(Departed) soul mates???


This is one of the more unusual relationship breakup stories to pop up.

An Irish Jack Sparrow impersonator who married the ghost of a pirate has revealed she has split from her 300-year-old hubby.

Earlier this year Amanda Sparrow Large, 46, said she’d found her “soulmate” in a Haitian pirate from the 1700s who was executed for thieving on the high seas.

The loved-up couple were legally married by a shaman priest in a boat off the Irish coast in international waters.

But now the mum from Drogheda, Co Louth, has revealed the unlikely union is over.

Posting on social media she said: “So I feel it’s time to let everyone know that my marriage is over.

“I will explain all in due course but for now all I want to say is be VERY careful when dabbling in spirituality, it’s not something to mess with...”

Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of ectoplasm?

Might I assume the now-divorced groom is in high spirits over the split?

Ectoplasm? I'll stick with a good Jamaican rum.

Ectoplasm or something else???

At what point did society go from recognizing mental illness like this and treating it to celebrating it?

What's next, she's going to declare herself a "furry" and marry the first fox that walks by?

Woman doesn't need a divorce, she needs an exorcism...

Very true. If you open yourself to spirits, spirits will be glad to enter in.

Which is why you want to open yourself to the Holy Spirit, and no other.

My guess is, some bureaucrat explained that her unnamed pirate husband still owed the Crown for his high seas thievery, and that as his wife, they'd decided to collect from her...

He was a pirate. All he was really interested in was her "pearl of great price"!
