Well, that’s a headline you never quite see coming.

Nevertheless, this story is about to unfold in a weirder way than you might imagine.

Amanda Large was a publicist and PR manager who tragically lost her 3-month-old son Thomas a few years ago. Things were never the same for the mother of 3 after he died, but she found solace one day while watching the film Pirates of the Caribbean.

She became totally enchanted by Johnny Depp’s character Captain Jack Sparrow and soon after that, she transformed herself into Ireland’s only female Sparrow impersonator.

But things got complicated when she made the news in February 2018. That’s when the 45-year-old mother married her “soulmate.”

She says she met her future husband in 2014 in a most unlikely way – his spirit visited her in bed one night.

But before you add that to your dating repertoire you should know that the man in question is a ghost. And not just any ghost – the ghost of John Robert Teague, the Haitian pirate better known as Captain Jack Sparrow.

Large was just as surprised as the rest of us to discover she had feelings for a ghost.

She told People Magazine:

“This was about six months of communication so I finally accepted it, obviously we had spent a lot of time together. I was horrified to discover I had romantic feelings for him, having never heard of that before.”

Their courtship was partly conducted through a medium, although they had some frank chats of their own.

“I told him I wasn’t really cool with having casual sex with a spirit and I wanted us to make a proper commitment to each other,” she said in an interview with the Irish Mirror.

And they made as proper of a commitment as a spirit and his human impersonator possibly could – they were married on a boat in international waters off the coast of Ireland by a shaman priest. A medium stood by during the ceremony so the groom could communicate his “I do.”

Despite society’s increasing open-mindedness, Large was surprised to find out that not everyone was supportive of her alternative arrangement.

“The reaction I have got is quite shocking really,” she told People. “In this day and age it’s cool to be whatever, or so you think, but apparently we are not yet open-minded enough in society to accept relationships between us and other realms.”

Maybe someday.

Alas, it was actually Mr. Teague’s selfish behavior that did them in.

While the marriage started off alright, eventually the new bride felt like her husband was draining the life out of her. Her health deteriorated as she claimed her husband was “stealing or draining” her life force to use for his own “selfish intentions.”

In December 2018, after less than a year of marriage, Large wrote that the couple was going to divorce.

“I wish I never got married to him,” she told Inside Edition. “I wish I was that healthy person that I was before I met him. Jack has turned what was a beautiful and loving relationship to something that is ugly.”

The Irish Mirror reported that she revealed their separation in a social media post in which she warned others about making the same mistake:

“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…”

We don’t know how Large feels about her impersonation gig now that she’s divorcing the ghost of the Pirates Of The Caribbean character. She’s spent thousands of dollars changing her name, and getting replica tattoos, dreadlocks, and gold teeth to look like Johnny Depp’s character.

Here she is in full regalia:

The good news is that Teague says the divorce should help her regain her health and independence.

But to prevent further contact with her ex-husband, she’s also thinking about following up with an exorcism.
