And the answer is...

...Conrad Aiken when he thought he was dying he told his wife "Give my love to the world", the dramatic flair of which she found amusing... he didn't die that time.  She liked it so much, the phrase now resides on her tombstone at the Bonaventure Cemetery, the same cemetery that "Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil" centered around... 

And no, I'm not an intellectual, I just become obsessed with topics that interest me and I research them to death.  This happened with Savannah, GA after reading the book Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil.   I love true stories.  I become engulfed in the experience...

Another very interesting story is the one about a Philipino lady named Teresita...  According to court records, her spirit came back to avenge her death and catch the man who had robbed and murdered her.  I first saw it in a TV movie called "A Voice From The Grave", so then I bought the book.  I can't remember the name of it, but it all happened in the '70s.  The most interesting part is that the man, who was probably going to get off because of circumstancial evidence, ended up confessing to the entire crime.  Those involved believe that Teresita's spirit appeared to him and scared him shitless... 

I already told my husband that if I die before him, he better never re-marry or I'll haunt his evey waking moment...
