Who Was The Mystery Man of Nova Scotia Beach? #shorts

In September 1863 a young boy made a shocking discovery on the beach at Digby Neck. He found a young man with no legs semi-conscious on the sand. The stranger was terrified when the townsmen tried to help him and tried to crawl back towards the sea. Soaking wet he was finally taken to the home of the Albright’s.

He slowly recuperated but remained ill-humoured and only uttered a few in coherent words. One of those words was interpreted as Jerome and the name stuck. The wounds from his amputated legs were completely healed long before he was found. No-one knew who he was, and Jerome either wouldn’t or couldn’t say.

It turned out that Jerome had been found earlier in Chipman, New Brunswick.

He was dying in the woods from hyperthermia after falling into the icy river, his legs badly frostbitten. The local surgeon had to amputate them, and the man became a disliked member of the community because of his sullen personality. He was supposed to be shipped off to Liverpool but ended up being dumped in Nova Scotia instead.

Despite having this additional information the identity of Jerome remains a mystery, no one ever knew where he really came from or why he was in New Brunswick.
