A young woman remarried after the death of her first husband, but things did not go as planned. She claimed that the ghost of her dead husband haunted her and prevented the new union from taking hold.
This is not the first time, or the last, when a ghost or spirit was named in a divorce. For example, in another case, a woman claimed that her husband was having an affair with a ghost!
From 1912:
Ghost in Divorce Suite
MACON, Ga. — A ghost figured as corespondent in divorce proceedings here today when George W. Mann told the court that his young wife was haunted by the ghost of her former husband, to whom she had made a promise that after his death she would never remarry.
She became so despondent from remorse, Mann said, that he consented to a separation, and then applied for divorce.
He was given his decree.
