24 Oct Poisoned Mary – Carla Puig
Poisoned Mary
Mary was born in 1834, raised in a rich family from a small town near Cambridge.
When she was young, her father engaged her with John, the first-born son of a family’s friends, who lived in the city.
They got married and went to live in a house next to Mary’s parents home. Everything seemed fine in their relationship, Mary was in love with her husband even if it was an arranged marriage.
But John wasn’t in love with Mary, he had loved Victoria for all his life and when he knew his parents wanted to marry him with another woman, he was devasted.
John and Victoria kept seeing each other for years and, at last, they decided they had to get rid of Mary.
One day, Victoria went secretly to London to buy poison. She arrives to a small shop near Whitechapel and she asked the for something bubonic plague-like symptoms. The man smiled to her and said he had the perfect poison.
Victoria, euphoric, came back to Cambridge and met John. They planned everything and finally John gave Mary the poison. In a few hours, the venom started their effects and her skin started getting black. John, pretending to be scared, started screaming to the servants. They were very aware of the Great Plague, the most devastating pandemics happened in 1665 so the servants were really terrified.
John told them they all needed to leave and seal the house before they got infected.
He locked Mary in a room, putted the key in his pocket, smiled, and run away from the house.
Victoria and him met not far away and laughed while Mary was having a painful death. None was there with her, she died alone and knowing her beloved husband killed her.
From that moment on, her ghost wandered the house waiting for someone to tell her story, that she wasn’t sick, she was murdered.
