#26 - The Legless Wonder of Nova Scotia
Manage episode 438172973 series 3288720
In our twenty-sixth episode of Unsolved Canadian Mysteries, Kenton de Jong and Dylan Fairman discuss Jerome, the legless, mysterious man who appeared on the shores of Sandy Cove, Nova Scotia in 1863.
Eight-year-old George Albright was the first to discover Jerome, and once realizing what this lump on the beach was, he immediately went for help. Once brought to the Albright residence, the family tried to figure out where he was from, and who he was, only to learn he did not speak English, French, Italian, Spanish or Latin.
For several years Jerome was taken care for by the people of Digby, Nova Scotia, but eventually, they sent him to Megeghan, Nova Scotia, a primarily Catholic community because they determined Jerome was Catholic too.
It was here that Jerome would be put on display to an audience, a roadside attraction, and became famous for being a legless wonder.
But who was Jerome? Where did he come from? And where did his legs go? Listen to the podcast and find out!
