O sul da América deu origem a muitas das grandes histórias e lendas do país. Desde os primeiros tempos coloniais, tem sido um lugar de mistério, repleto de colônias desaparecidas e aparições estranhas na floresta, mas a longa e orgulhosa história do Sul sempre teve um lado mais sombrio e estranho.
Um dos mistérios mais famosos da América foi o primeiro. Apesar de ter deixado mais de 100 colonos na ilha de Roanoke em 1587, John White voltou a literalmente nada, com todos os vestígios do assentamento desaparecidos e nenhuma evidência de luta ou qualquer outra coisa que pudesse explicar o desaparecimento dos habitantes. White encontrou a palavra "Croatoan" esculpida em uma árvore próxima, o que ele imaginou que poderia significar que os colonos se mudaram para uma ilha próxima, mas ele não foi capaz de realizar uma expedição de busca por lá. Os espanhóis também procuraram a colônia na esperança de destruí-la, mas nenhum dos europeus conseguiu encontrar os colonos de Roanoke ou explicar o que aconteceu com a colônia "perdida". O destino de Roanoke fascina as pessoas há mais de 400 anos, e não faltam teorias sobre o desaparecimento da colônia. Além da possibilidade de os colonos se mudarem para a ilha Croatoan, a maioria das teorias especula que eles foram exterminados por nativos americanos próximos ou assimilados por uma tribo.
Os futuros assentamentos na área sobreviveriam e começariam a florescer, o que traria mais mistério e fenômenos inexplicáveis. Contos de monstros e fantasmas à espreita em seus bosques e casas antigas, e estranhos monumentos que podem ser de uma civilização esquecida, confundem os investigadores locais. Enquanto isso, os primeiros habitantes sempre foram supersticiosos, seja na Flórida, Geórgia, Maryland, Carolina do Norte, Carolina do Sul, Virgínia, Virgínia Ocidental, Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee e leste da Louisiana.
Mistérios do Sul: Fantasmas, lendas e fenômenos inexplicáveis em Dixie mostram uma amostra de histórias estranhas, inexplicáveis e simplesmente estranhas do Sul que fascinam as pessoas na região e nos arredores há séculos. Juntamente com fotos de pessoas, lugares e eventos importantes, você aprenderá sobre o lado misterioso do Sul como nunca antes, em nenhum momento.
