The creepy disappearance of the Roanoke Colony

The creepy disappearance of the Roanoke Colony

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.

The Spooky Sleepover: Can you manifest a ghost?

Cheryl’s mid-air and producer Alex is away, but Nikki is joined by a very special guest (and I think our spookiest one yet), Jed Shepherd — an actual horror movie maker. Jed’s film 'Host' is scientifically proven as the scariest horror film EVER. Together we’re deep diving into our rabbit holes of the week: can we manifest ghosts? Jed takes us back to the playground ghost hunts he used to run in primary school and it turns out… he started to get haunted by his own ghost and if you lived in south London, maybe you were too? Plus, we uncover if some prop bodies may actually be real life HUMAN CORPSES?! And we discover the origins of the Sourtoe Cocktail — the drink garnished with a human toe. Would you be brave enough to take a sip? Find out What Nikki and Jed think!Find Jed here: https://www.instagram.com/jedshepherdGot a theory? Been lost in a rabbit hole? We want to hear from YOU!
