The story of a Drogheda woman who married the 'ghost of a 300-year-old pirate' is going global
IRELAND MADE INTERNATIONAL headlines today, but… not for the reasons you might expect.
Drogheda native and mother of five Amanda Teague is going global for marrying her ‘soulmate’, Jack, who just so happens to be the ghost of a 300-year-old pirate.
Teague says she met Jack in 2014 when he appeared beside her in bed – and after two years of courtship, things got properly serious between them. She told The Irish Sun:
The ceremony took place in a boat off the Irish coast, in international waters, where the marriage would be legal.

A medium was sought out so Jack could give his verbal consent, and his ring was fitted on a candle in place of his hand. The couple has since bought a home together, and Teague says they have sex and go on dates:
Teague cosplays as Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean films and says her husband looks very similar to the character, played by Johnny Depp.
