In the first episode of 5 Minute Mysteries, we journey back to the late 16th century to explore one of the most enduring mysteries in American history—the disappearance of the Roanoke Colony. Known as the "Lost Colony," Roanoke was established as England’s first permanent settlement in the New World, only to vanish without a trace, leaving behind cryptic clues and countless unanswered questions. Join us as we delve into the theories, from integration with local tribes to more sinister possibilities, and attempt to unravel the enigma of what truly happened to the Roanoke settlers.
