discover so he knew where to find them. It is also believed that Croatoan is not a location or word of the tribe but a Demon of death, disease and plague.

I read a book series called "Blue Bloods" and there, there was a theory that the settlers that had settled there were all fallen angels seeking to escape Lucifer's wrath and that instead of escaping him, they'd unknowingly brought him over with them to the new world and as they slept, Lucifer massacred them and drank their blood (the blood of other fallen angels/vampires), thus driving him insane.
Still, that was probably just the authors imagination at work, but it was a good book. I'm not saying I believe it or that it's true, just something that I read and remembered.

A demon of Death? Based on what? There is no folklore to support that!

Croatoan is a name of an island near the colony. When the colony began to horribly fail, the settlers left and went to live with the native americans, who knew how to live off the land. When the trade ships returned, they found that the island had become populated with a bunch of native american/anglo saxon mixed children. This is historical fact. No ifs, ands or buts. Sorry

the tree said "CRO"
they believed that it ment the group of indians in the area
the young croations had blue eyes and blond hair when White came back, not natural to the tribes of the Americas
