Welcome to My Roanoke Breakdowns, where Ryan and Greg revisit AHS Roanoke. AHS Season 6 is streaming right now on Netflix and Hulu, so follow along with us! This week, we are breaking down Chapter 1 and Chapter 2.
Season 6 is based on the real-life events of the Roanoke Colony. Specifically, the Lost Colony from 1587 led by John White that completely disappeared. It’s unexplained to this day. Approximately 112-121 colonists vanished, leaving only the word CROATOAN carved into some wood -- referring to the local Native American tribe.
Some speculate that the colonists may have assimilated with the tribe or wiped out by disease or a violent massacre at the hands of the Native Americans. But let’s be clear, there is no tangible evidence of any of this.
So what happens when you buy a home on this sacred land? Matt and Shelby Miller find out in American Horror Story: Roanoke.
