In this episode of International Supernatural, Liam and Alana explore Deathly Disappearances. Alana reports on what is considered the Area 51 of colonial American history, the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island. Liam transports you to the chilly reaches of Iceland to tell the spooky saga of Solveig and her ill-fated romance with Rev. Oddur Gíslason. Tangents include: American Horror Story, writing your own songs, the macarena, Icelandic delicacies (a.k.a. rotten shark), and the film Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga.
