White is forced to return to England to gather supplies, and names his son-in-law Ananias Dare (Adrian Paul) interim governor, backed with the strong arm of George Howe (Rhett Giles).
That evening, Ananias's pregnant wife Eleanor (Frida Farrell) is sleeping, when suddenly, she has a gruesome dream that her nightgown is covered in blood, with her baby taken from her womb.
Ananias must work with Manteo, a local Croatan Indian chief, and his tribe to find a way to send the evil wraiths out of this world and into hell where they belong.
They are soon forced to devise a plan to defeat the wraiths; they set up a raft with a pile of wood and hay on it and wait for the moon to come.
As they close in on Ananias and Virginia, Howe launches a fire arrow onto the raft, setting it aflame; as the wraiths cannot cross water, they are forced to suffer.
Later on, Virginia is found by the Indians and is to be raised as one of their own; Manteo orders the tribe to bury the colonists and set their colony on fire.
Dread Central rated it a score of two out of five, with the reviewer writing, "Wraiths of Roanoke is a lifeless yet inoffensive supernatural thriller with a historical bent to it.
Well made yet still resoundingly uneventful; it’s got its head in the right place, it just doesn’t deliver much for your investment and tried my patience with all the waiting for the storyline to develop any traction".
