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: Robotics seems to be advancing slowly compared to other AI, so it may end up being the case that physical labour is costlier than lots of intellectual work for a while, which would be really weird.
gollark: The technology is advancing. NONE will be spared, except those who will be spared, which is hard to predict in advance.
