Hello there :)

Honestly, everything.

Jamestown was originally founded in the year 1607, right before Shakespeare was even born. It was so cold, they weren’t prepared for the winters. So, they started starving and they couldn’t grow crops. They also thought the wolves and coyotes in the woods at night were werewolves, as well as assuming shaman were vampires. They turned to cabalism, eating their children for food. It’s considered to be one of the greatest tragedies. By the time it was rediscovered in the later 17 hundreds, it was completely deserted and to this day people swear its haunted.

Have fun sleeping tonight. (Jk)

Hope this helps, and good luck!
