The Mystery of Roanoke Island

USA, 1920s. A small island off the coast of North Carolina — Roanoke Island... It is known for its dark secrets. About 400 years ago, the first colony of settlers mysteriously disappeared here. No trace of an attack or epidemic, even the dishes were left untouched. Only one word was carved on the wall of one of the houses — "Croatoan." To this day, people try to uncover the mystery of the vanished colony. Today's lunar eclipse coincides with a planetary alignment — an event that occurs once every 100 years. In the past, strange events have happened on the island during such eclipses. Perhaps something will happen this time too... Roanoke is full of rumors and legends. They say that 100 years ago, a sorcerer named Abe Pergam lived in the old Pergam house, who kidnapped people and sacrificed them to the devil. One day, the sorcerer mysteriously disappeared, but his house is still avoided. Rumor has it that it is cursed. It is said that a secret society runs everything on the island, but no one really knows what it does. It is also said that Roanoke is a favorite haven for smugglers and liquor traders. And now, during Prohibition, trading and transporting alcohol is a crime that can land you in court. Six months ago, Sheriff Stiles' brother, Solomon, died, and yesterday a local girl, Adelia, was found dead. Fishermen found Adelia's body far from her home, on the shore of the strait. There is a psychiatric hospital on the island, which always has many patients. Suicides are also common here, especially among newcomers. What is happening on the island? And can the mystery of Roanoke be solved without losing one's sanity? A ferry travels from the mainland to the island once a day. Today, the ferry has already left and will return only in the morning...
