The Headless Nun is a ghost story associated with French Fort Cove in Nordin, now the City of Miramichi, New Brunswick.

Consistent with the story that goes once more to the mid 1700s, the Headless Nun was an eighteenth century occupant of the zone named Sister Marie (Inconnue being the French for 'unknown') who was in this manner executed. Portions of the story differ: in one form, a "distraught trapper" cut off her head and ran into the woods with it. In an alternate, two mariners cut off her head after she declined to disclose the area of a fortune. The story holds that Sister Marie's head was never considered, bringing about her spirit without end meandering the zone in pursuit of it. Today, "Headless Nun" tours are around the vacation destination offerings at French Fort Cove.
