OMG there is ZERO mystery! They left a note where they were going. That 'mysterious word' carved into the post was the name of a local First Nations tribe that kind enough to take them in when they were starving. When the governor went to the tribe he FOUND the people. This was NEVER a mystery. I don't know why people keep saying it's a mystery.
To this day, random descendants of that tribe will have blonde hair because of the mixed genes from two different cultures.

There's no mystery of where the Roanoke colonists went! They left the name of the local FN village and when that village was checked they FOUND the colonists! I don't understand why people keep saying this is a mystery.

The "lighting three cigarettes from one match was unlucky" started in WWI and continued in WWII. It wasn't so much unlucky as downright dangerous. Having the matches burn that long pinpointed your location to snipers and mortar. It's not so much unlucky, as it is actually life threatening! It's like the walking under a ladder, it's not unlucky, it's that there is usually someone at the top of the ladder and they might drop something on you. Another is opening an umbrella indoors. Houses used to be MUCH smaller and there was really no room to open an umbrella without poking someone in the eye. A lot of superstitions have common sense origins.
