Headless Nun

The Headless Nun is a ghost story associated with French Fort Cove in Nordin, now the City of Miramichi, New Brunswick.

Legend

According to the tale that dates back to the mid 1700s, the Headless Nun was an 18th-century resident of the area named Sister Marie Inconnue (Inconnue being the French for 'unknown') who was subsequently beheaded.[1] Details of the story vary: in one version, a "mad trapper" cut off her head and ran into the woods with it.[1] In another, two sailors cut off her head after she refused to divulge the location of a treasure.[2] The story holds that Sister Marie's head was never found, resulting in her spirit forever roaming the area in search of it.[3] Today, "Headless Nun" tours are among the tourist attraction offerings at French Fort Cove.[4][5]

gollark: So you probably need checksums now and you use up even more of the packet size.
gollark: And you also need to be able to autodetect properties of the system of DNS servers between you and the authoritative one doing the actual bridging. But that might randomly change (e.g. if you switch network) and start messing up your data.
gollark: But you also want to be able to send data up efficiently, but you're probably using much of the limited space for user data which won't get munged by recursive DNS/proxies/whatever on the session token and whatever, so now you have to deal with *that*.
gollark: Possibly? You apply somewhere.
