Two Girls One Ghost Episode 327 - Haunting of the Ocean Born Mary House
A woman is seven months pregnant on a transatlantic voyage in 1720, giving birth in the belly of a rat-infested ship — when suddenly, pirates attack. But instead of plundering, one pirate hears the newborn’s cry and makes a deal: name the baby Mary, after his mother, and he’ll spare the ship. That child would grow up to be Ocean Born Mary — a woman whose legend sparked centuries of ghost stories, folklore, and New England intrigue.
Two hundred years later, colonial enthusiasts purchased a haunted home allegedly linked to Ocean Born Mary and created a paranormal tourist destination. We trace the line between fact and folklore: from Mary’s miraculous birth to tales of haunted hallways, sword-wielding spirits, and a mysterious green silk dress. Possible treasure, paranormal hoaxes, a 1930s ghost tour hustle, and a visit from Ed and Lorraine Warren.
Whether you're here for pirate drama, haunted house vibes, or historical folklore, this episode delivers a story that's as entertaining as it is creepy.🕯️👻
