Question

It’s not in Maryland, but the Yellow Shack houses a Goatman from this region who wears a yellow raincoat stained with his murdered goat’s blood as he hunts for teenagers. The murder of wealthy palatine passengers in this non-Rhode Island region spawned a vengeful burning ghost ship. In this region, Captain Eli Bloody held a trial for a witch who carved 6·6·6 into a man’s forehead, only to vanish after lightning burned the word “CORA” into an oak tree. (15[1])A Sallie Cotten epic (-5[1])recounts how a silver arrow gifted by Elizabeth II and an arrow made of nacre pierced the heart of a (*) young girl from this region who was transfigured into a white doe by a scorned Indian (-5[1])sorcerer. The spirit of a headless pirate’s body that swam thrice around Robert Maynard’s ship appears as a ghostly light while calling for its head near this region’s Teach’s Hole. (-5[1])For 10 points, Virginia Dare was born in what (10[1])island (-5[2])chain’s (10[2])Lost Colony of Roanoke? ■END■ (10[2]0[1])

ANSWER: Outer Banks [prompt on North Carolina; prompt on Nag’s Head, Ocracoke, Cape Hatteras, or Roanoke by asking “what larger island chain is that a part of?”] (The Goatman is from Nag’s Head. The palatine ship is from Ocracoke. Blackbeard died in Hatteras.)
