Ghost Stories Persist About
Beautiful Theodisia Burr
(Continued From Page One I
York, but too late to warm the
heart of her father, to whom
she doubtless was taking it.
But there are other angles
to the tale. A meal was in
place on the boat when it was
found, leading to the belief that
it had been captured by pirates
who had forced the crew and
passenger to walk the plank.
Far fetched, even McLaurin
might have told you?
Years after the boat had
washed ashore, two criminals
before being executed, confessed
that they had been members of
the pirate crew which had taken
the Patriot, and that all
hands had been forced to walk
the plank. Later still, a dying
beggar in Michigan told of having
been a member of the
crew and that he had been
haunted ever after by the face
of a beautfiul woman who had
pleaded for her life so that she
might visit her father in New
York.
Further local angle is that the
pirates did not force Theodosia
over the side, but had held her
captive, appointing two of the
crew to guard her. She somehow
escaped from her captors
and threw herself in the sea,
whereas the two pirates were
given an hour to produce her.
Failing to find her they were j
hanged on Baldhead Island. And j
to this day at midnight on Bald- ]
head, two pirates may often be j
seen searcning lur men wo[hiyx.
Any beautfiul woman walking on
the island at midnight is likely to
be stopped by the searching pirates,
says the legend.
McLaurin. whose interest is
unusual pictures and not ghosts,
had gone to Baldhead in a party
consisting of several girls as
models, a Southport guide, and
Bill Keziah, Brunswick County's
most active publicist. |
Some fine pictures were shot
during the afternoon, and some
fine sundown scenes registered. A
picnic dinner consumed, then story
telling got around to the BaldIhead
ghost. The girls wanted to

she was lying on the sand. When,
we revived her she said that some |
one, with an unkempt appear-1

eyes had suijdenly peered into her

startling that she had fainted."
It is obvious that McLaurin
does not believe in ghosts, else
he would have had his camera!

had guarded Theodosia Burr!
would have been a photographic:
masterpiece. But he still is some-!
what at a loss to explain who

such frightening effect that she j
fainted. It's just one of those
things, no doubt.
