FX’s “American Horror Story: My Roanoke Nightmare” continued last night, offering more reasons for Shelby and Matt (Sarah Paulson and Cuba Gooding Jr.). Now, Angela Bassett’s daughter is kidnapped/missing; because of this, the family must stay in order to find her. The episode takes notes from Tobe Hooper’s Poltergeist by bringing in a psychic to find her, which also is used as a device to explain the “true story” behind the Roanoke ghost story. While there’s now a lot of answers, the writers are pushing on the mystery of “Croatan”, which by the quick search on Google reveal is a Native American tribe that may or may not have been in alliance with the Roanokans. We’ve seen characters from this episode scalped in previous ones, so I think it’s safe to assume the Croatan are responsible for the vanishing Roanoke people.
FX continues to hide information, thus leaving us with only the promos to gauge what’s head. Below is what’s on Chapter 4, which appears to focus on the secret word, “Croatan”.
