I've been reading about, "THE HAUNTED HOUSE IN COCK LANE!!!" and the ghost of Miss Fanny (seriously, Cock and Fanny?) who supposedly died of the Small Pox, but as her spirit told a young girl, "I was poisoned by my husband!"

The book is, "Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" by Charles Mackay, from back in 1841.

It's got some good stuff in there. They sure talked funny back in them there days!
