Roanoke Island Puns

Is the Cro tree still there? I'd love to see it

I've been watching a show called "These Woods Are Haunted" and in season 1 episode 3, a couple encounters 2 paranormal creatures on the same land, Roanoke Island. In fact, the guy mentions it in his interview. The creatures are huge and intimidating (you really have to watch the episode to get the full description). I couldn't help but wonder if the 115 missing people were victims of the same creatures and maybe that's what happened to them.

Will be attending the Michael Franti concert August 18. Probably will be among the oldest white folk there. Question is how far is the parking lot to the venue? Not many miles left in these old legs, no handicap sticker.

I have lived in the Eastside my entire life and have never been to the Roanoke. Any menu suggestions? Seems like a good bar in a quiet area but the menu ranges from classic American to Mexican and I’d love to know if they do something outstanding.

The author of this book must have been inspired and interested in the story of Roanoke Island and created a fiction novel about it and he also used the same name as one of the British adventureres (John White) in his book as the antagonist (I think). And after reading and researching about Roanoke Island I'd love to find this book again. If I can recall correctly the book featured the inhabitants having strange powers which they had developed and also the main antagonist's name was John White in the book. Pretty sure the book was a paperback as well. I read the book quite young probably 13 or 14 and I think its a teenager novel. And finally, it was a library book. Thanks for any help in advance!

hi, just moved to manteo (roanoke island) from upstate NY and am looking for places to run. I've been running all around the island for the past few weeks since I got here but am getting kind of bored of it. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can go on a run (maybe with some good sunrise spots along the way, as I like to run in the early mornings)? I will drive as far north as Corolla and as far south as Ocracoke to do so :)

I’m in my mid 30’s and was born & raised on Roanoke Island, North Carolina. It’s an awesome place to grow up because of all the history around my area but at the same time we have a dark past as well from the lost colony to witches and Indian burial grounds. This story takes place in Wanchese NC which is the south side of Roanoke Island and Manteo being the North side.

So in Wanchese around 1996 or 1997 I was around 12 or 13 I come from a family of 7 You know Mom, Dad & 5 kids total. I have 2 brothers & they both are older the oldest is 10 years older and then my other brother is 2 years older. So my brother that’s 2 years older his name is Rob, and Rob & I we’re basically buddies bc we were so close in age. We also a friend who literally was our neighbor but wasn’t right next door bc we lived in a wooded area.

This wooded area had a nice patch of woods back then bc it wasn’t torn down yet. Our friend his name was Bobby & to get to his house we literally had to walk through a small path through the woods, which took like a minute or so, it was quite close. Bobbie was my brother Robs age so they were around 14 or 15. One day Bobby’s cousin came for a weekend visit & his name was Stevie and he literally looked like a young Ben Savage from Boy Meets World, with a head full of curly hair & sorry thought that would help for a visual & also Stevie was 13 or 14.

On this particular weekend Bobby & my brother wanted to camp out in the woods, Bc that September my brother got a tent on his birthday & Bobby just got one as well on his birthday. So it was early November right around Bobby’s B-Day & since how cousin Stevie was down for the weekend they both thought it would be fun if all four of us went camping.

So My brother & I both asked our parents if we could camp out & told them we would be camping literally in Bobby’s backyard & Bobby of course told his dad the same thing that we would be camping in our backyard but in reality we were camping in the woods. So both set of parents are thinking we are in the other’s backyard in the woods line.

So it’s a Saturday on a nice brisk November day & Rob & I get our mom to give all 4 of us a ride to the local Red & White grocery store to get supplies for camping trip. We basically bought junk food like planters cheese balls, Bugles, those little Krispy Kreme fruit pies you know good old 90s snacks. We did buy a pack of hotdogs and some buns

Is anyone interested in entertaining other pairings of image to verse?

For reasons I cannot share today. I’ve paired image 3 with verse 9. It kind of makes sense. (maybe...)

>The first chapter
>
>Written in water

If we pair this with image 3 and talk about the migration story, Roanoke Island is the first attempt at a colony in the Americas by the English. Image 3 having a country of origin of England. Manteo was a native american who went to England and became an interpreter. He was lost with that first colony after returning in 1587. click here.

If the casque is found using this pairing, I’ll share why I’ve connected the two. As for why I do not believe in verse 11, I have another location for that verse. If I posted my thoughts on it, you would all eat me alive. Secondly, I live in the west. Roanoke Island would not be an easy trip for me. Lastly, if I’m right about verse 11, I wanted to offer an alternative for those searching Roanoke Island using my theory. What say you?

Hello!

My wife and I are looking to move to the outer banks in the next few years. (She’s a teacher so she would try to get hired before we moved)

Two of the areas we are looking at are Collington and Manteo area. We’ve driven down collington rd, and have been to Manteo a few times. Both seem nice. Vacation season and year around can be very different I’m sure.

I’m looking for advice from people who live there full time on what you like, don’t like, wish you knew beforehand etc.

We also have two kids (6 and 2) if that factors in to your advice.

Thank you for your help!
