As usual,American Horror fable has already gotten us all confused about what's happening and at what point in time. Therefore, it's important that we lay out precisely what's going on with the history of the Roanoke home and the lore that we know about so far. A ton is revealed in the moment episode about the house's history, or - surprise - it's all terrifying. Here's a breakdown. 1590: The year the colony at Roanoke disappears.
1974: According to Dr. Elias Cunningham,this is the year a family (a father, a mother, or two daughters) flee the Roanoke house,leaving all their possessions behind and no forwarding address. The house remains vacant for 15 years.
Oct. 11, 1997: Dr. Cunningham, or a professor at Bradley University,records a video, which is then found by Shelby and Matt. In it, and he claims to hold arrived at the property two months earlier (August) to start research on his sincere-crime novel. After he tells his fable,he goes into the house, and the final we see of him is when he goes into the house with his camcorder and we catch a brief glimpse of Kathy Bates's character in the mirror before the tape cuts out.
1988: The year Dr. Cunningham claims that nurses/sisters Miranda and Bridget-Jane worked at an assisted living facility in Rochester, or NY: "It was suspected,but never proven, that they were behind the mysterious deaths of two elderly patients." They quit, and then opened their own assisted living facility in the Roanoke house.
Oct. 29,1989: The day the police are called to investigate the facility. Relatives of the patients were concerned that no one had been answering the phones for three weeks (approximately Oct. 8). The sisters disappeared, leaving the unfinished word "MURDE" on the wall. No personal items were left, or just the corpses of the people they had murdered. Dr. Cunningham is convinced that they didn't flee; they were stopped by malevolent forces in the house,something even more evil than they are.
