Resource Roanoke Whispers Explained!

I ran across this video on YouTube (linked by Justin Kern in El Chiefo Network comments) which clearly explains the whispers heard in the woods (almost verbatim), and the Lore behind this ghostly event. If you watch this video, you could speculate there is more to this Easter Egg and a marching Ghostly British army can be found somewhere nearby - but I’d have thought by now someone would discover this.

Lore Source: In-game Movie Theater “The Ghastly Serenade” movie.

Male Ghost Voice: Eugene Hutton

Female Ghost Voice: Ethel Boshared

Here’s is the location of of the whispers, which can be heard during day or night: https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/photo/rdr2/5eoEGCdEukiF37PGHAUdYQ

I thought it was Hunt for sure after rescuing a lady from Murfrees just a short ways away and she made an odd point of naming her man, killed by the Murfrees, which was "Bradley... Bradley Hunt", and the seemingly random event was significant enough to be depicted in the journal.

After watching the film a few days ago and finding it was Hutton, I was a little bummed out.

Still, I've searched up and down those hills and have yet to find anything more. Maybe some day...

Well dang, maybe we should all start going to the theater more and we’ll learn about even more of these things! The fact that it took this long to find means I’m not the only one who can’t sit thru these theaters lmao

u/Satsloader PS4 Nov 21 '18

Haha right. I’ve only been to the theater twice.

u/Captain_Jalapeno Nov 21 '18

Only been four times, and two of those because Mary and Abigail asked me to go.

u/Satsloader PS4 Nov 21 '18

Haha, those are exactly the only two reasons I’ve been to the theater. 😆

u/n0thingtoseeh3r3 Nov 21 '18

Does each theater have one reel, or does each have multiple reels?

3

u/[deleted] Nov 21 '18

Well there are just different ones like the st denis one has a bunch of different live shows.

I’ve only been to the tent in Valentine and saw an amazing bit on hibernation.

sometimes people describe cold wind when they "see ghosts" idk maybe its nothing

u/BlackICEE32oz Nov 22 '18

What if Arthur can let us know when ghosts are around by being cold in places where he wouldn't normally be?

I admit this IS an interesting theory, but I find it a bit grasping for a vague connection when all the other details for this Mystery are so incredibly blatant from the theater movie. If a connection was supposed to have been made, the lore explaination should have mentioned a secret child. They don’t even imply that these two even had a romantic relationship. Also, the girl still lives with her mother, I doubt any child or pregnancy would have been unnoticed or unmentioned.

Something to note here. There is a random encounter where a person appears headless on a horse in that same area.... Related? Did the ghost army cut off his head too?

Edit: further detail on the encounter. You just see someone walking a horse and they have no head.. The horse keeps going for a bit then the body just falls off the horse eventually.

u/GarboRLZ Xbox One Nov 22 '18

Whoa, never saw anything about that encounter, do you have a video??

5

u/Killspree90 Nov 23 '18

I don't, but its at a fork near where you find the Wolfman. It happened to me around dawn. like 4am or 5 am.

u/holliday50 Nov 25 '18

I'm fairly sure this is just somebody you run into that had a bad encounter with Murfree Brothers. I definitely saw it myself and that was my first thought. Kind of like running into people slouched on their horses with arrows in their backs in Skinner territory.

2

u/Tacdelio Dec 03 '18

Oddly enough, the guy with the arrows in his back is alive. i shot him and lost honor :( or it was a glitch.

3

u/_Shinogenu_ Dec 22 '18

Late but yoy lose honor for disrespecting the dead, unless they’re enemies like Murfrees or something. Also lose honor for shooting the body at the pagan ritual

5

u/Satsloader PS4 Nov 22 '18

Yes, they cut off Eugene’s head. Oddly, there’s no mention of them having horses or using horses the night he was killed. Could be related, but I haven’t seen that headless horseman or even know where that encounter is.

u/HumongousNut Nov 22 '18

I know someone like that too 👁👄👁 hehhehehe

u/Degma Nov 21 '18

This madman actually solved the mystery. Some people say its vague but the name is the holy grail, you cant really deny it.

5

u/JohnnyLuchador Xbox One Nov 21 '18

This is pretty amazing, and a solid lead

4

u/DingleBoone Nov 21 '18

Nice, I wouldn't rule it out, we already have the ghost in the bayou and the ghost train, why not a ghost army too?

3

u/Clownsheuz Nov 21 '18

Very cool.

Got a bunch of new stuff to check out. This could be a larger mystery or could just be these 2 things connected.

Things we outta look for:

Hat, gravestones with names, the stake she was burned on. Witches cauldron isn't too far from Roanoke right? Perhaps related. Lots of leads!

Great find OP.

3

u/Surftoolz Nov 21 '18

Wow I just saw this in the theater in game but didn’t know what to make of it. It felt like something important. Totally makes sense now.

3

u/Krazyflipz Nov 21 '18

Ethel Boshard is the name of the witch that is mentioned being burnt at the stake. I saw if mentioned at the theater in valentine, might be from the same movie mentioned by OP.

u/uhgrizzly Nov 21 '18

Figured it was a reference to the lost colony of Roanoke

5

u/TiberiusWorld Nov 21 '18

Coooooooool.

2

u/chilachinchila Nov 21 '18

When I watched the movie I knew it would be related to an Easter egg.

2

u/VagrantRhapsody Nov 23 '18

I also referenced this movie in an earlier thread. The connection makes perfect sense to me.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '18

I found a strange place.... Why is that if to get off with the horse, she runs away very far from this place. Although there is nothing alive there, no snakes, bears, crocodiles and all sorts of wild animals. That's maybe why afraid of my horse and leaving me there all alone???

1

u/kookazoo PS4 Nov 26 '18

If you heard a strange whistle noise when following horse, it’s a night person encounter.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '18

No, man, it was daytime, the sun was shining. It was like I remember in the Blackwater area. I was really excited about it, but time was short and I had to finish the game. I'm looking for that place, there's a little abandoned cabin.

1

u/Yunglord2k Nov 21 '18

the partd where its "........" just sounds like the same lines just reversed when she says "I need to get back home"

1

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '18

Just when I think this game can't get any better. And that the East can't get any creepier.

Awesome find!

u/CreativeAnything7302 Mar 05 '23

Any more on this? Because the video is wrong

1

u/Competitive-Skin-769 Apr 08 '23

Wait, you guys have videos?

1

u/RepresentativeBig52 24d ago

I do. Wont let me post.

u/Competitive-Skin-769 24d ago

Can you message them to me?

u/RepresentativeBig52 15d ago

All you have to do is ride through the forest. Happens in the day even.
